New from Little Claire - Christmas Tags

Brand new from Little Claire is a gorgeous set of tag Christmas sentiment stamps - a perfect finishing touch to a Christmas card.

There are twelve in the set and you can find them here on the Little Claire website.

For my first card (above) I used one of the tags 'Let it Snow' which I stamped three times on blue card and then cut out.  I tied a short piece of white sheer ribbon through the top of each tag and then attached them to the card using foam pads.  The paper I've used is from Craft Creations.

For my second card I used one of my favourite Little Claire stamps called 'A Little Bird Told Me' - you can find it here on the website and it works really well either for a Christmas design or for a winter birthday.  The paper I've used is from the First Edition Stocking Fillers pad which you can find here on the website and I've used one of the papers to paper piece the little girl's outfit.  This time I stamped the sentiment tag on kraft card, added a ribbon and again attached it with a foam pad.

Poppies

This is a very simple card I made last week using the 'Swirly Whirlies Poppy' stamp from Little Claire.  I embossed the white background using one of my Cuttlebug folder and then die cut the stamped paper and a border using a Labels die.  Very simple but I was pleased with the result.
