GDT Card for Crafty Catz


Today I'm sharing my final card as a GDT member for Crafty Catz - a big thanks to everyone on the team for letting me part of the challenge blog during August!

The challenge theme this time is 'ribbon pleating' and you can find all the details plus see the cards from the Design Team here on the Crafty Catz challenge blog.

The challenge is sponsored by Crafty Ribbons:


For my card I've used of the new Christmas digis from Pink Gem - this one is called 'Reindeer Jodie' and you can find her here on the Pink Gem website.

I've also used paper from Craft Creations and from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas collection which you can find here on the Little Claire website.  The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - 'inspiration photo' - I've used the colours
Christmas Cards All Year Round - 'make it fussy and fancy'
Crafty Sentiments Designs - 'make it girly'

New from Little Claire - Christmas Postcards


 New today from Little Claire is the 'Christmas Postcards' sentiment set - a great range of Christmas messages on little postcards.  You can find the set here on the Little Claire website and here's what the set looks like:


They're great for adding a sentiment to the inside or outside of cards and they make perfect little 'stoppers' for easel cards too.

I've made a tag card using four of the postcards and also the very cute 'Row of Robins' stamp from the Little Claire Dinkies range which you can find here on the website.  The tag card I've used is available here on the website.

Here's a close up of two of the panels:

New from Little Claire - Manphabet


Another great stamp set has just been released by Little Claire and this time it's the great 'Manphabet' set - an alphabet and numbers set for men's cards!  A great idea for personalising cards or using as the main focus of a design.

You can find the set here on the website - this is what it looks like:


I've kept my card (above) very simple to show how great the letters are - I've just used papers from Craft Creations and some die cut photo corners.
