New Little Claire Christmas Die Cut Sheet

Today I'm sharing a card I've made using one of the images from the latest die cut sheet from Little Claire:

 

There are six different Christmas images on the sheet including four of this year's new Christmas designs.  Each design pops out of the sheet in a square shape but you don't have to use them like this - I've used my Spellbinders dies on some of them or just cut them in to a different shape.  You can find this latest sheet here on the Little Claire website.  The rest of the sheets are here - they are normally £1 per sheet but if you buy 6 sheets you can get them for £5 here.  They are great for quick cards because they're already coloured in.

The paper I've used is from the new 'Nordic Christmas' paper pack which you can find here.  I've used one of the double sided sheets - I used the reverse side for the strip down the side of the card so it matches perfectly with the rest of the paper.

For my card I've used 'Happy Holidays' which is available here on the website and one of the stamps from the 'Postcard Sentiment' set which you can find here.  The backing paper I've used is a sheet from an atlas.  I chose Cornwall because I spent lots of happy holidays there when I was younger - my grandparents were Cornish.
