Hello crafty friends. Well, I decided that I really need to start using up some of the stash of designer papers I’ve got stored on my craft shelves – both of these cards use the new ‘Eden’s Garden’ series from Stampin’ Up!

Hello crafty friends. Well it’s Sunday again so here’s the next in my trip back through Claritystamp’s Craft Club. This ‘buddleia’ stamp was from March 2018 – these are such great plants for the garden as they attract the butterflies (although it’s a bit early in the year just now for them to be flowering,… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – buddleia #137
Hello crafty friends. I’m back today with a card for friends who’ll be celebrating their wedding anniversary soon. I’ve combined three challenges for this one – the colours from Global Design Project, the theme of ‘summer’ from Just Add Ink and Time Out‘s topic of ‘in love’. I thought Global Design Project’s colours were perfect… Read More butterfly love

I’ve taken inspiration for this little offering from a couple of current challenges. I picked up the overall… Read More celebrate every moment
Hello crafty friends. I’ve delved back into my folder of inky mop-up pieces for the background piece on this card and teamed it with what I think is my favourite stamp from Clarity’s 2021 Craft Club – I just love this little landscape. The starting point for this card was an easy choice, as the… Read More another inky background
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses Stampin’ Up!’s ‘birds and branches’ set, which I always think is great for a slightly different new baby/ baby shower card. I’ve used it quite a few times in various ways and thought of it again when I saw the theme of ‘new’ for the current challenge at Time… Read More new life
Hello crafty friends. Well I’ve gone back to carry on with my trip back through Claritystamp’s Craft Club (previously the New Design Club). We’re now up to February 2018, which was this ‘love’ sentiment stamp (good timing for Valentine’s Day!) I decided to keep it very clean & simple on this one, so the sentiment… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – love sentiment #136
