Hello everyone. I’m back with another look at the Big Blooms – Stripey Flowers stamp set that I used on yesterday’s card. This time I’ve gone with the large leafy flower from the set as my focal image, adding extra depth to the background with one of the Leafy Overlay Stencils. I cut one of… Read More Yellow birthday bloom
Hello everyone. I’ve got a rather poignant card to share with you today, as we’re celebrating Sarah Brennan, our wonderful Clarity design team friend, who sadly passed away unexpectedly earlier this month. We’re flooding the Clarity Facebook pages with cards inspired by Sarah’s style – and one thing she loved and was well known for… Read More Sarah’s rainbow leaves

I spent this afternoon beavering away on various design team assignments whilst watching Paul on Clarity TV showcase some more of the bargains in the Big Autumn Sale.

Hello crafty friends. Today’s card combines the Decorative Panel & Window dies with a piece of Toscana designer card for a 90th birthday card for a dear friend of mine. These dies haven’t seen action for over 2 years, so I thought it was time they got an airing – they’re great for special occasions… Read More 90th birthday window

Good morning crafty friends. Our new theme at Sparkles Challenge starts today and we want to see die cutting on your cards. That gave me a good excuse to play with the Treescape Aperture die, one of my favourite images although I tend to gravitate more to the stamps than the die for this one.… Read More Diecut treescape for Sparkles Challenge #205
Hello crafty friends. I’m picking up a card I made in the summer just before I went off on my travels using the Time to Party Waymarker stamps. This time, instead of using the waymarker, I pulled out one of the Cake Stand postcards, using several of the sentiment stamps with it for a birthday… Read More All about the cake at Addicted to Stamps & More #528
Hello everyone. I’m back to an autumn vibe today thanks to our new palette at CAS Colours & Sketches, which I put to use with one of the Leafy Overlay stencils.

Hello crafty friends. I’m still playing with my Joy of Dance stamps today, but went for something of a contrast to yesterday’s card with one of the dancing girls and a little silhouette butterfly in some lovely pastel colours. I took one of the Elements – Skies tags for my topper, then stamped the girl… Read More Butterfly dancer
