Sharing my crafting journey in the world of handmade cards – now a Design Team member for ClarityCrafts

Author: deborahwheeler13

I recently retired from full time work as a senior nurse, so now have time to indulge my love of crafting. I've been making cards for about 10 years - always learning and always enjoying the journey

another Christmas jumper

Hello everyone. I’m back with another look at the new Mini Christmas Jumpers stamps, the sales of which are raising money for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper event. Today I’ve gone with one of the silhouette images (which also work as infill stamps for the outlines), teaming it up with a piece of striped BOW-WOB… Read More another Christmas jumper

Craft Club stencil – foliage tree

Hello crafty friends. I’m sharing a card & ATC (artist’s trading card) that I sent to my partner in this month’s Clarity ATC swap. The theme was ‘festive’ and ‘silver’ and I opted to put the November Craft Club stencil into use on both the ATC and card. Let me talk you through the process… Read More Craft Club stencil – foliage tree

Last minute Christmas cards!

Hello everyone – it’s Sunday evening and we’re headed for the last full week before the big day. Somehow I’ve wound up short of Christmas cards (I always forget to add my work colleagues into the overall numbers and just count up those to be posted!) so I whipped up a quick batch this afternoon… Read More Last minute Christmas cards!

simply sending love

Hello crafty friends. I’ve stripped it right back again on today’s card with one of Linda’s Christmas Floral Rounds stamps, and the beauty of these stamps is that they’re not only for Christmas – the lovely images work for other occasions too. Here’s a quick run through my process, starting with one of the 3.5″… Read More simply sending love

R for Ribbon at Alphabet Challenge

Hello crafty friends. I’m kicking off Friday with our new challenge at Alphabet – we’ve reached R and Billie has given us ‘ribbon’ as the theme. Now, you’ll know that I don’t usually add ribbon or other embellishments to my cards, so Clarity’s Bijou Ribbon Sentiments stamps came to my rescue! I also want to… Read More R for Ribbon at Alphabet Challenge

A gift for you

Hello crafty friends. Well, after the new goodies I’ve been playing with over the last few days, I took a turn on today’s little creation and dipped back into the Craft Club for the ‘wrapped in lace’ stamp (#205) from November 2023. It’s such a pretty design, I really should use it more – today… Read More A gift for you

triangle trees

Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with another new Clarity product today – the Triangle Trees masks. These came out of one of Barbara’s SHAC (Safe, Happy & Creative) sessions when she was drawing them, and they make layering up the trees so easy. First, though, I needed to create a frame on a 6×6… Read More triangle trees
