Hello there! ClarityCrafts are celebrating their 30th anniversary this weekend and the celebrations are kicking off tomorrow (Friday) with the launch of the adorable penguin stamps and dies collection. I’ve got an early peek of one of the ‘penguin billboard’ stamps for you today – I just love these images! The first step was to… Read More penguin Christmas joy
Hello crafty friends! Today’s card is a bit of a mixture of styles – you all know I’m a CAS (clean & simple) girl at heart, so even when I try and do something more grungy it still ends up in a CAS style, which is exactly what I’m offering today! I’ve used a few… Read More CAS grunge!
Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card using one of my favourite ClarityCrafts die – the ‘shepherds’ window’. I love this traditional stained glass effect and have combined paper piecing, glitter & mica powders on this one. I based the layout on the sketch at The Paper Players with the colours from Hand… Read More shepherds’ window

Hello crafty friends. I’m back with a second card today (this is becoming a regular occurrence!) courtesy of our new theme of ‘at the beach’ at As You See It challenge. Despite the fact that I’d picked this one back at the beginning of the year, I was struggling for inspiration until I remembered ClarityCrafts… Read More As You See It challenge – at the beach
Welcome to my crafty blog and the new theme of K for Kitchen at Alphabet Challenge, which Melanie has chosen. For me, it was an obvious choice of ‘Linda’s Mum’s kitchen’ stamp set from ClarityCrafts, which I’ve had for a while and have to confess had not yet inked into action! I’ve taken a slightly… Read More K for kitchen
Hello there! Today’s card features one of the ‘hats 2 – vintage’ stamp set from ClarityCrafts, which I think is just such an elegant design and is perfect for this card which is going to a friend who’s about to start chemotherapy for breast cancer (hence the pink shades and the turban!) I took the… Read More be yourself

Hopefully I can still type straight… I’ve pulled several challenges together on today’s card, using a couple of ClarityCrafts stamps sets. Inspire.Create want cards with a summer theme and the ‘red… Read More summer birthday
