Welcome to my crafty blog. I thought we ought to feature a kiss today as it’s Valentine’s Day, but it’s not the sort you might immediately think of – I’ve used the ‘seedpods’ stamps from Clarity’s KISS (Keep It Simple Stamping) range! I thought they would work well with the colours palette from this week’s… Read More seedpods KISS
Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to have been invited along as guest designer for the new challenge at Global Design Project, with these gorgeous colours. I decided to keep it fairly simple and just let the colours do the work with the large flowers from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘artistic’ die set. I’d seen a beautiful card over… Read More Guest designer for the new colour challenge at Global Design Project

I went with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘waves of inspiration’ set (although there’s no waves in evidence, I admit!), taking inspiration from the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. I used the sketch outline… Read More W for Water at Alphabet Challenge
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card features a Claritystamp that I haven’t used in a while, the ‘funky foliage’. I took the colours from Just Us Girls with the inspiration photo from The Card Concept (although you may think my interpretation of it is a bit left field…!) I started with a background piece… Read More funky tulips

I… Read More sing a song
