Welcome to my crafty blog and a card that I’m still in two minds about! I decided to use Clarity’s ‘Jayne’s winter scene – church’ for this card based on the sketch from TGIF challenges (which I rotated), picking up the top row from TicTacToe‘s grid. I started by creating an inky background. I’m really… Read More Christmas blessings
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been making more cards with Julie Hickey’s ‘sent with love’ envelope stamp, inspired by Phillipa Lewis’ recent online tutorial. I love the idea of stamping only part of the image – it makes stamps much more versatile. I’ve taken the colours from Just Add Ink and will also share it with… Read More birthday love and laughter
Hello there! Sunday again so I’ve been back to my Clarity craft club stash for the ‘hemlock aperture’ die from August 2020. I strated with a strip of white card and cut the hemlock die into it.

Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card with no ink or stamping on it (not my usual style!) I thought of Clarity’s Santa round aperture die when I saw the theme at The Paper Players and it works really well for the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. Inkspirational‘s theme of paper piecing was also… Read More paper pieced Santa
Welcome to my crafty blog and another last minute challenge offering. Just Add Ink‘s theme is to ‘choose two’ and it probably doesn’t need explaining that I went for deer & trees! I’m also linking it up with Time Out‘s ‘winter’ challenge I’ve used the Clarity ‘riverside landscape reflection’ masks, starting with a piece of… Read More wintery morning
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is inspired by some designs by Philippa Lewis, who’s part of Julie Hickey’s design team – she had a great online class this morning, although I couldn’t craft along and need to find time to catch up wiht the latter part of the session. Anyway, I decided to do some… Read More sent with love
Hello crafty friends. Well this week’s dip back into Clarity’s craft club took me to the leafy aperture die from July 2020.
