Hello crafty friends and welcome to Sunday’s dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club. I’m now up to November 2020 and the ‘winter’ stamps. I decided to just use the holly strip for a Christmas card, and stamped it twice in Archival ‘fern green’ across the front of an A6 card blank. I scored a couple… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – winter
Hello there. Today’s card uses one of the new stamps I got at Claritystamp’s Open Day last weekend – the ‘linocut daisy’ set. I thought it would work well with heat embossing, so decided to give that a go. I’ve taken the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the new colour combo of blue &… Read More linocut daisy
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge with F, and it’s my turn to host so I’ve chosen ‘friendship’. This sentiment from Julie Hickey Designs’ ‘positive wishes’ is just perfect, together with one of the floral sprays from her new ‘bouquet of blooms’ set. I’ve used the sketch from… Read More F for friendship
Welcome to my crafty blog and a very CAS one layer card. I was inspired by AAA cards challenge to just use 1 of the 9 rectangle areas on a card front with butterflies – all the design has to sit within the rectangle. I’ve teamed it up with the ‘dots’ theme from Addicted to… Read More butterflies
Welcome to my crafty blog and some exciting news! I’ve been invited to join the design team over at Sparkles challenges and this is my first contribution. My team-mate Vickie has chosen ‘things with wings’ as this month’s theme – I went for the biplane from an old Stampin’ Up! set ‘sky is the limit’.… Read More things with wings
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
Welcome to my crafty blog. Well I seem to be doing quite a bit of die cutting at the moment – today’s card features a bit more! I dug out my Stampin’ Up! ‘forever fern’ set, after being inspired by a post from a bloggy friend that used it. Somehow I’ve managed to combine four… Read More forever fern wreath
Hello there! Having shared a brand new purchase yesterday, I’m back with my Sunday dip into Claritystamp’s Craft Club back issues and today it’s the ‘sing your song’ stamp from November 2020. This is such a cheerful little stamp! I started by stamping the bird & trees onto white card using ‘black soot’ Distress Oxide,… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – sing your song
Welcome to my crafty blog. Well, I’ve had a fabulous day today at the Claritystamp Open Day down in Kent – my first major craft event since the arrival of Covid! So much inspiration from Barbar Gray & the Clarity design team (and maybe a bit of shopping as well…!) Of course, I had to… Read More woodland ivy
I thought I’d share a card today that I was asked to make for someone celebrating their 80th birthday. I’ve used Julie Hickey’s ‘beautiful blooms’ dies again but this time, rather than the small graphic daisies, I’ve gone for the larger flowers. I used the sketch from Global Design Project and the new 2022 Stampin’… Read More 80th birthday
