Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a last minute offering for Color Throwdown – I thought their colours would be perfect for a countryside scene using one of Claritystamp’s ‘room with a view’ aperture dies.

Heoo there! Well, it’s Sunday again so back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club, this time to May 2021 and the ‘wicker texture’ abstract stamp.

Hello there. Well it’s been another scorching day here in the South East of England – the hottest ever recorded! I thought I’d make another Christmas card, in the hope that if I’m thinking about cooler days I’ll stop noticing the heat… (it didn’t work!) This is essentially a one layer card using Claritystamps, although… Read More decorating the tree
Welcome to my crafty blog on a very hot evening here in the UK. You definitely need a hat on if you’re out in these temperatures, so I decided the photo over at Fusion was the perfect starting point.
