Welcome to my crafty blog and the next in my series working back through the Claritystamp new design club stamps. Today’s card uses the ‘candle’ from September 2015, which I have to confess has not previously seen the light of day! I thought it would work well with some WOW embossing powder to give it… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – candle #107
Welcome to my crafty blog. I had meant to share this card yesterday, but spent the day in central London with my sister and just ran out of time… It is so lovely to have the Covid restrictions easing – we even went to the theatre (wearing masks, of course) for the first time two… Read More black & white butterfly
Welcome to my crafty blog and a new challenge over at the Alphabet challenge. It’s Caz’s turn to host – we’re now onto J and she’s challenged us to us ‘Just One Word’ on our cards this time. I’ve gone with a couple of Claritystamp’s sets (having taken inspiration from one of the ‘Moment of… Read More dream in blue
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve had another play with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Artistically Inked’ stamp set, this time just using the smaller individual stamps with the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches and the colour palette from Color Throwdown. I haven’t used any of my WOW embossing powders for a while, so thought it was… Read More birthday roses
Welcome to my crafty blog. I got the Claritystamp riverside reflection masks out again today – I love playing with these as the cards always feel like mini works of art (speaking as someone who can’t draw for toffee!) and they meet CASology‘s challenge perfectly. This week’s theme over at As You See It challenge… Read More may all your wishes come true

Today’s card has a bit more of an autumnal feel – I picked up the challenge theme of ‘harvest’ from Just Us Girls with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘painted harvest’ set from a few years ago. I thought that would work well with this week’s colour palette from The Paper Players The… Read More thankful for you
Welcome to my craft blog, and a Christmas card in less than traditional colours! I was inspired by the challenge over at Inspired by – I love the idea of a tropical Santa, but didn’t have anything suitable in my stash so took the colours from the picture to use with Julie Hickey’s ‘holly jolly… Read More tropical Christmas?
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into Claritystamp’s new design club – this time it’s the ‘follow your dreams’ stamp from August 2015. I’ve combined it with the ‘fly away’ stamp set (I love the energy in the boy taking off into the sky). I started by cutting… Read More claritystamp new design club lookback – follow your dreams #106
Welcome to my crafty blog and a second post for today – it’s rained all afternoon so no chance of gardening and a great excuse for more crafting! I’ve had another play with the new ‘Feather It’ stamp set, designed by Marion Emberson for Julie Hickey designs and thought it would work well with this… Read More sending happy thoughts
Welcome to my crafty blog on a very grey and wet day in the UK. I’m so glad we went to the flower show yesterday – it wouldn’t have been much fun today with all this rain. I’m continuing on my floral theme, however, inspired by this week’s ‘flower power’ challenge at Global Design Project,… Read More flower power!
