Welcome to my crafty blog and another masculine birthday card. This one has got a movie theme (I know, I’ve already given it away!) courtesy of the current challenge over at Time Out so I’ve gone with one of my favourite films. It’s such an iconic movie and I knew this Mini image from an… Read More The Italian Job?
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses some more of my favourite blending techniques, plus the Claritystamp landscape masks that are on my regular use list. I was so pleased with the way the colours from this week’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenged worked for this card. I also took the theme from Global… Read More sunset scene
Welcome to my crafty blog and a card that is again virtually all die cutting with only a little bit of stamping. I do love Julie Hickey’s Alphabet letter dies, but have never used them before as the central focus of a card. I thought they would work well, though, for the current sketch over… Read More it’s your birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. Now as all good crafters know, Christmas starts in July so I’m getting organised this year and here’s the first of my offerings! To be honest, it’s thanks to the challenge over at Addicted to CAS as their theme is …. ‘Christmas’! I decided it was perfect to combine with… Read More Christmas stars
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another pansy! I do really like the ‘pansy patch’ set from Stampin’ Up! – the versatility with being able to create flowers by stamping and just with die cuts is so useful. Unusually for me today’s card has got very little stamping on it, apart from the sentiment and… Read More pansy patch
Welcome to my crafty blog. Bit of a late post today with my weekly dip into the Claritystamp new design club – this time it’s the agapanthus stamp from March 2015. I decided to use it for a few of this week’s blog challenges. The colours are from Color Throwdown – for once I’ve stayed… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – agapanthus #101
Welcome to my crafty blog. After sharing some of my older stash over the last couple of days, I’m now back with a brand new set of linocut stamps from Claritystamp. These are not my usual style, but I decided to invest in a set anyway. The stamps are from original linocuts produced by Barbara… Read More linocut allium
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new challenge over at Alphabet – we’re up to G this time and Meg has asked us to use green or gold (can you guess which one I went for…?). I’ve gone for a quick and easy design with this card, as I’ve combined it with… Read More G is for green
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve stepped up today’s card with a little heat embossing on a Claritystamp that I’ve had for a long time but not used nearly as much as I should. This ‘love is in the air’ stamp is such a great image – it reminds me of a Banksy artwork. I… Read More love is in the air
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sitting here watching tennis at Wimbledon, so had to go wiht strawberries for this card! I also took inspiration from a couple of challenges with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches. I’ve picked up the theme of ‘farmhouse chic’ from TGIF challenges – I love homemade strawberry jam, and… Read More strawberries just for you
