Sharing my crafting journey in the world of handmade cards – now a Design Team member for ClarityCrafts

Author: deborahwheeler13

I recently retired from full time work as a senior nurse, so now have time to indulge my love of crafting. I've been making cards for about 10 years - always learning and always enjoying the journey

Lady Madonna

Hello friends. I’ve got another fairly quick card to share with you today – we had a fab family lunch out, so not a lot of time for crafting! Today’s offering uses the Madonna window aperture die (half price until midnight tomorrow in Clarity’s Big Autumn Sale) – this is one of my favourite Christmas… Read More Lady Madonna

party time

Hello friends. I’ve done a bit more finishing off with some of the backgrounds that I made during Saturday’s workshop with the gel press plate and alcohol inks.
