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

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sharing a birthday card I made suing the Claritystamp ‘country animals’ stencil. It’s so nice to be able to get out and about again on my days off.

Up and away

Welcome to my little crafty blog. I should have been at the Claritystamp Open Day in Kent today with my sister, but Covid-19 has put a stop to that, as it has so much of what we knew as normal life.
