Hello there! Well I had two great shows today on Create and Craft (if you missed them, you can watch on catch-up via the website) showcasing the new ‘Christmas Elements’ collection designed by Tina Cox for ClarityCrafts. I thought I’d share one of my demos with you as well, before I wend my way home.… Read More SNOW-man
Here we are at Friday again! Our new theme at As You See It challenge starts today and Jan has opted for ‘vintage or shabby chic’ this time round. Now neither of these are my strong suit, but I figured that kraft card and a dried teabag ought to give me a vintage feel! I… Read More vintage at As You See It challenge
Good morning crafty friends! I’m a bit late posting this card for the new Sparkles challenge, which went live at 9am (having been away on Clarity’s two day crafting retreat and busy prepping for TV this weekend before I left, I’ve got behind with my scheduling!) You can no doubt tell that this month’s theme… Read More Butterflies at Sparkles Challenge
Hi everyone! I’ve just had a fabulous couple of days at the annual ClarityCrafts summer retreat, picking up lots of tips and inspiration. I therefore thought it was only right to have got another of the background pieces from last year’s retreat used up at the weekend before I set off – I’ll have another… Read More all about the background!
Hello there. I’m back with another take on the ‘playful sprite’ printed image from ClarityCrafts‘ Poppets collection – I do love this little pair! I’ve pulled in a couple more challenegs on this one, taking the colours from The Paper Players (with brown as my neutral) and Seize the Birthday‘s ‘cute critters’ theme. So I… Read More poppet birthday
Hello friends! It’s just been declared the hottest day of the year so far in the UK, which makes the beach seem really tempting! I’m about to get into the car instead and head off to Kent for the next two days for ClarityCrafts annual summer crafting retreat, but I’ll most definitely have my shades… Read More beach vibes
Hello crafty friends! Well it’s very hot here this weekend, so I’ve gone with a colourful summer sky on today’s card, featuring the colours from Just Add Ink and the sketch from Atlantic Hearts and using ClarityCrafts new ‘just woodland & birds’ stamps (which work perfectly for the theme at Addicted to Stamps) I’ve pulled… Read More it’s your special day
It’s the weekend and time to relax a little, so here’s a card encouraging you to do just that thanks to ClarityCrafts‘ ‘dippy toe lady A4 sampler’ set. I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches (rotating it) and the tones from Color Hues, which both worked perfectly with these little square stamps. I worked… Read More and breathe…
Hello friends. Well, here we are at Friday again and we’ve got a new theme at Alphabet Challenge – it’s J this time and Caz has chosen Juvenile (children or babies). I thought it was about time I broke out one of ClarityCrafts ‘poppets’ images – I’ve had the printed sheets (they come in a… Read More J for Juvenile at Alphabet Challenge
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with a card starring another of the new 8×8 stencils from ClarityCrafts – this time it’s the thin plaid one, which I used to emboss the card rather than blending ink through it. I failed to take pictures at each stage of this one, but it’s simple enough to talk… Read More checked birthday wishes
