It also picks up the ‘all about love’ theme from Inspire.Create and the… Read More Sparkles challenge – hearts & flowers

Hello there. I’m carrying on with my latest Clarity Craft Club goodies, today with the ‘daisies’ stamp that arrived earlier this month. Sadly, I need a few sympathy cards (it’s that time of year!) and I thought the colours from The Paper Players would work for that. I’m also going to share it as another contribution to Colorful… Read More February daisies

I’m going to share it as a second contribution to Addicted to Stamps‘ challenge I decided to do a bit of over-stamping on this one, so first cut a mask out for the floral frame image. I… Read More The earth sings in flowers

I’ve used the ‘square’ design postcard for this offering, cutting the card along one of the curves for my landscape. First, though, I created the sunrise on my card using the ‘sunshine’… Read More sunrise landscape

What’s a Christmas card doing here in February? Well, I started the New Year aiming to make one Christmas card each week to build up my stash and pretty much failed on that last month, so I figured I’d better get my bum in gear and make a start! With all the hearts around at the moment… Read More penguin love
Welcome to my crafty blog and our new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week it’s a colour palette and I’ve opted to use it with the cornflower, one of the new ‘wildflower’ stamps that ClarityCrafts have released as one of their returning Classics collection, picking up the layout from AAA Cards.
