Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with more of my Claritystamp designer papers today, this time pairing them with the ‘Hot Air Balloon’ stamp set.

Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday, so I’m on to the next stamp in my lookback through the Claritystamp new design club – today it’s #92, the ‘row of trees’ from June 2014. I’ve used this one a few times over the years – I love its clean lines. I decided to use it… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – row of trees #92
Welcome to my crafty blog. A bit of a change from my usual style today – although not too far out of my comfort zone. I’ve gone for what Barbara Gray calls ‘clean grunge’, after watching the launch of Clarity’s new ‘grunge elements’ stamp sets on TV yesterday. I thought I’d have a go at… Read More ‘clean’ grunge!

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been doing a spot of crafty gardening today with this card – have to confess that I’m not a big gardener, although several of my friends are.

My new ‘city skylines’ masks from Claritystamp arrived last week and I wanted to do some more cards using the ‘riverside landscape reflection’ set as well, so you’ve got a two-for-one offer today on this little blog. Let’s… Read More more masking!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Sundays mean another installment in my lookback through Claritystamp’s new design club, and today I’m using #91, the pocket stamp from May 2014. I went back to Barbara Gray’s project sheet for a bit of inspiration with this one, but then stepped it up a bit further (back copies of… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – pocket #91
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with the new ‘butterflies and moths’ stamps designed by Cherry Green for Claritystamp. Barbara Gray did a brilliant online step by step yesterday for the monthly Moment of Clarity, and I didn’t want to put them away afterwards! I’ve used a combination of the Clarity designer paper… Read More 3D butterflies
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back in my comfortable place with today’s card and some stamping and ink blending, after yesterday’s adventure into vintage. I love this ‘butterfly tree’ from Claritystamp, and have used one of my new words stickers from them as well.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I bought some new stamps in the Claritystamp sale a couple of months ago and thought I really should give them an airing, so today’s card uses a couple of them. The background is done with the ‘harlequin’ stamp and the flower is from the ‘snowdrop doodle round’ set. I… Read More snowdrop thoughts
