Welcome to my craft blog and our new theme at Sparkles challenges. I’m in my happy place with this one, as Helen has chose CAS (clean and simple) for this month. It gave me a good reason to play with my new little set of ‘celebrate your day flowers’ by Tina Cox for Clarity’s KISS… Read More Sparkles challenge – CAS
Welcome to my crafty blog! Today’s card features one of the ‘elegant ladies’ stencils from ClarityCrafts, which was already out on my desk from an earlier project. There’s a few more steps to this one than my usual creations (I think I’m just a lazy crafter at heart, which is why I love CAS designs!!)… Read More city girl!
Hello there! It’s Sunday again so it’s back into Clarity’s Craft Club – this week I’m playing with the ‘nested doily mandala’ from June 2021. I’ve pulled three challenges together onto this card. The layout is thanks to the sketch from TGIF and I incorporated the middle row of die cut, green & layers from… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – nested doily mandala
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with one of my favourite Clarity dies today – the ‘deerscape’. It’s great for masculine cards – I’d usually cut the die into black or dark brown card, but went with a kraft version this time inspired by the colours in The Card Concept‘s photo (the plants also made… Read More deerscape birthday
Hello there. Well, after yesterday’s dip back into Clarity’s Craft Club I’ve come right up to date with their latest stencil from last month. I took the colours from Just Us Girls and the ‘along the edge’ theme from AAA Cards I started by attaching the stencil to a strip of white card with low… Read More floral swirl

I thought it would work well with the sketch from Just Add Ink and incorporated the colour theme from Seize the Birthday, adding in grey as my third… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – patterned circles die
Hello there and welcome to my crafty blog. No daffodils today, instead it’s the ‘leafy swirl’ stencil and stamp from ClarityCrafts. I based the layout on the sketch at Atlantic Hearts, with the colour palette from Hand Stamped Sentiments I started by cutting an oval out of a piece of Clarity’s mask material, laid it… Read More leafy swirl for you
Hello there. I’m back with another spring card today, which I’ve realised essentially uses the same colours as yesterday – does that make me consistent or predictable?! This one has a bit of a different look though, thanks to the ‘linocut daisy’ stamp from ClarityCrafts. I’ve picked up the ‘spring time’ theme from Inspire.Create with… Read More linocut daisies
Hello there and welcome to my Sunday dip back into Clarity’s Craft Club, this time to the ‘frilly embellishment’ dies from April 2021. I thought the panel die would work for the layout at Freshly Made Sketches and added the colours from Color Throwdown in the little scene. I started with a piece of card… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – frilly embellishment die
It’s time for a new theme at Alphabet Challenge and the letter X (always a tricky one!) This time it’s XOXOXO or hugs & kisses – I’ve gone with a few of the smaller stamps from ClarityCrafts’ new KISS ‘just for you flowers’ set. I’m also sharing this with Festive Friday, having picked up three… Read More X for XOXOXO (hugs & kisses)
