For the last couple of years I’ve spent the 12 Days of Christmas working back through the latest stamps from Clarity’s Craft Club, so welcome to the 2022 installment of my 12 Days of Clarity. I’ve started back in January 2022 with the… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2022 – snowdrop
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m a bit late posting today as I’ve been getting all the last few things finished for Christmas, but then remembered that I still hadn’t made a card for my father-in-law’s birthday – which is tomorrow! He’ll be 97 and I thought he might like a new jumper courtesy of… Read More birthday jumper
Hello crafty friends. I’m trying to make some time over Christmas to play with some of the new goodies I’ve had over the last couple of months and not had time to try out. I’ve gone with one of the new ‘build a scene’ masks from Clarity as the basis of this card, taking the… Read More build-a-scene masks
Hello crafty friends. Today’s dip back into Clarity’s craft club took me to the ‘bird in hand’ die from September 2020. This is another one that I haven’t used much, but it’s such a great image it really needs sharing a bit more. I decided to go with the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments for… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – bird in hand die
Hello there and welcome to our new challenge at Sparkles. Angela has chosen ‘gnome home for the holidays’ as our theme this month, so Clarity’s ‘letterbox gnomes’ got to come out and play one more time! I started with the holly stencil from Clarity’s ‘christmas rounds’ set and laid it over the front of a… Read More Sparkles challenge – gnome home for the holidays
Welcome to my crafty blog and a card that I’m still in two minds about! I decided to use Clarity’s ‘Jayne’s winter scene – church’ for this card based on the sketch from TGIF challenges (which I rotated), picking up the top row from TicTacToe‘s grid. I started by creating an inky background. I’m really… Read More Christmas blessings
Hello there! Sunday again so I’ve been back to my Clarity craft club stash for the ‘hemlock aperture’ die from August 2020. I strated with a strip of white card and cut the hemlock die into it. I trimmed a piece of Clarity’s ‘Waimea Falls’ designer card to fit an A6 card black and glued… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – hemlock die
Hello crafty friends. I’ve stepped away from Christmas cards today and and sharing a birthday card with us, using the ‘funky happy birthday’ set from Clarity – I really like these doodled letters. I decided to keep it simple and let the design speak for itself, using the colours from CAS Colours & Sketches I… Read More doodle birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card with no ink or stamping on it (not my usual style!) I thought of Clarity’s Santa round aperture die when I saw the theme at The Paper Players and it works really well for the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. Inkspirational‘s theme of paper piecing was also… Read More paper pieced Santa
Welcome to my crafty blog and another last minute challenge offering. Just Add Ink‘s theme is to ‘choose two’ and it probably doesn’t need explaining that I went for deer & trees! I’m also linking it up with Time Out‘s ‘winter’ challenge I’ve used the Clarity ‘riverside landscape reflection’ masks, starting with a piece of… Read More wintery morning
