Hello crafty friends. Well this week’s dip back into Clarity’s craft club took me to the leafy aperture die from July 2020. I decided to do a bit of trimming on the die cut to create a frame – I first cut it into a square of SU’s ‘evening evergreen’ card and then used my… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – leafy aperture die
Welcome to my second post today and the new challenge at As You See It. It’s a speed challenge this time, so the card needs to be made in less than 10 minutes! My design team card looks a lot more complicated than it actually was… I opted to use one of the ‘bijou joy… Read More Speedy Christmas bauble for As You See It challenge
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card pulls a few blog challenges together, using an old nativity scene stamp from Clarity Crafts, together with one of their ‘frame-it’ dies.

Hello crafty friends. I’m back to Christmas cards today, this time a card for a friend to give her son & his girlfriend using the ‘Christmas jumper’ stamp set from Clarity.

TGIF challenges have also got a gnome theme this week, and I reflected… Read More joyful gnomes
Hello crafty friends. Well, I’m continuing the poinsettia theme today, but without using a poinsettia stamp or die on this card! My Sunday dip back into Clarity’s craft club reached May 2020, which was a mandala die. When I looked at it, I thought I could turn it into a poinsettia style design and get… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – mandala die
Welcome to my crafty blog and something a bit different for me. I generally just make cards, but our new challenge at Sparkles is to use a die or punch and for once I thought Christmas treat boxes would fit the bill. I used the ‘mini cube box’ from Clarity’s craft club earlier this year… Read More Sparkles challenge – die or punch
Hello there. I’m back with a second card today, moving from the old to the new with the latest stamp from Clarity’s craft club.

Welcome to my crafty blog and another dip back into Clarity’s craft club. Today, it’s the turn of the ‘countryside aperture die’ from April 2020, which is perfect for masculine cards.
