Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a last minute offering for Color Throwdown – I thought their colours would be perfect for a countryside scene using one of Claritystamp’s ‘room with a view’ aperture dies. This one is set 1 ‘sunshine’. The first step was to cut the die into the forn of a 6×6… Read More sunny day
Heoo there! Well, it’s Sunday again so back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club, this time to May 2021 and the ‘wicker texture’ abstract stamp.

Hello there. Today’s card picks up a couple of challenges that feature favourite things. TGIF‘s new theme is exactly that, and I’ve just got time to get this card entered into Inkspirational‘s ‘favourite monochrome’ challenge as well.

Hello there. Well it’s been another scorching day here in the South East of England – the hottest ever recorded!

This is essentially a one layer card using Claritystamps, although… Read More decorating the tree

These two cards were made with the ‘thinking of you panels’ stamps – a great set to make borders & frames with. I’ve used the new colours… Read More read & dream
Welcome – it’s time for a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge! We’re up to H and Veronika has opted for ‘holidays’ as our theme. Now this can mean different things – Christmas or a vacation. I’ve tried to combine both with this stamp from Claritystamp, which made me think of skiing holidays as… Read More H for holidays
Welcome to my crafty blog. I needed a card for a friend who’s just had a baby girl, and was inspired by Just Us Girls‘ challenge of creating a rocker card – it seemed very appropriate. I’ve never made one of these before – there are loads of videos on YouTube and it’s very easy!… Read More baby rocker
Welcome to my crafty blog and my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club. I’m now up to March 2021, which was the ‘reeds & insects’ stamp set. I started by stamping the reeds onto a small square of card using ‘potting soil’ Archival ink. I added a sun using a small circle mask and… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – reeds & insects
Hello there. Bit of a sporty theme to today’s card. A friend asked me to make one for her son’s birthday – he’s a big fan of Formula 1 and follows the Mercedes team.
