Hello crsfty friends. I’m back in my happy place today with this CAS card using one of my favourite sets from Claritystamp – the ‘birdhouse garden’. I immediately thought of the fab little cat when I saw the ‘feline’ theme from Addicted to CAS. He also fits Just Us Girls‘ word week, ‘lucky’, which is… Read More lucky to know you
Hello crafty friends and welcome to my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club. This ‘ornate frame’ stamp is from October 2018, and I decided to use it to create a little scene with some of the ‘garden’ stamp set. I started with a square of white card and stamped the frame in the centre… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – ornate frame
Hello crafty friends. Well I’m trying to keep up with my ambition to make a few Christmas cards each month, so it’s not such a rush in the autumn. I’m probably not making as much progress with that as I’d hoped, so today’s card takes me one step further. I’ve used Claritystamp’s ‘nativity miniatures’ stamp… Read More snowflake peace
Welcome to my crafty blog and another die cut from Claritystamp. I’ve gone for paper piecing with this one, rather than ink blending – I love the way you can get such a different look with these aperture dies just by varying the technique. This card was inspired by the challenge photo at Fusion, and… Read More colourful birds
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s craft club. This week, I’m back to September 2018 and the ‘willow tree’ stamp. Now, I often comment that I hadn’t used the club stamps until now, however I did have a good excuse back then for not using this one – I… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – willow tree #143
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another card ready for Mother’s Day next month. This time I’ve used Claritystamp’s ‘leafy swirl’ aperture die, with the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown. I took the layout from the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, plus one of my favourite techniques (blending brushes) thanks to TGIF challenges… Read More leafy swirl
Welcome to my crafty blog. I started working on this card earlier today and, as is so often the case for me, it kept evolving as I went along! I’d decided to try to make a card that’s a bit more ‘grungy’ (not my usual style, as you’ll know), using the colours from Just Us… Read More make art not war
Welcome to my crafty blog and a clean and simple birthday card. I haven’t used the ‘birthday dangles’ set from Claritystamp for some time, so thought it deserved an outing! It’s such a great image that it really stands on it’s own without a lot of other embellishment. I thought it would work perfectly for… Read More birthday!
Welcome to my crafty blog and my regular Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s craft club. By coincidence, it’s another cupcake (after the card I made earlier this week) and this time I’ve gone for chocolate and cherry flavour (one of my favourite combinations!) thanks to the colour palette at CAS Colours and Sketches. I’ve paired… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – cupcake #142
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been thinking about my mum quite a bit recently as I’ve started making Mother’s Day cards. She sadly died nearly 4 years ago – this card was especially poignant as daffodils were her favourite flower, so this one’s in memory of her. I took the colours from this week’s… Read More Mum’s daffodil
