Hello crafty friends. Well it’s Sunday again, so time for the next installment in my personal challenge of working back through my Claritystamp new design club issues. This week it’s the ‘girl on a swing’ silhouette stamp from August 2017. I’ve teamed it with the small round backdrop stamp – these are great for creating… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – girl on a swing #130
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a masculine one, using Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ aperture die. I love the way this cuts the scene into the card – I’ve got the matching stamp as well (I am a stamper at heart) but this die gives such a brilliant sharp outline. I’ve taken inspiration for this one from… Read More amazing day
Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a lovely day today visiting a local Christmas craft fair with a friend, which has cleared my head after spending the last four days in online meetings and barely leaving the house! Even though it’s been a grey and damp day it felt so good to be properly out in… Read More madonna
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time using a couple of Clarity stamps that I’ve had for years (from back when they came pre-mounted onto Clarity’s curved handles). They have several of these framer word stamps, although I’m not sure that this is still available. I might have got a bit… Read More nativity joy
Hello crafty friends. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into the Claritystamp new design club – this time for the ‘we go together…’ sentiment from July 2017. I’ve picked up the theme and sketch from this week’s challenge at Inspired by (this sentiment definitely says ‘friendship’ to me), together with the centre row… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – we go together #129
Hello crafty friends. It’s Friday and we’ve got the next letter in our Alphabet Challenge – we’re now up to ‘P’ and Caz has challenged us to include patterned paper on out cards. I’ve gone for more of an abstract look on mine, rather than a regular pattern, with a piece of the ‘Amazonia’ paper… Read More P for patterned paper
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another late post. On the upside, I’ve had a lovely day having lunch with friends., so I’m not complaining! I grabbed some time for a quick play with a new Christmas stamp set from Clarity – the ‘Clarity Charity Trees’. I decided it was perfect for a (fairly) simple… Read More Words Christmas tree
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another late evening blog. I just can’t seem to get myself organised to share my cards earlier in the day! Today’s card uses one of the Christmas rounds dies from Claritystamp – I bought it last year and hadn’t used it so far so it definitely deserved an outing!… Read More Christmas Santa
Hello crafty friends and welcome to the next installment in my journey back through Clarity’s new design club. This week it’s the ‘seedlings’ stamp from June 2017 with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches. I’ve also taken inspiration from The Card Concept – I’ve used their colour palette for the CAS (clean and simple) card,… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – seedlings #128
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been having a quick play this evening after another day spent online in a work meeting – it’s so nice to step away from it all and just create something. Barbara Gray from Claritystamp was on The Craft Store today – I’ve just been watching her on catch-up and got inspired… Read More What is this life…
