I’m back with a second post today for our new challenge at As You See It. This time it’s a sketch designed by Jane, and right up my street for a CAS card. I decided to create a blended and stamped panel on my card, so the first thing was to mask off a strip… Read More celtic benediction for As You See It challenge
It’s Friday again and there’s a new letter over at Alphabet Challenge. We’re now on to ‘U’ and Meg has opted for ‘under the weather’ (or get well). My card is on a slight tangent, using the new ‘sweet citrus’ set from Stampin’ Up!, but lots of people recommend hot lemon drinks when you’re feeling… Read More U for under the weather at Alphabet Challenge
Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for a die that I’m ashamed to say has sat in my stash for some time now! I decided it would work well for the current challenge at Global Design Project, where the task is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the card designed by Connie.… Read More dandelions die cut
I’m back to the ‘adorable owls’ stamps that are available in the current Stampin’ Up! Saleabration for today’s card – I thought they would work really well to welcome my friends’ new baby. I picked up the tag theme from The Paper Players as well – it’s only small, but then so is a baby!… Read More baby owls
Hello crafty friends. I decided to play with the ‘floral forest’ stamp from Clarity – it’s been in my stash for a while and not emerged for some time! I picked up the colour palette from CAS Colours & Sketches and the ‘romantic’ theme from Time Out for this card. The ‘floral forest’ is a… Read More your heart and my heart
Welcome to my crafty blog! I do love mixing old and new stamps & dies, and today’s card does that perfectly. It’s the perfect time of year for a cup of hot chocolate, and I couldn’t resist the photo at Inspired by, deciding to give it a bit of a contemporary twist with the colours… Read More whipped cream
Hello crafty friends. Well, after a little detour over Christmas I’m back into my regular Sunday dip into back issues of Clarity’s Craft Club. Today it’s the ‘leafy stag’ die from October 2020. I started with the background and brayered ‘broken china’ & ‘chipped sapphire’ Distress Oxides onto the large ‘dots and spots’ grunge background… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – leafy stag die
Welcome to my crafty blog. It felt a bit strange today not to be working back through Clarity Craft Club stamps – instead I’ve leapt forwards to a brand new set from Stampin’ Up! that you can get through the current Saleabration that’s just launched (it’s available free when you spend £45). Lots of blog… Read More adorable owls
Hello there and welcome to the last of my 12 Days of Clarity challenge to close the 12 days of Christmas. The ‘Happy New Year’ stamps from December’s Craft Club arrived just before Christmas and I’ve only just got round to playing with them. I started by cutting one of the circle ‘frame-it aperture’ dies… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2022 – Happy New Year
Welcome to Day 11 of my 12 Days of Clarity challenge – we’re nearly there! November’s Craft Club stamp was actually an autumn wreath, but I’ve turned it into a Christmas card just by using different colours. I started by stamping the wreath with WOW clear ink, then heat embossed it with superfine gold metallic… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2022 – wreath
