Hello there. I’ve got a very busy week with work commitments, but managed to grab a few minutes to get another Christmas card made ahead of the festive season. I’ve combined a couple of challenges with this one, taking the sketch from The Paper Players (which I’ve rotated) and the bottom row from TicTacToe‘s grid.… Read More Christmas berries
Hello there. I’ve got a sympathy card to share with you today, using the ferns stencil & dies designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs. I’ve actually used a technique I picked up from Hazel with the fern stencil as well, thanks to the current challenge at Just Add Ink (I’ve used foliage &… Read More sympathy ferns
Hello crafty friends. I’m now up to October 2021 for this week’s dip back into the Clarity Craft Club, which helpfully was this Christmas tree stamp – nice and timely for a bit more batch making! I decided to do something a bit different with the stamp, but first embossed a frame onto a square… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – Christmas tree
Welcome to my crafty blog. A friend of mine asked me to make a birthday card for her daughter, and this is it! I’ve used several of Julie Hickey’s stamps for this one, and based it on a card I made last year, although I’ve stepped it up a bit. (You can check out the… Read More floral heart

Hello there! A fairly quick card this evening, firmly back in my CAS comfort zone, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Eden’s garden’ set. I went with the colours from Global Design Project, which I thought would work with the ‘leaves’ theme from The Paper Players (I don’t have any scarecrows!) Now I’ve looked at The Paper Players’… Read More Eden’s greeting
Welcome to my crafty blog and a colourful rainbow to brighten your day. This is a great quote from Maya Angelou and I knew exactly which stamp to use when I saw it was the theme over at Time Out. I’ve teamed it with the colours from the inspiration photo at AAA cards, and their… Read More dotty rainbow
Hello there. It’s been a very solemn day in the UK with the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II taking place, and so I wanted a simple card that suited the mood. She was known to love life in the countryside, as well as being a committed Christian, so I went with a couple of… Read More peace within
Hello crfty frends. Sunday again, so here’s the next stamp from Clarity’s craft club last year – September’s ‘paisley’ image. I was looking at the inspiration photo at Inkspirational, and thought the paisley design would work on kraft card in place of the lace in the picture. I started by stamping the paisley pattern twice… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – paisley
