Welcome to my crafty blog. I need a few more cards for weddings and anniversaries that are coming up, so thought I’d better make a start! I’ve been mulling on the current theme of ‘tropical’ from Time Out and remembered the ‘touch of ink’ set from Stampin’ Up!’s Saleabration last year, which has a humming… Read More together
Hello crafty friends, and welcome to another card featuring die cuts – it does seem to be becoming a bit of theme for me! I’ve gone back to the ‘friendship flower’ dies from Julie Hickey Designs for this card, inspired by a few of this week’s challenges. The layout picks up the new sketch from… Read More summer flowers
Hello there! I needed a new baby congratulations card today for a friend who’s got a new granddaughter, so headed for the ‘adorable baby’ set from Claritystamp – love this little romper suit! I’ve based my design on this week’s Global Design Project, where the challenge is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) Krista’s card.… Read More new baby
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another stamp that I picked up at Clarity’s Open Day – a brand new linocut set called ‘under the apple tree’. It’s such a lovely scene and perfect for The Paper Players‘ one layer clean and simple challenge. I thought the current colours over at Just Add Ink were… Read More under the apple tree
Hello crafty friends and welcome to Sunday’s dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club. I’m now up to November 2020 and the ‘winter’ stamps. I decided to just use the holly strip for a Christmas card, and stamped it twice in Archival ‘fern green’ across the front of an A6 card blank. I scored a couple… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – winter
Hello there. Today’s card uses one of the new stamps I got at Claritystamp’s Open Day last weekend – the ‘linocut daisy’ set. I thought it would work well with heat embossing, so decided to give that a go. I’ve taken the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the new colour combo of blue &… Read More linocut daisy
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge with F, and it’s my turn to host so I’ve chosen ‘friendship’. This sentiment from Julie Hickey Designs’ ‘positive wishes’ is just perfect, together with one of the floral sprays from her new ‘bouquet of blooms’ set. I’ve used the sketch from… Read More F for friendship
Welcome to my crafty blog and a very CAS one layer card. I was inspired by AAA cards challenge to just use 1 of the 9 rectangle areas on a card front with butterflies – all the design has to sit within the rectangle. I’ve teamed it up with the ‘dots’ theme from Addicted to… Read More butterflies
Welcome to my crafty blog and some exciting news! I’ve been invited to join the design team over at Sparkles challenges and this is my first contribution. My team-mate Vickie has chosen ‘things with wings’ as this month’s theme – I went for the biplane from an old Stampin’ Up! set ‘sky is the limit’.… Read More things with wings
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
