Well here we are at Friday again and already over halfway through January already! I broke out a new set of stamps today that only dropped through my letterbox yesterday! I was delighted to win one of the prizes at CAS Colours & Sketches‘ 500th blog challenge – a stamp set of my choice from… Read More purrfect day
Welcome to my crafty blog. Barbara Gray showcased Clarity’s ‘townhouse’ products the other day, so I thought it was time my die came out for an airing (plus I needed a ‘new home’ card!). I took the lovely colour palette from Creative Colour Challenges and teamed it with the layout at Freshly Made Sketches, adding… Read More happy home
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is another outing for the ‘sweet citrus’ set from Stampin’ Up!, which is rapidly becoming one of my favourites. I’ve used it once again for the sketch at Atlantic Hearts, this time taking the colours from Global Design Project. I’m also sharing it at Can You Handle The Pressure, where… Read More have a zesty birthday
Hello there! I’m sharing another card today using one of the dandelions stamps from Clarity – they’ve just released a new three-way set of their abstract dandelions, but these are from the original set with individual dandelion stamps & a couple of patterned squares. I’ve taken a very loose interpretation of the sketch over at… Read More abstract dandelions
hello crafty friends. Here we are at the start of another week and I’ve got a last minute submission to a couple of challenge blogs, using the ‘beautifully happy’ stamp set that’s in the current Stampin’ Up! Saleabration. I’ve take the colours from Color Throwdown, the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and a scattering of… Read More beautifully happy hearts
Well it’s Sunday again, so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s Craft Club, this time to the ‘holly birds aperture’ die from November 2020. We’ve also got our first challenge of 2023 at Sparkles – it was my turn to choose the theme and I’ve gone with ‘friendship’. I thought these two birds were perfect to… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – holly birds
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card stars the floral envelope from Julie Hickey’s ‘sent with love’ stamp set. I thought of it when I saw the inspo list at Festive Friday challenge – it’s not really a new year card, but I picked up red, gold & envelope from the list. I also took… Read More sending floral love
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
