Hello crafty friends. It’s Good Friday today, when Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus so I felt I should share an appropriate card. I’ve used a really old image from Claritystamp that I’ve had for years- the stained glass Easter window, which I don’t think is available anymore. I took the layout for this from… Read More easter garden
Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for a new set from Stampin’ Up! – ‘waves of inspiration’. This is yet another card that I’ve not done any stamping on, but I’m sure I’ll be back to normal soon! I’ve used the sketch from Global Design Project today, and loosely based the design… Read More a great wave
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a very CAS birthday card using one of Claritystamp’s ‘city skylines’ masks – can you guess which one?! I took the inspiration for this from AAA Cards‘ current theme of ‘along the edge + your country’. The London skyline is a pretty iconic image for the UK. I started… Read More London on the edge
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another post with a card that is virtually all die-cutting (I don’t know what’s got into me!) I’d been pondering on the sketch over at TGIF challenges and then realised it would work with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘windmill’ and ‘tulips’ dies, especially in the pretty spring colours from The Paper… Read More a windmill for you
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a birthday card for my niece, who’s off to Paris with her sister this week to celebrate. I thought the colours from Just Add Ink were perfect for a French themed card, and the sketch from Fusion Card Challenge (which I rotated) worked well with Claritystamp’s Paris aperture die.… Read More Paris or die!
Welcome to my crafty blog and the next in my weekly re-visit of Claritystamp’s craft club. Today it’s the ‘with love banner’ from Februay 2020 – I have to confess that I really wasn’t very taken with this at the time, but I think I’ve now found a good way to use it. I started… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – with love banner
Hello there! I’m back with a second card today, this time using the stencil from Claritystamp’s March Craft Club. I’ve used the colour scheme from this weeks challenge at Color Throwdown and the left hand column of white, wedding & die cut from TicTacToe‘s grid as the basis for my design I started with a… Read More wedding butterfly
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve had a lovely afternoon, crafting virtually with my sister – we are both in Claritystamp’s Craft Club so got busy with our March goodies. I love how we can both use the same stamp and yet come up with very different cards – read on for the one I… Read More keep growing, keep going
Hello there. Well it’s time for a new letter over at Alphabet Challenge and we’re back at the start again with A. This week Meg has chosen ‘animal antics’ – I’ve gone with the ‘counting sheep’ set from Stampin’ Up!, which I got in the Saleabration last year. I’ve actually CASE’d a card I saw… Read More A is for animal antics
Welcome to my crafty blog, and an Easter egg with a bit of a difference. I’ve had Claritystamp’s ‘chicks and eggs’ set for a little while and felt it really ought to come out of it’s packet! It’s ideal for this week’s challenge theme of ‘egg’ over at Just Us Girls – I also picked… Read More floral egg
