Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m a bit late posting today, so this will just be a quick one. I’ve used Stampin’ Up!’s ‘forever ferns’ set with the colour scheme from Color Throwdown and the layout from Freshly Made Sketches I stamped the leaves and berries from the set across the bottom corner of a… Read More you always have a way
Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card today. I haven’t shared any Christmas ones for a little while, so thought I’d better crack on with a few more. This card uses Julie Hickey’s ‘oh Christmas tree’ stamp, inspired by the current challenge over at Inspired by (!) I’ve taken a bit of a… Read More oh Christmas tree!
Welcome to my crafty blog and another rare occasion when there is no stamping at all on my card! I was inspired by the theme over at Just Add Ink to use one of Claritystamp’s ‘skyscape’ dies – I went with New York which is so iconic. I started with a black 5×5 card blank… Read More new york sunrise
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the ‘friendship flower’ stamp set by Julie Hickey and the layout sketch from Fusion card challenge.

Having said… Read More celebrate your day
Welcome my crafty blog. Today’s card uses one of the Claritystamp ‘floral frame’ dies, which I thought was due an outing – as you know, I generally do more stamping and don’t often use die cuts as the main focus on my card. I’ve taken the layout from this week’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenge,… Read More floral frames
Welcome to my crafty blog and a card with a new stamp set that arrived earlier this week – Stampin’ Up!’s ‘delicate dahlias’. I’ve been using quite a few of my older sets recently after tidying my craft shelves, so thought I’d ring the changes with this one. I took the layout from the current… Read More dahlias
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is a return to one of my favourite sets – the retired ‘beautiful friendship’ from Stampin’ Up! This time I’ve chosen to just use the lilac flowers from the set, inspired by the photo at Just Us Girls. I’ve teamed it up with Joanne’s sketch from The Paper… Read More lilac birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog and something a little different with an autumn theme today. I seem to have produced quite a few cards with leafy themes recently, but wanted to combine the current challenges from Addicted to CAS and CASology I hadn’t used the die from last month’s Clarity Club, which is a butterfly… Read More an autumn butterfly
