Hello everyone! Well, today was the big day – my first live TV shows demonstrating for Clarity Crafts on Create & Craft TV! Such an intense experience – the hour long shows just fly by (I may have to watch them back online on catch-up, as it’s all a bit of a blur), but huge thanks to… Read More buttercup doodles
Hello there. It’s Friday again and time for a new challenge at As You See It. It’s a colour theme this time, which was perfect for one of the new ‘floral panel’ stamp sets from ClarityCrafts that will be launching tomorrow (more of that in a minute…) I started by sponging ‘scattered straw’ Distress Ink around the… Read More As You See It challenge – floral heart colours
Hello crafty friends – I’m back after being missing for a couple of days. Today’s card uses the summer set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Linda’s bijou children through the seasons’.

Welcome to my crafty blog and the new theme of U for Under Something at Alphabet Challenge, which Melanie has challenged us with. Having spent far too long rummaging through my stash looking for inspiration, I settled on one of the ‘wee folk’ stamps from ClarityCrafts – she’s walking under the trees with her dog. The colours… Read More U for Under Something at Alphabet Challenge
Hello there, and welcome to another of my cards using the fab new ‘retro bubbles’ stamps from ClarityCrafts (can you tell that I rather like these?!) I’m sharing this creation with AAA Cards, having taken a slightly loose interpretation of their sketch! So, I started by stamping the large panel of circles along the edge of… Read More retro birthday bubbles
Hello crafty friends. I’m still working through my design team samples from Sunday’s launch of ‘Tina’s retro stamps’ from ClarityCrafts, this time combining two of the sets, ‘retro candles’ & ‘retro stars’. I thought it would work well as a second offering for the ‘cheers to the years’ theme at The Paper Players The first step was… Read More celebrate with retro candles
