Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing today with another of the goodies from September’s Clarity Craft Club – this time the stencil (#136 square framework). I said the other day that I need to make better use of my stencils stash, so this is a good start. It’s a great background and I built a… Read More Clarity Craft Club stencil #136 – square framework
Hello crafty friends! I make no apologies as I’m back yet again with Clarity’s Summer Build a Wreath stamps, this time with a birthday card. I blame Just Us Girls as their moodboard immediately made me reach for this set again, together with the ‘summer birthday’ theme at AAA Birthday and a final offering for… Read More summer birthday wreath
Hello crafty friends. My goodies from the May Clarity Craft Club dropped through the door last week and I realised at that point that April’s stamp still hadn’t seen ink, so now was the time to rectify that! I’ve kept it CAS (clean & simple) on this one (you know it’s my favourite style!), picking… Read More Clarity Craft Club Spring floral round

Hello there! I’m still working my way through products from Clarity’s Craft Club, inspired by the current sale of back issues. I’ve got another stencil from the club today – the ‘simple rose’ #109. I always used to struggle with frameless stencils, but they are just brilliant to use on gel plates, so that’s what… Read More simple rose stencil
Hello everyone – I hope your weekend is going well. I’ve got a bit of a throwback with today’s card, as I’m using up another of the watercolour backgrounds we created at ClarityCrafts‘ summer retreat last year. As usual, I failed to write the colours on the back of this piece but, having compared it… Read More watercolour background

Hello there. I’m back with another look at one of my demos from Saturday’s shows, using the trio of candles stamp from Clarity Crafts‘ new ‘Tina’s bijou retro’ stamp set.
