Hello crafty friends – yes it’s another Christmas card today! I’m using Julie Hickey’s ‘poinsettia’ stamp & die set for the first time this year (hopefully not the last!) It struck me as perfect for the theme of ‘bright and bold’ at this week’s Inspire.Create challenge, as well as Addicted to CAS‘s request for cards… Read More bright & bold poinsettia
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time using a couple of Clarity stamps that I’ve had for years (from back when they came pre-mounted onto Clarity’s curved handles).

Evening everyone and welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time inspired by the challenge at AAA cards. A ‘twinchie’ is a 2 inch square with all the card design contained within it – I haven’t done one of these before and it took a bit of thinking about! I… Read More Noel holly
Welcome to my crafty blog on another sweltering hot day here in the UK! I sat in the garden to eat my lunch, but got too hot so have come back indoors. I didn’t see many bees around either – they’re clearly all looking for flowers that are nicely in the shade! Today’s card uses… Read More sunshine and happiness
Welcome to my crafty blog. Now as all good crafters know, Christmas starts in July so I’m getting organised this year and here’s the first of my offerings!
