Hello everyone. I’ve got a busy blog day today, starting this morning with our new challenge at Alphabet, where we’ve reached the letter O. Helen has given us a double theme this time round – we’re looking for Ovals and One-word sentiments. I took the opportunity to give Clarity’s new 5×5 Festive Leafy BOW-WOB papers… Read More O for Oval at Alphabet Challenge
Hello everyone! Another late post from me today – life is just so busy in the run-up to Christmas. ClarityCrafts have been celebrating their Year of the Alphabet in 2024 and are rounding it off with a sale on all their alphabet sets (what’s not to like…?!) I’ve kicked off today with their ‘wood block… Read More wood block alphabet
Hello friends. I’m here with another of the cards I didn’t get to share on yesterday’s shows, using the KISS (Keep It Sinple Stamping) ‘colour me rounds’ stamps from ClarityCrafts, which picks up the gorgeous tones from the inspiration picture at Color Dare. I based the layout on a card by Linda Spencer, another of… Read More Noel colour-me-round
Hello there! Well I had two great shows today on Create and Craft (if you missed them, you can watch on catch-up via the website) showcasing the new ‘Christmas Elements’ collection designed by Tina Cox for ClarityCrafts. I thought I’d share one of my demos with you as well, before I wend my way home.… Read More SNOW-man
I’m back to the ‘adorable owls’ stamps that are available in the current Stampin’ Up! Saleabration for today’s card – I thought they would work really well to welcome my friends’ new baby. I picked up the tag theme from The Paper Players as well – it’s only small, but then so is a baby!… Read More baby owls
Happy New Year, crafty friends! We’re starting 2023 with a new challenge over at Love to Craft and as always the theme is ‘anything goes’. A friend asked me to make a birthday card for her daughter-in-law and I built the design around Clarity’s ‘happy birthday floral frame’ die. I started by cutting the die… Read More floral frame birthday
I thought I’d share a card today that I was asked to make for someone celebrating their 80th birthday. I’ve used Julie Hickey’s ‘beautiful blooms’ dies again but this time, rather than the small graphic daisies, I’ve gone for the larger flowers. I used the sketch from Global Design Project and the new 2022 Stampin’… Read More 80th birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using one of the new stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘floral blooms’. It’s personalised, as my son wanted a card to give a colleague who’s retiring from work. I’m rubbish at starting from a blank card, so took inspiration from a couple of designs… Read More pink blooms
Hello crafty friends. It’s day 5 of my 12 Dies of Clarity challenge so today I have the ‘patterned circles’ die from May’s Clarity Craft Club. I really liked this when it arrived, but have to confess I hadn’t used it so far (how many crafters say that…?!). I was only going to make one… Read More 12 dies of Clarity day 5 – patterned circles
Welcome to my crafty blog and a quick post this evening for two reasons – first because I’m very late sharing this, and secondly because I forgot to take photos during the process! And it’s only Monday…! I’m playing along with two of this week’s challenges with this card. The layout is courtesy of the… Read More happy feathers!
