Hello crafty friends and welcome to our new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. It’s time for sketch this time round – I rotated it, as one of the new ‘Tina’s bijou retro stamps’ from Clarity Crafts was the perfect shape! I decided to also pick up the tones from the moodboard at Just Us… Read More Craft Colours & Sketches 537 – sketch
Welcome to my crafty blog and my guest designer offering for the next challenge at Seize the Birthday, where the ‘topping’ is to produce a coordinating tag & card. I thought the new ‘nested circle foliage doodle frame-it panel’ dies that ClarityCrafts launched this week would be ideal, especially for making the tag. I’m also… Read More Seize the Birthday – tag and card combo
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a bit of an alternative take to all the pink hearts for Valentine’s Day. I love the little tandem bike from ClarityCrafts new ‘wee transport’ sets and thought it was ideal to go with the couple on the bench from the ‘wee folk 1’ set. I’m going to share this with… Read More a bicycle built for two
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with one of my favourite ClarityCrafts stamps today – ‘Tina’s floral spray’. I’ve wound up with an autumnal feel on this card as I picked up the palette from Color Throwdown and the layout from Freshly Made Sketches I started with a piece of the Amazonia designer paper, which had… Read More autumn floral spray
Sunday again already? The weeks are just going by at speed, so here’s the next installment in my dips back into ClarityCrafts Craft Club.

It’s such a great modern design though, I decided not to make… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – abstract snowflake die
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for our next theme at Sparkles challenges and Helen has opted for ‘no stamping’ on our creations! Now you know this is always a stretch for me (I am most definitely a stamper at heart), but fortunately one of ClarityCrafts‘ Fresh Cut Dies came to the rescue. I love the… Read More no stamping for Sparkles challenge
Hello crafty friends. It’s Friday and we’ve got the next letter in our Alphabet Challenge – we’re now up to ‘P’ and Caz has challenged us to include patterned paper on out cards. I’ve gone for more of an abstract look on mine, rather than a regular pattern, with a piece of the ‘Amazonia’ paper… Read More P for patterned paper
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. I’ve been playing with more of my Claritystamp designer papers today, this time pairing them with the ‘Hot Air Balloon’ stamp set. My starting point for this card was the current theme of ‘float’ over at Just Us Girls , and I then went to the sketches at Global Design… Read More Up, up and away!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s the next installment in my lookback through the Claritystamp new design club and today it’s #80, the lovebirds from June 2013. I’ve realised that this is the second day in a row that I’ve pencil coloured birds – clearly Barbara Gray has had a bigger impact on me than… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – lovebirds #80
