Hello crafty friends. I’m experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance today because, although I committed to making a Christmas card every week at the beginning of this year, it feels rather bizarre to be sharing one on Easter Saturday! Anyway, here we are with our next challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and it’s a… Read More April’s sketch at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown 26-13
Hello there. I’ve got a card for you today using the ‘caravan’ stamp from last February’s Clarity Craft Club as part of my little series working through the 2025 Club stamps. It’s a bit of a change from my usual CAS style – very full-on for me with an easel card base and die cut… Read More Clarity Craft Club 2025 lookback – February
Hello everyone – how are your final Christmas preparations going? I’ve been wrapping the last of the presents today and then I’m all set. I grabbed a bit of time to play with the latest stencil from Clarity’s Craft Club, which is a fab little Christmas cottage scene. I wanted to create a snowy scene… Read More Clarity Craft Club – Christmas cottage stencil
Hello crafty friends. Well, after the new goodies I’ve been playing with over the last few days, I took a turn on today’s little creation and dipped back into the Craft Club for the ‘wrapped in lace’ stamp (#205) from November 2023.

So welcome to their last… Read More Joining Addicted to Stamps & More at Christmas!

Hello friends! I’ve got a quick break between my Clarity Social TV shows, so dropped in to share the final demo from my 10am show which was a bit rushed! I used the silhouettes set from Linda’s Floral Rounds for this card, turning them into a couple of Christmas baubles hanging from the leafy strip… Read More ivy baubles
Hello everyone. I’ve been busy prepping demos today, as I’m back on Clarity Social TV tomorrow (Friday) with a brand new collection of stamps – Linda’s Floral Rounds. It’s been a while, as I haven’t done a show since before I went off travelling in Australia, so I’m looking forward to an exciting day. I… Read More Linda’s floral rounds
Hello crafty friends. I’m still in major Christmas card production mode and took some time at the weekend to make a batch with one of Clarity’s Christmas Windows stamps. It gave me good excuse to also use up some of my offcuts of Antarctica designer paper stored in my folder. I simply stamped the image… Read More Madonna window stamp
Hello there. My Christmas card production is stepping up now and I’ve dipped back into my stash for another fab set from Clarity – the Elf Billboards stamps which come with matching dies (and there’s a seriously good offer on them in the current Clarity sale until Midnight on Sunday!).
