Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s a bank holiday in the UK today, and for once the sun is shining brightly (most Brits will tell you it usually rains on a bank holiday!) My crafting buddy came round for lunch today and it was so lovely to be able to sit outside and eat. We… Read More balloon flight
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m now up to October 2014 and the ‘live laugh love’ sentiment stamp in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club. This is a great sentiment for engagement or wedding cards, or just to send someone an uplifting message. IT’s a bit more of a grungy style than I… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – live laugh love #95
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is not my usual style – there’s very little stamping on it, just die cuts and designer paper. The main central feature is one of the fab round floral aperture dies from Claritystamp – this one is ‘periwinkle and friends’. I teamed it with a piece of paper… Read More framed florals
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another card using a stamp I’ve had in my stash for a few years – it’s part of the ‘funky foliage’ set from Claritystamp. I love the design, which has echoes of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The layout was inspired by this week’s sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches –… Read More Funky foliage
Well here we are on the final day of my ’12 Days of Clarity’ challenge! Am feeling very chuffed that I made it right through – it seemed like a good idea to keep me occupied over the Christmas period (and stop me eating all the biscuits!) and I’ve really enjoyed it, but it has… Read More 12 Days of Clarity – day 12 December’s ‘winter’ stamp
I’m back again, this time with day 9 of my ’12 Dies of Clarity’ challenge, using ‘a bird in the hand’ aperture die that was September’s New Design Club from Claritystamp. This is yet another one that I haven’t used until now, and I was again grateful for the project sheet which had some design… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity – day 9 September’s ‘a bird in the hand’ aperture
So I’m back with two cards made from the April die in Claritystamp’s 2020 New Design Club – the countryside aperture. This is one die from the 2020 club that I have actually used previously (makes me feel a bit better!) I blogged it back in September – you can find it in my previous… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity – day 4 April ‘countryside’ aperture
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s a card I made using an offcut piece of the Claritystamp ‘Antarctica’ designer paper, and one of the ‘Tina’s summer layering squares’ stamps. I had a quick look at blue flowers online, as I’m hopeless at identifying most species (obviously I can spot a rose or a daffodil!). These… Read More Blue flowers
