Welcome to my crafty blog and our new theme at Alphabet Challenge. This time it’s W and we want to see cards that feature water. I went with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘waves of inspiration’ set (although there’s no waves in evidence, I admit!), taking inspiration from the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. I used the sketch outline… Read More W for Water at Alphabet Challenge
Hello crafty friends. Today’s dip back into Clarity’s craft club took me to the ‘bird in hand’ die from September 2020. This is another one that I haven’t used much, but it’s such a great image it really needs sharing a bit more. I decided to go with the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments for… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – bird in hand die
Hello crafty friends. After using brand new stamps in my last two posts, I’m back with some old favourites today from Clarity Crafts. I’ve picked up a couple of challenges for this card, using the sketch from Global Design Project and the ‘thankful’ theme from Time Out I started with an A6 card blank and… Read More thankful blackbird
Hello crafty friends. Well, it’s Sunday again so here’s my next dip back into Claritystamp’s craft club – I’m now up to April 2020 and the ‘marvellous macaw’ stamp. I used this little fellow in my end of year trip back through the craft club for 2020, but he hasn’t been out again since. You… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – marvellous macaw
Hello crsafty friends. I’m back today with a card using the ‘friendly hello’ stamp set that I got in the last Stampin’ Up! Saleabration and so far hadn’t opened! I thought it would work well with the challenge from Inspire Create, who’ve asked us to CASE the card by Kate on their design team, together… Read More best birthday
Hello crafty friends. Well, it’s Sunday so time for another lookback into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club, and this time it’s to December 2018 for the ‘cuckoo clock’ (and cuckoo!). This is the end of a chapter really – I’d broken my shoulder a few months earlier and so hadn’t been doing much crafting. I’d got… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – cuckoo clock
Hello crsfty friends. I’m back in my happy place today with this CAS card using one of my favourite sets from Claritystamp – the ‘birdhouse garden’. I immediately thought of the fab little cat when I saw the ‘feline’ theme from Addicted to CAS. He also fits Just Us Girls‘ word week, ‘lucky’, which is… Read More lucky to know you
Hello crafty friends and welcome to my weekly dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club (formerly their new design club). This week I’ve reached the ‘jay bird’ stamp from October 2017 (another one that I have to confess hasn’t seen action until now!) I started with Clarity’s ‘treescape’ stencil on a strip of white card and… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – jay bird
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a second post today (I’m really getting back into the blogging groove now!) It’s Sunday and so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s new design club again, this time for the heron stamp from March 2017. I have to confess, this is another that’s pushed my out of my comfort… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – heron #125
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses this happy little bird and leafy swag from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘quite curvy’ stamp set and dies – I’ve decided he’s obviously singing out to welcome the start of spring, which is definitely showing signs of appearing here in the UK. I’ve taken inspiration for this card from… Read More singing for spring
