Hello there. My new ‘floral delights’ stamps from ClarityCrafts arrived this week, so I made a start on playing with them – well, it would be rude not to! I thought the ‘thinking of you’ set would work well with this week’s colours at Global Design Project and picked up the top row of foliage,… Read More birthday foliage
Welcome to my crafty blog! Today’s card features one of the ‘elegant ladies’ stencils from ClarityCrafts, which was already out on my desk from an earlier project. There’s a few more steps to this one than my usual creations (I think I’m just a lazy crafter at heart, which is why I love CAS designs!!)… Read More city girl!
Hello there! It’s Sunday again so it’s back into Clarity’s Craft Club – this week I’m playing with the ‘nested doily mandala’ from June 2021. I’ve pulled three challenges together onto this card.

Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s still too cold here in the UK for butterflies to be making an appearance, so I’ve settled for the ones designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs instead.

I’ve gone with… Read More Seize the Birthday challenge – card for a child

Hello there. Well, after yesterday’s dip back into Clarity’s Craft Club I’ve come right up to date with their latest stencil from last month. I took the colours from Just Us Girls and the ‘along the edge’ theme from AAA Cards I started by attaching the stencil to a strip of white card with low… Read More floral swirl
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve brought out the ‘framed florets’ set from Stampin’ Up!, which I haven’t used for a little while. The palette at Colour INKspiration immediately said ‘flowers’ to me and I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches which I rotated. I’ve also picked up the embossing challenge from Can You… Read More flowers & wings
Hello crafty friends. Something a bit different today, with a card my son requested for his friend who’s a bit of a tech geek! I immediately thaought of Stampin’ Up!’s ‘tech support’ set, which I haven’t used as much as I should have… I took inspiration from Inspired by picking up the sketch and the… Read More a techy birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog and a very CAS card using the ‘buttercup doodles’ stamp set from Clarity Crafts’ KISS range. I stripped the design right back on this one (no ink blending or enamel dots in sight!) using the sketch from Global Design Project. I lifted the ‘circles’ theme from AAA cards and the… Read More doodle circles
