Welcome to my crafty blog. A friend of mine asked me to make a birthday card for her daughter, and this is it! I’ve used several of Julie Hickey’s stamps for this one, and based it on a card I made last year, although I’ve stepped it up a bit. (You can check out the… Read More floral heart
Welcome to my crafty blog and a clean and simple birthday card. I haven’t used the ‘birthday dangles’ set from Claritystamp for some time, so thought it deserved an outing! It’s such a great image that it really stands on it’s own without a lot of other embellishment. I thought it would work perfectly for… Read More birthday!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been catching up with an online class from last week with the brilliant Julie Hickey using some of her new stamps, and I adapted this card from one of her demonstrations. I’m always in awe of what she manages to come up with. I’ve used the colours from the… Read More birthday circles
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is a masculine birthday one, which any crafter will tell you is more tricky to make than female ones. I’ve been asked to make a few for a friend so had to get my thinking cap on. I’m using another one of my inky mop-up backgrounds from cleaning… Read More Two trees birthday
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
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. It’s been a busy week, with not much time for crafting, but I found some time this afternoon to make a birthday card for a friend. I do seem to have a few birthdays to celebrate over Christmas and New Year. I used Julie Hickey’s ‘daisy medley’ and ‘fresh florals’… Read More Daisy Medley
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
Welcome to my crafty blog. I wanted to share the birthday card I made for my son, who owns a very elegant tabby cat called Benji. I bought this lovely stamp from Crafty Individuals especially for his card – I’ve pictured it with a pot my son painted for me when he was small, and… Read More Monochrome cat
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is another birthday card for a friend (I’ve got a lot of birthdays to cover at this time of year!). This time I’ve used Stampin Up’s ‘butterfly gala’ stamp set, from the current catalogue, which has a matching punch for the butterflies. I’ve used the sketch over at… Read More Butterfly birthday
