Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a fab (but tiring) couple of days with lots of friends from the Clarity Crafts community while I’ve been demonstrating at their Open Days – it’s just so good to catch up in person with social media friends! I’ve been sharing inspiration using the Elementree stamp sets, and realised that… Read More Elementree leaf
Hello everyone. It’s a big weekend of football here in the UK, with the men’s FA Cup final yesterday and the women’s one today. That prompted me to start working on Father’s Day cards ready for next month – this first card uses the wee sports folk stamps from Clarity, plus their BOW-WOB (black-on-white, white-on-black)… Read More Father’s Day football
Hello again! I’m back with a second post today, this time for our new theme of ‘spots or stripes’ at As You See It Challenge thanks to my teamie Jan – there are so many possibilities with this! I’ve used an offcut of a gel press print that I found in my folder from last… Read More spots or stripes at As You See It challenge
Hello friends. I’ve been trying to catch a bit of the sunshine today inbetween work meetings, but sat down to a bit of crafting earlier this evening while watching Clarity’s Paul Church on HobbyMaker TV with the fab floral frame dies. I went with the hapy birthday one on my card – and then realised… Read More floral birthday die
Hello everyone! It’s time for our next challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and we’ve got a beautiful palette of blue and green tones for you. I decided they’d work well with the current sketch at The Paper Players, so that’s what I did! So it was another good excuse (not that I really needed… Read More CAS Colours & Sketches 559 – blue-green colours
Hello friends. I was inspired to get Clarity Crafts‘ ‘lizzy & rockery‘ stamp set out this afternooon while watching Barbara demonstrate with it this afternoon on Clarity Social TV. All the ‘floral walls’ sets in the collection are great for making CAS cards and I kept this one very simple using the sketch from TGIF… Read More lizzy rockery
Hello everyone! Another late post from me today – life is just so busy in the run-up to Christmas. ClarityCrafts have been celebrating their Year of the Alphabet in 2024 and are rounding it off with a sale on all their alphabet sets (what’s not to like…?!) I’ve kicked off today with their ‘wood block… Read More wood block alphabet
Hello friends and welcome to Sunday with an early look at some new stamps that ClarityCrafts will be launching tomorrow. It’s another beautiful A4 sampler set of stamps, this time featuring flowers drawn by Jayne Nestorenko and I’ve mounted the fuschia on a piece of BOW-WOB (black-on-white/white-on-black) paper that I’ve added colour to. This little… Read More fuschia sampler stamp
Hello friends! is it me, or is Sunday just coming round more quickly these days…? Anyway, today’s card is a complete contrast from all the recent Poppets, with a masculine card using the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the ‘wheels’ theme from Cardz4Guyz. I do love a pop of red against black and white,… Read More just a red car
Hello everyone. I’m back with the new sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches, courtesy of Nancy. I haven’t used ClarityCrafts ‘floral crescent’ stamps for a while – I thought they’d work well for Nancy’s sketch and they’re far too pretty to be left languishing in a box. I took the gorgeous colours from Just… Read More CAS Colours & Sketches 545 – a new sketch
