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

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
Hello there! I’m back with another of the cards I demo’d on Saturday’s shows, this time using the ‘elegant poinsettia’ set from ClarityCrafts. Although at first glance this looks like a pretty standard card, I pushed myself out of my usual comfort zone as I used a gel press plate to create the background! I’ve… Read More elegant poinsettia
Hello there. I’m back with another silhouette stamp set from ClarityCrafts, this time it’s ‘meadowdance’. I just love the joy in these dancing children – they’re ready for the school holidays, methinks! I was inspired for this one by the theme over at The Paper Players – the stamps definitely say ‘summer fun’ to me!… Read More summer fun
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got another look at ClarityCrafts ‘calligraphy girls’ stamps today – Barbara Gray will be showcasing them on CreateandCraft TV tomorrow afternoon. I’ve paired one of the girls with the BOW-WOB (black-on-white, white-on-black) papers, using a gel press to add colour to them and pull a print as well. I was inspired… Read More blue days!
