Welcome to my crafty blog, and a card using Claritystamp designer paper as the main focus. I love looking at abstract paper designs and seeing landscapes, etc, in them. I’ve managed to combine four challenges in this card – you can judge whether I’ve succeeded! I took the layout from CAS Colours and Sketches, with… Read More the best things in life…
Hello there. Well, it’s Sunday again so I’ve dipped back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club for this ‘iron horse’ stamp from July 2020.

Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses the ‘in the moment’ set from Stampin’ Up! – I did an online class with Joanne James using it last month, but haven’t had it out since.

I’ve used a really old image from Claritystamp that I’ve had for years- the stained glass Easter window, which I don’t think is available anymore. I took the layout for this from… Read More easter garden

I started… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – with love banner
Welcome to my crafty bloig, and another card using the ‘happy birthday’ stencil and star dies from Julie Hickey Designs.

Hello crafty friends, and welcome to my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club.
