Welcome to my crafty blog and something a bit different for me. I generally just make cards, but our new challenge at Sparkles is to use a die or punch and for once I thought Christmas treat boxes would fit the bill. I used the ‘mini cube box’ from Clarity’s craft club earlier this year… Read More Sparkles challenge – die or punch

Hello crafty friends. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into Claritystamp’s new design club – this is the ‘Christmas words tree’ from December 2017. It’s a great stamp and I decided it didn’t need a lot of embellishment, so have kept it very clean and simple. I started by making a green A6… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – Christmas words tree #134
