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
Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card today. I haven’t shared any Christmas ones for a little while, so thought I’d better crack on with a few more.

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. Well, I spoke too soon! Although I had finished my Christmas cards (and they are now all in the post), I got a last minute commission for a card with snowflakes, so here it is. I’ve got a bit addicted to kraft and white cards, so I’m afraid I went… Read More Last snowflake?
Welcome to my crafty blog. Having thought I’d finished my Christmas cards, I had to produce a few more today, when I discovered that I can’t count and was several short in my stash! This card was inspired by the current challenge over at The Paper Players (http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/) using a technique from a recent class… Read More Snowflake blizzard!
