Welcome to my crafty blog and another two-for-one post. This sweet teddy bear is from July 2018, and I have to confess is another stamp that’s not seen action until now! I need some more new baby cards in my stash, which seemed like the perfect theme. I started by stamping the bear in black… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – teddy bear #141
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another wedding card (trying to get my stocks built up!). This one uses the January Craft Club stencil from Claritystamp – I decided to expand my club membership this year to include the stencils, and this one is a great start. I’ve taken inspiration from a few challenges for… Read More wedding day celebrations
Welcome to my crafty bog and my regular Sunday dip back into the Claritystamp Craft Club. Today we’re up to June 2018, which was this really sweet teapot. I decided it had such a lovely pattern that I didn’t want to distract with a busy background, so I just started by blending ‘juniper’ Adirondack ink… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – teapot #140
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with a new stamp today – the ‘snowdrop’ is the January Craft Club stamp from Claritystamp. I thought the colour palette from As You See It would work really well for this, and I’ve used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches I started with the background, and… Read More snowdrop
Welcome to my crafty blog and a post with exciting news. The lovely team over at Color Throwdown have invited me to be their featured guest stamper on today’s new challenge!

This card is for a friend who is about to have surgery for cancer… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – calla lily #139
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another dip back into the Claritystamp craft club. These cheeky chimps are from April 2018 and, I have to confess, aren’t just one that I hadn’t used – I’d actively avoided them! They are so far out of my usual comfort zone and style and I did debate just… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – chimps #138
Hello crafty friends. I decided to have another play with one of my new stencils from Claritystamp (it’s #22 from the Craft Club back issues) and as a result this is yet another card that has no stamping on it – for someone who is a confirmed stamper at heart I seem to be producing… Read More winter animals
Hello crafty friends. Well it’s Sunday again so here’s the next in my trip back through Claritystamp’s Craft Club. This ‘buddleia’ stamp was from March 2018 – these are such great plants for the garden as they attract the butterflies (although it’s a bit early in the year just now for them to be flowering,… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – buddleia #137
Hello crafty friends. I’ve delved back into my folder of inky mop-up pieces for the background piece on this card and teamed it with what I think is my favourite stamp from Clarity’s 2021 Craft Club – I just love this little landscape. The starting point for this card was an easy choice, as the… Read More another inky background
