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
Hello crafty friends. Unusually today I don’t have a card to share with you, instead I’ve made a gift wallet that one of my sons will be receiving with a nice surprise inside.

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my weekly dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club (formerly their new design club). This week I’ve reached the ‘jay bird’ stamp from October 2017 (another one that I have to confess hasn’t seen action until now!) I started with Clarity’s ‘treescape’ stencil on a strip of white card and… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – jay bird
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s Christmas card uses the stockings stamp set, one of Claritystamp’s ‘Christmas rounds’. I’ve gone for a slightly less traditional colour scheme on this card with the grey, but I rather like it.

Hello crafty friends – just for a change I thought I’d share a Christmas card with you today (ha, ha!)
