Welcome to my crafty blog. I finally got round to using the March stamps from the Claritystamp craft club – my sister, my craft buddy & I have organised a monthly ‘Clarity crafternoon’ online so we encourage each other to use our stamps, and I love how we can produce such different outcomes from the… Read More reeds & insects
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday already, so time for the next installment in my lookback through the Claritystamp new design club. #89 from March 2014 was the edelweiss stamp which I’ve only used a couple of time over the years, so it deserves another airing. I took inspiration from one of the cards… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – edelweiss #89
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses one of my all-time favourite stamps, ‘Tina’s floral spray’ from Claritystamp. It’s become my go-to image for lots of occasions – I think I use it at least once a month. I’ve used the colours from the new challenge at Color Throwdown and the layout from Global… Read More birthday celebrations
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is a very quick one, thanks to the challenge over at As You See It. It’s the first time I’ve done one of these – in addition to the theme, you have to make the card in less than 10 minutes! I picked up the colours from this… Read More cherry blossom
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with my weekly lookback through the Claritystamp new design club, and I’m now up to #88 from February 2014. I have to be honest, I haven’t used this one very much over the years – I’ve always struggled with how best to use it. I’m pleased with how… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – all you need is love #88
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with my second post today, and it’s my second die cut card this week as well! These are such great little dies from Claritystamp – they’re called ‘quarterettes’ as they come in a set of 4 and are each 1/4 of the size of Clarity’s regular dies. I… Read More comfort!
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Good Friday today, when Christians commemorate Christ’s crucifixion so it seemed appropriate to share a card of hope. This is probably the most poignant day in the Christian calendar but we do at least know what happened over the next few days, unlike the disciples who had to rely… Read More future hope
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is not my usual style – there’s very little stamping on it, just die cuts and designer paper. The main central feature is one of the fab round floral aperture dies from Claritystamp – this one is ‘periwinkle and friends’. I teamed it with a piece of paper… Read More framed florals
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with Claritystamp’s masks again today – they are fantastic for building scenes. Today’s card uses the ‘deerscape’ mask, along with the mountains from the new ‘riverside landscape & reflection’ set – and only 3 ink colours (I do love a bit of blending!) The three colours are… Read More deerscape
Welcome to my crafty blog. Well I’m now up to January 2014 in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club, with this forest of pine trees. I’ve actually used it on two cards , as I decided it would work really well with the new ‘riverside landscape & reflection’ masks, as well as on… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – pine trees #87
