Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using one of the new stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘floral blooms’.

Hello crafty friends. Well, it’s Sunday so time for another lookback into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club, and this time it’s to December 2018 for the ‘cuckoo clock’ (and cuckoo!).

Welcome to my crafty blog and another card made from die cuts, this time with added paper piecing.
