Hello crafty friends. It’s Sunday again, so here’s the next in my journey back through Claritystamp’s Craft Club, with the ‘birthday wreath’ from July 2021. I need to make a couple of anniversary cards for friends, so thought this would give me a good start – there are lots of little hearts tucked into the… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – birthday wreath
Welcome to my crafty blog and the new theme over at the Alphabet Challenge. We’re now on to J and Caz has gone with ‘juvenile’, which means relating to young people. I need some more new baby cards, so thought that would fit the bill. I do love this Noah’s Ark image from the retired… Read More J for Juvenile
Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a lovely afternoon crafting online with my sister – we were both playing with our latest goodies from Claritystamp’s craft club last month. These two cards were made with the ‘thinking of you panels’ stamps – a great set to make borders & frames with. I’ve used the new colours… Read More read & dream
Hello there. I needed a boy’s birthday card so turned to Julie Hickey’s star dies as the focus for the card. I took the layout from the sketch over at As You See It (swapping the circles for stars), together with the colours from Color Hues, adding in their optional theme of ‘stars & stripes’.… Read More stars & stripes
Hello there. Today’s card uses one of the new stamps I got at Claritystamp’s Open Day last weekend – the ‘linocut daisy’ set. I thought it would work well with heat embossing, so decided to give that a go. I’ve taken the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the new colour combo of blue &… Read More linocut daisy
Hello there! Having shared a brand new purchase yesterday, I’m back with my Sunday dip into Claritystamp’s Craft Club back issues and today it’s the ‘sing your song’ stamp from November 2020. This is such a cheerful little stamp! I started by stamping the bird & trees onto white card using ‘black soot’ Distress Oxide,… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – sing your song
Hello there. Well I’m back in my CAS comfort zone today, with another card using Julie Hickey’s ‘daisy blooms’ stamp. There’s a bit of a twist with this card as well, which is not obvious at first glance! Inkspirational have challenged us to use something free or gifted on our cards – I’ve used the… Read More red & aqua blooms
Hello there. It’s a little while since I used one of the aperture dies from Claritystamp, and I thought that one of the panoramic scenes (this is the ‘one tree’) was ideal for the current theme of ‘bark’ over at Inkspirational. I’ve had a second go with the colour palette from Color Hues as well.… Read More panoramic tree
Hello there! It’s time for a new letter at the Alphabet Challenge – we’re now on to C and Dawn has chosen ‘cars’ for the theme. I went back to the retired ‘Coming Home’ set from Stampin’ Up! – I love the little car in the set that looks like a VW Beetle. I started… Read More C is for Cars
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m posting a bit earlier than usual today, as I’ve got a last minute entry for Color Hues – I really wasn’t sure whether I liked this paper from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘flowering fields’ set when I first saw it, but it’s perfect for their ‘purple & green’ challenge. I’ve teamed… Read More tulip happiness
