Hello crafty friends. Just a very quick post tonight after a long day of meetings and another one in a while! Here’s a card using Claritystamp’s ‘primrose’ three way overlay stamp set, that I thought worked well for the new challenges at Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches I started with a piece of card… Read More spring primroses
Hello crafty friends and welcome to the penultimate day of my 12 Dies of Clarity. November’s Craft Club was this die set of a brick wall with little cats and dogs – so useful!

Hello crafty friends. I thought I’d better make a start on some thank you cards, now all the Christmas ones are sorted! I’ve picked up the colours from the current Color Throwdown challenge and used them with Julie Hickey’s ‘florals for you’ set. I started with an A6 card blank and blended some ‘picked raspberry’… Read More a floral thank you
Hello crafty friends. Bit of a late post today – I’ve had a lovely evening out with friends at a local garden owned by the Royal Horticultural Society that was all lit up for Christmas. It was so beautiful, despite the cold. It’s been a busy day all round, as I also joined an online… Read More fresh floral happy

I started with Clarity’s ‘treescape’ stencil on a strip of white card and… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – jay bird
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another Christmas card! It must be that time of year…! I’ve used another one of Claritystamp’s stained glass windows, but this time the small stamp rather than the larger die. I’ve had this one for quite a long time – it always feels good when I use older stamps… Read More star window
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a masculine one, using Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ aperture die. I love the way this cuts the scene into the card – I’ve got the matching stamp as well (I am a stamper at heart) but this die gives such a brilliant sharp outline. I’ve taken inspiration for this one from… Read More amazing day
Hello crafty friends – I’m back with another card using the beautiful ‘all about the girls’ set designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs (I did tell you there would be more of these!) Today’s card uses the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the colour palette from Color Throwdown. I started by cutting… Read More happy birthday circles
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been having a quick play this evening after another day spent online in a work meeting – it’s so nice to step away from it all and just create something. Barbara Gray from Claritystamp was on The Craft Store today – I’ve just been watching her on catch-up and got inspired… Read More What is this life…
