Hello crafty friends. We’ve got more new goodies from ClarityCrafts today and this card features the fab ‘bamboo two-way overlay’ stamp set. I wanted to keep it pretty simple (no surprise there!) to reflect the ‘zen’ quality in the stamp I’ve used again today from the small ‘Japanese sentiments’ set. I started with a square… Read More bamboo spotlight

Well it’s Sunday again, so I’ve dipped into my Clarity Craft Club back issues for the next die to use – this week it’s ‘Barbara’s floral round’ (#43) from July 2022. I’ve teamed it up with a couple of their ‘nested doodle frame-it’ dies and have got a few hopefully helpful tips on using these… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – floral round die
Hello again! I’m back with a second card featuring one of the new Rectangle Aperture A5 stencils that ClarityCrafts have launched today. These stencils are made from thin plastic, so it’s easy to get very detailed images from them. I decided to combine the stencil with some masking for my layout, and used a die… Read More floral birthday blessings
Somehow it’s Sunday again, so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s Craft Club for the next in my Sunday sessions – today it’s the ‘hot air balloon aperture die’ (#139) from June 2022.
