Hello crafty friends. I’m kicking off Friday with our new challenge at Alphabet – we’ve reached R and Billie has given us ‘ribbon’ as the theme. Now, you’ll know that I don’t usually add ribbon or other embellishments to my cards, so Clarity’s Bijou Ribbon Sentiments stamps came to my rescue! I also want to… Read More R for Ribbon at Alphabet Challenge
Hello crafty friends. Well, after the new goodies I’ve been playing with over the last few days, I took a turn on today’s little creation and dipped back into the Craft Club for the ‘wrapped in lace’ stamp (#205) from November 2023. It’s such a pretty design, I really should use it more – today… Read More A gift for you
Hello friends. I’ve been trying to use up some of my stash today, starting with a gel plate print I pulled last week using Sam’s Christmas BOW-WOB papers.

Hello again. I’m back with a second card – this one is a demo from this afternoon’s Clarity Social TV show, using the Peace Framer stamp set and inspired by our new layout at As You See It. At first glance, the sketch looks like it’s designed for layers of patterned paper, but I decided… Read More Peace at As You See It Challenge 362
Hello friends. I’m back with another of the sets in Clarity’s Barbara’s Big Blooms collection – this time I’ve gone with the A5 square Holly Leaves set. It’s a perfect Christmas set, drawn by Barbara, but I’ve put a contemporary twist on the images with a teal and silver colour combo. I cut a piece… Read More teal & silver holly
Hello craft friends. I’m still ploughing through my demo pieces from the weekend (I told you I’d been busy!) and wanted to share this one, which was a happy discovery when I was prepping with the Woodland Scene stamp set. I didn’t get step-by-step photos of this one as I was just testing out the… Read More peaceful woodland
Hello everyone. Just popping in with another quick card having got home this evening after after a brilliant weekend demonstrating at Clarity’s Open Days, followed by a workshop with Barbara Gray today. This design with the Winter Wonderland set proved very popular with people, so I’ve now got quite a few samples of it (which… Read More wintery wonderland
Hello crafty friends. It’s been another busy day demonstrating at Clarity Crafts’ Open Days – lots of interest in this Winter Wonderland stamp set which I combined with one of Barb’s Landscape backdrop prints to make a card of thanks for our new theme of ‘thank you’ at Sparkles Challenge. I’ve made several copies of… Read More thank you card at Sparkles Challenge
