Hello crafty friends. Well, we’re halfway through June already and so it’s time for our latest challenge at Sparkles. This time round our theme is ‘fairytale or storybook’ and it gave me the perfect excuse to play with the Sprite Mini Poppets stamps again – I think Mabel and her little frog are one of… Read More Fairytale at Sparkles Challenge
Hello friends. I make no apologies for being back with another card using the build a wreath stamps, as this is another of the designs I was sharing at Clarity’s Open Days at the end of last month (it does make a change from the Winter stamps, though!)

Hello crafty friends. I’m still working through sharing my demos from last Friday’s Clarity Social TV, so here’s the small monarch butterfly using the stamp and the die set (but without the stand).

Hello friends. I thought I’d share the first demo from this morning’s Clarity Social TV show where I made this fab 3D butterfly – and very unusually for me there is no inking or stamping anywhere on this little project!
