Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with one of my favourite Clarity dies today – the ‘deerscape’. It’s great for masculine cards – I’d usually cut the die into black or dark brown card, but went with a kraft version this time inspired by the colours in The Card Concept‘s photo (the plants also made… Read More deerscape birthday
Welcome to day 5 of my 12 Days of Clarity, today using the ‘grunge texture block’ stamp from the May Craft Club. I took inspiration from Barbara Gray’s design on the project sheet and used it to create the background for a little scene. I strated by stamping the texture block twice onto a square… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2022 – grunge texture block
Welcome to my crafty blog and another last minute challenge offering. Just Add Ink‘s theme is to ‘choose two’ and it probably doesn’t need explaining that I went for deer & trees! I’m also linking it up with Time Out‘s ‘winter’ challenge I’ve used the Clarity ‘riverside landscape reflection’ masks, starting with a piece of… Read More wintery morning
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new challenge over at Love to Craft and as always the theme is ‘anything goes’. I decided to go with some simple masking on a piece of Clarity’s glorious ‘Waimea Falls’ designer card. I ran a black Sharpie round the edge of the card to start… Read More morning deer for Love to Craft challenge
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
Hello crafty friends. I decided to have another play with one of my new stencils from Claritystamp (it’s #22 from the Craft Club back issues) and as a result this is yet another card that has no stamping on it – for someone who is a confirmed stamper at heart I seem to be producing… Read More winter animals
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
Welcome to my crafty blog and the next installment in my weekly lookback through Claritystamp’s new design club. Today’s card uses the ‘deer heart’ stamp from December 2014 and takes us into the start of my third year as an NDC member. I used one of Barbara Gray’s cards on the project sheet as my… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – deer heart #98
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday, so I’m on to the next stamp in my lookback through the Claritystamp new design club – today it’s #92, the ‘row of trees’ from June 2014. I’ve used this one a few times over the years – I love its clean lines. I decided to use it… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – row of trees #92
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with Claritystamp’s masks again today – they are fantastic for building scenes. Today’s card uses the ‘deerscape’ mask, along with the mountains from the new ‘riverside landscape & reflection’ set – and only 3 ink colours (I do love a bit of blending!) The three colours are… Read More deerscape
