Hello crafty friends. Well, I decided that I really need to start using up some of the stash of designer papers I’ve got stored on my craft shelves – both of these cards use the new ‘Eden’s Garden’ series from Stampin’ Up!

Hello crafty friends. Today’s post is a bit less rushed, with a new theme from the Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to the letter U and Billie has chosen ‘unequal’. Essentially our cards need to have items of different sizes, eg a large and a small flower. I’ve gone for Julie Hickey’s large ‘happy’ sentiment… Read More U for unequal

I decided to keep it very clean & simple on this one, so the sentiment… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – love sentiment #136

Hello crafty friends and welcome to the last day of my Christmas journey back through Claritystamp’s 2021 die Craft Club. Today it’s the ‘abstract snowflake’ from December, which arrived just before Christmas (so I don’t feel I have to apologise for not having used it before now!) It’s larger than the usual club dies, but… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity day 12 – abstract snowflake
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!

This lovely ‘noel aperture’ die is from the October Craft Club, and I did use it to make some of my 2021 cards.
