Hello crafty friends. I’ve stripped it right back again on today’s card with one of Linda’s Christmas Floral Rounds stamps, and the beauty of these stamps is that they’re not only for Christmas – the lovely images work for other occasions too. Here’s a quick run through my process, starting with one of the 3.5″… Read More simply sending love
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with another new Clarity product today – the Triangle Trees masks. These came out of one of Barbara’s SHAC (Safe, Happy & Creative) sessions when she was drawing them, and they make layering up the trees so easy. First, though, I needed to create a frame on a 6×6… Read More triangle trees

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. I was actually making it for one of my live demos last week (check that one out here), but forgot to put a square of stencil card… Read More Tis the season
Hello everyone. Another late post from me (it’s getting to be a bit of a habit!), but it’s been a busy day again and I hadn’t drafted this one up ahead of time. This is another of the designs I was demoing at Clarity’s Open Days last month and I realised I hadn’t shared it… Read More Christmas in grey

So welcome to their last… Read More Joining Addicted to Stamps & More at Christmas!
Hello everyone – I hope your weekend is going well. I’m back with another of my demos from yesterday’s Clarity Social TV shows using the quirky new Sam’s Christmas Tree stamps, this time with a little friend and a background using her new Christmas BOW-WOB papers too. Let’s start with the background. I brayered ‘uncharted… Read More Sam’s Christmas trees – and friend!
Hello crafty friends. I haven’t had any of Clarity’s bijou bauble stamps out so far this season, so figured it was time to rectify that, inspired by Barbara’s demos with them on HobbyMaker TV this afternoon. This card uses the ‘joy to the world’ bauble from the set, together with one of the lattice doodle… Read More bijou Christmas bauble
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. I’ve spent part of today finishing of some of the pile of toppers I’ve got following my two days of demonstrating at Clarity Crafts Open Days and I think this little scene is definitely one of my favourites! It’s another use of the Woodland Scene stamps and Autumn/Winter Skies toppers, but this time… Read More Christmas church
