I’m back again, as there’s so much going on this weekend for ClarityCrafts‘ birthday celebrations! So here’s an early glimpse of a new set being released tomorrow – the ‘seashore scene’ three-way overlay stamps. There are 4 images in this set, with three stamps for each – the outline, the infill and the background. I’ve… Read More happy, joyous & free
Hello there! Friday seems to come round very quickly and we’ve got another new theme to challenge you at As You See It – it’s the dreaded speed stamping! We ask you to make a card in under 10 minutes, this time on the theme of fruit. I was struggling with this one, as I… Read More Fast fruit at As You See It challenge
Hello friends. I’ve got a bit of a look back to the ‘bijou linocut’ stamps from ClarityCrafts that were launched earlier this year. I love this poppies set – in fact all the stamps in the collection are produced from original linocuts by Barbara Gray (she’s so talented!) I’ve picked up a few challenge themes… Read More poppy remember
Hello there! I have a CAS card to share with you today, using the ‘bijou birthday dangles’ stamp from ClarityCrafts and a bit of colour blending. I’ve taken the tones from the current Color Hues palette, with the ‘sentiment only’ theme from CAS on Friday and the ‘blended’ challenge at Addicted to CAS I started… Read More blended birthday
Welcome to Friday and a new letter over at Alphabet Challenge! It’s my turn to choose this week and, as it’s now K, I went with kittens and cats (sneaky, eh?) It gave me another excuse to use one of my all-time favourite ClarityCrafts stamp sets – the ‘birdhouse garden’. I just love this hopeful… Read More K for kittens & cats at Alphabet Challenge

This one was inspired by another of my Clarity design team buddies, Julie Dunn, who’s just brilliant at pattern building with stamps. I started with the snowflake tile stamp… Read More snowflake panel
Hello again! I’m back with another of my cards from the weekend, this time the turtle doves from ‘Tina’s Christmas Centrepiece’ collection, which I’m going to share with Sparkles Christmas challenge for their ‘critters’ theme (I hope birds count!) and Love those pretty papers (clearly, I haven’t taken their optional theme of ‘summertime…) It also… Read More two turtle doves
\h\ello friends. I’m a bit late posting today, but I’ve been quite weary after a long day at the TV studios yesterday (plus I needed to work on some more secret stuff for ClarityCrafts!) I didn’t get to demo this card yesterday – I always prep more than I need as I’m paranoid I’ll run… Read More candle centrepiece
Hello crafty friends! Well it’s very hot here this weekend, so I’ve gone with a colourful summer sky on today’s card, featuring the colours from Just Add Ink and the sketch from Atlantic Hearts and using ClarityCrafts new ‘just woodland & birds’ stamps (which work perfectly for the theme at Addicted to Stamps) I’ve pulled… Read More it’s your special day
It’s the weekend and time to relax a little, so here’s a card encouraging you to do just that thanks to ClarityCrafts‘ ‘dippy toe lady A4 sampler’ set. I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches (rotating it) and the tones from Color Hues, which both worked perfectly with these little square stamps. I worked… Read More and breathe…
