Hello crafty friends.

Hello there. It’s time for a new letter at the Alphabet Challenge – we’re now on to E and Billie has chosen ’emboss’. You can opt for wet (heat) or dry embossing – I’ve gone with dry for this masculine card and also picked up the top row on The Paper Players‘ Tic-Tac-Toe grid. This… Read More E for emboss

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another dip back into the Claritystamp craft club. These cheeky chimps are from April 2018 and, I have to confess, aren’t just one that I hadn’t used – I’d actively avoided them! They are so far out of my usual comfort zone and style and I did debate just… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – chimps #138
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a nice and simple one that took less than 10 minutes to make, thanks to the current challenge over at As You See It. The team have got a speedy challenge this week, with the theme of ‘snowflakes’, so this one definitely fits the bill. I decided to use… Read More snowflake wishes
