Welcome to my crafty blog and a card that is again virtually all die cutting with only a little bit of stamping. I do love Julie Hickey’s Alphabet letter dies, but have never used them before as the central focus of a card. I thought they would work well, though, for the current sketch over… Read More it’s your birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. This week’s foray into my Clarity new design club back catalogue took me to the daisies from January 2015 and my third year of club membership. I think these were probably the first set of outline and infill stamps I had encountered – but certainly not the last!! I was… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – daisies #99
Welcome to my crafty blog. Just a quick post today – I’ve been out to lunch with friends on a glorious sunny day, including a walk along the seafront and an icecream. Life doesn’t get much better than that! Sadly, not everyone is in the same fortunate position and today’s card is one of encouragement… Read More floral thoughts
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been doing a spot of crafty gardening today with this card – have to confess that I’m not a big gardener, although several of my friends are. I’d much rather just sit in mine with a glass of wine! I am off to the Chelsea Flower Show in September… Read More Plant a garden, water your soul
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got a bright anniversary card to share with you today, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘art gallery’ stamp set and the matching ‘floral gallery’ dies. I’ve combined three of this week’s challenges into the one card – the gorgeous photo over at Time Out gave me the colours and floral theme,… Read More anniversary flowers

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
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with my Sunday lookback through the Claritystamp new design club since I first joined, and I’m now onto the start of my second year of membership with the ‘robin’ stamp from December 2013. This month saw another change in the club with the launch of full colour printed… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – robin (#86)
Welcome to my crafty blog. No 1 son moved into his new flat earlier this week, so I’ve been making a few cards for family members to send him – this one is for his grandparents to send. It’s OK, there’s no risk of a spoiler as he doesn’t read my blog! I love this… Read More through the square window…
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve just got the brand new daisies stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs, and couldn’t wait to have a play with them. This is the ‘sweet daisies’ set – I love how fresh these images are. I’ve taken the colour scheme from this week’s challenge over at Fab Friday –… Read More Sweet daisies
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve now started making thank you cards, as I always need a number of them after Christmas (for which I’m very grateful!). There used to be a TV advert in the UK which I think was for Interflora, with the strapline ‘say it with flowers’ – so that’s what I’m… Read More say ‘thank you’ with flowers
