Hello everyone. It’s a big weekend of football here in the UK, with the men’s FA Cup final yesterday and the women’s one today. That prompted me to start working on Father’s Day cards ready for next month – this first card uses the wee sports folk stamps from Clarity, plus their BOW-WOB (black-on-white, white-on-black)… Read More Father’s Day football
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card from last weekend’s shows using ‘Tina’s bijou retro stamps’ from Clarity Crafts. Once again, I’ve got to thank my Clarity team-mate Jane Telford for the inspiration on this one – Jane’s card was very CAS, but for once I decided to step it up a bit with… Read More retro trees
Hello crafty friends. I’m sharing another of my demos from yesterday’s TV shows – this one using the ‘leafy framer’ set from ClarityCrafts was a bit rushed at the end of the 1pm show, so hopefully this post will give you time to walk through it a bit more slowly! It’s only 4 weeks til… Read More framer landscape
Hello there and welcome to something a wee bit different today – my first attempt at collage on a card! Our new theme at Alphabet Challenge is C for Car, which made ClarityCrafts ‘wings & wheels’ stamp set an obvious choice – and I decided the Darjeeling Infusions collage papers would make a perfect background,… Read More C for Car at Alphabet Challenge
Welcome to my crafty blog and some exciting news! I’ve been invited to join the design team over at Sparkles challenges and this is my first contribution. My team-mate Vickie has chosen ‘things with wings’ as this month’s theme – I went for the biplane from an old Stampin’ Up! set ‘sky is the limit’.… Read More things with wings
Hello crafty friends. Another Father’s Day card today, this one commissioned by a friend for their train loving dad. I’ve only got one stamp with a train on it (obvious shopping need there!), which is CI-404 from Crafty Individuals. I haven’t used it in ages (how often do I say that…?!), so it defintitely needed… Read More Dad’s train
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Father’s Day card. Stampin’ Up!’s ‘whiskey business’ set is so useful for masculine cards. I’ve picked up four challenges for this creation: the colours are from TGIF, the drink theme from The Paper Players and As You See It (both of whom have ‘beverage’ in their challenge), and… Read More straight up
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sharing another Father’s Day card today – this one uses the new ‘horizon’ dies and co-ordinating paper from Stampin’ Up! I did an online class with Joanne James this morning using this set, and I’m now inspired! I’ve picked up a couple of challenges for this card, taking the… Read More Father’s day horizons
Hello crafty friends. I’ve made a start on cards for Father’s Day – the English cricket season started this month so this die from Tattered Lace seemed a good starting point. I’ve used the sketch from TGIF for the layout, and managed to pick up two sections of TicTacToe‘s grid as well! The top row… Read More hit for six!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still busy with Father’s Day cards, so I can get them off in good time to the little community shop that’s selling some of my creations. I’m quite pleased with today’s offering as it’s used up several pieces of scrap card, so has gladdened my thrifty crafter heart! I… Read More best day ever
