It’s Sunday evening again and I’m back with another dip into Claritystamp’s new design club – this time it’s the ‘pot plant’ from June 2015. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually used this one, but thought it would work well with one of Clarity’s stencil vases and the ‘letterbox alphabet’ stamps that I’ve had for… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – pot plant #104
Welcome to my crafty blog. I needed a card for friends who are celebrating their wedding anniversary this weekend, and have fallen in love with the new ‘Artistically Inked’ set from Stampin’ Up! after doing an online class using it earlier this week with Joanne James. I thought it would work really well with the… Read More artistically inked anniversary
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to pick out another Stampin’ Up! set that I bought last year, played with a few times and then haven’t used for ages – the ‘many layered blossoms’ dies. I think I need to get a better system going for working through all my stash so it doesn’t… Read More die cut blossoms
Welcome to my crafty blog and my second post of the day. This one is a diamond wedding anniversary card that I was asked to make, and I’ve dug back into my stash of Claritystamps for some old favourites. I started with the word stamp that has 1 Corinthians 13 on it, and repeat stamped… Read More diamond wedding
Welcome to my crafty blog. Bit of a late post today with my weekly dip into the Claritystamp new design club – this time it’s the agapanthus stamp from March 2015. I decided to use it for a few of this week’s blog challenges. The colours are from Color Throwdown – for once I’ve stayed… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – agapanthus #101
Welcome to my crafty blog and some slightly unseasonal primroses! I love these three way overlay stamps from Claritystamp (they’ve got quite a few in their range now), although I do have to use my stamping platform to make sure I get each one lined up fully before I ink it. I can’t manage to… Read More primroses
Welcome to my crafty blog. I treated myself to another new set of stamps, ‘Pretty Perennials’, that were reduced to half price by Stampin’ Up! as they are about to be retired. It’s such a pretty set I gave into temptation having recently done a class using them with Joanne James (aka The Crafty Owl).… Read More floral birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another quick post after a busy day – clearly I’m not very good at this retirement lark! I’ve used Julie Hickey’s ‘florals for you’ stamp set today – I love the contemporary look of these flowers and they worked really well with some paper piecing. I started by just… Read More dotty florals
Welcome to my crafty blog. Just a quick share today as I’ve got a busy diary – I’ve gone back to one of my all-time favourite stamps from Clarity, ‘Tina’s floral spray’. I decided to go for a different look, keeping the flowers in relief and making the background the key focus for this one… Read More sunset flowers
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
