Clarity new design club lookback – thank you #81

Welcome to my crafty blog, and my Sunday lookback through the Claritystamp new design club since I first joined at the end of 2021. Today’s card uses stamp #81 – the thankyou line sentiment from July 2013. Clarity now do a few sets of these line sentiments, but I think this was the first one.… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – thank you #81

rainbow flowers

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is something a bit different for me – always good to ring the changes. I wouldn’t normally use so many colours on one card (three is usually my limit), but this week’s challenge theme over at Just Us Girls is ‘rainbow colours’ so what else was there to… Read More rainbow flowers

lovely mum

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Mother’s Day card, using the new ‘art gallery’ set from Stampin’ Up! – this one is for a friend to send her mum next month. I do really like this stamp set, and decided it would make a great contemporary style card, rather than the more… Read More lovely mum

art nouveau tulips

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m now busy making Mother’s Day cards, which will be celebrated here in the UK on 14 March. Mothering Sunday is a Christian celebration on the 4th Sunday of Lent and was traditionally a day for people to return to their mother church, usually the one where they had been… Read More art nouveau tulips

polka dot flowers

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses another one of the fab stamp and die sets from Julie Hickey Designs – this time the ‘fresh florals’. I love the style of Julie’s stamps, they’re always so well drawn. I’ve used this week’s TicTacToe Challenge grid for my card – I went straight down the… Read More polka dot flowers

subtle poppies

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card picks up a technique from Barbara Gray over on her blog, using these great new backdrop stamps from Clarity. You can find her detailed step by step here. I started with the larger of the square backdrop stamps and dabbed Distress Oxides onto it in ‘chipped sapphire’ and… Read More subtle poppies

an art gallery bloom

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been very excited as my order of new Stampin’ Up! stamps finally arrived a couple of days ago (there have been major delays in shipping to the UK thanks to Brexit!) My biggest decision today was to choose which ones to play with first – in the end I… Read More an art gallery bloom

periwinkle wishes

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still trying to stay away from my favourite blues & pinks on cards, and today’s is a mixture of peachy tones and green. I’ve just got a couple of new shades of Distress Oxides, so thought they ought to have an outing. I’ve taken inspiration for this creation from… Read More periwinkle wishes

Delightful daisy

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve definitely managed to move away from my recent palette of blues & pinks with this card, using the new ‘Delightful Daisy’ stamp and die set from Julie Hickey Designs. I did a brilliant Facebook class with Julie last Friday using this and her other new daisy stamps, but for… Read More Delightful daisy

A centenary and a half!

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m celebrating a milestone today – this little blog was only started 11 months ago and this is my 150th post! I started shortly after I retired from full time work, and planned to blog a couple of times a week. That gradually increased over the year, and I’ve now… Read More A centenary and a half!
