Hello there. I’m back with another card using the new ‘daisy buttons’ stamnp set from Julie Hickey Designs. I’ve stepped it up a little from yesterday’s offering, but it’s still basically a CAS design. I used the colours from Inspire.Create (well, the nearest I had as I don’t have the Stampin’ Up! ones), with the… Read More birthday daisies
Hello everyone. Just a short post this evening – I’m away for the weekend and can’t get an Internet connection in my hotel room so I’m blogging this on my phone (which I’ve never done before!).

Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another ‘two-for-one’ post today, thanks to the ‘artistic’ dies from Stampin’ Up! and the colour palette from Color Throwdown. I sat for a while trying to decided which way round to use the colours for the floral die cut and in the end went for both! I started by… Read More artistically die cut!

Hello crafty friends. Well it’s Sunday again so here’s the next in my trip back through Claritystamp’s Craft Club. This ‘buddleia’ stamp was from March 2018 – these are such great plants for the garden as they attract the butterflies (although it’s a bit early in the year just now for them to be flowering,… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – buddleia #137
