Welcome to my crafty blog and another birthday card. This one uses the wonderful Julie Hickey’s ‘floral happiness’ stamp – I did an online class with Julie a couple of months ago using this set, which inspired this design together with the layout from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. The fab colours are the current… Read More happy birthday wishes
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided it was time I had another play with the ‘pansy patch’ set from Stampin’ Up! and thought the ‘plentiful plants’ set would make an ideal base for my flowers, after I’d seen the new inspiration photo from Inspired by challenge. I picked up their sketch as well for… Read More a pot of pansies
Welcome to my crafty blog and another outing for Stampin’ Up’s ‘artistically inked’ set. I’ve used the colours from the current challenge at Colour INKspiration, which is on Facebook. They aren’t a combination I’d usually pick up myself, but do work really well for floral cards though. I started by making a 6×6 card blank… Read More birthday flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has a bit more of an autumnal feel – I picked up the challenge theme of ‘harvest’ from Just Us Girls with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘painted harvest’ set from a few years ago. I thought that would work well with this week’s colour palette from The Paper Players The… Read More thankful for you

Welcome to my crafty blog and some bright flowers today, as we’ve finally got the sunshine back after a few days of heavy rain. If you read my musings regularly you’ll know that this ‘floral spray’ from Claritystamp is one of my favourites, so it had to have an outing now my crafty mojo is… Read More floral spray
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
