Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for a die that I’m ashamed to say has sat in my stash for some time now! I decided it would work well for the current challenge at Global Design Project, where the task is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the card designed by Connie.… Read More dandelions die cut
Hello crafty friends. I decided to play with the ‘floral forest’ stamp from Clarity – it’s been in my stash for a while and not emerged for some time! I picked up the colour palette from CAS Colours & Sketches and the ‘romantic’ theme from Time Out for this card. The ‘floral forest’ is a… Read More your heart and my heart
Hello crafty friends. Well, after a little detour over Christmas I’m back into my regular Sunday dip into back issues of Clarity’s Craft Club. Today it’s the ‘leafy stag’ die from October 2020. I started with the background and brayered ‘broken china’ & ‘chipped sapphire’ Distress Oxides onto the large ‘dots and spots’ grunge background… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – leafy stag die
Happy New Year, crafty friends! We’re starting 2023 with a new challenge over at Love to Craft and as always the theme is ‘anything goes’. A friend asked me to make a birthday card for her daughter-in-law and I built the design around Clarity’s ‘happy birthday floral frame’ die. I started by cutting the die… Read More floral frame birthday
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge – we’re now on to I and Helen has chosen ‘interests’ (hobbies, etc) as the theme for the next fortnight. My son wanted a birthday card for his father, who is a very keen cricketer, so I thought that fitted the… Read More I for interests
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a last minute offering for Color Throwdown – I thought their colours would be perfect for a countryside scene using one of Claritystamp’s ‘room with a view’ aperture dies. This one is set 1 ‘sunshine’. The first step was to cut the die into the forn of a 6×6… Read More sunny day
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
Hello there. It’s a little while since I used one of the aperture dies from Claritystamp, and I thought that one of the panoramic scenes (this is the ‘one tree’) was ideal for the current theme of ‘bark’ over at Inkspirational. I’ve had a second go with the colour palette from Color Hues as well.… Read More panoramic tree
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card for a friend who’s going through a difficult time with their health at the moment. I’ve gone with Claritystamp’s ‘funky foliage’ die for the centrepiece on this one, picking up on the themes from a couple of challenges. Festive Friday are marking International Dance Day – there… Read More funky foliage wishes
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a birthday card for my niece, who’s off to Paris with her sister this week to celebrate. I thought the colours from Just Add Ink were perfect for a French themed card, and the sketch from Fusion Card Challenge (which I rotated) worked well with Claritystamp’s Paris aperture die.… Read More Paris or die!
