Day 7 of my ’12 Dies of Clarity’ and I’m onto the July New Design Club die, which is the ‘overlay leafy aperture’. I started the first card by cutting the die twice into a piece of green card, and then trimmed out all the leaves from the centre so I was left with a… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity – day 7 July’s ‘overlay leafy aperture’
So it’s onto my second post today with day 6 of my ’12 Dies of Clarity’ challenge, this time using the ‘just a little note to say’ die that was the June new design club from Claritystamp.

so it’s day 5 of my personal challenge, and I’ve got two cards made with the May die from Claritystamp’s 2020 New Design Club. This is a mandala aperture die and, I’m afraid, another one that hadn’t seen the light of day on my desk until now. As I’ve found with several of the other… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity – day 5 May ‘mandala’ aperture

These two cards are both designed… Read More 12 Days of Clarity – day 3 March ‘someone I love’ stamp

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is one I’ve made for friends who’ll be celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary next month. I did a bit of research on anniversary gifts and discovered that the 5th anniversary is traditionally marked with gifts of wood, which naturally influenced the theme for this card. Depending on which… Read More ‘Wood’ anniversary
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still making a few final Christmas cards, and turned to another one of the Claritystamp dies as the focal point for this card. The design is inspired by this week’s sketch over at the Fab Friday Challenge (http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com/), and I’ll also be sharing it over at The Paper Players… Read More Snow deer
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card had ‘get well’ wishes for a friend – the UK may be coming out of our second national lockdown tomorrow, but there are still thousands of people testing positive for coronavirus every day, and we have some way to go yet before we are through all this. I’ve… Read More Get well lilies
