I was actually making it for one of my live demos last week (check that one out here), but forgot to put a square of stencil card… Read More Tis the season
Hello everyone. I’ve got a busy blog day today, starting this morning with our new challenge at Alphabet, where we’ve reached the letter O.

This time I used it on a Clarity pre-cut cube box, together with one of ‘Linda’s Christmas Treasures Advent’ A4 sampler stamps for a neat little gift box. This time, I took the background print that… Read More poinsettia gift box
Hello there! I’m back with another of the cards I demo’d on Saturday’s shows, this time using the ‘elegant poinsettia’ set from ClarityCrafts.
