Hello crafty friends. I’m now up to October 2021 for this week’s dip back into the Clarity Craft Club, which helpfully was this Christmas tree stamp – nice and timely for a bit more batch making!

Hello there. I’m on a bit of a roll with Christmas cards this weekend – I batch made a load more this afternoon but took time to play with the poinsettia stamp & die from Julie Hickey Designs as well.
