Hello crafty friends. Today’s card pulls a few blog challenges together, using an old nativity scene stamp from Clarity Crafts, together with one of their ‘frame-it’ dies. I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and added in the new colours from Color Hues, together with a dash of inspiration from Hand Stamped Sentiments photo.… Read More nativity joy to the world
Welcome to my crafty blog and a nice & simple Christmas card – perfect for batchmaking. I used one of the images from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘peace to you’ set, inspired by the layout at The Paper Players and the ‘outdoor’ theme at Less is More I started with a 5×5 square kraft card blank (adaping… Read More peace at Christmas
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card in non-traditional colours. I’ve used one of the papers from Stampin’ Up!’s new ‘fitting florets’ pack, picking up the layout from CAS Colours & Sketches, the ‘festive’ theme from Inspire.Create and the middle row of christmas tree/sparkle/star from TicTacToe‘s grid. I thought the blue & pink… Read More starry tree
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new theme at Alphabet Challenge and it was my turn to choose it this time! We’re up to the letter P and I opted for ‘precious’. I thought this worked from two angles on this card – the Christ child is so precious for Christians around the world and… Read More P for precious at Alphabet Challenge
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for a new theme over at Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to the letter O and Billie has opted for ‘outer space’! Now I don’t have any space themed supplies, but I remembered the ‘hearty crescent moon’ set from Clarity which I thought would fit the bill from a slightly… Read More Alphabet Challenge – o for outer space

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! I decided to do something a bit different with the stamp, but first embossed a frame onto a square… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – Christmas tree
So another two weeks has gone by and we’ve got our next theme at Alphabet Challenge, where Dawn has chosen M for Magic. I haven’t used Clarity Crafts’ ‘fairy round’ stamps for some time and decided to go with the ‘daydream’ one for this card, picking up the colours from Color Throwdown and the layout… Read More Alphabet challenge – M for magic
Hello crfty frends. Sunday again, so here’s the next stamp from Clarity’s craft club last year – September’s ‘paisley’ image. I was looking at the inspiration photo at Inkspirational, and thought the paisley design would work on kraft card in place of the lace in the picture. I started by stamping the paisley pattern twice… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – paisley
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses a Claritystamp set that I’ve been meaning to get out again for some time – Tina’s doodle flowers. It’s got lots of little elements in it, and those birds are just so cute! I thought it would work well with the colours from the new challenge at Color Throwdown,… Read More happy birday!
