Hello crafty friends, I’ve got more sweet treats for you today! I’ve gone for mint choc icecreams on this card courtesy of Stampin’ Up!’s ‘share a milkshake’ set – my eldest son’s favourite flavour! I took inspiration from the sketch at The Paper Players, together with the moodboard from Inkspirational (they’ve got icecreams and chocolate… Read More mint choc icecream
Welcome to my crafty blog. Barbara Gray showcased Clarity’s ‘townhouse’ products the other day, so I thought it was time my die came out for an airing (plus I needed a ‘new home’ card!). I took the lovely colour palette from Creative Colour Challenges and teamed it with the layout at Freshly Made Sketches, adding… Read More happy home
Hello crafty friends. I’m delighted to have been invited along as Guest Designer for the new challenge colours at Color Throwdown. It’s a beautiful palette of pink, ice blue and gold. I was inspired by the Christmas trees in the photo, so reach for Stampin’ Up!’s ‘spruced up’ set. The first step was to stamp… Read More Guest designer for Color Throwdown #723
Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card with no ink or stamping on it (not my usual style!) I thought of Clarity’s Santa round aperture die when I saw the theme at The Paper Players and it works really well for the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. Inkspirational‘s theme of paper piecing was also… Read More paper pieced Santa
Hello there. Well it’s Sunday again so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s craft club, this time for the ‘just a little note’ die from June 2020. I thought I’d take a break from Christmas cards and make a start on a few thank you notes (yes, I am hoping for lots of lovely presents!) I… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – just a little note
Hello there. I’m back with a second card today, moving from the old to the new with the latest stamp from Clarity’s craft club. I had a great afternoon online with my sister & my crafting buddy, all using the same stamp but creating different designs. This is my offering, inspired by a few of… Read More peace on earth globe
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 and welcome to another Sunday dip back into Clarity’s craft club. This week it’s the friendship cats from November 2021 – it’s a great little art block stamp, but I have to say that when my cats are facing each other this way they’re not generally looking very friendly….! The first step… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – friendship
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. It’s Sunday again, so here’s the next in my journey back through Claritystamp’s Craft Club, with the ‘birthday wreath’ from July 2021. I need to make a couple of anniversary cards for friends, so thought this would give me a good start – there are lots of little hearts tucked into the… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – birthday wreath
