Well it’s a beautiful sunny weekend, so I wanted to share a card that captures the summery vibe using the re-released ‘daffodilly’ stamp set from ClarityCrafts. My watercolour background has the middle row of colours from Color Dare‘s tictactoe grid, and the card picks up the themes from Just Us Girls and Inkspirational. So, here… Read More happiness
Hello there! I thought I’d share one of the demos I’d got prepped for yesterday’s TV shows, but didn’t have time to get to. I love the contrast of the red bus against Clarity‘s London skyline mask (these are reusable thin laser-cut plastic adhesive masks and great for sponging ink through). It works perfectly for… Read More London
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new theme at Alphabet Challenge – we’ve now reached X and Caz has opted for Xtra Love Hearts on our cards.

I’m going… Read More X for Xtra Love Hearts at Alphabet Challenge
It’s time for our next theme at Sparkles Challenges and this time we’ve got ‘hearts and flowers’ to entice you! I didn’t have to think too hard about going with ‘Jazz’s just because – floral panels’ stamp set with this lovely heart of flowers. It also picks up the ‘all about love’ theme from Inspire.Create and the… Read More Sparkles challenge – hearts & flowers
Hello there! Today’s card is a first play with the new ‘infusions’ collage papers from ClarityCrafts. They’re a lighter weight (80gsm) than their designer papers and designed specifically for use on collages, although I’ve gone with paper piecing my stamped image, combining two of the new sets – ‘hibiscus’ and ‘chamomile’. I started with a piece of… Read More infusions papers
Hello crafty friends – I’m back after being missing for a couple of days. Today’s card uses the summer set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Linda’s bijou children through the seasons’. It does seem odd to be sharing this in the freezing UK temperatures, and I’m not sure I’d want to be up in a hot air balloon just at… Read More go with the flow
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another dip into the back issues of Clarity‘s stencil Craft Club – it’s been a few weeks since I last shared one of these! Today it’s #99 the ‘box work stencil’ which, I have to be honest, hadn’t seen any ink until now! I was inspired by Jilly Clifton’s design on… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – box work stencil
Hello crafty friends and welcome to day 11 of my 12 Days of Clarity, working back through their Craft Club from last year. We’re nearly there – today I’ve got the ‘wrapped up in lace’ stamp from November to share with you, taking inspiration from the moodboard at Inkspirational ( although I’ve used kraft card rather… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2023 – November
Hello crafty friends and welcome to day 2 of my 12 Days of Clarity, today with the ‘it’s a wrap heart’ stamp from Clarity‘s Craft Club back in February (#196). It’s a beautiful image so didn’t need too much adding to it and I thought it would work perfectly for a wedding card. I decided to… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2023 – heart
