Hello crafty friends. I’ve got another sample using the new ‘woodland treescape overlay‘ stencils from ClarityCrafts today – and this time I actually did overlay them! This card is about as grungy as I get (it’s still essentially CAS, just lots of inky colour), picking up the tones from AAA Colourful‘s board, the layering theme… Read More trio of trees
Hello again. I’m back to showcase some more bargains in this weekend’s Celebration of Crafting sale over at ClarityCrafts! You’ll have noticed over the last few weeks that I do love the Poppets stamps, so now meet Pearl, one of the mini Christmas Poppets, who’s happily sitting in a snowglobe. I thought the tones from… Read More poppet snowglobe
Hello crafty friends! ClarityCrafts have got a very timely offer on their ‘Merry Little Christmas Quotes’ stamps this week as we all start to ramp up our seasonal card making, so I thought I’d give mine a run out, paired with the bobble hat from ‘Jim’s Christmas jumper accessories’ set. I went for a rather… Read More Christmas hat
Hello friends. I’ve got a bit of a look back to the ‘bijou linocut’ stamps from ClarityCrafts that were launched earlier this year. I love this poppies set – in fact all the stamps in the collection are produced from original linocuts by Barbara Gray (she’s so talented!) I’ve picked up a few challenge themes… Read More poppy remember
Hello there. It’s a beautiful sunny Sunday here and I’ve been catching a bit of the Olympics coverage, but this card is in homage to another major news item from this week – the devastating wildfire in Jasper, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. We were there only last month, and it’s dreadful to think that… Read More woodland sympathy
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 remembered that I’d got the ‘nested square lace heart frames’ die set last year, which hadn’t yet seen action, so this was the perfect opportunity! 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
