Hello crafty friends and welcome to the last day of my Christmas journey back through Claritystamp’s 2021 die Craft Club. Today it’s the ‘abstract snowflake’ from December, which arrived just before Christmas (so I don’t feel I have to apologise for not having used it before now!) It’s larger than the usual club dies, but… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity day 12 – abstract snowflake
Hello crafty friends. Who doesn’t love a cup of hot chocolate? I decided to christen my ‘nothing’s better than’ stamp set from Stampin’ Up!, picking up the themes from the challenges at Inspired by and Inkspirational I attached a piece of brown polka dot paper form my stash to the front of an A6 card… Read More hot chocolate!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s Christmas card uses the stockings stamp set, one of Claritystamp’s ‘Christmas rounds’. I’ve gone for a slightly less traditional colour scheme on this card with the grey, but I rather like it. I took inspiration from three current challenges – the photo over at Just Add Ink, the layout… Read More Christmas stockings
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time using a couple of Clarity stamps that I’ve had for years (from back when they came pre-mounted onto Clarity’s curved handles). They have several of these framer word stamps, although I’m not sure that this is still available. I might have got a bit… Read More nativity joy

I’ve… Read More a Jurassic birthday!

Welcome to my crafty blog, and a very simple card today with this happy little bee from Claritystamp (I know you can’t see his face but he is smiling!). I’ve teamed him with stamps from the ‘happy grunge elements’ set – although I’m with Barbara Gray in that I can only do ‘clean’ grunge! I… Read More a happy bee
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into Claritystamp’s new design club – this time it’s the ‘follow your dreams’ stamp from August 2015. I’ve combined it with the ‘fly away’ stamp set (I love the energy in the boy taking off into the sky). I started by cutting… Read More claritystamp new design club lookback – follow your dreams #106
Welcome to my crafty blog – I’m back after a couple of days offline. Life got very busy and I just ran out of steam, but I’ve managed to have a lovely afternoon making cards with a friend so all is now good in my crafty world! I decided to make another early Christmas card… Read More holly joy
