Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card features a Claritystamp that I haven’t used in a while, the ‘funky foliage’. I took the colours from Just Us Girls with the inspiration photo from The Card Concept (although you may think my interpretation of it is a bit left field…!) I started with a background piece… Read More funky tulips
Welcome to my crafty blog and something a bit different from my usual style. I do love a good cup of coffee, so thought of ‘Linda Williams’ coffee quartet’ stamps from Clarity when I saw the moodboard over at Just Us Girls. I’m also sharing it with Just Add Ink, as coffee and friends are… Read More coffee and friends
Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for a die that I’m ashamed to say has sat in my stash for some time now! I decided it would work well for the current challenge at Global Design Project, where the task is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the card designed by Connie.… Read More dandelions die cut
Welcome to my crafty blog and a card that I’m still in two minds about! I decided to use Clarity’s ‘Jayne’s winter scene – church’ for this card based on the sketch from TGIF challenges (which I rotated), picking up the top row from TicTacToe‘s grid. I started by creating an inky background. I’m really… Read More Christmas blessings

I’ve picked… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – leafy triangle
Welcome to my crafty blog and another throwback with a retired Stampin’ Up! set – ‘flourishing phrases’. I’ve always liked this floral spray from it, which I thought would sit well on one of my inky backgrounds (haven’t used one of those for a while). I had to get one out after I saw the… Read More an inky background
Welcome – it’s time for a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge! We’re up to H and Veronika has opted for ‘holidays’ as our theme. Now this can mean different things – Christmas or a vacation. I’ve tried to combine both with this stamp from Claritystamp, which made me think of skiing holidays as… Read More H for holidays
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
Hello there! Having shared a brand new purchase yesterday, I’m back with my Sunday dip into Claritystamp’s Craft Club back issues and today it’s the ‘sing your song’ stamp from November 2020. This is such a cheerful little stamp! I started by stamping the bird & trees onto white card using ‘black soot’ Distress Oxide,… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – sing your song
