Hello crafty friends. I’m still on Christmas cards and have a nice quick one to share today, inspired by a couple of challenges. The theme over at Inspired by is ‘winter beauty’ and I drew on their photo and sketch for the design of this card, together with The Paper Players‘s theme of ‘winter wonderland’… Read More winter beauty
Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a busy day today out Christmas shopping (got it all virtually done!) so I thought I’d share a more general card today for a bit of balance. Regular readers of this little blog will know that ‘Tina’s floral spray’ from Claritystamp is one of my all-time favourites, and I decided… Read More birthday floral spray
Hello crafty friends – well I’m back to Christmas cards today! This time I’ve once again used the retired ‘wreath builder’ dies from Stampin’ Up! – I still find it odd when I produce cards that don’t use ink or stamping (apart from a tiny bit for the sentiment.) I’ve picked up inspiration from a… Read More merry little Christmas
Hello crafty friends – time for another Christmas card today as I’m getting my stash well and truly ready for posting! Today’s card uses one of the Claritystamp winter scenes sets drawn by Jayne Nestorenko. I think these are just beautiful – and they work for other occasions as well (this would make a great… Read More Christmas church scene
Hello crafty friends. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into the Claritystamp new design club – this time for the ‘we go together…’ sentiment from July 2017. I’ve picked up the theme and sketch from this week’s challenge at Inspired by (this sentiment definitely says ‘friendship’ to me), together with the centre row… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – we go together #129
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another late evening blog. I just can’t seem to get myself organised to share my cards earlier in the day! Today’s card uses one of the Christmas rounds dies from Claritystamp – I bought it last year and hadn’t used it so far so it definitely deserved an outing!… Read More Christmas Santa
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Sunday delve back into Claritystamp’s new design club back catalogue. It’s a bit of a contrast from yesterday’s cards, when I was using the most recent Craft Club stamps – the butterfly on today’s card is from April 2017. I’ve taken inspiration from a couple of current blog… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – butterfly #126
Welcome to my crafty blog and a Christmas card today. I haven’t shared any Christmas ones for a little while, so thought I’d better crack on with a few more. This card uses Julie Hickey’s ‘oh Christmas tree’ stamp, inspired by the current challenge over at Inspired by (!) I’ve taken a bit of a… Read More oh Christmas tree!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has got some rather unusual holly on it – I decided to use autumn colours, and I have to say I quite like the effect! I was inspired to try this by the photo on this week’s Inspired by challenges and the layout of the leaves immediately made… Read More autumn holly?
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another blast from the past with a card made using one of the very first Stampin’ Up! stamp sets I ever bought – the ‘flower shop’. I’m still catching up with all the blog challenges after my holiday and this card ticks another two from the list. I’ve gone… Read More flower shop thank you
