Hello crafty friends – today I’m sharing a birthday card using Julie Hickey’s ‘weathered wood’ designer paper and one of her sentiment circle stamps. I took the layout from the sketch over at As You See It, together with a couple of elements from Just Add Ink‘s ‘choose two’ theme (circle and twine) I started… Read More dandy diagonals
Hello crafty friends. Today’s post is a bit less rushed, with a new theme from the Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to the letter U and Billie has chosen ‘unequal’. Essentially our cards need to have items of different sizes, eg a large and a small flower. I’ve gone for Julie Hickey’s large ‘happy’ sentiment… Read More U for unequal
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. Unusually today I don’t have a card to share with you, instead I’ve made a gift wallet that one of my sons will be receiving with a nice surprise inside. It’s really easy to make and I was prompted to think of it by the current challenge at Just Add Ink. I… Read More Christmas gift wallet
Hello crafty friends. Bit of a late post today – I’ve had a lovely evening out with friends at a local garden owned by the Royal Horticultural Society that was all lit up for Christmas. It was so beautiful, despite the cold. It’s been a busy day all round, as I also joined an online… Read More fresh floral happy
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for our next theme at Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to R and Debbie has opted for cards and projects that are red.
