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. I’m back today with a card for friends who’ll be celebrating their wedding anniversary soon. I’ve combined three challenges for this one – the colours from Global Design Project, the theme of ‘summer’ from Just Add Ink and Time Out‘s topic of ‘in love’. I thought Global Design Project’s colours were perfect… Read More butterfly love
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. I’m back with another one of Julie Hickey’s stamps today – this time the half sunflower from her ‘be happy’ set. It’s such a great image and so easy to use. I’ve taken inspiration from a couple of challenges for this one – the colour palette is from Color Throwdown and the… Read More pink sunflower
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.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses several Clarity stamps, including two for the background. I haven’t used these ones much, but got inspired following Barbara Gray’s live demo last Friday evening. I based this card on two current blog challenges – the layout picks up the new sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches… Read More pink poppies
Welcome to my crafty blog and another rare occasion when there is no stamping at all on my card! I was inspired by the theme over at Just Add Ink to use one of Claritystamp’s ‘skyscape’ dies – I went with New York which is so iconic. I started with a black 5×5 card blank… Read More new york sunrise
welcome to my crafty blog – I’m just getting back into back into the blogging habit after my holiday last week. There’s always so much to do when you get back from a week away! I have got a long list of cards that need making though, so today I got on with making my… Read More football birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so time for the next instalment in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club. This week we’re up to November 2015 and the ‘acorns’ stamp (another one I haven’t actually used until now!). I haven’t made a card with a masked panel for ages and I thought… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – acorns #109
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card, thanks to the ‘holly bells’ stamp from the October 2015 new design club. This is another one I have to confess that I haven’t used until now, probably because it would need shading, which has never been my strong point. I’m so grateful for Barbara Gray’s… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – holly bells #108
