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
Well here we are at Friday again and already over halfway through January already! I broke out a new set of stamps today that only dropped through my letterbox yesterday! I was delighted to win one of the prizes at CAS Colours & Sketches‘ 500th blog challenge – a stamp set of my choice from… Read More purrfect day
Hello crafty friends – here we are reaching the mid-point of my 12 Days of Clarity with the ‘thinking of you panels’ stamps from June’s Craft Club. I kept it very CAS (clean and simple) for this one – my favourite style! I strated with a square of white card and stamped the leafy strip… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2022 – thinking of you panels
Welcome to my crafty blog and a rare occasion when I share something that’s not a card, thanks to Just Add Ink‘s theme this week. I usually make the tage for my presents by die cutting them from the previous year’s Christmas cards (a great way to recycle), but I needed something a bit more… Read More Christmas tag
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been making more cards with Julie Hickey’s ‘sent with love’ envelope stamp, inspired by Phillipa Lewis’ recent online tutorial. I love the idea of stamping only part of the image – it makes stamps much more versatile. I’ve taken the colours from Just Add Ink and will also share it with… Read More birthday love and laughter
Welcome to my crafty blog and another last minute challenge offering. Just Add Ink‘s theme is to ‘choose two’ and it probably doesn’t need explaining that I went for deer & trees! I’m also linking it up with Time Out‘s ‘winter’ challenge I’ve used the Clarity ‘riverside landscape reflection’ masks, starting with a piece of… Read More wintery morning
Hello there. Well it’s Sunday again so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s craft club, this time for the ‘just a little note’ die from June 2020. I thought I’d take a break from Christmas cards and make a start on a few thank you notes (yes, I am hoping for lots of lovely presents!) I… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – just a little note
Hello crafty friends. I’ve gone for stencilling on today’s card, using sponges and the ‘poppies’ stencil from Clarity Crafts. I picked up the colours from Just Add Ink, and I’ll also share it with Happy Little Stampers for their stencil challenge and Seize the Birthday (although I haven’t used their optional ‘topping’ of halloween colours)… Read More poppy stencil
Hello crafty friends – here we are with my usual Sunday trip back into Clarity’s craft club. The die from February 2020 was this funky tulip, which I thought would work well with this week’s challenge from Just Add Ink. I’ve gone for silhouette and day from their ‘choose two’ theme. I’ve also picked up… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – funky tulip
Hello crafty friends. I’m a bit late posting this evening (I’ve been out to dinner with a friend I haven’t seen for several years), but didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share this card that I’ve made with one of the brand new sets from Julie Hickey Designs that were only released on Friday!… Read More envelope of flowers
