Hello crafty friends. I’ve delved back into my folder of inky mop-up pieces for the background piece on this card and teamed it with what I think is my favourite stamp from Clarity’s 2021 Craft Club – I just love this little landscape. The starting point for this card was an easy choice, as the… Read More another inky background
Hello crafty friends. No Christmas card today – it’s Sunday so I’ve dipped back into the Clarity Craft Club back issues for the dandelion stamp from September 2017. The Clarity team have shared some desperately sad news this weekend as Ani, one of their designers, has died after a very short illness. She was not… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – dandelion #131
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got a simple Christmas card to share today using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘merriest frames’ & co-ordinating embossing folder. It was quite quick to make (once I’d figured the design out!)

This time I’ve chosen to just use the lilac flowers from the set, inspired by the photo at Just Us Girls. I’ve teamed it up with Joanne’s sketch from The Paper… Read More lilac birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog and a birthday card using autumn colours that a friend asked me to make for her daughter. I’ve CASE’d (copy and selectively edit) a design from Julie Hickey that I did in one of her online classes, so obviously have used her stamps for this (it would have been rude… Read More autumn flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve just got a quick post this evening, with another clean & simple card, using WOW’s ‘confetti circle’ stencil. I’ve actually managed to combine three challenges for this card – Less is More have gone with a one layer card & spots, and I combined it with the colours in… Read More have a lovely day
Welcome to my crafty blog, and some stamps from Claritystamp that I’ve had for a while but only recently started to use – the ‘hats 2’ set. I thought it would work well with the inspiration photo from Time Out challenges, and the colours from Just Us Girls were ideal. I started with one of… Read More friends are the family you get to choose
Welcome to my crafty blog. I had meant to share this card yesterday, but spent the day in central London with my sister and just ran out of time… It is so lovely to have the Covid restrictions easing – we even went to the theatre (wearing masks, of course) for the first time two… Read More black & white butterfly
