Welcome to my crafty blog and a birthday card using the new stencil and star dies from Julie` Hickey Designs. I did an online class with Julie recently, which gave me lots of inspiration with these. For this card, I’ve taken the colour palette from Color Throwdown and the theme from Time Out, who are… Read More happy birthday star
Hello crafty friends. I’m sharing a card today using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘delicate dahlias’ set that was a freebie as part of the last Sale-a-bration. I have to confess that I haven’t used this set very much, but I do like two-step stamps with outlines and infills. I’ve picked up the theme of ‘inspiration’ (for inspiration!)… Read More you inspire me
Hello crafty friends. Well it’s Sunday again so I’m dipping back into Claritystamp’s new design stamp club – today it’s for the ‘vintage phone’ from January 2018. I really wasn’t sure how best to use this stamp (it’s not my usual style), so adapted one of Dee Paramour’s designs from the project sheet that comes… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – vintage telephone #135
Hello crafty friends – just for a change I thought I’d share a Christmas card with you today (ha, ha!) This is a simple one layer card, using another of the Jayne Nestorenko ‘winter scene’ stamp sets from Claritystamp. I started by just stamping the cottage image straight onto a 5×5 kraft card blank, using… Read More Christmas cottage
Welcome to my crafty blog on a very grey and wet day in the UK. I’m so glad we went to the flower show yesterday – it wouldn’t have been much fun today with all this rain. I’m continuing on my floral theme, however, inspired by this week’s ‘flower power’ challenge at Global Design Project,… Read More flower power!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another card using Julie Hickey’s ‘sweet daisy’ stamp set – it’s such a pretty image. I was thinking about using again as my lawn has been absolutely full of daisies this month, thanks to all the rain we’ve had. My friend told me about ‘no mow May’ which has… Read More sweet daisy
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is a bit of a departure from my usual style, with the ‘chunky vintage car tag’ stamp from Crafty Individuals as the focal point. The starting point for this card was the current challenge of ‘very vintage’ over at TGIF, coupled with the sketch from As You See… Read More vintage
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with a new stamp set today that only arrived in the post this morning – Claritystamp’s ‘Love Heart Doodle’. It’s a gorgeous intricate design, and I decided it would look great embossed in white on kraft card. I started by stamping the ‘love’ word outline in Archival… Read More A love heart
So I’m back with two cards made from the April die in Claritystamp’s 2020 New Design Club – the countryside aperture. This is one die from the 2020 club that I have actually used previously (makes me feel a bit better!) I blogged it back in September – you can find it in my previous… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity – day 4 April ‘countryside’ aperture
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is for my father-in-law, who will be 95 on Christmas Eve! (don’t worry, he won’t be reading this blog so no risk of spoilers!). His cards are always a bit tricky, as he doesn’t have any specific hobbies or interests, so I thought this stamp set from Claritystamp… Read More Christmas birthday wishes
