Hello there – I’m back with an autumn birthday card today using the leaf die from Julie HIckey’s ‘delightful daisy’ set. I thought they’d work well with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches, picking up the right hand column from TicTacToe‘s grid. I’m also sharing it with Can You Handle The Pressure – I’ve embossed… Read More autumn leaves
Well it’s time for a new theme over at Sparkles Challenge and Dawn has opted for ‘mushrooms & fungi’, which feels very appropriate for autumn. I had to rack my brains for this one as I don’t have any stamps with mushrooms or toadstool, but then I remembered a couple of pieces of an old… Read More Sparkles challenge – mushrooms & fungi
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got a lot of September birthdays to make cards for so I took a break from the Christmas cards today to make a start.

They are so far out of my usual comfort zone and style and I did debate just… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – chimps #138
Hello crafty friends. Well, I decided that I really need to start using up some of the stash of designer papers I’ve got stored on my craft shelves – both of these cards use the new ‘Eden’s Garden’ series from Stampin’ Up! I’ve made two cards as the sketches at TGIF challenges and Inspire.Create are… Read More eden’s garden
Hello crafty friends. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into the Claritystamp new design club – this time for the ‘we go together…’ sentiment from July 2017.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has got some rather unusual holly on it – I decided to use autumn colours, and I have to say I quite like the effect! I was inspired to try this by the photo on this week’s Inspired by challenges and the layout of the leaves immediately made… Read More autumn holly?
