Hello crafty friends. I’m back today with a CAS card using a couple of the new bijou stamps from Claritystamp, which I picked up at their recent summer retreat. They’re really sweet small stamps, perfect for CAS cards, so I’ve picked up the themes from a couple of CAS challenges on this one. Addicted to… Read More bijou wishes
Welcome to my crafty blog and another throwback with a retired Stampin’ Up! set – ‘flourishing phrases’. I’ve always liked this floral spray from it, which I thought would sit well on one of my inky backgrounds (haven’t used one of those for a while). I had to get one out after I saw the… Read More an inky background
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for a new challenge over at Sparkles blog, where Caz has gone with ‘at the beach’ as this month’s theme. I’ve CASE’d a card I spotted on Pinterest, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘friends are like seashells’ set. I started by masking off a border around a piece of white card, then… Read More at the beach
Hello again! A second card today – this one is for a friend to send her 3 year old grandson who’s a big fan of construction vehicles! I got a new set of stamps & dies for this one, ‘farming fun’ by Newton’s Nook, which are just brilliant. I took the layout from CAS Colours… Read More birthday digger
Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a lovely afternoon crafting online with my sister – we were both playing with our latest goodies from Claritystamp’s craft club last month. These two cards were made with the ‘thinking of you panels’ stamps – a great set to make borders & frames with. I’ve used the new colours… Read More read & dream
Hello there! Well it’s Sunday again so here’s my weekly dip back into Claritystamp’s monthy craft club. I’ve been working through the 2020 stamps in order over recent weeks, and today should have used the July stamp. I don’t know why, but I’d convinced myself this ‘gothic key’ (from September) was the next in the… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – gothic key
Welcome to my crafty blog and my weekly dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club – this week it’s the ‘gemstone flowers’ stamp from June 2020. I don’t think it’s the easiest stamp to use and decided to just go with some of the flowers for this card. I have used the whole stamp previously –… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – gemstone flowers
Hello there – well it’s Sunday again so time for another dip back into the Claritystamp craft club back issues. Today I’m using the ‘wicker texture’ stamps from May 2020 – I didn’t find this one very easy to use, but it’s great for adding texture & colour to patterns. I have made a couple… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – wicker texture
Hello crafty friends. It’s Good Friday today, when Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus so I felt I should share an appropriate card. I’ve used a really old image from Claritystamp that I’ve had for years- the stained glass Easter window, which I don’t think is available anymore. I took the layout for this from… Read More easter garden
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a very CAS birthday card using one of Claritystamp’s ‘city skylines’ masks – can you guess which one?! I took the inspiration for this from AAA Cards‘ current theme of ‘along the edge + your country’. The London skyline is a pretty iconic image for the UK. I started… Read More London on the edge
