Hello crafty friends. It’s time for another letter over at the Alphabet Challenge and we’re now up to V. I’m excited to be hosting the challenge this time and I’ve chosen ‘vehicle’ – I thought it gave lots of options for everyone I love the little car in Stampin’ Up!’s ‘coming home’ set – it… Read More V for vehicle
Hello crafty friends. I decided to have another play with one of my new stencils from Claritystamp (it’s #22 from the Craft Club back issues) and as a result this is yet another card that has no stamping on it – for someone who is a confirmed stamper at heart I seem to be producing… Read More winter animals
Hello crafty friends. Today’s Christmas card was inspired by the new challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches, which is a combination of colours and a sketch as it was the fifth Tuesday in the month. I decided to go with a mixture of Claritystamps – I love it when different sets work well together. I… Read More joyful nativity
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. Today’s card is a masculine one, using Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ aperture die. I love the way this cuts the scene into the card – I’ve got the matching stamp as well (I am a stamper at heart) but this die gives such a brilliant sharp outline. I’ve taken inspiration for this one from… Read More amazing day
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time using a couple of Clarity stamps that I’ve had for years (from back when they came pre-mounted onto Clarity’s curved handles). They have several of these framer word stamps, although I’m not sure that this is still available. I might have got a bit… Read More nativity joy
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another late post. On the upside, I’ve had a lovely day having lunch with friends., so I’m not complaining! I grabbed some time for a quick play with a new Christmas stamp set from Clarity – the ‘Clarity Charity Trees’. I decided it was perfect for a (fairly) simple… Read More Words Christmas tree
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been having a quick play this evening after another day spent online in a work meeting – it’s so nice to step away from it all and just create something. Barbara Gray from Claritystamp was on The Craft Store today – I’ve just been watching her on catch-up and got inspired… Read More What is this life…
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a second post today (I’m really getting back into the blogging groove now!) It’s Sunday and so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s new design club again, this time for the heron stamp from March 2017. I have to confess, this is another that’s pushed my out of my comfort… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – heron #125
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is a return to one of my favourite sets – the retired ‘beautiful friendship’ from Stampin’ Up! 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
