Hello everyone – Sunday again and another cold day in the UK. Despite that, though, I saw a couple of bluetits in my garden this week – they may be an early sign of spring! That prompted me to get Clarity Crafts‘ ‘garden birds & cherry blossom‘ stamps out – I haven’t played with these… Read More trio of bluetits
Hello everyone. I’m trying to stick to my ambition of one Christmas card each week, and I suddenly realised it’s Friday and I hadn’t sorted this week’s offering! Fortunately, I’d arranged a crafting session with a friend this afternoon, so whipped out ‘Linda’s Winter Wishes‘ stamp set from Clarity Crafts – the trees work really… Read More three trees
Hello crafty friends.

I’ve pulled out stencil #110 ‘wise old oak‘ to create a little landscape scene using the palette from Color Dare and the sketch from AAA Cards. I decided… Read More old oak stencil
Happy Happy Christmas Day everyone! Just a quick post today to spread good wishes with this card I made using ClarityCrafts ‘miniature nativity’ stamps and the ‘highland treescape’ mask set, using colours that reflect the Middle East. A quick rundown on my process – I laid the ‘highland treescape’ masks onto a small square of… Read More Christmas nativity
Hello friends – here we are at Christmas Eve and just one more sleep to go! Obviously, I ahd to share another seasonal card with you, this time using ClarityCrafts ‘trees and their mantles‘, inspired by the layout at Freshly Made Sketches and the tones at Color Hues. I’ve gone a bit left field with… Read More one more sleep…
Hello friends. I expect I’ll soon stop making Christmas cards to share, but not just yet, so here’s another one to tempt you!
