I thought these two birds were perfect to… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – holly birds

Happy New Year, crafty friends! We’re starting 2023 with a new challenge over at Love to Craft and as always the theme is ‘anything goes’.

I started by cutting the die… Read More floral frame birthday

Hello crafty friends. Well, I’m continuing the poinsettia theme today, but without using a poinsettia stamp or die on this card! My Sunday dip back into Clarity’s craft club reached May 2020, which was a mandala die.

Hello there crafty friends. We’ve got a new letter over at Alphabet Challenge today, and Melanie has chosen Quilt as the theme for Q. I got this ‘quilting’ die from A Pocket Full of Happiness a while ago, so it was the obvious choice for today’s card.

I started with a square of white card and… Read More paper strips birthday
Hello there. Well, it’s Sunday again so I’ve gone back into my Caritystamp Craft Club goodies and today am using the ‘keep it simple’ stamp from April 2021.
