It’s Friday and time for our new theme at Alphabet Challenge – we’ve reached O and want to see your Ocean Animals! Lots of scope with this one, so I grabbed ‘Sam’s Bobbing Around’ set from ClarityCrafts – I really don’t like fish, but the expressions on this little shoal are just fab! I thought… Read More O for ocean animals at Alphabet Challenge
Hello there. This is the last of this run of Christmas cards for a little while, with the ‘snowflakes’ set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Tina’s Christmas Elements’ collection. This one was inspired by another of my Clarity design team buddies, Julie Dunn, who’s just brilliant at pattern building with stamps. I started with the snowflake tile stamp… Read More snowflake panel
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches – it’s always a sketch for the second one of the month and, as I’m still hosting, I got to design it!

Hello there! I thought I’d share one of the demos I’d got prepped for yesterday’s TV shows, but didn’t have time to get to. I love the contrast of the red bus against Clarity‘s London skyline mask (these are reusable thin laser-cut plastic adhesive masks and great for sponging ink through). It works perfectly for… Read More London

Hello craft friends. I’m back with another take on one of the new ‘doodleology’ postcards from ClarityCrafts, again using the ‘square’ design but this time with their ‘abstract layout 1’ die that was released a couple of weeks ago. I started by cutting the abstract layout die into black card and attached it to a 6×6… Read More Doodled with love
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for a new letter at Alphabet Challenge – we’ve reached W and Dawn has opted for ‘weddings’ as our theme. I’ve used one of the small stamps from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘doodleology heart’ set, which Barbara will be showcasing on Create & Craft TV tomorrow (Saturday). I started with a square of stencil card… Read More W for Wedding at Alphabet Challenge
Hello everyone! I hope you had a lovely Christmas Day, however you celebrate it. Once again, I’ve decided to work through this year’s Clarity Craft Club stamps over the 12 days of Christmas, starting here with #195 the ‘love is all you need border’ set from January. I’m still feeling festive, so decided to use one of the… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2023 – love is all you need border
