Hello friends – I’m back today with our new sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches which runs for the next two weeks. I decided to use another of the SHAC floral panel sets today, this time the Scots pine – love these classic images. Both Inspire.Create challenges and AAA Birthday have got masculine themes at… Read More CAS Colours & Sketches 556 – a new sketch
Hello crafty friends. I’m sitting firmly in my happy CAS space with today’s card using the fab little Swiss Cheese plant (otherwise known as a monstera) from set 1 of Clarity‘s brand new ‘potted plants‘ stamps. Now, as you know, it’s Japan month over at Clarity and I was trying to think how I could… Read More ‘Japanese tricolor’ monstera plant
Hello friends. I’ve got an older stamp to share with you from Clarity Crafts‘ extensive range (and their Members’ Half Price Sale is still going strong if you belong to one of their Craft Clubs!) This is the ‘garden heart‘ stamp, which has a lovely intricate design. I’ve made it into a wedding card, which… Read More garden heart
Hello there! It’s time for this month’s sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and Rachel’s design gave me a good excuse (like I needed one!) to crack open another of the new ‘build a wreath’ stamp sets from Clarity Crafts.

I’ve been in full Christmas mode this week, making additional cards to sell having sold virtually all of the ones I’d previously made to support funds for my church (it’s a nice problem to have!) I stayed in my happy CAS place for this one (it’s great for batch… Read More a Christmas robin

Hello crafty friends. I’ve got a more thoughtful vibe on today’s card using ClarityCrafts ‘just woodland & birds’ stamp set with one of the Quotes stamps. Barbara Gray is running a ‘craftalong’ this evening on Facebook & YouTube using this set and the abstract die that was launched at the same time, so I’m hoping… Read More woodland days
Hello crafty friends. I’ve revisited ClarityCrafts ‘birch trees’ stamp set for today’s card, picking up a few of the prompts from Festive Friday (clean & simple, card, stamps & a ‘for you’ sentiment – I think the blessing counts on that one!). As it’s a CAS style, I’m also going to share it with Simply… Read More birch tree blessings
Hello friends. I’m back again with a sneaky peek at some new products that ClarityCrafts are launching tomorrow (Sunday) – these fab 8×8 stripe stencils (there’s a set of plaid ones as well). I’ve kept it simple with this one (my favourite approach!), just using the stencil in the background of a masked panel, inspired… Read More fly away boy
