Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses several Clarity stamps, including two for the background. I haven’t used these ones much, but got inspired following Barbara Gray’s live demo last Friday evening. I based this card on two current blog challenges – the layout picks up the new sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches… Read More pink poppies
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve had a lovely afternoon crafting online with my sister and friend – we’re all members of Claritystamp’s Craft Club, so get together once a month to play with the latest club stamp. What I really love is that we all make very different cards despite using the same stamp.… Read More girl power
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m a bit late posting today, so this will just be a quick one. I’ve used Stampin’ Up!’s ‘forever ferns’ set with the colour scheme from Color Throwdown and the layout from Freshly Made Sketches I stamped the leaves and berries from the set across the bottom corner of a… Read More you always have a way
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the ‘friendship flower’ stamp set by Julie Hickey and the layout sketch from Fusion card challenge. I also took inspiration from Fusion’s photo with the red flowers (although these are clearly not poppies) and added in the elements from the diagonal on TicTacToe‘s grid – scoring, stripes… Read More red and stripes
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. I’m delighted to have been invited to be the Guest Designer for AAA Cards‘ 200th challenge! It’s no surprise then that the theme for the new challenge is ‘celebrate’ and I resurrected another one of my older stamp sets (Stampin’ Up!’s ‘hello cupcake’) that had the perfect sentiment. Having said… Read More celebrate your day
Welcome to my crafty blog and a card with a new stamp set that arrived earlier this week – Stampin’ Up!’s ‘delicate dahlias’. I’ve been using quite a few of my older sets recently after tidying my craft shelves, so thought I’d ring the changes with this one. I took the layout from the current… Read More dahlias
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
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has got some rather unusual holly on it – I decided to use autumn colours, and I have to say I quite like the effect! I was inspired to try this by the photo on this week’s Inspired by challenges and the layout of the leaves immediately made… Read More autumn holly?
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so here’s the next in my personal challenge working back though my issues of Clarity’s new design club stamps. This week it’s the labradors from February 2017, who are getting an first outing. I always avoided these kind of stamps in the past, as I found it difficult… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – labradors #124
