Welcome to my crafty blog – I’m back in my comfort zone today with this floral birthday card, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘artistically inked’ stamp set. The Paper Players have got a tic tac toe board for their challenge this week, so I went straight down the left hand column with feminine-birthday-florals (thank you very much,… Read More happy birthday panel
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m busy batch making Christmas cards and thought I’d share one of them with you today – I’ve been using the ‘peace framer’ stamp from Claritystamp. I really like this series of stamps, as you can put little scenes inside the large letters, which gives lots of potential variety. I… Read More Peace
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve just got a quick post this evening, with another clean & simple card, using WOW’s ‘confetti circle’ stencil. I’ve actually managed to combine three challenges for this card – Less is More have gone with a one layer card & spots, and I combined it with the colours in… Read More have a lovely day
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so time for the next instalment in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club. This week we’re up to November 2015 and the ‘acorns’ stamp (another one I haven’t actually used until now!). I haven’t made a card with a masked panel for ages and I thought… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – acorns #109

I used Distress Oxides in ‘mowed lawn’… Read More birthday messages

It’s always exciting to see what my fellow design team members have made, but we love to see your… Read More K is for kindness
Welcome to my crafty blog and a card for a friend who’s celebrating his birthday this weekend – and I do know that he’s partial to a cheeky little glass of red wine! Stampin’ Up!’s retired ‘half full’ stamp set was perfect for the job, and I took inspiration from this week’s sketch over at… Read More a glass of wine
Welcome to my crafty blog, and some stamps from Claritystamp that I’ve had for a while but only recently started to use – the ‘hats 2’ set. I thought it would work well with the inspiration photo from Time Out challenges, and the colours from Just Us Girls were ideal. I started with one of… Read More friends are the family you get to choose
Welcome to my crafty blog and a quick post this evening for two reasons – first because I’m very late sharing this, and secondly because I forgot to take photos during the process! And it’s only Monday…! I’m playing along with two of this week’s challenges with this card. The layout is courtesy of the… Read More happy feathers!
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card, thanks to the ‘holly bells’ stamp from the October 2015 new design club. This is another one I have to confess that I haven’t used until now, probably because it would need shading, which has never been my strong point. I’m so grateful for Barbara Gray’s… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – holly bells #108
