Hello crafty friends. I’ve got a card today that I made a little while ago when the ‘Just woodland & birds silhouette’ stamps were launched by ClarityCrafts, teaming up with the ‘olive branch’ stencil.

Hello crafty friends. My new ‘leafy overlay stencils’ from ClarityCrafts arrived at the weekend, so they just had to come out for a first play!

Hello crafty friends. Well, I’ve really gone for it with a couple of ClarityCrafts stencils on this card for the our new masculine theme at Sparkles Challenge!

I’m going… Read More X for Xtra Love Hearts at Alphabet Challenge
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses one of the new ‘doodleology’ postcards from ClarityCrafts – these co-ordinate with their existing collection of stamps & stencils. I’ve used the ‘square’ design postcard for this offering, cutting the card along one of the curves for my landscape. First, though, I created the sunrise on my card using the ‘sunshine’… Read More sunrise landscape
Hello crafty friends – I’m back after being missing for a couple of days. Today’s card uses the summer set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Linda’s bijou children through the seasons’. It does seem odd to be sharing this in the freezing UK temperatures, and I’m not sure I’d want to be up in a hot air balloon just at… Read More go with the flow
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another dip into the back issues of Clarity‘s stencil Craft Club – it’s been a few weeks since I last shared one of these!

Hello crafty friends! Well, it’s finally Christmas Eve and as it’s Sunday I’ve dipped back into Clarity‘s Craft Club for the next stencil in my series – although it’s a floral pattern one it felt right to turn it to a Christmas theme with the colours from Just Add Ink, which also picks up the challenge… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – flower confetti stencil
