Welcome to my crafty blog and another two-for-one post. This sweet teddy bear is from July 2018, and I have to confess is another stamp that’s not seen action until now! I need some more new baby cards in my stash, which seemed like the perfect theme. I started by stamping the bear in black… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – teddy bear #141
Welcome to my crafty blog. I managed to find some time to play with the new ‘more about the boys’ set designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs. I decided to start simple, as I needed a quick card – I’m looking forward to Julie & Hazel’s online workshops in a couple of weeks… Read More birthday star
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another wedding card (trying to get my stocks built up!). This one uses the January Craft Club stencil from Claritystamp – I decided to expand my club membership this year to include the stencils, and this one is a great start. I’ve taken inspiration from a few challenges for… Read More wedding day celebrations
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with a new stamp today – the ‘snowdrop’ is the January Craft Club stamp from Claritystamp.

I’ve taken the colours from the photo… Read More wedding day blessings

These cheeky chimps are from April 2018 and, I have to confess, aren’t just one that I hadn’t used – I’d actively avoided them! They are so far out of my usual comfort zone and style and I did debate just… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – chimps #138
Hello crafty friends. I decided to have another play with one of my new stencils from Claritystamp (it’s #22 from the Craft Club back issues) and as a result this is yet another card that has no stamping on it – for someone who is a confirmed stamper at heart I seem to be producing… Read More winter animals
Hello crafty friends. Well I’ve stepped away from dies for a minute as we’ve got a new theme over at the Alphabet Challenge. We’re onto the letter T and Lynda has chosen ‘trees’ for this one. I’ve added stencils to my Clarity Craft Club membership for the coming year, and decided to invest in a… Read More T is for trees
Hello crafty friends. Welcome to day 4 of my 12 Dies of Clarity personal challenge, and today it’s the turn of the ‘frilly embellishments’ dies designed by Linda Williams. These would obviously work well with parchment, but I’ve used them with cardstock to make sentiment toppers for my cards. For the first card, I attached… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity day 4 – frilly embellishments
Hello crafty friends. I decided to play with another of my new purchases today – this is the ginko stamp set that Claritystamp released last month & I finally succumbed to!
