Welcome to my crafty blog and a birthday card using the new stencil and star dies from Julie` Hickey Designs. I did an online class with Julie recently, which gave me lots of inspiration with these. For this card, I’ve taken the colour palette from Color Throwdown and the theme from Time Out, who are… Read More happy birthday star
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge and we’re on to X. Not an easy one, but Veronika has come up with ‘xanthic’, which means tending towards yellow (no, I didn’t know that either!). For me, yellow immediately said honey and bees (a real favourite), so… Read More X is for xanthic
Welcome to my crafty bog and another card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘plentiful plants’ set. I feel like I’ve really got my eye in with these stamps & dies now, so keep going back to them. I thought they’d work really well with the colours from Inspire.Create and I’ve added in the ‘make your own stencil’… Read More birthday plants
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, 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 thought the colour palette from As You See It would work really well for this, and I’ve used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches I started with the background, and… Read More snowdrop
Hello crafty friends. Bit of a change today – I need to make some more wedding cards, so thought it best to make a start. I’ve used this ‘dove heart’ stencil from Claritystamp quite a few times – it’s a perfect image for wedding, anniversary or engagement cards. I’ve taken the colours from the photo… Read More wedding day blessings
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another dip back into the Claritystamp craft club. 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
