Hello everyone. Well I’ve stepped right out of my CAS comfort zone today with more of a mixed media approach to this card, using the latest (January) stencil from Clarity‘s Craft Club, which makes it perfect for the current challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More. I took inspiration from one of the cards on… Read More Craft Club – bird on a branch stencil

Hello friends. Well, true to my word, here’s a card with the stencil from last month’s Clarity Craft Club and I’m afraid it’s another Christmas card!

I do love the rich effect you get from gilding flakes – perfect for Christmas cards. The stencilled surround picks… Read More star window die
Hello there! Time for our next theme at Alphabet Challenge and we’re now up to R for Round. I’m still playing with the fab ‘letterbox gnomes’ from Clarity Crafts – you met Gnorman a couple of days ago, so now meet his bestie Gnorbert! I’ve sat him inside one of the ‘Christmas Rounds’ stencils to… Read More R for round at Alphabet Challenge
Hello friends. I got struck down by a migraine yesterday, hence the lack of a post, but I’m going to make up for it with two today! This first offering uses one of the fantastic ‘Twas the night‘ stamps from ClarityCrafts that Barbara Gray is showcasing over on their YouTube channel today. I’ve used the… Read More hang the stockings
