Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to CaSE (copy and selectively edit) a previous card I made with the Stampin’ Up! ‘arrange a wreath’ set – here’s my original Easter wreaths. This time I’ve added an extra wreath under the flowers and completed the circle, using the colours from this week’s challenge at TGIF.… Read More a wreath of flowers
Welcome to my craft blog. I decided to get my Claritystamp background stamps out today for another airing, after watching Barbara Gray earlier on selly telly. They’ve brought these stamps out in new shapes (which are now on my wish list) but I’ve gone with the large square one for this card. I also took… Read More ombre treescape
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with masks again today (and not the facial type!) My new ‘city skylines’ masks from Claritystamp arrived last week and I wanted to do some more cards using the ‘riverside landscape reflection’ set as well, so you’ve got a two-for-one offer today on this little blog.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card really picks up the spring vibe – I think these flowers from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘A touch of ink’ set look like crocuses once they’re coloured yellow. I’ve managed to combine three blog challenges for today’s card – the layout is inspired by the sketch at The Paper Players,… Read More spring wishes
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m a bit late with today’s post – it’s been a pretty full on day, but I’m now finally sat down with a coffee to write this. I’ve used the new ‘Friends are like seashells’ stamps & dies from Stampin’ Up for today’s offering. I wasn’t really sure how best… Read More friends are like seashells…
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve finally managed to get myself into gear and start making my Easter cards – am cutting it a bit fine as they’ll need to be posted next week! Stampin’ Up! has got some great sets for religious cards at Easter (I don’t do bunnies and eggs…), and today’s card… Read More He is risen!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the little stamp set from Claritystamp’s February Craft Club. My sister and my craft buddy are both club members as well, so we now get together online at the beginning of each month to craft with the latest club stamps.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses another of the new stamp sets I recently got – this time the ‘corner bouquet’, one of the Sale-A-Bration packs from Stampin’ Up!
