Welcome to my crafty blog. Well, I’ve had a fabulous day today at the Claritystamp Open Day down in Kent – my first major craft event since the arrival of Covid! So much inspiration from Barbar Gray & the Clarity design team (and maybe a bit of shopping as well…!) Of course, I had to… Read More woodland ivy
Hello there! I’ve got a very quick and simple card to share with you today, using the Stampin’ Up! ‘textures and frames’ set from last year’s Saleabration. I haven’t used it very much, but it came to mind when I saw the inspiration photo from Just Us Girls. I’ve also used the ‘one layer &… Read More a little note
Hello crafty friends and welcome to the last day of my Christmas journey back through Claritystamp’s 2021 die Craft Club. Today it’s the ‘abstract snowflake’ from December, which arrived just before Christmas (so I don’t feel I have to apologise for not having used it before now!) It’s larger than the usual club dies, but… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity day 12 – abstract snowflake
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.

For the first card, I attached… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity day 4 – frilly embellishments
Hello crafty friends. I thought I’d better make a start on some thank you cards, now all the Christmas ones are sorted!

Never mind, it’s the thought that counts as they say, so here’s a thank you card I’ve made using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘art gallery’ set and ‘expressions in ink’ paper. The current challenge at Festive Friday picks up World… Read More just a thank you
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses a set from the current Stampin’ Up! annual catalogue that I haven’t used for a few months – the ‘birds and branches’. I think these little birds are so sweet, and they work for lots of different occasions. I’m getting back into the swing of combining blog… Read More two bluebirds
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another blast from the past with a card made using one of the very first Stampin’ Up! stamp sets I ever bought – the ‘flower shop’. I’m still catching up with all the blog challenges after my holiday and this card ticks another two from the list. I’ve gone… Read More flower shop thank you
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘plentiful plants’ set. Thank you cards are always useful to have in my stash, so this week’s theme at Global Design Project was very helpful. I’ve used the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown palette, and also picked up the task from Inspired by‘s… Read More gratitude
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has a bit more of an autumnal feel – I picked up the challenge theme of ‘harvest’ from Just Us Girls with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘painted harvest’ set from a few years ago. I thought that would work well with this week’s colour palette from The Paper Players The… Read More thankful for you
