Hello crafty friends. I’ve made a start on cards for Father’s Day – the English cricket season started this month so this die from Tattered Lace seemed a good starting point. I’ve used the sketch from TGIF for the layout, and managed to pick up two sections of TicTacToe‘s grid as well! The top row… Read More hit for six!
Hello there. I needed to make a card for friends who are getting married next month, and thought Julie Hickey’s ‘fresh florals’ would work well paired with the fern stencil. I’ve taken inspiration for the design from three current challenges, using stencilling & heat embossing from Just Add Ink‘s ‘choose two’, the colours from The… Read More flowers & ferns
Hello crafty friends. Well I’ve really stepped it up with today’s card – not my usual style as I don’t really go for fancy folds, but I thought it was worth the stretch for once! Just Us Girls are looking for trifold cards in this week’s challenge, and I found a template for this one… Read More birds and bees
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card for a friend who’s going through a difficult time with their health at the moment. I’ve gone with Claritystamp’s ‘funky foliage’ die for the centrepiece on this one, picking up on the themes from a couple of challenges. Festive Friday are marking International Dance Day – there… Read More funky foliage wishes

I started with a 5×7 card blank and laid the ‘hills’ mask across it, before repeat stamping the ‘abstract texture’ across the bottom of the… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – abstract texture
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using one of the new stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘floral blooms’. It’s personalised, as my son wanted a card to give a colleague who’s retiring from work. I’m rubbish at starting from a blank card, so took inspiration from a couple of designs… Read More pink blooms
Hello crafty friends, and welcome to my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club. I mentioned last week that I took a break from the club at the end of 2018, but rejoined a year later just before I retired from full time work, so here we are with the ‘hare fox & badger’… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – hare, fox & badger #158
Hello crafty friends. Well, it’s Sunday so time for another lookback into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club, and this time it’s to December 2018 for the ‘cuckoo clock’ (and cuckoo!). This is the end of a chapter really – I’d broken my shoulder a few months earlier and so hadn’t been doing much crafting. I’d got… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – cuckoo clock
Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a quick play today with a brand new set of stamps from the fabulous Julie Hickey – the ‘daisy buttons’ set. I’ve only just got them, but I think you’ll be seeing a lot more of them over the next few weeks. This one is sat firmly in my CAS… Read More daisy button
