Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a lovely day today visiting a local Christmas craft fair with a friend, which has cleared my head after spending the last four days in online meetings and barely leaving the house!

Hello crafty friends. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into the Claritystamp new design club – this time for the ‘we go together…’ sentiment from July 2017.

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another late evening blog. I just can’t seem to get myself organised to share my cards earlier in the day! Today’s card uses one of the Christmas rounds dies from Claritystamp – I bought it last year and hadn’t used it so far so it definitely deserved an outing!… Read More Christmas Santa

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. Today’s card uses the ‘friendship flower’ stamp set by Julie Hickey and the layout sketch from Fusion card challenge. I also took inspiration from Fusion’s photo with the red flowers (although these are clearly not poppies) and added in the elements from the diagonal on TicTacToe‘s grid – scoring, stripes… Read More red and stripes
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the retired ‘painted harvest’ set from Stampin’ up! (again!), and I adapted a design I did last week as I liked it so much.

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’.
