Hello again and welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses one of my favourite techniques – masking & blending inks, together with ClarityCrafts’ ‘trees and their mantles’ stamps. I picked up the colours from Just Add Ink and the ‘silhouette’ theme from Just Us Girls I started with a square of white card that… Read More today well lived…
Welcome to my crafty blog and another wonderful die cut from Clarity Crafts. This was actually the very first die they produced – Barbara Gray designed it for her wedding invitations! I’ve picked up a few things from Festive Friday‘s ‘wear red day’ inspiration list – red, square card & ribbon (I’m not sure if… Read More happily ever after
Welcome to day 5 of my 12 Days of Clarity, today using the ‘grunge texture block’ stamp from the May Craft Club. I took inspiration from Barbara Gray’s design on the project sheet and used it to create the background for a little scene. I strated by stamping the texture block twice onto a square… Read More 12 Days of Clarity 2022 – grunge texture block
Welcome to my crafty blog and another last minute challenge offering. Just Add Ink‘s theme is to ‘choose two’ and it probably doesn’t need explaining that I went for deer & trees! I’m also linking it up with Time Out‘s ‘winter’ challenge I’ve used the Clarity ‘riverside landscape reflection’ masks, starting with a piece of… Read More wintery morning
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card, this time using Julie Hickey Designs ‘Christmas foilables’ die cuts as the focus.

Hello there. Today’s card is another one on the road to Christmas, but this time I’ve gone for less traditional colours, using the palette from CAS Colours & Sketches. I love the look of this border stamp designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs, which nicely picks up the ‘trees’ theme from Global Design… Read More Christmas border
Hello there! I’m back with another card using the latest Craft Club goodies from Clarity – this time it’s the pocket watch and sentiment stamps. I thought the sentiment worked well for the current theme of encouragement from Time Out challenges and picked up the colour palette from Hand Stamped Sentiments as well. I was… Read More all good things take time
Hello there. It’s been a very solemn day in the UK with the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II taking place, and so I wanted a simple card that suited the mood. She was known to love life in the countryside, as well as being a committed Christian, so I went with a couple of… Read More peace within
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
Hello there. It’s a little while since I used one of the aperture dies from Claritystamp, and I thought that one of the panoramic scenes (this is the ‘one tree’) was ideal for the current theme of ‘bark’ over at Inkspirational. I’ve had a second go with the colour palette from Color Hues as well.… Read More panoramic tree
