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
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 and welcome to my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club. This ‘ornate frame’ stamp is from October 2018, and I decided to use it to create a little scene with some of the ‘garden’ stamp set. I started with a square of white card and stamped the frame in the centre… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – ornate frame
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s craft club. This week, I’m back to September 2018 and the ‘willow tree’ stamp. Now, I often comment that I hadn’t used the club stamps until now, however I did have a good excuse back then for not using this one – I… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – willow tree #143
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another wedding card today, this time using Claritystamp’s ‘the happy couple’ die. I’ve stepped it up a bit, thanks to the inspiration list from Festive Friday – I’ve picked up birds, trees, green and blue on the card. I started with a couple of pieces of Clarity’s designer paper… Read More the happy couple
Hello crafty friends. I decided to have another play with one of my new stencils from Claritystamp (it’s #22 from the Craft Club back issues) and as a result this is yet another card that has no stamping on it – for someone who is a confirmed stamper at heart I seem to be producing… Read More winter animals
Hello crafty friends. I’ve delved back into my folder of inky mop-up pieces for the background piece on this card and teamed it with what I think is my favourite stamp from Clarity’s 2021 Craft Club – I just love this little landscape. The starting point for this card was an easy choice, as the… Read More another inky background
