Welcome to my crafty blog. I started working on this card earlier today and, as is so often the case for me, it kept evolving as I went along!

By coincidence, it’s another cupcake (after the card I made earlier this week) and this time I’ve gone for chocolate and cherry flavour (one of my favourite combinations!) thanks to the colour palette at CAS Colours and Sketches. I’ve paired… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – cupcake #142

Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses Stampin’ Up!’s ‘birds and branches’ set, which I always think is great for a slightly different new baby/ baby shower card.
