Welcome to my crafty blog, and another one of the new stamps from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘daisy blooms’. This is such a pretty image – just what I needed for the new theme at The Paper Players and it worked beautifully with the colours from Just Us Girls I strated with a piece… Read More birthday blooms
Welcome to my crafty blog and another sunflower card. This one uses the new set from Claritystamp, who are donating 50% of the proceeds from them to the British Red Cross appeal for Ukraine. They were the obvious set to use when I saw the new colours from CAS Colours and Sketches and I’m also… Read More sunflowers of peace
Hello crafty friends. I’m back today with another Easter card – trying to get myself well organised for next month! This one uses a couple of retired sets from Stampin’ Up! (‘hold onto hope’ and ‘gift of hope’) with the colour palette from the current challenge at TGIF. I started by stamping the wreath from… Read More Easter cross
Hello everyone. Just a short post this evening – I’m away for the weekend and can’t get an Internet connection in my hotel room so I’m blogging this on my phone (which I’ve never done before!). As I’ve typed that sentence, it’s struck me that’s a real ‘first world problem’, especially given then context of… Read More Hope for tomorrow

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
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a second play with the new ‘more for the boys’ set from Julie Hickey Designs. I’m doing a two-part online class with Julie & Hazel Eaton this week, so looking forward to more inspiration, but decided to have another try out in the meantime. I thought this set would… Read More birthday stars
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been thinking about my mum quite a bit recently as I’ve started making Mother’s Day cards. She sadly died nearly 4 years ago – this card was especially poignant as daffodils were her favourite flower, so this one’s in memory of her. I took the colours from this week’s… Read More Mum’s daffodil
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with a new stamp today – the ‘snowdrop’ is the January Craft Club stamp from Claritystamp. I thought the colour palette from As You See It would work really well for this, and I’ve used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches I started with the background, and… Read More snowdrop
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with more flowers, this time using the ‘floral happiness’ set by Julie Hickey on a card inspired by a couple of challenges. The colours are from Just Add Ink, together with the elements on the central row of Joanne’s tic tac toe grid for The Paper Players (CAS, flower, birthday_.… Read More floral happiness birthday
