Hello crafty friends. I’m kicking off Friday with our new challenge at Alphabet – we’ve reached R and Billie has given us ‘ribbon’ as the theme. Now, you’ll know that I don’t usually add ribbon or other embellishments to my cards, so Clarity’s Bijou Ribbon Sentiments stamps came to my rescue! I also want to… Read More R for Ribbon at Alphabet Challenge
Hello friends. I’ve been trying to use up some of my stash today, starting with a gel plate print I pulled last week using Sam’s Christmas BOW-WOB papers. I was actually making it for one of my live demos last week (check that one out here), but forgot to put a square of stencil card… Read More Tis the season
Hello everyone and welcome to the weekend! I’m off out with the family for a celebratory meal today, as it was my son’s partner’s birthday this week. She’s a cat lover (they have one black and a second white one), so Clarity’s Entwined Cats stamps were just perfect for her card, especially with one of… Read More entwined cats
Hello crafty friends and welcome to my second card of the day. This time, it’s for our new challenge at As You See It – we’ve got a recipe for you this time round, which I devised. For these challenges, we want you to incorporate all the recipe elements in your card, but how you… Read More my new recipe at As You See It Challenge 359
Hello crafty friends. I’m off to Kent this evening to be ready for the first day of Clarity’s summer retreat tomorrow, so have another of last year’s background creations to share with you today! We made this one with inks on a gelli plate, then laid a couple of pieces of the fab BOW-WOB paper… Read More a retreat background
Hello friends. It’s Monday again, but every day is a good one for cake, right? I’ve got a simple offering today using one of the images from Clarity’s Stay Calm Drink Tea stamp set and a perfect quote stamp from Set 7 (I love these wood black effect inages). Once again I’ve combined a few… Read More cake, cake, cake
Hello crafty friends! It is seriously H O T here in London (32 degrees C this afternoon!) and forecast to rise further at the weekend! It’s too hot to spend much time outside, so a good reason to stay indoors and craft (not that I’ve ever needed much of an excuse!) I finished off some… Read More circle of leaves
Hello friends and welcome to a dip back into the Clarity archives with Tina’s retro stars stamp set – having looked back in this little blog, I last used these stamps at the beginning of last year! Although I think that probably says more about the quantity of my stash than a commentary on this… Read More retro star frame
Hello friends. Today’s card features the bird tree stamp from Clarity Crafts – I used the co-ordinating stencil a few weeks ago but hadn’t yet showcased the stamp. I do love these images of the tree transforming into a flock of birds and it was perfect for a little countryside scene. This is another card… Read More Live this life
Hello there and I hope you’re having a good weekend. I’ve dropped by with another of my samples from Friday’s Clarity Social TV shows, this time it’s the butterfly tree stamp, which comes with a matching stencil as well. Once again I’ve kept it simple, this time going for a blended panel using the colours… Read More One day…
