Hello crafty friends! I’m back with another card using one of the new ‘wee transport’ stamps from ClarityCrafts, this time the campervan. I’ve been thinking of my niece while I was making this – she and her boyfriend been travelling around Queensland in a camper van for the last couple of weeks (am I jealous…?!) To start,… Read More cool campervan!
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a bit of an alternative take to all the pink hearts for Valentine’s Day. I love the little tandem bike from ClarityCrafts new ‘wee transport’ sets and thought it was ideal to go with the couple on the bench from the ‘wee folk 1’ set. I’m going to share this with… Read More a bicycle built for two
Welcome to my crafty blog and another look at one of the new ‘Just Wings & Wheels’ stamps from ClarityCrafts. My father-in-law used to be a police motorcyclist, so I just had to use the motorbike on the card for his recent 98th birthday! The first step was to brush ‘walnut stain’ and ‘pumice stone’ Distress… Read More a biker birthday
Hello there! Today’s card is a first play with the new ‘infusions’ collage papers from ClarityCrafts. They’re a lighter weight (80gsm) than their designer papers and designed specifically for use on collages, although I’ve gone with paper piecing my stamped image, combining two of the new sets – ‘hibiscus’ and ‘chamomile’. I started with a piece of… Read More infusions papers
Hello crafty friends – I’m back after being missing for a couple of days. Today’s card uses the summer set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Linda’s bijou children through the seasons’. It does seem odd to be sharing this in the freezing UK temperatures, and I’m not sure I’d want to be up in a hot air balloon just at… Read More go with the flow
So here we are on day 10 of my 12 Days of Clarity series, with the ‘O Christmas Tree’ stamp from last October’s Craft Club.

Happy New Year everyone! I’m starting 2024 with a design team card for the new challenge at Love to Craft and, as always, the theme is ‘anything goes’. I’ve been trying to clear out some of my stash box of part finished pieces and found this die cut using ClarityCrafts ‘art nouveau tulips’ aperture die, which I… Read More art nouveau tulips for Love to Craft challenge
Hello crafty friends! Well, it’s finally Christmas Eve and as it’s Sunday I’ve dipped back into Clarity‘s Craft Club for the next stencil in my series – although it’s a floral pattern one it felt right to turn it to a Christmas theme with the colours from Just Add Ink, which also picks up the challenge… Read More Clarity craft club lookback – flower confetti stencil
Welcome to my crafty blog and an early look at one of my design team samples with ClarityCrafts mini mandala dies that will be featuring on Create & Craft TV tomorrow (Thursday) I kept it very simple with this one and let the dies do all the work as they’re so pretty! I started by cutting… Read More mini mandala squares set 3
Hello there! Just over a week to go – how are your Christmas preparations coming on? I feel a bit like I’m in one of those circus acts spinning lots of plates on poles (and some of them are getting a bit wobbly!!) Never mind, it will all be fine when the day arrives. I’ve started on my family… Read More Merry Christmas gnome
