Hello crafty friends! Today’s card features another of the linocut stamps from ClarityCrafts, this time the ‘apple orchard’ set. It’s just perfect for autumnal cards, and I’ve incorporated colours from Color Dare (I picked up the two greens, orange and pink), the ‘outdoor’ theme from Global Design Project and the top row of ink blending,… Read More apple harvest
Hello there. Well, on the hottest UK day of the year so far I thought we could all do with some cool vibes from my last DT card featuring the ClarityCrafts Letterbox Penguins that were launched last weekend.

Hello there! Today’s card features one of the ‘hats 2 – vintage’ stamp set from ClarityCrafts, which I think is just such an elegant design and is perfect for this card which is going to a friend who’s about to start chemotherapy for breast cancer (hence the pink shades and the turban!) I took the… Read More be yourself
Well it’s Sunday again, so I’ve dipped into my Clarity Craft Club back issues for the next die to use – this week it’s ‘Barbara’s floral round’ (#43) from July 2022. I’ve teamed it up with a couple of their ‘nested doodle frame-it’ dies and have got a few hopefully helpful tips on using these… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – floral round die
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card made with one of the brand new Art Nouveau stencils launched by ClarityCrafts today – this time the ‘poppy fields’, which comes in a pair with the ‘bed of roses’ I shared earlier.

Hello crafty friends and welcome to a very optimistic card today! I’m currently away at a Christian festival in Kent and it’s barely stopped raining since we got here (very grateful that we decided to stay in a hotel and not camp on site!!) I do love the art nouveau series from ClarityCrafts – Barbara… Read More art nouveau sunrise
