Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for a new set from Stampin’ Up! – ‘waves of inspiration’. This is yet another card that I’ve not done any stamping on, but I’m sure I’ll be back to normal soon! I’ve used the sketch from Global Design Project today, and loosely based the design… Read More a great wave
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a very CAS birthday card using one of Claritystamp’s ‘city skylines’ masks – can you guess which one?! I took the inspiration for this from AAA Cards‘ current theme of ‘along the edge + your country’. The London skyline is a pretty iconic image for the UK. I started… Read More London on the edge
Hello crafty friends! I’ve been playing again with the sunflowers from Claritystamp – it’s a great little set and the Clarity team are donating 50% of the proceeds from their sale to the British Red Cross in aid of Ukraine. I’ve used the inspiration card over at Global Design Project for this one, picking up… Read More sunflower pattern
Hello crafty friends, and welcome to my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club. I mentioned last week that I took a break from the club at the end of 2018, but rejoined a year later just before I retired from full time work, so here we are with the ‘hare fox & badger’… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – hare, fox & badger #158
Hello crafty friends. Well, it’s Sunday so time for another lookback into Claritystamp’s monthly craft club, and this time it’s to December 2018 for the ‘cuckoo clock’ (and cuckoo!). This is the end of a chapter really – I’d broken my shoulder a few months earlier and so hadn’t been doing much crafting. I’d got… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – cuckoo clock
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card made from die cuts, this time with added paper piecing. These little felines on Claritystamp’s ‘cats on a comfy chair’ die just have such attitude – I love the one in the corner peeping in! They are so like our two cats, Tom & Benji, who are… Read More comfy cats

I started… Read More butterfly curve
Hello crsfty friends. I’m back in my happy place today with this CAS card using one of my favourite sets from Claritystamp – the ‘birdhouse garden’. I immediately thought of the fab little cat when I saw the ‘feline’ theme from Addicted to CAS. He also fits Just Us Girls‘ word week, ‘lucky’, which is… Read More lucky to know you
Hello crafty friends. Well I’m trying to keep up with my ambition to make a few Christmas cards each month, so it’s not such a rush in the autumn. I’m probably not making as much progress with that as I’d hoped, so today’s card takes me one step further. I’ve used Claritystamp’s ‘nativity miniatures’ stamp… Read More snowflake peace
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another card ready for Mother’s Day next month. This time I’ve used Claritystamp’s ‘leafy swirl’ aperture die, with the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown.
