Hello there – it’s time for this week’s new challenge at Just Us Girls, so here’s my third offering as their guest designer for May. I have to say I struggled with this one a bit – these shades are a bit out of my comfort zone! I decided to go with Claritystamp’s ‘linocut teasels’… Read More teasels
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m firmly back in my CAS comfort zone today with this card, using the ‘art nouveau landscape’ stamp from Claritystamp. I’ve picked up a couple of challenges in designing this card – the colours palette is from Global Design Project together with the theme of ‘friendship’ from Addicted to CAS… Read More friendship
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses a mixture of old and new stamps from Julie Hickey Designs – I always enjoy mixing things up. For this one I’ve used the sketch from Fusion and picked up the pink tulips in their photo. The colour scheme is thanks to Inspire.Create, who’ve challenged us to use black,… Read More grace

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
