Hello crafty friends – yes it’s another Christmas card today! I’m using Julie Hickey’s ‘poinsettia’ stamp & die set for the first time this year (hopefully not the last!) It struck me as perfect for the theme of ‘bright and bold’ at this week’s Inspire.Create challenge, as well as Addicted to CAS‘s request for cards… Read More bright & bold poinsettia
Hello crafty friends. No Christmas card today – it’s Sunday so I’ve dipped back into the Clarity Craft Club back issues for the dandelion stamp from September 2017. The Clarity team have shared some desperately sad news this weekend as Ani, one of their designers, has died after a very short illness. She was not… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – dandelion #131
Hello crafty friends. Well it’s Sunday again, so time for the next installment in my personal challenge of working back through my Claritystamp new design club issues.

I’ve teamed it with the small round backdrop stamp – these are great for creating… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – girl on a swing #130
Hello crafty friends. It’s Friday and we’ve got the next letter in our Alphabet Challenge – we’re now up to ‘P’ and Caz has challenged us to include patterned paper on out cards.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve had a lovely afternoon crafting online with my sister and friend – we’re all members of Claritystamp’s Craft Club, so get together once a month to play with the latest club stamp. What I really love is that we all make very different cards despite using the same stamp.… Read More girl power
Welcome to my crafty blog and another rare occasion when there is no stamping at all on my card! I was inspired by the theme over at Just Add Ink to use one of Claritystamp’s ‘skyscape’ dies – I went with New York which is so iconic. I started with a black 5×5 card blank… Read More new york sunrise
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘plentiful plants’ set. Thank you cards are always useful to have in my stash, so this week’s theme at Global Design Project was very helpful. I’ve used the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown palette, and also picked up the task from Inspired by‘s… Read More gratitude
Welcome to my crafty blog. Another quick card today – for some reason I’ve been really tired all day, although that may have something to do with the fact that my sister came to stay for the weekend and we’ve been out & about in London. I’m clearly out of practice! I’ve taken inspiration from… Read More plentiful plants
Welcome to my crafty blog. I had meant to share this card yesterday, but spent the day in central London with my sister and just ran out of time… It is so lovely to have the Covid restrictions easing – we even went to the theatre (wearing masks, of course) for the first time two… Read More black & white butterfly
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sharing a quick and easy card today – always helpful to have one of these up your sleeve for when you’re in a hurry.
