Hello crafty friends and welcome to another Christmas card! It must be that time of year…! I’ve used another one of Claritystamp’s stained glass windows, but this time the small stamp rather than the larger die. I’ve had this one for quite a long time – it always feels good when I use older stamps… Read More star window
Hello crafty friends and welcome to today’s offering. It’s another Christmas card, this time using the retired ‘arrange a wreath’ set from Stampin’ Up! with the colour palette from Inspire.Create and the sketch from TGIF. This is another one that’s a last minute entry for both challenges, and I also hope the Inspire.Create team will… Read More Be merry & bright
Hello crafty friends – time for another Christmas card today as I’m getting my stash well and truly ready for posting! Today’s card uses one of the Claritystamp winter scenes sets drawn by Jayne Nestorenko. I think these are just beautiful – and they work for other occasions as well (this would make a great… Read More Christmas church scene
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a masculine one, using Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ aperture die. I love the way this cuts the scene into the card – I’ve got the matching stamp as well (I am a stamper at heart) but this die gives such a brilliant sharp outline. I’ve taken inspiration for this one from… Read More amazing day
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time using a couple of Clarity stamps that I’ve had for years (from back when they came pre-mounted onto Clarity’s curved handles). They have several of these framer word stamps, although I’m not sure that this is still available. I might have got a bit… Read More nativity joy
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got a simple Christmas card to share today using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘merriest frames’ & co-ordinating embossing folder. It was quite quick to make (once I’d figured the design out!) I’ve picked up the ‘winter whites’ theme from Less is More and paired it with Just Us Girls‘ word challenge of ‘merry’.… Read More merry & white
Hello crafty friends. Well my resolution to share today’s card earlier in the evening has failed miserably! Never mind, it’s the thought that counts as they say, so here’s a thank you card I’ve made using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘art gallery’ set and ‘expressions in ink’ paper. The current challenge at Festive Friday picks up World… Read More just a thank you
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another late evening blog. I just can’t seem to get myself organised to share my cards earlier in the day! Today’s card uses one of the Christmas rounds dies from Claritystamp – I bought it last year and hadn’t used it so far so it definitely deserved an outing!… Read More Christmas Santa
Hello crafty friends. Well, as promised, I’ve been playing again with the new ‘all about the girls’ stamp set designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs. I pushed myself a bit more with this one, inspired by the fabulous demos from Hazel, Julie & the rest of the team. I took the layout from… Read More enjoy your special day!
Hello, crafty friends. I’m back after a few days away with my sister and then a little work trip, so thought I’d get straight back into harness with a (fairly) quick Christmas card! I haven’t done any crafting for the last few days and I was getting withdrawal symptoms!! This ‘peace on earth bauble’ stamp… Read More peace on earth
