Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new theme over at The Alphabet Challenge and we’re now up to the letter ‘H’. This week Debbie has asked us to include ‘happy’ in the sentiment, and I decided that Julie Hickey’s alphabet dies would be perfect. Before picking up the dies, though, I started… Read More h is for happy
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another Christmas card, inspired by a couple of this week’s challenges – Less Is More have declared it ‘Christmas in July’, and Just Add Ink have got a very festive inspiration photo. I decided to go with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Peaceful Noel’ set (now retired), as I thought it would… Read More Noel
Welcome to my crafty blog and my second post of the day. This one is a diamond wedding anniversary card that I was asked to make, and I’ve dug back into my stash of Claritystamps for some old favourites. I started with the word stamp that has 1 Corinthians 13 on it, and repeat stamped… Read More diamond wedding
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been asked to make another 60th birthday card – this time for a Formula One racing fan. I don’t have any racing cars amongst my stash, so decided instead to go with the Mercedes team colours of black, silver & green given that Lewis Hamilton remains the top British… Read More Formula 1 birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. Bit of a late post today with my weekly dip into the Claritystamp new design club – this time it’s the agapanthus stamp from March 2015. I decided to use it for a few of this week’s blog challenges. The colours are from Color Throwdown – for once I’ve stayed… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – agapanthus #101
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve stepped up today’s card with a little heat embossing on a Claritystamp that I’ve had for a long time but not used nearly as much as I should. This ‘love is in the air’ stamp is such a great image – it reminds me of a Banksy artwork. I… Read More love is in the air
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another journey back into Claritystamp’s new design club. It feels very strange to be posting this card on a warm June Sunday, but I’m now up to November 2014 on this little retro trip, which was the ‘Santa’s car’ stamp, so it just had to be a Christmas card!… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – Santa’s car #97
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still busy with Father’s Day cards, so I can get them off in good time to the little community shop that’s selling some of my creations. I’m quite pleased with today’s offering as it’s used up several pieces of scrap card, so has gladdened my thrifty crafter heart! I… Read More best day ever
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s a bank holiday in the UK today, and for once the sun is shining brightly (most Brits will tell you it usually rains on a bank holiday!) My crafting buddy came round for lunch today and it was so lovely to be able to sit outside and eat. We… Read More balloon flight
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m now up to October 2014 and the ‘live laugh love’ sentiment stamp in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club. This is a great sentiment for engagement or wedding cards, or just to send someone an uplifting message. IT’s a bit more of a grungy style than I… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – live laugh love #95
