Timestamp Creations: Ideas and Inspiration II

 I thought I would share a second batch of projects using stamps from Timestamp Creations - designed by Janice Phillips and manufactured by Clarity Crafts.  As always, the links to the projects are below each photo.

Using an acrylic paint background (see HERE).

September Groovi Calendar Page

Even though the Clarity 2026 parchment calendar blank comes with sheets of parchment, I am still working on a piece of Rainbow River designer parchment each month, although I have had a break since my May page, and am now returning with a page for September.

Timestamp Creations: Ideas and Inspiration I

 I have been collecting the many stamp sets from Timestamp Creations, designed by Janice Phillips and manufactured by Clarity Crafts.  Here are a small selection of my projects using them and the postcards, with links below each photo.

Some rainbow deer (see HERE).

Inspired By A Song

The lyrics to this song ran through my head when I first saw this stamp set, so I thought I'd use some of them on my card.  This also fits with the current challenge over on Try It On Tuesday Inspired by a Song.

Trim a piece of Clarity premium card to 6.75” x 6.75”. Mark a light pencil line 1.5” from the bottom.

Using the Tall Letterbox Alphabet Outline stamps, add ‘Let’s go fly’ in Onyx Black Versafine stamp onto the line.

Add the kite from Barbara’s Kite Doodle stamp set in the same ink, with the tail dangling by the letters.

Finish off the song title using the same alphabet letters and ink as before. Erase the pencil line once the ink is dry.

Mask off the kite and use the cloud mask and Wild Bilberry Artistry ink with a clarity stencil brush to add clouds to the background. Brush upwards off the mask and gradually move the mask down the card.

Remove the mask and colour the kite with Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer water colour pencils, blended out with a large watercolour brush pen.

Add colour to the lettering using the coordinating Tall Letterbox Infill Alphabet stamps and Wild Bilberry Artistry ink.

Add to the front of a 7” x 7” black card blank.

To finish, add a couple of stickers from the Christmas and Celebrations sticker set.

Dog Rose Posy Mini Makes

I like to create small cards in pairs.  Here I used the large Dog Rose Posy stamp set even though the cards are small.

WOYWW 899/119: What a Week

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

My desk shows a couple of the projects and some of the papers I created at the retreat last week.

Paper pieced

This one is definitely not for cutting up.

Apart from unpacking, the only crafting I have done since my return are my #dailyatc2026.  The long drive there and back was brutal on my arm/back and I visited the GP yesterday.  Sorry for the lack of comments on your desks but it is painful to type.

The 900th anniversary of WOYWW is next week and I thought it might be fun to share the first time we joined in with a week ending '00' to celebrate.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Shadow Stencilled Dog Rose Posy

I overlayed a second stencil onto the Dog Rose Posy one to create the background for this card.

Glazed Bijou Dog Rose Posy

I used the infill stamp in the Bijou Dog Rose Posy set to add a glaze finish to this sample.

Rainbow Dog Rose Posy

I love these Posy overlay stamps and stencils designed by Barbara Gray.  Here I used one of the coordinating stencils to create a vibrant focal point.

SHAC Fish Mini Makes

I finished my SHAC Fish samples with a pair of mini makes.

Drop Me A Line

I decided to use one of the Skies toppers as a watery background with the SHAC Fish stamps.

Pink Fish Aquarium

This time I worked with the SHAC Fish stencil and a topper to create this aquarium of pink fish.

WOYWW 898/ 118: Retreat Week

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

My desk at the hotel for the next couple of days.  I arrived in Maidstone yesterday for the Clarity retreat today and tomorrow.  Heading home Friday with my Mum's friend who will be staying with her for a few weeks.

I have deliberately got a little ahead with my #dailyatc2026 and have completed until Saturday.

The 900th anniversary of WOYWW is coming up and I thought it might be fun to share the first time we joined in with a week ending '00' to celebrate.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Making Waves with Fish

Loving these new SHAC Fish stamps from Clarity Crafts.  Here I turned the fish into waves.

#dailyatc2026: August So Far

I have completed the next part of this year's challenge to myself - a daily ATC, following the prompts over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art and using Clarity stamps, stencils and stickers.  Here are my offerings for the first half of August.

I started with a play on words.

Yes I know they are snow drops lol.
