Heartfelt Congratulations

For my first sample made with one of the new A5 Burst stencils from Claritystamp, I made this congratulations card.  The stencil makes the perfect backdrop for the Wee Folk stamps.

WOYWW 686: Enjoying the Break

 I will probably be a little later than usual linking up with Julia and WOYWW today as it is the first Wednesday of my holidays.  Here is my desk yesterday after my new sopranino recorder arrived.

I have a Garklein Floetlein (the smallest recorder and an octave above descant) arriving later in the week and will probably leave my collection there.  I used to own a tenor recorder too but have no idea where it has got to.

I have updated all the resources and schemes of work for next year so far but still need to update all the curriculum leader paperwork including rewriting the progress maps in the new format.  I hope to have this finished by the end of the week so I can enjoy the rest of the holidays.

As you can see, I have finished my butterfly pages, completed four Paris based pages and have started a run of fantasy based pages (most recent is at the top).  

The recorder concert went quite well last week although I still fluffed a few notes.  Rehearsals are every other Tuesday so had fun yesterday too.  Look forward to seeing what you all have on your desks this week.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Fairy Fantasy Cards: Ideas and Inspiration

 These were some of the earliest samples that I made for Claritystamp showcasing the fairy stencils and three way overlay stamps.  There are also dies in the same designs.  Links to step by step instructions are below each picture.

I used the stencil to create a watercolour image (see HERE).

Rose Thank You Card

I went back and used one of my previously unused Clarity New Design club stencils to create this thank you card.

Up, Up and Away: Balloon Birthday Card

I combined balloon stamps and one of the Clarity New Design Club dies to create this birthday card.

Stencilled Background for a Scene

I ran with Barbara Gray's project idea of using one of the Clarity New Design Club stencils as a backround for a scene which I created for this birthday card.  I changed the mask and the colours that were used in the original project though.

Floral and Forest Flourishes: Ideas and Inspiration

I thought I'd share a collection of projects using the Floral and Forest Flourishes from Claritystamp which are available as dies, stencils and 3 way overlay stamps.  Links to the step by step for each project are available below each picture.

I combined stamps and stencil for this card (see HERE).
