Blogging again!

 Hello, I can't believe it's been four years since I last posted on here! where does the time go?

I just thought I would update my status really. I am no longer a Stampin' Up demonstrator. Much as I love all of the Stampin' Up products I found it very difficult to create a customer base in my area of Norfolk (UK) so I gave it up. 

What I aim to do in the next few weeks is show you what I am working on at home at the moment. My focus is more  on mixed media now and trying different mediums,inks and paints to create lots of layers on each project. I am also going to be uploading some more you tube videos ( I had only made 2! check out cluxycrafts on you tube). 

I have been making junk journals, art journals and also using my gelli arts plates.

I hope you come back and see me,

Much Love,

Claire xx

Oh so succulent suite.

Hello! I am loving playing with the So Succulent suite at the moment! It's on page 20-21 of the occasions catalogue. I have made a few boxes and covered them with the So Succulent DSP. I have also been playing with the stamps and dies, cutting shapes out ready for card projects I have in mind.
 Whilst playing with the 6 dies that make up the succulents (there are 17 dies altogether, fab value!) I came up with this flower!

I think it looks like a Dahlia and I am really pleased with how it turned out, I think it looks great on top of this box! I hope you like it? I will be doing a video tutorial on how to make this.

My First video tutorial!

Hi everyone! This video came about as I have had a lot of lovely comments from people, about the carousel box I made as one of my samples for Stampin' Up! onstage in November 2016.
I hope you like the video! please comment and subsribe to my you tube channel! It's a bit 'rough around the edges' but I will definitely be making more as it was so fun!!

my birthday!

Happy New Year to you!! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and lots of crafting time too. 

Today is my birthday! being 44 feels pretty old (thankyou to my daughter and husband for my lovely birthday cake!) but I am having a lovely time playing with the products I was able to pre order from the BRAND NEW Stampin' Up! spring/summer catalogue which goes live today
and the Saleabration brochure which is also launched today! For every £45 you spend on Stampin' Up! products you can choose a free item from the Saleabration brochure!

Ready for Christmas!

I can't believe it's only 6 days until Christmas and 5 days until my daughter's 12th birthday! (on Christmas Eve). I have finished all the cards and we delivered the last few to the neighbours this morning. I love Christmas, it's such a cosy family time.

Here's a picture of the cards I made using the 'Stitched with cheer' stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Autumn/winter catalogue.

I also made this card using the 'Stampamajig' This is a brilliant tool that enables you to position stamped images exactly where you want them (as seen here for lining up the Christmas trees).
