I got into parchment craft last year when I was going through a stressful/ bad depression time and now it's one of my favourite crafts. It's very mindful and each card can be made different sometimes just my changing the colour or layout.

Lots of other designs available. 1-2week completion time.

Each card £3.50-4 depending on complexity ( plus P&P as per royal mail - multiple orders on these or other items can be combined).

Hi all, I'm Laura from Clarke's Crafty Creations -a little family business that make handmade cards and gifts. Most of it is made my me as it's my distraction from my chronic health condition.

I joined up last minute as life has been a little crazy recently. I was meant to doing a declutter ( of some craft stuff) stall yesterday but had to cancel as I didn't have the energy/ pain was bad so I thought why not do this from my sofa - thanks again to @
Kindness Community for putting the virtual stall on again.

Most of the items can be personalised to suit your needs.

Here's a snapshot of some of my work ( yes It includes some Christmas 🌲☃️🎁 only 113 days to go 😱🤪

Blackburn friends please share this with your friends with children, or bring your own kids along 😘( age 8+)

Parchment craft is easier than it looks. Children are definitely able to achieve a quality piece, as proven by a child in one of my previous classes.

Please book with Tracy at Mad Home Co , any questions please message me 😃

It's been a nice day - was going to go for a swim but went for a short walk instead as it was fine.
Also made this card - I'm still struggling with my right hand tendonitis so learning to do this ( called groovi/parchment craft) left handed - I enjoy doing it and it's very mindful so I'm not letting my hand pain stop me.

Who's birthday is it next? This may be on the way to you 🥳💌

Also available to buy for £3 ( 6x6 card).

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. The tendonitis in my right hand still isn't great but I have been learning to groovi left handed.

These pieces have still to be finished - I'll post an update when done

Just finished a stained glass course at a local craft centre. Thought you would like to see it.
I've definitely got more appreciation for stained glass work - it's hard/ has a lot more steps than what you think x

Crafting left handed tonight = getting messy. All doable with my left hand. Playing with stencils, paints, gesso, sprays and gelli plates.

( FYI tendonitis in my right hand due to a fall a few weeks ago 🙈)

A lovely productive day off... Nice little swim, then started and also finished some art and organised my tool folder.

Looking forward to my craft workshop on Saturday - there's still places left if you are in Blackburn and want to join us (2-4pm).

Having missed a couple of weeks of the the stained glass workshop with the lurgy and working - it's now all together 😃
Got to fill it with putty and polish it up

These are my lovely makes and takes from clarity crafts open day . Have a fab time.

Its been a lovely day off. 🌞😻🖼️

Just started a 10wk course at doing stained glass. Learnt a few techniques and designed by small window 🖼️... I'm looking forward to it all coming together over the next few weeks.

Also had cat cuddles and enjoyed the sunshine 😻🌞

Happy St George's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Also getting ready for the Coronation 🇬🇧
