Hi there Early start here. Off up to HobbyMaker, for 2 shows, 1pm and 4pm. Looking forward to them. Let’s hope things go better than last time! Err, yes. Dave is driving me up there! And what’s it all about, Alfie? Well, it’s all about Mini Makes and our A4 Sampler stamp sets. But it’s actually about a lot more than that. In a world that is going bonkers, it is important to be able to escape into art, to…
Hi there The Clarity Christmas Open Days and Workshops are on the horizon too, so let’s have a look at your calendar, and have a think about a little mini break darn sarf! When and where, I hear you ask… WHERE…. We all get together in a brilliant hall near Maidstone, Kent. It’s a village called Ditton. Easy to get to. I discovered it years ago, when I was invited to attend a huge WI Conference there. It was quite…
Hi there. This 100 days to Christmas idea is really making me look at the vast library of designs that we have come up with over the years! Which is quite ironic, since we are celebrating our 32nd Birthday this month too. It gives our Clarity journey real perspective. You know, where I started, back in the early 90’s, how the company, the products and the designs have evolved, where we are at now. Compiling a 100 day countdown to…
Hi there. Happy Sunday! Yesterday, we shone a light on our lovely, top quality Glitter bundle, combined with our Pergamano Sticky Ink and mapping pen. Today, I want to point you in the direction of a video I did a while ago, demonstrating how to use said ink and glitter. If you’re new to this, you may benefit from watching it…. If you do take the time to watch, you’ll also learn about applying sticky ink over a larger coloured…
Hi there. Christmas is a-coming folks ! And we need some glitter! How about our fabulous set of 6 pots? If you’re going for gold, you may as will get silver, bronze, pink, blue and green too! Special price CLICK HERE Why not treat yourself to that clever little Pergamano Pot Holder we introduced recently. Loaded, or unloaded. Would make a great gift for a parching friend who’s building her stash! Come back tomorrow, and we’ll take a closer look…
Hi there, We’re getting into the swing of this countdown now! And today is a very special landmark indeed. This is where our ongoing Birthday celebrations at Clarity meet our Christmas Countdown! At 10am and 2pm, while Paul is taking a well earned break for a fortnight, Louise and I will be launching a brand new and beautiful collection of French Lace Groovi plates, designed by our Jazz. And guess what?! Yep. They are perfect for Christmas! Tell me more!…
Hi there! 98 days before Christmas, and counting! I’m quite enjoying the structure of the blog again, getting back into it, One Day at A Time, and looking at all our Christmas stamps and stash! I’ve also been thinking about other things, like competitions, jokes, limericks – we do love a limerick! Yesterday we looked at how to enhance your cards with the Nested Square Embedders. Today, we’ll use the same stamp set, but focus on even smaller cards, notelets…
Hi there. 99 Days to Christmas?? The countdown is underway! And since this ‘ere blog is entitled One Day at a Time, what better place to keep track of the calendar than here? I am very fortunate that the kids are coming home from the States for Christmas this year, but that means I really want to get ahead, and have a few handmade gifts and cards made before they land! How about you? I bet you’ve already started, haven’t…
Hi there. The 100 day countdown to Christmas is on! Now, for most earthly folks, this might seem rather excessive, planning the festive season 100 days ahead of time. We’ve only just packed away our flip flops from the summer, and here we are preparing our gifts, cards and decorations for Crimble! You have got to be a maker and a crafter to appreciate that this is absolutely the way it works! So at Clarity we have decided to have…
Hi there Just a quickie to let you know I shall be back in the SHAC tomorrow at 10 am on CLARITY LIVE TV. We will be taking our bus along Route 66, all through Arizona, and across into New Mexico. I think you will enjoy drawing these Hopi kachinas with me… Then at 2pm, as part of our Mini Makes Monday series, I shall be introducing a rather special, brand new Christmas Backdrop Sampler. It is beautiful! An A4…
