96 Days To Christmas – Winter Wonderland Stamp Set

Comments 2 Comments

Hi there. Shining a light on a Clarity Classic today, folks! These super silhouette stamps have been reworked to create fabulous 2-way overlay blocks. The upper images fit beautifully into the lower block stamps. They work well independently, but they are wonderful together. Just like Dave and me. We are enjoying a little holiday with friends in Spain at the moment. Ronda yesterday; Gibraltar today! Hardly a Christmas vibe at 80 in the shade! But back to these beauties… See?…

Ho Ho Ho!! Here we go! 100 days to Christmas! 🎄 Today marks the start of our 100 Day Countdown to Christmas, and over the next 100 days we’ll be sharing a little festive inspiration every day.

Hi there. Sunday again!

Day 31 – August Arty Challenge – Every Artist Starts Somewhere

Day 31 – August Arty Challenge – Every Artist Starts Somewhere

Comments 12 Comments

And here we are — Day 31. Every Artist Starts Somewhere. Yes, it’s the very same affirmation we started with, and that feels exactly right. Because 31 days ago, somewhere was the beginning; today, somewhere is a completely different place. We’ve played, experimented, made mistakes, discovered things, gone with the flow, tried new ideas and, most importantly, we’ve kept showing up. So perhaps this isn’t really the end at all — it’s another starting point. Thank you so so much…

Day 30 – August Arty Challenge – Mistakes Often Lead To Discoveries

Comments 7 Comments

Mistakes often lead to discoveries. Well, you couldn’t make this one up! Today I’m taking that colour-wash landscape idea a little further, exploring what else we can do with it — and somewhere along the way I managed to work on the whole thing upside down!

Day 29 – August Arty Challenge – My Hands Can Make Great Things

Comments 4 Comments

My hands can make great things. And today we’re getting right back to the heart of what this Arty Challenge is all about: getting with our hands and seeing what happens! I’ve used the lovely Elementree leaf stamps for today’s artwork, building up those simple leafy shapes and letting the colours do their thing. And actually, this one couldn’t be better timed, because those leaves would work beautifully with our brand-new Nature’s Palette Card Collection, which we launched yesterday as…
