Easter Sunday Celebrations
Hello there!
Thanks for stopping by on this lovely Sunday morning.
I hope you are well and happy?
Thought I’d send an Easter card project to you;
a simple celebration Sunday.
I remember great amusement when doing this card together with Dean on telly; let’s see if I can embed the You-tube of that show….
Anyway, here’s what we used:
I cut and embossed an oval shape out of Theuvacard.
Using a Versamark ink pad and Detail Gold powder,
I heat-embossed the Easter banner and the Greeting with a heatgun
Stamped the 3 chicks onto Translucent Shrink Plastic,
using a Black Archival ink pad.
Cut them out, like so…
but let’s watch Dean the crafting Guru tackle 3 chicks, eh.
Or was it 4 chicks….
Managed to embed this from You Tube, and thanks JantheNan,
the lady who put it there in the first place!
the lady who put it there in the first place!
This is very funny!
Dean is brilliant!
To make the flower, I bought a set of very reasonably priced punches at my friend Terri’s shop in Wisbech
Terri Lucas, The Craft Den. Fab shop, even fabber woman!
If you live in that area, you should pop in, or sign up for one of her workshops. She is one talented lady.
And our Clarity Design Team Kelly Ketteringham (Kelly on the Telly) works at the Craft Den, too, so you will meet her there.
So there we are.
Happy Easter to you and yours.
All the stamps are in the Easter sale this weekend.
Sales ends Monday 21st April, 2014.
lots of love,
Barb

Good morning Barbara and very Happy Easter to you and your family. The weather is lovely here in France, and we're going to enjoy a walk to our local market. Love your card, what a great idea to have used shrink plastic for those chicks, and thanks for the You Tube. Have a wonderful sunday.

Hello Barbara,
Love the card. I wish C&C would put you with Dean all the time. He even makes the boring bits enjoyable and you are a great double act.
Happy Easter and love to you, your family and all your team. X

What a scream! Shrink plastic, Dean & Grey. You've had me in stitches again and what a jolly way to start my sunny Easter Sunday. Wishing you and yours a very happy Easter, Barbara.

Don't give it a second thought Butter xxxx
Hi Barb,
I remember you doing this on C&C and was crying with laughter at you and Dean. Seeing the clip again has had the same effect! Wishing you, your family , all at Clarity towers and everyone on the blog a very Happy Easter. Thanks for all your inspiration Barb. Love to all Alison xx
Same as Mandy – I love this C&C clip…I then had to go on to watch the shrink plastic galleon episode too…great start to my Sunday & I will smile every time I think about it!
Love the card with the little chicks.
Have a relaxing Easter Sunday. Take care, Carole x
As a sideline you could form the next great comedy duo on TV, " Dean & Babs" you wouldn't need a script writer, just ad lib as on here. Produced a great looking card Barbara despite the distraction! Love it. Happy Easter. Xxxxxxxxxxx
I watch this clip if I'm sometimes not at my best and it perks me up a treat thank you and a very Happy Easter

Hi Barb,
Hadn't seen this one of you and Dean in Episode 2 of shrink plastic. What a giggle! You two just bounce so well off each other and are a real tonic. Weather here in Germany is wunderschon and the church bells are ringing out. Love reading your blog and you always give us something to smile or laugh about. Thank you for taking the time.
A happy Easter to all at Clarity Towers and fellow readers. Liz x
wonderful – so funny! Happy Easter xx

Card is cute Barbara, and Happy Easter to you, your family and all your followers. Have a great day.
Hi Barbara. Yesterdays card is as gorgeous as todays, I love the chicks and the eggs. Pretty flower too. Laughed all over again re-watching you and Dean shrink plastic no 2 : ) Forget about Pearl and Dean films at the cinema, it should be Gray and Dean films. How funny that would be, you bounce off of each other so well. I could watch you all day : ) Wishing you a Happy Easter. Take care.
Gorgeous card and I loved watching the video! You two are a fab double act – I laughed lots! xx
Morning Barbara, this is a lovely card, I shall watch the video later when I have time.
Have a fantastic day

Always good for a laugh when you and Dean get together. Love the shrink plastic chicks. Another beautiful card from you. Thank you for sharing and the laugh too. Happy Easter. xxx
Hello Barb. A very Happy Easter to you and yours. That Dean is such a card. How you manage not to crack up is amazing. Love those stamps and all you do. xx Margaret Col.
Hi Barbara,
What a beautiful card. I am as sitting here behind my stall at an antique fair watching you and Dean with my earplugs in trying desperately not to laugh out loud!!!! I am getting some strange looks so perhaps it's not working. Thank you for cheering this dull day up. Happy Easter to you and yours. Love Bev xxx
Brilliant as always, watched Dean making a pergamano butterfly earlier, it was fantastic.
We love Terri Lucas too, we are always made so welcome at THE CRAFT DEN, we have a caravan in Heacham and visit her all summer, we're due a visit soon. Love reading and learning from you Barbara, Happy Easter xx
Just fantastic, love Dean, so funny. Happy Easter everyone
Stunning card love the colours dean cracks me up every time I watch him best presenter on c&c brilliant duo you make happy Easter Sunday xxx
It was good to see that again! Must get the chicks – I can't keep making rabbits appear from eggs! Happy Easter!
Lovely Easter card and watching you and Dean has certainly brightened up a wet miserable Easter Sunday. Thanks Barbara and Happy Easter!
Happy Easter Barbara. Hope the sun is shining in Kent and you're all having a nice weekend.
Lovely project, I wish my shrink plastic turned out as well, I just can't get to grips with it.xxx
Trying to decide whether to attack the garden in the sunshine, or craft. I think your post has inspired me to get into the craft room – I still haven't used my new stamps that I ordered from you before my holiday, so it's about time….! Happy Easter – Susan x
So funny. Dean always makes me laugh. Love the card btw!
That was funny, not tried shrink plastic maybe one day. Lovely card very smart. Hope you and Dave have had a good day. I cooked dinner for my son and his girlfriend then spent couple of hours with some friends just catching up.
Wish we had a good craft shop near us, got a Hobbycraft but does not have the personal touch. Enjoy rest of hol. Lynne xx
Love those shrink plastic chicks-and Dean did quite well considering!
Well worth watching xxx
Happy Easter to you Barbara and all
XxRuth
Happy Easter Barbara, Dave and everyone at Clarity including the Design Team. I remember this demo on the television and don't think I have ever laughed so much, especially when Dean's shrink plastic appeared to curl right up. He did well to rescue it. Love the card and hope you have had a great Easter Sunday.
Happy Easter Barbara…I remember this well as not only was it really funny, but I emailed the show with a question and my email was pulled out of the Cup of Chance, so I have Dean's shrink plastic chicks with the scissor mark!! xx
This is a lovely Easter card these stamps are great I love the little chicks and must get them sometime when funds allow, next Easter perhaps! Happy Easter to you Barbara.
Lovely card, I love playing with shrink plastic. Great video, I must have missed that show, blooming hilarious 😀
My top tip for shrink plastic is to use a pokey tool to stop it from blowing all over the place x
A very cute card and VERY funny video, I love seeing you demo with Dean as laughter is always guaranteed! x
Thanks for all your inspiration. Greatly appreciated! 🙂
I took your Bloopers and the two shrink plastic videos with me at the weekend on my Kindle fire, and they were such a great lift when I started to feel sorry for myself. It does not matter how many times I watch them, they always make me laugh. xx
Such a fun video. You and Dean make a great comedy double act – and the card was lovely too!
I love the gold theme to this card, just the perfect Easter colour. The shrink plastic video is a hoot and using it will always bring a smile to my lips, The finished chicks are just so sweet. x
I love these chicks, I couldn't resist the sale and bought all these stamps and the egg ones too, can't wait to have a play.you and Dean together are hilarious!I hope you had a good Easter break too!Wx
