Harmony? When?
Hi there
Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny Sunday here in the Southeast. Pottery this morning, and back in the Clarity saddle this afternoon. Did you get a chance to watch our Clarity Mixed Media Friday TV show on the new Create & Craft? I was showcasing our lovely Blockprint stamps. I really like them. There’s something very arty, edgy and earthy about them. I think also that they can be whatever the occasion begs: vibrant and bright, soft and pastel, muted and grungy. That’s pretty rare in a design.
Here‘s a little step by step from the TV demo pile, using the round ones in a raw, earthy way. See if you can spot which stampset I found the matching border in…
choices choice. Here we stamp straight onto the 5×5 inch cardblank, then trim half an inch off the front edge, to add the border.
start in the middle.

So many options and possibilities. The brayer gives you a smooth clean print, whilst straight on the stamp with the ink pads gives you that raw, edgy look. YOU decide. They really do look like wood block prints.
But the best thing about these plates, or stamps, is that you can go bright and crisp too:

Nearly missed you then as the top picture is the same as Thursday !! great shows & love the effect of the various stamps & what you can do with them. Will sit on my hands no longer as I have a voucher to spend as well !!
Whilst having a sort out earlier I found a craft magazine from 2017 with a masterclass with yourself & the Gel press – 5 years where has that time gone.
See you in the SHAC Shack tomorrow xx
These are great stamps , missed the show unfortunately 😔
Is the border from the half circle set ?

The border is from the Thank you half circle set yes.
They look very versatile stamps. I’m really trying to use things up so I have space in my craft room so trying not to buy more until I get a gap to fill!!!
Great stamps, enjoyed the shows. xx
Hello Barb, loved the shows, and love the 2 different cards with the darker colours and the bright and bold colours. The stamps are great, have added them to the wish list. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Like Susan I am trying to clear space and thought I could give these stamps a miss for the time being. WRONG!!!
Saw your samples on the craft card, watched the shows, decided they were ANOTHER MUST HAVE.
I am terrible when it comes to resisting Clarity items, they are always so good but it is the demos that sell them to me.
Hope the pottery went well.
Stay safe. 🍒
The pain killers are fogging my brain. Just had another look – not craft card – stamped but in what colour? Sure it was mentioned but programmes have been deleted by my everhelpful OH.
