Hello there, Thanks for stopping by. This week, I thought it would be cool to combine the Gelli Plate with some Claritystamps and stencils. The Leafy Swirl Stencil and the Dotty Wave Stencil were 2 of our very first designs, and I have to say, they really hit the spot! Here, I  have used them together. See what you think… Hope you enjoyed that! Items Used: 6 x 6 Inch Gelli Plate 7 x 7 Inch Clarity Card Pack for…

Hello there! I was lying in bed this morning thinking about this new Feminine Stencil again, how to use it with a Gelli Plate, but with inks, how to make it look funky but elegant, and then it occurred to me! Don’t just lie here! Get up and do it!! Decided to use the new Mega Mount, to help me use the  Gelli Plate more like a stamp. Wait and see… Also decided to use the other lady today,  the…

Good Morning! Sorry I’m running so late! And I have scrambled to get this blog done before it’s time to dash to my parents with Grace for the family afternoon. So what I propose is that I just show you what happens when you rush, and then come back later and tell you all about yesterday.  It was amazeballs!  I saw a side of London which blew me away. But let‘s just sort out this Saturday’s Blog first! It occurred…

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, right? So here’s a lovely new Peacock stencil : 7″ x 7″ Lay the stencil on a piece of our 7″ x 7″ Gelli Plate card. Only because it’s the same size! I ran it through an embossing machine, but this is optional. I actually flipped the embossed image,  so that the peacock was recessed. Use low-tack stencil tape to hold it in place. Apply a little Pumice Stone…

Hello there! Thanking you for stopping by on YouTube Tuesday  here at Clarity. I thought it would be good to let the Gelli Plate have a rest,  and get the Gilding Flakes out. This is quick, simle and very effective. Now I know it’s June, and Christmas is many months away, but if you do make your own cards, or you are thinking about going for it this year, then this gilding flake trick on an adhesive sheet is really…

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by! It’s Monday, and I’m late again. I had fully intended to have a quick cuppa and get going. However. I have just spent 2 hours cleaning the fridge out instead. Somebody laid the litre bottle of orange juice horizontal, but the lid wasn’t on properly, so when I went to get the milk for my said quick cuppa, oh what joy! Everything – and I mean EVERYTHING  was swimming in orange juice. Sticky orange…
