I hope you like the new Happy Alphabet stamps and Groovi. What’s not to like though! Let’s take…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Bit of a scramble here, prepping for LIVE TV on HOCHANDA tomorrow. 11am 1pm and 3pm. whilst stopping to cuddle the kittens. Quite a lot…. Then I stopped and looked at the designs in front of me, properly looked. 11am and 3pm I am showing off exquisite illustrations by clever Mel Turner: the Treescape and the Town Houses; two of our best selling, most popular designs, converted to clever 3-way overlays. So cool to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sunday’s blog a Step by step project, right? Well, today marks the beginning of a special week at Clarity, and so I asked a very special lady to help me with a very special project for you! Josie has rustled up a BEAUTIFUL project for you, using none other than the first of the Groovi Twas The Night Collection which were half price on TV yesterday. Make a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy this…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Oh boy! What a busy 2-hour TV show on HOCHANDA that was! If you missed it, you can catch up on HOCHANDA.com . They store it for about 7 days, if I’m not mistaken. We do like the old Clarity Classics, don’t we! For me, using the Speedball Brayer is like putting on a really old, comfortable pair of slippers. And with these new Backdrop stamps of ours, it spreads the ink so well….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. This here blog’s been going a while, hasn’t it? Since October 15th 2013 in fact ! That’s 7 years, every single day, until a fortnight ago, when I stepped away for a week, to help my parents. That’s about 2,550 blogs, back to back. Crikey. Where does the time go? You may recall that way back then, I composed a little ditty, to give the blog (or maybe more ME!) a structure, a guide….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been arty crafting all day here in the SHAC, and am all set and ready for the 9am HOCHANDA TV Show tomorrow, showcasing the new Doodleology Collection, designed by Cherry Green. These are just fabulous. I’ve prepped far more than I’ll ever be able to squeeze in in two hours (9am and 1pm), but the ideas just kept flowing – and you know how it is – just couldn’t stop! Here’s one of the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Here’s a little poppet from the Flower Collection for you called Poppy, framed with the frame from our SHAC-Shack Kite set… Picked a page with Grace at the top…. Can we clean up the face and get rid of the print? Yep. White eraser pencil. Colour in, add a drop shadow – then tear up!! Really?? Mmmm. Maybe overcooked it a bit with the tearing! Keeps going undeterred…patches it up a little….mounts it on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Typing extra fast here, because I’m back on HOCHANDA.com telly at 3pm with those adorable Printed Parchment Poppets. Yep we knew you’d love them! Got a bit tongue tied earlier, trying to explain that the front of these is like the back of our coloured parchment, and that you have to use the back as the front if you want to emboss patterns into coloured areas!! Hahahaha! Clear as mud, right? Maybe I’ll do…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Mind the piles of demo boxes and stuff as you come in though! Looks like it’s been burgled in here!! I really ought to have a quick tidy up before tomorrow morning. The Birthday celebrations start officially on Friday at 10am, but we’ve got 2 live hours of Pergamano tomorrow before that, and we’re SKYPING LIVE into the studios from the SHAC SHACK! The Pergamano Shows: Thursday 3rd 11am (Barb) Clever Baubles and Snowflakes…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sunny day. Mum and Dad day. All round Fab day. Good conversation, great advice. I love to sit with them and just BE. Tomorrow at 2pm it’s HOCHANDA TV time, and we’re getting some of my all time Clarity faves out of the cupboard. The Flyaway Boy, for starters. Stamped on our new fabulous Stampboard. Blimming excellent. Here’s a little demo which didn’t get recorded for TV. Not because it didn’t cut the mustard!…
