Hi there Thanks for popping in. Looking forward to the Moment of Clarity Craftalong this evening at 7pm? I am! All set and ready to go. It just needs to cool down a little up here! Now where did I store that cool air fan? Or where is that neck fan that a lovely customer generously sent me last year?!? Hahahaha! Found them! Even changes colour! This evening we will be taking another look at those new Floral Linocut Style…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. How has your day been? Have you enjoyed it? I have.! Mind you, it got off to a very shaky start. Cannot tell you why I get so anxious and fearful – but it seems to kick in in the wee small hours, when I wake up. The head hooks into something, starts gnawing at it, then starts whizzing, starts projecting and picking up momentum. By 5am I may as well get up, because…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. If you were able to join in on the Moment of Clarity this afternoon, I do hope you got something out of the Back to Basics Stamping session! These new Lino Cut stamps are absolutely perfect for learning the stamping ropes! Even if you don’t stamp out an image perfectly, it just looks like part of the design! I have actually caught myself trying NOT to stamp out the lower half of the stamp…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Monday again, so here begins the launch of another absolutely Dee-lightful Dee Paramour, apart from being a good friend, also happens to be a brilliant PaperCrafter and Dee-signer! Did you know that she Dee-signed a whole range of papers for us too? Not digitally cobbled together. Nope. Every single paper is handmade, handstamped, hand inked. So if some of the papers look 3-dimensional, that’s because the originals really are! There are 5 8×8…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Did you join in yesterday evening on the Moment of Clarity Craftalong? We took a second look at those wonderful butterflies by Cherry Green. Stamping on parchment certainly is lovely. The properties of parchment – the stretching, the whitework, the erasing of colour, the perforating – all these things contribute to a real arty experience. I find it very creative and relaxing. And the result of that stamped black lineart on parchment always seems…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Saturday’s blog a new technique, right? New to who? Towittawoo? Quite by chance I came up with a couple of very cool bleeding heart tricks, which are really excellent as backgrounds, so I want to share with you. It’s using our Clarity Heart Backdrop Stamp, the large one. First combo-trick. Let’s use Artistry Ink pads for this one. We carry a good selection of the colours; I think they work brilliantly dry AND wet….

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just coming down after our Reflection Session in the Moment of Clarity live Craftalongabarbie. I really enjoyed that! My kinda thing! Those reflection masks hit the spot for me 100%. Like putting on a comfy pair of shoes…I did take a few photos, just in case anybody wants to check out the sequence, but to be frank, I am wiped out. Been a busy day! Between the SHAC SHAC and the 3pm hour, I’m…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Have been keeping busy and staying with my hands this week. When the head starts to wander down paths it really ought not to, I find an arty crafty session always redirects my thinking. My stinking thinking!! How about a simple step by step today, highlighting those excellent new Reflection Landscape masks which I talked about in the SHAC Shac yesterday. We have been working on these for a while now, and the result…
