Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s birthday weekend at the CraftStore (was HOCHANDA), so we thought we’d do something special for them, and make some funky Birthday Stamps! The 9am show certainly Happy Birthday rocked! Glad you liked them! Lisa designed the Happy Birthday stamps… Cherry Green illustrated the numbers and funky bugs…. I designed the stencils… And Dave is in charge of the cut outs! Check this out! Makes such a difference ! And in case you were…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy day at work today. Such a good buzz at Clarity. So many creative minds buzzing and clicking and whirring! We’ve got a lot of loveliness in the pipeline, and there is so much goes into designing a new range of stamps, or a new collection of papers, or a bunch of new stencils. From the sketched drawings to the labels on the packaging. And since we do pretty much everything inhouse nowadays, that’s…
Hey there Thanks for popping in. I have some really exciting news to share with you! I mentioned in the last Clarity Craft Club newsletter I wrote last week, so you may already have received that if you’re in the club, so to speak! It has been a while since I last did A Moment of Clarity. Barb’s Workin’ Life, as you know, has been put on the old backburner for the last few weeks. But this week she’s getting…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sunny Sunday, and all is well with the Gray family. I am happy and relieved to report that Dad was able to come home on Wednesday, and – after a faltering start, which a wonderful district nurse was able to come to the house to help with – things have been improving day by day. As you can imagine, it has been an uphill climb, and will be for some time to come, but…
Hi everyone! Paul here, I hope you are all well. I am up at The Craft Store studios (aka Hochanda) getting all set to launch a brand new One Day Special at 6pm designed by the lovely Linda Williams – Time for Tea, Coffee & Cake in stamps! You may recall back in March we launched the Groovi version, and if I recall rightly it flew out the door. After the show, we had many requests for them to be…
Hi everyone. Paul here. I hope you are all well and have had a good week. I have some very good news to share with you today………………… Finally, after months and months and months of waiting, the Nested Square Picot dies have finally landed – yipeeeeeeeeeee! If you are new to Clarity and all things Groovi/Pergamano/Parchment, then you may have heard the words “picot cutting” or seen it being demonstrated when we appear on The Craft Store or showcased in…
Hi everyone. Paul here. I hope you are all well. It has been another scorcher of a day down here in Kent, although it seems that it depends on what part of Kent. The other day I left the office and it was hot, hot, hot. 10 minutes into my journey the roads were soaking wet, you could feel the drop in temperature. 10 minutes further down the road and the roads were bone dry! Anyway, I thought I would…
Hi everyone. Paul here – the sun is streaming through my office window as I sit here writing to you today and the thermometer is recording 26 degrees. Anyway, since it is Friday, I thought I would review the week just gone. It sure has been all go here at Clarity Towers!

You can catch up with the 11am show HERE and the 3pm show HERE A big thanks to the…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been blitzing my artroom today. What a mess! A real shambles actually. Honestly, I have never been great at filing. When I come back from a show or a demo day, I just dump all the craft gear, and dash off to the next job, saying I’ll come back to it later – as I skip off into the distance… Thing is, if you keep doing that, you end up with this: After a…
