Hi there Thanks for popping in. Yesterday on HOCHANDA TV, Paul and I were showcasing those 2-way Overlay Christmas Baubles of ours. They are so easy to use – and you can make many cards quickly too, which isn’t always strictly necessary. But if you are making cards to sell, or cards for charity – or you have a HUGE family – then you can’t be spending days on one card, now can you?! Here are a couple of examples…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s all go here! Didn’t the Live Pergamano Skype with Paul and Hochanda work well?! Top banana. He’s got the same cameras and kit at Clarity Towers as mine in the SHAC-Shack now. Much better being able to flick between cameras, innit. Thank you for watching and supporting us too. Those embroidery plates are delightful – and actually very achievable. Me? I’ve been working on one of the Stamp Club Projects this afternoon. All…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Many thanks for supporting our HOCHANDA TV shows yesterday. The Stamps and Stencils are among my absolute favourites. Here’s another easy step by step demo using the Tree and birds stencil which didn’t make the demo cut! Like I said, got carried away and made too many – even for a 2 hour show! Ready? This is pretty cool actually…. Place the stencil on an 8×10 Gelpress. Cover the whole stencil and the Gel…
Hi there. Haven’t played with a die for a while. Found this trap-the-scrap piece from one of our Fresh Cut Funky Foliage Leave & Trees Dies, and decided to turn it into a card for someone special. She likes a little bling, so here goes…. Trap the white card scrap from the die on a double-sided adhesive sheet. Then simply cover it in Gilding flakes. We sell lots of different colours – really nice! Use the yellow sponge to buff…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Before I head off down the woodland path to clear the old head and blow away the cobwebs, I though I’d share what I’m currently working on: a fabulous pair of Mixed Media Woodland Stamp backgrounds. You know – those superb A5 Mixed Impressions stamps we make. Well, in keeping with our woodland doodles last week, here are 2 sets of fantastic woodland backgrounds to stamp and doodle into. Literally. It’s amazing what you…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. So glad this morning’s water colour SHAC-Shack was well received! I think we’ll have a good week, developing those new ideas and perhaps trying them out on different subjects! I had a real hankering to colour in our toadstools from last week’s woods, but was way too busy with so much else all afternoon. I saw somebody else on facebook had done it too, beautifully, and wanted to try it even…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I’d like to introduce you to a very simple but oh so brilliant addition to our Clarity product palette: our new Stampboard shapes. The material is like top quality mountboard. Porous, super smooth and fantastic for stamping on. We have it available in 4 different shapes, and each shape comes in 3 different sizes, large medium and small. When you buy the stampboard, you always get 5 of each size. In other words, you’ll…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been in meetings all afternoon, making a plan for this coming Saturday. Paul, Jilly and I are sharing the load on this one, for which I am very grateful! Way too much on my assiette at the moment! You know when you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, don’t you. So it‘s good to be able to ask a friend – or two!! We’ve been working on a new line of stamps for…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been a creative, constructive, uplifting day here. Spent the morning in my little Wendy house, prepping for tomorrow’s SHAC Shack Doodle session at 10am. Really looking forward to this coming week now I know where the bus is headed! Not going too far afield this time. I think a Staycation is in order, don’t you? Then I went for a long walk with Mel and her dogs. It rained a little, but that was…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s been quite a week in the SHAC-Shack, colouring in our Owls. Judging from the progress snapshots of Clarity Worldwide, i’d say you enjoyed it too. Don’t you get a real buzz when something turns out that well? I haven’t finished mine, but I am chuffed thus far too. Here is my little parliament before the Nightsky session today… And here they after after… Still got a bit to do, but tawittawoo! I am…
