Hi there I’ve been up since before 6 o’clock! With Dave being in hospital, it is all a bit strange. He’s in a lot of pain, and that makes me feel anxious, too. In fact I was woken by Erik, miaowing outside the bedroom window! He’d been out all night, and normally Dave let’s him in at the crack of dawn. So he must have been sitting outside the back door, waiting patiently. Then, when Dave didn’t open the door,…
Hi there Good news! Dave had his knee surgery yesterday, and is recovering well. Before I go and spend the afternoon with him in hospital, I wanted to shine a light on today’s Clarity TV shows. Deb and Paul are set to entertain you at 10am and 2pm, with some superb stamps. Deb plans her own monthly shows, you know. She picks which stamps she would like to showcase, and we build the show around her selection. This month, I…
Hi there If you watched our Clarity TV today at 10 and 2, then you will have seen us lauding the praises of our Sam’s fabulous Mixed Media papers. They really work well with the new Landscape masks. Look! You can get three whole sets for less than a tenner, plus club discount. HERE I found a particularly effective little section of one sheet, which worked a Tree-t with the masks. Here’s a photo step-by-step… Add a little pink around…
Hi there Just got off the phone to our friend, Janice Phillips. She’s wending her way down to Kent this evening, in readiness for the launch of her beautiful BEAUTIFUL photo stamps on Clarity Social TV tomorrow at 10am. We’re calling them her Timestamp Collection. I have been playing for hours! We’ve also been busy printing postcards. Simply perfect… The thing about these images, is that they work so so well with so so many different backgrounds. Whether you want…
Hi there Snowed on the way home today. Didn’t settle, but it was nice – albeit just for a moment in time. I want to talk about that super show we had on Sunday, when we launched those new Stamp Pens and Jazz’s new KISS Seasonal Wreath Stamps. I don’t know if you watched until the end of the two hours, but towards the end, I reviewed that Landscape Mask technique which was launched last November. Remember the one? With…
Hi there It’s no good. I can’t wait any longer. It’s time to show you what’s coming up on our Clarity TV tomorrow. When? Where? Who? What?? Well, here’s WHO, WHEN and WHERE BUT WHAT? That is the question. Ready? Dave has developed a set of what we are calling STAMP PENS. They are stamp-mounts for small stamps. And boy oh boy! Are they brilliant! The thing is that you can hold them like a pen of course, but you…
Hi there! I was scrolling back through my photo library, looking for something specific. My oh my!! There’s so much artwork!! Years and years and years of projects, of step by steps. Crazy really. And I remember most of the artwork too. There’s a definite chronology, and I can see when Groovi entered the picture, when masks were introduced, when Linda came on board – it’s like a time lapse. But there‘s one collection of stamps which draws me back…
Hi there Before I head on over to Clarity Towers for our 3-5pm TV Show (on Facebook LIVE / Youtube / our own Website) I am excited to shine a light on our new Gift Vouchers / Gift Cards. They just got beautiful! Shop Gift Cards here: https://claritycrafts.com/collections/clarity-gift-cards Now, if you go to our Gift Voucher Section on the website, you simply select the £ amount you want to give, and choose the lovely Pinky Gray card you would like…
Hi there If you watched the SHAC yesterday morning, you will have seen this card I made yonks ago, using the silver birch stamp set, which I also drew yonks ago! Actually, back then, the stamps were not anywhere near as good as they are now! Back then, in order to clear emboss or glaze the tree trunks, you had to use an embossing pen for each and every tree! With this new set, the second stamp, the infill stamp,…
Hi there How about a Happy Weekend Sale? When you think there is nothing to celebrate, give yourself a reason! It’s in full flow, and sales are going very well. Thank you !! I have conjured up a picture in my mind; let me share it with you… If this website were an actual shop, an actual bricks and mortar building, with a front door and a till, and smiling shop assistants in aprons ready to assist – you wouldn’t…
