Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What can WIGIG stand for, they wonder…well, please allow me to elaborate. A couple of weeks ago, we – the Clarity Crew – were having one of our weekly Zoom meetings, and Tom mentioned that we have got quite a few overruns of stamps and stencils etc. Then Leanne added that there are other very useful things where we have just a handful, but we ought to consider discontinuing them, to free up space…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Monday’s blog is Trees & Flowers, right? So let’s take a look at a rather special tree. This design is called “The Happy Couple” I drew this tree for our Wedding Invitation, as a paper cut, and we actually laser cut all our invites. Then, several crafter-friends mentioned that it would make a nice die – no sooner said than done! And that is how our Clarity Fresh Cut Dies were born: out of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Was filing away my stencils and having a general sort out the other day. Came across this lovely one: Dandelions, by Mel. I love this one. There’s something just so charming and simple and arty. I must have loved it from the very start – because it’s been made into a die, a stampset… AND a pair of Groovi plates!! We used these designs in a Craftalong on HOCHANDA too. Who joined in? The…
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…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Happy International Women’s Day !! Thoroughly enjoyed creating our tall flowers, with the lovely leggy stems in the SHAC Shac today! Did you join in? I’m loving seeing your art on Clarity Worldwide! It’s great to see so many of you saying it with flowers too. Really easy way to make a greeting card, isn’t it x It occurred to me while we were turning the stems into words, that we do have a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Went to the office today for a design meeting with Lovely Lucy and Lisa. Great session. I love working with two such creative, switched on, easy going women. Nothing is too much trouble, and they always see what I see. We are definitely cut from the same cloth when it comes to design! It was Mel’s work we were getting to grips with. Always such magnificent and original art. More will be revealed. And…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. In case you didn’t catch it in the SHAC this morning, we are starting a Groovi Tuesday ShacSHAC for all our friends who like parchment craft, or want to try their hand at our Groovi art! You’ve been asking for this for a long time – and we have listened! I’ve wanted to do it for ages, but time has always been my issue. However, Paul is happy to be the bus driver on…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. I’d like to take another look at those stamps and masks we showcased yesterday in our new A Moment of Clarity Facebook Live show, and thought I’d revisit that Smile project from yesterday in photos… Here are the products. For this particular recipe, you need the masks and the stamp. The Groovi plate I am going to tackle another day, when I’ve got more time… The 10 Feel Good Word masks are also available…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Here we are, two weeks into the new year, and it’s looking remarkably like the old one from where I’m sitting! Ah well, said the bus driver, let’s just stay in our lane, drink lots of water, and keep crafting! Our tutorial bloggy sale is going well. You are clearly enjoying the speed our Clarity bus is traveling. Lots of ideas and inspiration on both this blog and the lovely Clarity Matters blog. Did…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just came off the phone to my old, darling friend Sophia. You know, the Show circuit buddy I was telling you about in the SHAC Shac, with the Peek-&-Brim hat company and the filthy laugh? The one who woke the campsite while I was trying pump up my airbed? One and a half hours of catching up, laughter, tears, gossip, philosophy and seamlessly comfortable conversation. Brilliant. She’s a shrewd business woman too. So the…
