Hi there, Thanks for popping in. We’ve been busy at Clarity, reviewing our Craft Clubs. The Clarity projects Club and Clubs have been going almost as long as I have! Of course, like me, they’ve changed over the years; matured, evolved, dare I say improved? Well, I think so. I’ve done a new video, see below, to explain what it’s all about. Much easier to TALK about it than try and write about it! Click the video to listen. …
Hi everyone, Paul here. Barb is away for the day attending business meetings, so she has asked me to tell you about the Last Call Special Offer in relation to the Half Price Fresh Cut Die sale. So, what is this Last Call Special Offer all about I hear you ask. Well, let me tell you……………. Some of you may be aware of our iiBooks – little books of Ideas and Inspiration showcasing samples created by the Design Team together…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’m kicking back today, poodling and generally being lazy. After a very busy run of TV shows, it’s time to step back, regroup, hang out with Dave – and cuddle the cats. But before I do that, let me shine a little light on a fabulous half price sale we started this morning – on one of our best best best products – our Fresh Cut Dies. How did a Stamp company get into…
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…
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 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…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been clearing up from Friday’s Facebook LIVE Moment of Clarity, when we put those cool Lino-cut stamps through their paces. Did you join us? We’ve decided to have another stampy Craftalong session with them on Wednesday, June 2nd at 7pm. So that will give you plenty of time to order them if you haven’t already got them. I’ll let you know ahead of time what else you’ll need to join in, which ink pads…
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. We thought we’d do something special this week for our Offer of the week. The Butterfly Wreath was the first Groovi Plate we designed – and it is still our most popular plate. In fact, Paul used the plate in the Groovi Tuesday SHAC for weeks when we launched that Facebook Live Craftalong. Lots of you asked us whether we could turn the design into stamps. Answer: Yep! So here we have it. The…
