Hi! Jazz here! My turn to shine a light on something Christmassy, while Barb’s away! I thought we could take a look at some really cool Mandala dies which I actually designed myself. I got a bit carried away, and drew loads, but since this is the countdown to Christmas, let’s just focus on the festive ones! These are like miniature nested dies. Each little Mandala comprises three separate designs. If you focus on the centres below, you will see…
Hi there. Christmas Papers by Jazz – with Bonus Tags Do you remember the fabulous Christmas paper pack that Jazz designed for us last year? Well, we’ve brought it back for this festive season – and it’s just as gorgeous as ever! The collection is full of festive charm and timeless designs that work beautifully for cards, tags, small gift wrap, and all sorts of mixed-media projects. Sometimes the best things don’t need reinventing – they just need bringing out…
Ho Ho Ho!The Return of a Clarity Classic… Ah yes, the Christmas Jumper Stamp Set. One of our old Clarity classics. Like that one jumper at the back of the wardrobe, it never really goes out of fashion—it just waits patiently until the right season rolls round again. And here it is, back in all its woolly glory. The jumper stamp itself is the star of the show (buy that, and you’ll get the matching scarf, bobble hat and mittens…
Hi there Well 89 days to go, and I think it’s time to stock up on card blanks and envelopes! If you want your handmade cards to truly shine, it all starts with the foundations – the card blank. No matter how beautiful your stamps, stencils, or artwork are, if the base card is flimsy or uneven, the finished piece will never feel quite right. Good quality card blanks give your projects strength, stability, and that professional finish that makes…

Hi there. Greeting! If you watched on Hobbymaker yesterday, you will have seen the demo I did, using that Square Framework Stencil. Wow. We couldn’t load them fast enough! The demo was centred around a very cool demo that our Jane Telford made, using said stencil. Thanks Jane! Here’s the stencil, just in case you’re wondering…CLICK HERE TO FIND I do love these stencil rounds. And since we’re 91 days to Christmas today (YIKES!), how about we take a look…
Hi there Early start here. Off up to HobbyMaker, for 2 shows, 1pm and 4pm. Looking forward to them. Let’s hope things go better than last time! Err, yes. Dave is driving me up there! And what’s it all about, Alfie? Well, it’s all about Mini Makes and our A4 Sampler stamp sets. But it’s actually about a lot more than that. In a world that is going bonkers, it is important to be able to escape into art, to…
Hi there. This 100 days to Christmas idea is really making me look at the vast library of designs that we have come up with over the years! Which is quite ironic, since we are celebrating our 32nd Birthday this month too. It gives our Clarity journey real perspective. You know, where I started, back in the early 90’s, how the company, the products and the designs have evolved, where we are at now. Compiling a 100 day countdown to…
Hi there, We’re getting into the swing of this countdown now! And today is a very special landmark indeed. This is where our ongoing Birthday celebrations at Clarity meet our Christmas Countdown! At 10am and 2pm, while Paul is taking a well earned break for a fortnight, Louise and I will be launching a brand new and beautiful collection of French Lace Groovi plates, designed by our Jazz. And guess what?! Yep. They are perfect for Christmas! Tell me more!…
Hi there! 98 days before Christmas, and counting! I’m quite enjoying the structure of the blog again, getting back into it, One Day at A Time, and looking at all our Christmas stamps and stash! I’ve also been thinking about other things, like competitions, jokes, limericks – we do love a limerick! Yesterday we looked at how to enhance your cards with the Nested Square Embedders. Today, we’ll use the same stamp set, but focus on even smaller cards, notelets…
