Hi there Thanks for popping in. Early early here. All washed and packed, waiting for Paul to pick me up at 5.30, and then off we go, to the TV Studios, to set up for a couple of TV shows today: 1pm & 4pm on Create & Craft. They are long days, those TV days! But we are grateful for the opportunity x What are we showcasing? Well, at this time of year, when it’s cold and grey most days,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Ready for something totally cool?!? Finally, we can unveil the first set in our brand new Abstract Layout Series, inspired by Linda Williams’ Easy Layout Groovi Collection. You can see where the idea has come from. Thanks Linda!! CLICK HERE FOR GROOVI We have designed 5 Stamp and Die sets altogether, and will be launching/releasing one each month. Different layouts, different topics, different worker stamps and fabulous infused papers to boot! When? Tomorrow, Friday…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. New year, new gear! I thought I’d talk about our Groovi system today. Can you believe it’s been nearly 9 years since we introduced Groovi to the world of parchment? June 2015!! Where does the time go? Linda Williams quickly saw that our Groovi system would breathe new life into parchment craft, something she cherishes and prizes above all else. She has been helping us, advising us, designing and creating for us since those…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Big Day for Clarity! Big day today on Create & Craft. And a Big Day for a certain lovely woman we know too! Our good friend Deborah Wheeler makes her TV debut today at 1pm & 4pm Deb will be showcasing a brand new collection of Floral Panel stamps designed by our lovely Jazz 4 x A5sq and 1 x A7 stamp sets Superb stamps, so useful! And these are right up Deb’s street,…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. At Clarity we have been designing alphabet stamps and Groovi plates for as long as I’ve been in business! I think, whilst I am emotionally attached to the Nursery Rhyme Alphabet, because it was the first, and because it reminds me of my kids, and because it hails back to sunnier times when we lived in Northern California, my favourite is actually our Phonic Floral Alphabet, which I drew a few years ago. Here…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy day at the office here. Dave and I are attending the Creative World Trade Show in Frankfurt at the end of the month, so there are quite a few boxes to tick. Show Registration – tick. 3-day passes – tick. Flights – tick. Hotel – tick. All done! Well chuffed with myself. Hahahaha! If we get to Frankfurt on the right day, have a hotel room 3 minutes walk from the Conference Centre,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Big day today! Our good friend Jane Telford makes her TV debut today! Where? On Create & Craft, What time? 11am & 3pm What will she be doing? Heading up the Pergamano Shows for 2024. A very good friend indeed, not to mention crafter extraordinaire! So talented! And not only in the world of parching; her papercrafting in general is excellent. She could just as easily head up stamping, stencilling, mixed media and die-cutting…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I hope you‘re in the warm, and safe. The dreaded L for Lurgy finally caught me, so I’m staying home and drinking lots of ginger T for tea! Nothing sinister; just a couple of days indoors. If you are a fellow SHACker, you will know that last week we embarked on illustrating a new alphabet together… If you missed the first episode, you can watch HERE The second episode was on Monday HERE. Given…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! In a bid to start blogging daily, here’s a quickie, just shining a light on this evening’s TV Show at 6pm on Create & Craft, and our Nutcracker SHAC straight afterwards at 7pm. Christmas may be around the corner, and the goose may well be getting fat – but the Clarity Show must go on! Dear old Paul headed off up to the TV studios this morning, to get set for 6pm. Then 9pm,…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Sincere apologies for not blogging for a while – there’s a lot going on here, and I just seem to run out of hours! But I promise to try harder in the New Year! The other thing is, I don’t believe in spreading misery, and unless I can be positive, I’d best keep quiet. 2023 has been a challenge, there’ve been a few dark days, and on those days I tend to retreat to…
