Hi there! It’s beginning to feel a bit like Christmas in my head. Only about 7 weeks before Grace and Mark come home! They’ve booked their flights, and they’re home for about a fortnight! I know they’re all grown up now, and they live thousands of miles away. But they’re still my kids, and I am still their Mum. And when the family gets together at Christmas, I so look forward to it! Remind me of that on Christmas Day,…
Hi there If I had to pick a set of stamps for my Desert Island stash, the 3-way overlay town houses would definitely feature. And if I could smuggle a die-cutting machine onto the island, and run an extra long extension cord to the beach, then the die would have to go in my carry-on luggage too! PLAYTIME!!!! I’ve dug out a Youtube tutorial that I did a while ago, which really does this stamp set justice. Very cool Christmas…
Hi there The weather is certainly changing here in the South East of England. Much needed rain. We saw the huge lorries bringing water to fill up the local reservoirs last week, and we still have an official drought. Bonkers. I have to keep my thoughts in today; otherwise I get anxious. My job is to stay focussed on steering Clarity through the storm. These are uncertain times, and I for one benefit greatly from getting out of my head…
Hi there! Happy Sunday to you! What a very enjoyable day yesterday! We hosted our first online Gel Plate printing Course in the Clarity Circle. Jazz and I spent a smashing, creative day together, together with many of you ! If you did attend, I hope you learnt loads and had a great experience. If you did, please leave a review on Clarity Worldwide or below; one that you would allow us to use in our promotions. The thing is…
Hi there Remember when we drew a set of seasonal beauties in the SHAC? We worked off a download grid, which gave us our spacing. It’s still available, by the way! Circle by circle, pattern by pattern, we drew a brilliant mandala together. I took some photos as we went along… Then we drew a little basic tree scene in the centre. This we changed to fit the seasons. And voila! We made a very cool set of versatile stamps…
Hi there Happy October 14th! Always a special day in our home – it’s Mum’s birthday. And so I shall meet up with brother Steve and Sheila, to take Mum for a nice lunch. We are so lucky – and we know it. She is 88 and going strong. Still runs her household like a well oiled machine, does all her own cooking and cleaning, laundry and ironing – and won’t have it any other way. She really is a…
Hi there. She’s back! Happy to fire up the SHAC bus this morning at 10. Let’s get together and finish up our Hopi Indian Kachinas together. Actually, let’s have a good old catch up, too. I’ll tell you all about what I did last week while we add a flash of colour and do a little shading… Then at 2, I thought it was a perfect day to bring out those Elementree stamp sets of ours. Absolutely LOVE these. The…
Hiya. It’s me again! Barb is back tomorrow, so how about a last little special offer on a fab festive set of dies? I love using these dies, and they are popular with our Clarity community too. They really lean into the spirit of the Christmas story. How does half price, plus your club discount, sound? I did speak to Barb, and she agreed that these are special, so we can run this offer until Midnight Friday. Whether you go…
Hiya! Sue here! Are we feeling festive yet? I really ought to get cracking with cards and pressies! Tell you which Christmas stamps I really like on the website. It’s those toys Wooden Toys we did last year. Especially the deer! Know which ones I mean? The stamps sets are so cute! And since our Barb has been in the woods with Dave all week, making chairs out of logs, I thought it only fitting that I get our wooden…
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…
