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…
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. 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. I hope you are enjoying our Tutorial blogs this month? We are certainly building an interesting little library of ideas and inspiration – both here on this blog, and on the Clarity Matters Blog, where all our parching experts are hanging out! I must say, we are in very, VERY good company. The Gelpress plate has certainly been a game changer in my arty crafty world. It gave me a bridge from craft to…
Hi everyone, Paul here.I hope you are all well and staying safe. As part of the January Bloggy Tutorial Event, Barb has allowed me to take over her blog for the day to showcase our beautiful range of Fresh Cut Dies. Today I wanted to share with you the Botanical Range designed by our good friend Mel Turner – an amazing illustrator. At 1pm and 3pm today I was on Hochanda showing what you can achieve with our dies. If…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Time for another step by step blog tutorial with a great special sale offer attached to it. Several people have asked me to explain how to use our new Backdrop stamps to create those arty, grungy backgrounds. Very easy and very effective. Read on… First of all, let’s take a look at the Rectangle backdrop stamps. Two different sizes: one A5 and one a little large than A6. At first glance, they look like…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Snow here today. Just a light sprinkling. When I was a kid and it started to snow, my Mum would always tell me that God’s housekeeper, Frau Holle, was shaking out the featherbeds, the eiderdowns. “Frau Holle shüttelt die Betten aus.” Isn’t that a lovely notion? Stayed with me all my life. As soon as I see a slight flurry of snow in the air, Frau Holle is busy again. On Sunday we showcased…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Got caught up in art today, which is not a bad thing. Only downside is that I was supposed to be prepping for telly on Sunday, but got swept away with a Castle Mask and a lovely background Designer paper! It only takes a few of my favourite things to send me off on a tagent. And then, when I am in the job, when I am immersed in the process, there’s nothing for…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Up bright and early, and heading off to Mum and Dad’s for the day. But before I shoot the crow…. Our Gray Sale has gone mad again.

Many of you have taken advantage of our GRAY WEEKEND SALE by now, I know. And many of you have been…
