Hi there Maybe you caught the 2pm show on Monday? We introduced a super useful little set of Bijou Backdrop stamps, combined with matching mini 5×5 inch BOW-WOB papers. Available HERE So what will these stamps and papers do for you? If you are a card maker, but you often wonder where to start, then THAT’s where these backdrop stamps help a lot. They are the ideal size for a mini make, and they create a perfect little background. YOU…
Hi there I was looking at this week’s Clarity TV schedule, and up popped some of our lovely Bijou entwined wreaths and SHAC framers. Deborah Wheeler is playing with them tomorrow at 10am and 2pm. I look forward to seeing what loveliness she comes up with. I LOVE these seasonal wreath-building stamps! I remember drawing them too! The thing about the Entwined Wreaths (I’ll pop the link in at the end of this ere blog), is that you can make…
Hi there Had a hankering to make a card this evening. No particular motive, except to calm my scrambled brain, distract my thoughts, focus my mind. Dad has been on my mind a lot today. I do miss him. The minute I stepped into my artroom, I could feel my shoulders relax. Time to dig out some of my favourite stamps…The House Martins and the Bijou Backdrop Stamp… Add a word that gives you hope. I found the little Japanese…
Happy New Year and Happy New SHAC idea ! We got together on Monday at 10am for the first session in 2026, and got started on what I think is going to be a great favourite of mine. And what’s the object of the project, Barb? Well, I wanted to create the illusion of strips of fabric, with a front aperture panel. Let’s look at HOW, so you can catch up with me if you fancy joining in next Monday……

Hi folks! Thanks for popping in! As promised this morning, a blog centred around those lovely new stamps Eileen and I came up with together. We had fun designing them! It’s all about the layering… Here they are, in all their glory: A4 Square stamp sets, plus their masks too. For your orientation, the longest blooms plus stems measure nearly 6 inches on this BIG BLOOMS SET. Also in A5 Square + Masks. FYI, the longest blooms plus stems measure…
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 When we get together in the SHAC on Youtube LIVE every Monday morning at 10am, we do doodle and draw a lot of different things together! Remember these beauties? I am particularly partial to these two baubles. Maybe it’s their simplicity, maybe it’s because I feel the SHAC energy. Sue has a card made with them on her wall, and I am drawn towards it every time I pop in her office. Did you know Sue has your…
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…
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…
