Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Sunday. Dave and I decided to work this morning, “to get ahead of the week ahead” as we say! He was heading for our Clarity Printroom, to die cut 5×5 inch scored white card blanks on the old Heidelberg press. They’re for next Saturday’s new Card-stitch packs. Conversation ran like this… Me? I just had to empty all the demo boxes from last Friday’s TV shows, and make a start on what’s coming…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s nice to be indoors today. It is persisting down outside! Raining the proverbial cats and dogs! And Ragnar is out there in it somewhere! We reckon he’s got a hide out and a little minx on the side. We reckon Ragnar Lodbrok is leading a “double-life” … Erik the Red on the other hand, is curled up asleep in front of the Aga, like any other sensible, self-respecting Viking! Yesterday was busy. TV…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just got in from Day 1 of our Clarity retreat. I think the projects we covered were well received. Most people seemed pretty happy with their day’s work. I’m always rather apprehensive before a workshop, especially when there’s a brand new technique on the menu. But to be honest, whilst it’s true to say you can’t please all the people all the time, the results speak for themselves . And when I took a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I did a demo on TV a couple of weeks ago, using a plate to make a landscape. It’s something I did many, many moons ago, and our Eileen Godwin reminded me of it recently. So I decided to get the idea back out of the cupboard – and put a modern twist on it!! Then a few folks saw the artwork but not the demo, and were curious as to how it was…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thanks for watching me hop about on Create & Craft yesterday. I do love building scenes and cool quotes. Well, here’s a demo I have rustled up to music, which showcases both! Bingo! I also used one of those super new plaid stencils in the background on a Gel Press… Here’s a list of the ingredients, with links to our website…. It’s a seriously serious sale! Anything from 40 to 70% off. But…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I’ve been prepping for the Summer Retreats today. You know, working out a teaching plan, getting the projects that we are going to be doing ready. There’s a new idea, a cool technique that I’ve been developing, and finally figured out. I’m quietly excited actually! (not that quietly, says Dave!). Haha. I came skipping into the kitchen like I’d won the lottery! I’ve spent hours in my head, figuring out how to do this,…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Let’s plays TITS! They’re In The Sale! Hahaha ! That’s just too much. Ok . Let’s just plays ITS then… Moving on swiftly… Thought I’d set myself a challenge: take the same Butterfly Tree stampset, same Woodland masks set, …and make two cards in 15 minutes. Start the clock! I even managed to get my bloggy hat on, and take photos as I went! Here’s a quick step by step… Next one…. Of course,…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s been super busy at Clarity today. Our Half Price Members’ Sale is now in full swing! The first day is always the busiest. The next busiest day is always the last one, before the doors close. Funny that x We recently launched a collection of clever Voucher Pouches, which I really like. The numerous little stamps which come with the die cut pouches etc are superb. I thought I’d show you a step-by-step…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Enjoying the heat ? Scorchio!! Did you manage to watch the Felt by Clarity Christmas shows at the weekend? I love that Tree design! I did show off a little trick using the outer strips of felt, which gave a really neat pattern. Here’s a step by step… Love this look! Dee did a couple of samples using the same technique. All the Felt Kits and felt packs etc are available HERE TIme to…
