Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s a sunny Sunday morning here in East Sussex, and there’s a pretty keen sale on the Claritycrafts website (until midnight tomorrow). In the run up to GRAY FRIDAY, we’ve been shining a light on various aisles at Clarity Towers, and this weekend we’re taking a look down Aisle 3 – The Mixed Media section. This is where we store paints, pastes, inks, brushes, canvas boards – and all those wonderful craft products which…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Got a torch?! It gets dark so much earlier now, as we edge our way through November, doesn’t it? Much colder too. Whilst our British Autumn colours are beautifully breathtaking, the damp chill that accompanies this month is less pleasant. The torrential rains down here in the Southeast have slowed down for today at least, so Mother Earth can absorb some of the floodwaters. It’s definitely time to put away those flip flops and…

More of you will have the plates by the time we go again! We are going as fast as we can, and…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. When I opened the bedroom curtains early this morning, the sky was a beautiful pinky grey. Glorious. A room with a View. We actually have a wonderful collection of Room with a View dies, illustrated for us by our talented friend, Mel Turner. I love her work, and I particularly love this set. It reminds me of sitting on the bus from here to Brighton, and looking out over the South Downs from the…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Up with the sky lark this morning. Restless night. So much to consider, to do, to think about. Our Queen’s death has had such a profound impact on so many, including myself. Speaking personally, I’ve never been one for crowds, even less so since COVID, so although we live very close to London, I choose to pay my respects to her good self and her family from a distance. Needed to get out of…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Take 2. Let’s look again at the landscape we built out of one of the Scenescape Masks recently. This was yesterday’s blog, using the new Dandelion stamps… This time let’s use darling Ani’s flyaway boy – my absolute favourite stamp ever… Slightly different mask layout, different central image, different new Companion Paper, but also from the Waimea Falls Companion Paper book, and a wonderful script from the new Reflection stamps… Here is another step…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hot or wot ?!? So how about a cool wintery scene project which I prepped for telly last week but didn’t get to… It’s a Jayne Nestorenko design. One of our smaller winterlandscape scenes. This will cool you down! Use one of our large stampboard squares to stamp the snowman scene into the middle. Find a designer paper which compliments the scene and layer it behind one of the Clarity framers. Nice piece of…

How to use 3-way overlay stamps…

Comments 6 Comments

Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’ve said this before, and I shall say it again: I consider our 3-way overlay stamps to be the best stamping design idea we’ve had in many years. I really do. And now I’m into Lino-cutting, and thereby have gone further down the road of printing and letterpress printing, I appreciate them even more! So I was pretty surprised to see we are retiring a few of them, and have included a selection of…
