Hi there Came in from the garden because – wait for it – it’s too hot in the sunshine!! When will we Brits ever get it right ? 😂😂😂😂. Decided to blog (in the cool shade) about tomorrow’s Clarity TV show at 2pm. I spent yesterday prepping and playing with the new stamps and beautiful new leafy BOW-WOB papers. Oh boy. Prepare to be impressed…. Here’s a little taster from a Gel Plate demo. The papers look fantastic just coloured…
Hi there If you watched our Clarity TV today at 10 and 2, then you will have seen us lauding the praises of our Sam’s fabulous Mixed Media papers. They really work well with the new Landscape masks. Look! You can get three whole sets for less than a tenner, plus club discount. HERE I found a particularly effective little section of one sheet, which worked a Tree-t with the masks. Here’s a photo step-by-step… Add a little pink around…
Hi there Apologies for not writing for a week! The days have been so busy, with the Members’ Sale and all the Clarity TV shows we did, to shine a light on various stamps and stash in the sale, that I really didn’t have any steam left by the time I got home! But the sale has been very popular – thanks to your loyal custom – and now we focus on getting all those orders picked and packed. Please…
Hi there Just got off the phone to our friend, Janice Phillips. She’s wending her way down to Kent this evening, in readiness for the launch of her beautiful BEAUTIFUL photo stamps on Clarity Social TV tomorrow at 10am. We’re calling them her Timestamp Collection. I have been playing for hours! We’ve also been busy printing postcards. Simply perfect… The thing about these images, is that they work so so well with so so many different backgrounds. Whether you want…
Hi there According to the specialists, the Moon Phase for today and tonight: Jan 23, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. Yep. Sounds about right to me. Sky is quite clear here in the southeast, so it will probably get colder. Then will come the winds and the rain. Perfect weather for crafting! Deborah Wheeler is back at Clarity Towers tomorrow, 10am and 2pm. She’s shining a light on some fab stamps that we came up with in the SHAC…
Hi there Snowed on the way home today. Didn’t settle, but it was nice – albeit just for a moment in time. I want to talk about that super show we had on Sunday, when we launched those new Stamp Pens and Jazz’s new KISS Seasonal Wreath Stamps. I don’t know if you watched until the end of the two hours, but towards the end, I reviewed that Landscape Mask technique which was launched last November. Remember the one? With…
Hi there. Tuesday’s blog – and the hours roll back, right? So I thought I’d roll back the hours to 10 years ago. Do you know what YOU were doing 10 years ago today? One of the biggest advantages of having a phone full to the gunnels with photos, is that I can pretty much track to the hour what my activities were a decade ago! My photos tell me even more accurately and irrefutably what I was up to…
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. 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…
