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. 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. I came home and retreated to my artroom for an hour. Needed to do something for a project at work, and was in the right mood. So carpe diem and all that! It’s using one of my favourite stamp sets, drawn by our friend Mel: The Town Houses. CLICK HERE When I went to the website, lo! There was already a Youtube embedded underneath the lovely 3-way overlay stamps, showing you how to use…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. If there are two arty things I love – apart from pottery and printmaking – it’s our Overlay stamps and our Embedders. If you’re into lino-cutting or monoprinting, then you will know just how closely related our two innovations are to the world of printmaking. Let me do a simple little step-by-step for you, to demonstrate how they work. And I can tell you now. Any printmaker would be pretty impressed by how this…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Don’t know whether you watched the 3-5pm Sunday show on Create and Craft TV? It was a real trip down Memory Lane – complete with brayer!

Introducing one of our new Hexagon shapes…. Just think. You can do this…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. At Clarity we have been designing alphabet stamps and Groovi plates for as long as I’ve been in business! I think, whilst I am emotionally attached to the Nursery Rhyme Alphabet, because it was the first, and because it reminds me of my kids, and because it hails back to sunnier times when we lived in Northern California, my favourite is actually our Phonic Floral Alphabet, which I drew a few years ago. Here…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How’s the New Year shaping up in your neck of the woods? It’s been raining and blowing a hoolie here for days. Wain, wain, wain. I’ve been in my artroom, (or should I say artwomb?) prepping for Sunday’s TV show, and quite enjoying my own company. I got caught up in a Gelpress session, which was thoroughly enjoyable. You know how it goes. You’re supposed to be making the bed, you go to hang…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! HAPPY SUNDAY! Or should I say HAPPY GRAY SUNDAY?! Thank you so much for supporting us through our GRAY FRIDAY SALE.
