Happy 4th July! We had a Celebratory Sale launch yesterday, using a very American stencil, Friday’s blog a private peek, right? So where’s the American connection I hear you wonder. How does a girl from London end up with these strong ties to the U.S? Her daughter’s in New York, her son’s in California… It’s really easy: marry an American! Ironically, their Father is a New Yorker, although we met in Germany and lived in Northern California. Grace was born…
Howdi! Thanks for stopping by today, on July 3rd. That makes tomorrow July 4th (there are no flies on this girl!)

Here are a couple of brand new stencils which Jim rustled up today, to commemorate: The Statue of Liberty: American Love Stencil: My lovely daughter, Grace headed back to New York yesterday, so I…

Hello there, Thanks for stopping by. This week, I thought it would be cool to combine the Gelli Plate with some Claritystamps and stencils. The Leafy Swirl Stencil and the Dotty Wave Stencil were 2 of our very first designs, and I have to say, they really hit the spot! Here, I have used them together. See what you think… Hope you enjoyed that! Items Used: 6 x 6 Inch Gelli Plate 7 x 7 Inch Clarity Card Pack for…
Hello and Happy Monday. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you don’t mind, but today, I really just have to play catch up, and spend some time with the family. So I decided to simply post a piece I did a while ago, which I really, really like. Don’t know how I arrived at this screen-print look, but the offset certainly helped. I used a stencil of ours, the Dotty Leaf A5, on an 8″ x 10″ Gelli Plate…
Hello there! I was lying in bed this morning thinking about this new Feminine Stencil again, how to use it with a Gelli Plate, but with inks, how to make it look funky but elegant, and then it occurred to me! Don’t just lie here! Get up and do it!! Decided to use the new Mega Mount, to help me use the Gelli Plate more like a stamp. Wait and see… Also decided to use the other lady today, the…
Good Morning! Sorry I’m running so late! And I have scrambled to get this blog done before it’s time to dash to my parents with Grace for the family afternoon. So what I propose is that I just show you what happens when you rush, and then come back later and tell you all about yesterday. It was amazeballs! I saw a side of London which blew me away. But let‘s just sort out this Saturday’s Blog first! It occurred…

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, right? So here’s a lovely new Peacock stencil : 7″ x 7″ Lay the stencil on a piece of our 7″ x 7″ Gelli Plate card. Only because it’s the same size! I ran it through an embossing machine, but this is optional. I actually flipped the embossed image, so that the peacock was recessed. Use low-tack stencil tape to hold it in place. Apply a little Pumice Stone…
