Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Many thanks for supporting our HOCHANDA TV shows yesterday. The Stamps and Stencils are among my absolute favourites. Here’s another easy step by step demo using the Tree and birds stencil which didn’t make the demo cut! Like I said, got carried away and made too many – even for a 2 hour show! Ready? This is pretty cool actually…. Place the stencil on an 8×10 Gelpress. Cover the whole stencil and the Gel…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Can’t stop long. The wasp buster came out this afternoon to get rid of the big wasp’s nest just in the roof above my head here, and they’re pretty angry now, so I won’t hang around too long! Should be fine by tomorrow morning, in good time for our SHAC Shack session! Anyway, I am writing extra fast here, so I can beat a hasty retreat! Did you catch the first hour of Linda’s…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sunny day. Mum and Dad day. All round Fab day. Good conversation, great advice. I love to sit with them and just BE. Tomorrow at 2pm it’s HOCHANDA TV time, and we’re getting some of my all time Clarity faves out of the cupboard. The Flyaway Boy, for starters. Stamped on our new fabulous Stampboard. Blimming excellent. Here’s a little demo which didn’t get recorded for TV. Not because it didn’t cut the mustard!…
Hi there. Haven’t played with a die for a while. Found this trap-the-scrap piece from one of our Fresh Cut Funky Foliage Leave & Trees Dies, and decided to turn it into a card for someone special. She likes a little bling, so here goes…. Trap the white card scrap from the die on a double-sided adhesive sheet. Then simply cover it in Gilding flakes. We sell lots of different colours – really nice! Use the yellow sponge to buff…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Ventured into Lidl’s on the way home from the office. Put my mask on and went a-shopping for my parents. It’s the first time I’ve been in an actual supermarket since March, unless the Marks n Sparks attached to the petrol station counts. It doesn’t. The wierdest thing is that I was really excited! Happy even. To be able to walk along an aisle in a shop and select what I wanted from the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Well, you lovely Groovi boys and girls! Have we got something special in store for you! Linda Williams has done it again! On Sunday at 6pm on HOCHANDA, we are launching a wonderful collection of Groovi children plates. Linda has created two sets of Spring Summer Autumn and Winter plates – one for the girls and one for the boys. They are just delightful. Take a look…. And the best news is that Linda…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Before I head off down the woodland path to clear the old head and blow away the cobwebs, I though I’d share what I’m currently working on: a fabulous pair of Mixed Media Woodland Stamp backgrounds. You know – those superb A5 Mixed Impressions stamps we make. Well, in keeping with our woodland doodles last week, here are 2 sets of fantastic woodland backgrounds to stamp and doodle into. Literally. It’s amazing what you…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. So glad this morning’s water colour SHAC-Shack was well received! I think we’ll have a good week, developing those new ideas and perhaps trying them out on different subjects! I had a real hankering to colour in our toadstools from last week’s woods, but was way too busy with so much else all afternoon. I saw somebody else on facebook had done it too, beautifully, and wanted to try it even…
Hi there. Thanks for poppeting in again! Oh boy oh boy! What a launch!! Proud Mum moment here. I knew you’d like these little beauties by Marina, and we made so many stamps! Hats off to Jason and the team for pulling this mega project off. It has been amazing. And just what the doctor ordered at Clarity. So thank you thank you, for watching, supporting and investing in us again. We have more of these little beauties in the…
Hi there. Thanks for poppeting in! Got these little girls on the brain at the moment! All set for the 6pm launch of Marina Fedotova’s Christmas Poppets? I sure am! I am really chuffed with myself right now. All week I KNEW I should be stamping these little cherubs on clear parchment in black, and creating a fabulous Josie Davidson grid around the outside. All week, I have been scrambling, doing demos for the TV launch, and saying to myself,…
