Hi there. Happy Friday to you! Blimey! You weren’t kidding when you said you wanted an indexing system for your Groovi Plates! Talk about order online! Those young people who think we more mature women don’t know how to navigate their way around a website are sooooooooo wrong !!!! Same goes for the Half-Price Member’s Sale which has been going on all month until the end of February. Our phones went down most of this week because of flooding somewhere…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Here’s something many of you have been requesting: An indexing solution for your Groovi Storage. Re-peelable label indexing stickers. Moving forward from after the TV shows this March at the NEC, all our Groovi Plates – new and old – will each come with a re-peelable label on the plate inside the packet, at no extra cost, with a picture, what we call it and the code number. So you can peel the label…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog usually comes from the heart, doesn’t it? But I’m thinking we may have to move our art for the soul day to another day, because we have so many TV shows on a Wednesday now! Today, for example. Rosie is launching a cracking set of Baby Mandala Plates and Stamps this evening at 6pm. Really beautiful. The Clarity Team have, once again, done our plates proud. By showcasing a few of the…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Excited to be launching these two new stencils here today. EARTH IS SINGING Mel drew them, and they are fantastic. Absolutely blimmin’ beautiful. I hope you enjoyed that little session? I certainly did! So there’s a super special 20 % OFF these 2 beauties for their launch – and – as with all our YouTube Tuesday Offers, it will be honoured until next Tuesday. The other ingredients I used in the video are also…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Was clearing away yesterday’s mess on my desk, so I could do today’s blog, and the shrink plastic from yesterday beckoned to me again…. It occurred to me that perhaps we can shrink lace too… So I got out the round Gelpress Petite and a couple of Archival ink pads, brayered some ink onto the round which is mounted on its little Megamount, then placed the lace swatch over the shrink plastic sheet, and…
Hiya! Thanks for popping in. After a long day walking the NEC Trade Show in Birmingham, what better way to unwind than play with shrink plastic ?!? So I took one of our lovely Art Nouveau stamps, and turned it into a brooch. Look! Complete with pin on the back. Fab Set! I used the larger panelstamp. The shrinking took less than a minute in the Aga… How did I add the colour? Before the shrink. Brilliance pads and Versamagic…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Writing very fast here. Got a friend coming round, and we’re all going for a walk. So with her in mind, I want to just spend half an hour contemplating the essence of friendship whilst I make a simple card, using an old favourite. I LOVE this stamp. Ironically, the bamboo with birds comes with another favourite of mine, called entwined humming birds. What a superb set they are. Old is gold, eh? Entwined…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Wall plaques. They always draw me in. I have to cross the street and find out who resided there… round the corner from marylebone train station You know this property was for the well-to-do back in the day. Still is, I’m sure! Shame about the metal grid on the windows. Sign of the times? So who do you think lived in a house like this? Ahhh. The Razor’s…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s a good job I have learned not to say what I think. Because if I said what I thought right now, it would make some people blush, it would embarrass others, it would give the gobby few a platform to accuse me of not understanding how a democracy works. And despite being asked to tread gently and be kind, they will come bulldozing through the lives of my friends, blurting out their opinions and…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Great day today. Very long but also very fruitful and constructive. Came home to test some delightful new stamps which lovely Linda Williams has designed, and well! I just had to see whether the lineart really was as fine as it looked… Oh yes. Splendid print on an inky scrap. This stamp collection is superb. Wait till you see the rest of the collection – the feathers, the arrow and the peacock himself! Actually, these…
