Hello there. Thanks for stopping by. Here’s a lovely new stencil which was aired for the first time on TV last week. The Deer Heart Stencil I want to show you how to create a layered doily look… You need an 8 x 10 Gelli Plate and a Speedball Brayer. Spread Latte Adirondack over the Gelli Plate with the brayer. Lift the Gelli Plate on its Mega Mount and plant the ink on a sheet of large Gelli Card. Peel the…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. We stampers are always looking for cool background ideas, so here’s a real simple, quick technique you may enjoy trying! Items Used: Adirondack Alcohol Inks.

Hello there! Happy Monday! It’s tipping down here in Kent! Lovely day to be back at work actually. We have soooo much on at the moment, that I dug deep for today’s blog, and found one of my oldest and most favoured cards, which I must have been hanging on to for at least 10 years. Call me a hoarder, it’s fine, I can take it; but I bet you understand when you see it… The edges are rough and…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Had a little lie in today. The flight back from New York was pretty uncomfortable. It never ceases to baffle me how cramped and packed the back of the plane is – you know, the large area where the peasants (those who paid a mere £1,000 for the privilege of flying the friendly skies) get to huddle. The most entertaining part of the flight was watching two stewardesses get into a bitch-fight, with one…
Hello there! Thank you for stopping by. Thought I’d put another spin on a water-colour paper piece. Am loving the water-colour paper ; you will see why in a minute… Cut the water-colour paper to 7″ x 7″. Brush Wild Honey to and fro, using your Clarity brush. Then Fired Brick. Are you having Déja Vue? Have you seen this before? Add Lettuce in the gaps. Ringing any bells yet? Come on! Here’s the clue! Got it yet? This is where…
Hello there! Thanks for popping by. Am having a lovely lovely time with Grace Who is just a bundle of fun and energy. I have to say, I almost bought tickets for Inky Boots! Ooh I thought! I wonder what that’s about! Until I realised the K. Seen it. Great film anyhow! Times Square. Even crazy at 10 in the morning. But don’t look up – it’ll make you dizzy…. And then you turn off the main drag, and boom!…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Something different today. So often I hear people say they would love to leave a comment, but don’t know how. It can be very frustrating. Some people struggle with their phones and their Ipads etc. But it’s all a lot easier than we think. Don’t look at me like that!!! If the wind turns…. So I thought let’s find some answers… Believe me when I tell you I only figured it out by pressing…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Just in time to try out the latest in snazzy Christmas attire! This Jumper Set was launched on TV on Sunday, but sold out before we could get to it, so I thought it merited a good airing. I love it! Jim designed the Jumper stamp set, and when Dee came up with stamping it on calico – well it just looks SO REAL!!! It even FEELS authentic! Just like the kind of jumper…
Hello there! Here we are in New York, and the weather is beautiful. Great time of year here. YouTube Tuesday is a wintery scene! Hope you like it. I did something similar in the New Design Club a few months ago, just more involved as I recall. If you haven’t heard of our Clarity Stencil and Stamps Clubs, do go and check it out on the website. www.claritystamp.co.uk/New-Design-Club If you enjoy what I do, you’ll love the monthly instalments and…
Hello there. Thanks for dropping in. I am actually on my way to New York today, just for a week, to see Grace, my lovely girl. But I didn’t want to abandon the blog for a week, so had a very busy few days, and prepared some nice things for the week ahead. Why don’t you let it go? I hear you say, Just for a week! But you see, it’s a challenge I set myself almost a year ago, …
