Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. Mum and I have had another great day in Baden Baden, and it isn’t over yet! Today was grocery shopping day. You see, the main reason we make this annual expedition to the Fatherland, is so that Mum (and I!) can buy all the German Wurst and Speck and fabulous food that you can’t get in England. Don’t get me wrong! We scoured most of the Lidls in the Southeast corner before we…
Thanks for popping in! Sorry I’m so late blogging today, but we just had to make the most of the sunshine. We could see the black clouds over Will’s Mum’s house all day, but we were so lucky! I was also very lucky with the Spa Hotel I picked. Had no idea where it was located – didn’t even know it had a swimming pool let alone the full spa works – just knew it was in Baden Baden! So…
Hello there!Thanks for stopping by. Thursday’s blog is something blue, so here’s a blue Shaving foam piece which I want to adapt… I’ve done a short You Tube Video on how to make cool shaving foam backgrounds. I’ll put the link at the end for you, just in case you’ve forgotten how it goes… But let’s carry on with this pic, shall we? I just had to use my lad again. I LOVE this stamp! Boy and Birds There’s not…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, so here’s a brand new kit which was showcased on TV recently. Oak Deer Set The question is : Is it a he or a she? Well, girls don’t have antlers for a start! So unless she’s wearing falsies, it’s a boy! Is it a Moose, or is it a Stag? mmmm… the jury’s out on that one! Let’s have some fun either way! Let’s only use a part…
Hi there! Welcome to YouTube Tuesday. Advent Day 9. Christmas is getting closer… Well, here’s one of the oldest tricks in the book, not a Christmas project, but I am very aware of the fact that there are so many new people joining us here in Clarity Craft World, that it is important to go back through the archives and highlight the key techniques from the past. If you want to make a Christmas shoe, just change the colour and…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by here on Advent Day No. 8. I am hoping that you don’t mind my not doing Christmas for 24 straight blogs; I don’t think I could take it! Yesterday on the TV show, the Owls literally flew out, and I didn’t get to do any artwork with them. Mel drew them and they are fabulous! Remountable Owl Stamp I want to show you a simple inking trick too… So here’s a cool step by step,…
Hello there ! Advent Day No. 6, and the first Sunday. Thanks for stopping by. It’s TV today! 9am-11am Create & Craft. If you take the time out of your Sunday to watch, then thank you. Two hours is a long time to sit still for anything! Well, after yesterday’s very arty canvas blog, which I am happy to report went down a storm, I thought we’d mix it up a little, and have some simple candle fun. It being Advent…
Happy Saturday! Advent Day No 6. I am so chuffed and excited to present you with this artwork! It’s so different for me, but sooooo easy!! Sam Crowe flew down from oop Norf this week, to help give me the kickstart I needed, just show me a few tricks – and before you could say clean your brushes, I was away. So today’s the day that we begin a new Journey: Canvas for Clarity. Let me show you what I…
Hello there! Nice to see you again. Friday’s blog a private peek? So here’s a little glimpse into our Friday last week. And you thought all we do is make stamps & stencils… We attended the Annual Family Business Place Conference at the Royal Institution, London. Fabulous place. Busy, interesting day. You may recognise some of the Clarity Team mingling here. Last year, I was honoured to be the Opening Speaker. Must have done something right, because I was privileged to…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Advent Day No. 4 and it’s Thursday’s Blue Blog. So I thought I’d showcase Madonna and some fabulous embossing glitters. So off to the cupboard to find Madonna. Well God bless my daughter Grace, because last time she was home she organised my stencils into folders. Just take a look at this… At the front there are mini graphics of all the stencils in this particular folder, so I can flick straight to the…
