Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hot or wot ?!? So how about a cool wintery scene project which I prepped for telly last week but didn’t get to… It’s a Jayne Nestorenko design. One of our smaller winterlandscape scenes. This will cool you down! Use one of our large stampboard squares to stamp the snowman scene into the middle. Find a designer paper which compliments the scene and layer it behind one of the Clarity framers. Nice piece of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Are you ready for a special Linda Williams treat at 6 pm this evening? Well, get the kettle on and be prepared to treat yourselves! A TV show not to be missed on Create and Craft… Linda Williams has worked her creative magic once again with a set of 6 brand new fabulous Easy Layout plates. They give you instant frames for any – and I mean ANY – parchment art. Not only are…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Today we are shining a little light on a dear friend, a lovely lady and a super talented designer: Jayne Nestorenko. Many of you will remember her from Create and Craft TV; she was the most gently spoken, talented artist – with a wicked sense of humour. Bone dry and so funny xx A while before she lost her battle with cancer at the beginning of 2017, she asked me to look after her…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just want to shine a light on our SHAC, our wonderful Safe Happy and Creative group. It started on the first day of Lockdown in 2020, and it’s been going ever since. In the beginning when we didn’t know what was going on in the world, we stuck together every single day, and there were over 500 of us; nowadays there are still 200 loyal and lovely Shackers. We meet twice a week, Mondays…
Hi there! thanks for popping in. After a busy day of Lino Cut Stamping shows, we are waiting patiently until 8 pm to launch our fabulous little Gnome collection! And of course also available as Groovi plates… You may remember Be Güd Do Güd and Feel Güd from our doodles in the SHAC? And our crackers and colouring postcards too… Well, these little fellas and the billboards are a must have!! Wait till you see how cool they are! I‘m…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. What’s coming up in Clarity world then? Well, let me tell you we’ve got nothing but loveliness planned for the whole weekend – starting tomorrow! Mind you, Paul’s already been busy today with our other company Pergamano, on the new Create & Craft TV channel. If you managed to watch, you will have seen those beautiful snowflake grids. Aren’t they special? I remember when Tina designed them and showed us how gridwork works. Paul…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Well it looks as if it is going to be a scorcher of a day down here in Kent, so I thought I would get in early and tell you all about Saturdays TV show with Tina Cox. For those of you who attended our recent Open Days in Ditton, you will have had the opportunity to watch Tina work her magic! For those of you who didn’t, then don’t worry you can see Tina on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’ve said this before, and I shall say it again: I consider our 3-way overlay stamps to be the best stamping design idea we’ve had in many years. I really do. And now I’m into Lino-cutting, and thereby have gone further down the road of printing and letterpress printing, I appreciate them even more! So I was pretty surprised to see we are retiring a few of them, and have included a selection of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We’re making a start on a little factory outlet/shop and workshop space here at Clarity Towers. It will be brilliant to finally do what we set out to do when we took on this huge building prior to the COVID lockdown. Over 2 years later, and we’re only now getting to grips with a key reason we relocated in the first place!! Once again, we are turning our attention to education, education, education. If…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny days here in the South east of England. I’m still basking in the afterglow of the Clarity Open Days; it was such a tonic to be back in the same room with like-minded friends, fellow Clarity Designers and just a bunch of good people. Absoutely brilliant actually. But it takes me a little longer to recover than it used to, so please forgive the bloggy delay! And this evening is the last…
