Hi everyone Paul here. I hope you are well. There must be something in the air at the moment, as I am super excited again today. Yesterday it was all about going back to school, and today it is all about a group of 10 elegant ladies! Oooh er missus! If you tuned into this weeks Groovi Tuesday, I gave you a sneaky peek of some brand new Groovi plates launching tomorrow on The Pergamano Show on The Craft Store…
Hi everyone Paul here. I hope you are all well. No, it isn’t the countdown to Christmas (although it is just as exciting!) There are 7 more sleeps until we go back to school – who would have thought that at my age I would be excited about going back to school!

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy day today. Busy Thinking Day. Thinking days always leaves me zapped by the afternoon. That’s okay though. It’s the WEEKEND!! And in the meantime, I’m trying to get a handle on it all !! Looking very handmade, aren’t they/! Nothing uniform here! Just as well! The cups are pretty individual too! Getting the same size takes time and practice, so I will get there eventually. Nothing that time and a little application won’t…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been blitzing my artroom today. What a mess! A real shambles actually. Honestly, I have never been great at filing. When I come back from a show or a demo day, I just dump all the craft gear, and dash off to the next job, saying I’ll come back to it later – as I skip off into the distance… Thing is, if you keep doing that, you end up with this: After a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Do you remember the beautiful butterflies and moths stamps from Cherry Green that we launched back in February? There were completed – ink it and stamp it – version, and then we deconstructed the artwork into loads of stamps, so that you could build your own art.

It’s a real simple one, but a great technique if you haveinvested in the Victorian letters or the 12 Days of Christmas numbers. Pick a Designer Paper to stamp on. Here we are using Amazonia. Let’s not waste it either…cut out the middle with a nested square Fresh Cut die. Then we can…
Hi There!Happy Monday! Sunny day here in the southeast of England. A welcome change after yesterday’s deluge! July? July?!?! What is happening ?!
