Hello there! Thanks for popping in. Sorry I am always late with this ‘ere blog nowadays; once you get behind it’s hard to catch up, innit. But I still haven’t skipped a day – YET !

Lay the A5 Clarity Canvas board on the craft mat, squeeze a small amount of Honey dew and Tango onto the craft mat, gently roll…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in on the first day of the week. Didn’t do much work today – it all looked rather bleak. Four days of doing demos and service with a smile If you’d said I had to do Day 5, I would have run a mile! Perhaps we set our hopes too high, expected way too much; But all the time you wonder: have you lost your touch? Are they bored with what you do and what…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Wednesday’s blog is something new. For who? For you? For me? Well, this week we launched the Paperartsy Chalk Paints at Clarity. They have been around a while, and I have loved them for a while. So today I thought I’d have a play with one of my all time favourite stencils, The Town Stencil, because they are shouting to be aged. Crackled, in fact. I want to get that really old English Wattle and Daub…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Where did the day go? One minute I was engrossed in prep for the TV on Sunday, the next it was pitch black outside. So before I call it a day, here’s a little card I made to showcase some new and rather special little stamps which are coming up on the Sunday Show: Our new Wee Folk Fairies, Elves & Whimsy. When the first Wee Folk landed, WEE FOLK 1 WEE FOLK 2…

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What a blimming run around! That’ll teach me for having a weekend sale! Didn’t see that coming, I can tell you! Plenty of jumping around today at Clarity Towers! So here’s a late after supper blog… Actually, I really like being able to unwind alone, with a little blog task. Monday’s blog is flowers and trees, right? Here goes then!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What’s today? Ah yes, Wednesday… Wednesday’s Blog is something new, so here are some delightful new Style Stencils we launched recently. They are very retro, very chic, What’s really cool, too, is that you get both the inny and the outy, the positive and the negative. There is also an excellent set of Stamping accessories, which work brilliantly to jazz up the stencil girls. But let’s get to grips with a new technique too……
Hi there. You Tube Tuesday! Here’s another cool clip from another one of our DVDs. The Double DVD No. 5. Over 6 hours! Now to many of you, this technique may well be Oh so yesterday! But I am very aware that there are always newcomers to the Clarity Crafting field, and so for those good people, we are revisiting a few old favourites. I never watch my old DVDs ; why would I? So it’s quite interesting to…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. What a luxury it is to be able to write this blog on a proper Mac! Having cobbled together blogs every day for weeks from 7,000 miles away on an Ipad, and 7 or 8 hours behind you, it is great to be back in real time, in sync so to speak! So back to the grindstone, eh. Monday’s blog is Flowers and Trees, so here’s a very simple card, made with our ultra…
