Hi there. It’s Sunday, the sun’s shining, I’ve just spent the morning writing a German blog, and if you don’t mind, I shall just translate the project for you, because it turned out quite nicely, even if I say so myself! Used another one of these Clarity Friends. I think the blog is all about giving you ideas and showing you various possibilities… So many people have invested in these Borders at the special price, so the least I can…
Hi there! Tuesday evening and all is well. Been a very busy but productive day. Just a messy stencil blog, using the Sunflower stencil I designed for the Crowborough Retreats this year. So how do we arrive at this place? Start by picking an inky Gelli plate piece from your inky Gelli Plate stash! I used A5 Claritycard – the coated card. Same size. Good plan…. Time to put it through the mangle, or E-bosser, or Gran Calibur…. See? You…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Just got back from our Clarity Open Days in Yorkshire. Very happy with the way it went overall. Could have been busier, but hey! The visitors who came had a good time. It being so late, and my neck being what it is, I decided to dig out a blog project from last year which I particularly enjoyed making. It was funny. As soon as I saw the artwork in the file this evening, …

Howdi! Greetings from The Lone Cypress in California! (I wish!) We used to live really close to this beauty spot, in Carmel. I loved it there. But there we are, life happens, and we had to come back to Europe. I LOVED living in Northern California! Who wouldn’t?! Blue skies, the Pacific Ocean, pelicans, sea lions. Flipflops and cut-off jeans were all I wore; proper hippy chick! So here is a little trip down Memory Lane, using one of a…
Hi Guys! Thanks so much for stopping by! How are y’all? Yes, as you may well be aware, we are on our way to sunny LA for the World premier of Claritystamps in the States. Whoever would have thought that this little English company that is Claritystamp would be headlining a TV launch in the States? When? Where? I will tell you everything I know on Friday, when we’re there. In the meantime, let’s get grounded and do a project….
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Advent Day number 17 and Blue Blog Thursday all in one… Well, yesterday’s blog with the car and snow could have worked well for today, so you can always pop back to the snowdrift if you missed it. I think I would like to show you a Gelli Plate step by step I prepped for the TV last time, but then decided it would take too long to attempt on Live Telly! I used…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday already ! Oh boy! Christmas Eve is looming fast here, and I haven’t written a card yet!!! I am rubbish, I really am. What an ambassador for a stamp company! But this evening I shall get my act together…. Here’s a little Christmas offering, in anticipation of this Big Freeze which is supposed to be descending on us in January. Hands up who believes it…. Used a Deckle-edged die, which is very unusual…
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 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,…
