Its a Groovi gingerbread house!

Its a Groovi gingerbread house!


Hi There.
Thanks for popping in.
We fully intended to swing by the TV Studios 
en route to Harrogate yesterday,
and pick up the House Tem-Plate Art Samples 
to display at the Harrogate Show today.
But traffic was dire, and so we had to give it up.

So I thought,
why don’t I just blog a little sample of how it works,
 and then show you a few of the beauties which were made by our very talented Design Team.

So here goes.

I used the  Groovi Tudor Cottage Tem-Plate to get the shape...
Our Jim designed this one. Really brilliant.
And so is the plate actually.


You need A4 parchment to do our tem-plates.
I went with an ivory colour here. 



So once you have the shape, then you can either go with the Tudor house, exactly as Jim designed it on the large Tem-Plate...




...or you can get out the additional Gingerbread House or Swiss Cottage Border Plates, and create your very own Grand Designs!
both plates click here


Look! And no planning permission required!!!


You can add your finishing touches;
whitework on the little hearts,

Spot the gingerbread man in the doorway!


A little drop shadow on the roof tiles.



Do all your decorating and embellishing.
Then cut out, fold and assemble. 
Or cut it out first - whichever feels right for you.


It really is a piece of cake.
You can make it as simple or intricate as your time and skills will permit!


Mine is as simple as it gets really.
But it will be perfect as a little table decoration on Christmas Eve.
I just need a couple more to make a wee gingerbread hamlet!

Oh! Hang on!! We have a LOAD of them!!
I bet our lovely Design Team friends won’t mind us borrowing a few for one night !!
Let’s check them out....

and think of us glamorous folks,
trundling back down the M11 in our white stretch limo.

Jaynes Flowers BRAND NEW STAMPS AND GROOVI

Jaynes Flowers BRAND NEW STAMPS AND GROOVI


Hi there.
Thanks for stopping by.
Well, this weekend is special methinks, 
in Clarity World.
We are launching a collection of art which has been created by a very good friend of ours:
Jayne Nestorenko.


A few months ago, Paul and I went to see her.
She has been unwell for a while now, 
and has had to put her crafting career on hold. 
She entrusted us with the most exquisite collection of floral illustrations; an honour indeed.
So for the past months, we have been working on them,
and are finally ready to launch 

THE AMAZING JAYNE NESTORENKO’S
Floral Frame Collection.

In Groovi Format on HOCHANDA this weekend.
Tune in at 8pm on Sunday for the first hour.

A set of 9 plates,
comprising fuchsias, roses, dahlias and agapanthus,
plus a fab Alphabet within a clever box frame.




Now Jayne, like myself, is a stamp designer.

These flower plates were intended to be stamps,
and therefore they are.

The artwork next to the stampsets is Jayne’s own colourwork.
This is how she pictured her stamps.

Dahlias Clarity Stampset designed by Jayne

Fuchsias Clarity Stampset designed by Jayne

Roses Clarity Stampset designed by Jayne

I hope with all my heart that we have done her illustrations and her lovely frame concept justice.
The large frame also comes as a stamp on a megamount;
the wonderful trellis pieces and weaves fit perfectly 
into the frame panels. 

So there you have it. 
A comprehensive floral collection, 
designed by a dear friend
and made by us. 

Where and when will the stamps be available?
They are being launched on our website on Tuesday, 
after the Groovi One Day Special has finished.

During the month of September, I shall be showcasing 
Artwork to inspire
from members of our Stamping Design team here on the Blog.

Whether you are into parchment or stamping,
we believe that these flowers will prove invaluable
 to your Groovi AND Claritystamp collections. 


Right.
Must get back to it.

Love & Hugs

Barb
