King & Queen of Hearts

Hi friends, Steven here.

How are you all doing?

Last week you may have wondered where I’d got to. I was busy enjoying a week off (thanks to Stuart for covering the blog) and what a wonderful week to have off. The weather was gorgeous! Walks, day trips and BBQs with the family.

Early last week we were enjoying far more reasonable weather to venture out ‘n’ about than it has been the last few days. I think Monday through till Thursday the weather was hovering around the low 20s down in the South East rather than the mid-thirties that we’ve been enduring. The low 20s is just about right for me as you can do most things such as gardening, walks, days out, or, if you’re a crafter, crafting without feeling uncomfortable and trying to catch the sweat before it falls onto your latest masterpiece. I’m sure you all know exactly what I’m talking about!

So, I’m back and raring to go with all things Clarity Matters!

I thought today we could take a look at yesterday’s TV shows. Paul and Barb were back on Hochanda for another stamping masterclass. Did you catch either of the shows?

Well, if you didn’t, you missed a gem!

Rather than the pre-records, we’re back to doing live TV shows on Hochanda, through a clever Skype live-stream format and, as ever, the demos were top-notch and full of insight and inspiration. New for the show was these wonderful new stamps, designed by Linda Williams:

Linda’s King & Queen of Hearts A5 Stamp Sets

These can be used for a variety of projects from wedding cards to anniversary or even just a friend.

There’s so much to see during the live shows, isn’t there? That’s a good thing of course but, sometimes you see a card you like and you think, ooh I know, that’s given me an idea. But once the shows finished you can’t remember exactly how it looked. So, if that’s something that might have happened to you, I’ve put together a selection of TV samples from the hard-working design team below, to get your creative juices flowing:

There are some absolute beauts in there!

If you missed any of the shows, catch up any time at your leisure on the Hochanda website right here.

Anyway, that’s it from me today. I hope you enjoy your day and a slightly cooler day.

Clarity Matters. It really does.

Bye for now. Steven x

    Glad you enjoyed your week off & managed to get out & about. We have had a few days away for the 1st time this year this week. Managed to do some walking & cycling even though it got hotter & hotter as the week went by but it was great to be able to get out & do something different.
    Lovely samples from the design team again, thanks for showcasing them as they only get a fleeting glance on the TV.
