Stuart’s Friday SHAC-tacular!
Good afternoon, crafty friends. Stuart here with a SHAC-tacular little Friday blog post for you. We hope you’re all doing well and able to stay Safe, Happy and Creative!
So, first things first, eh?! Let’s begin with SHAC Shack sharing. Barb introduced a new project this week which means you’ve all been colouring in the majestic Pied Kingfisher design from our Clarity Postcards. Below you can see some of your initial attempts, plus there are a few teacups dotted about in the gallery for good measure – there’s always a bit of crossover when a new project starts, and it’s nice to see those completed teacups, too! And there are some exquisite examples below which I’m delighted to show off on the blog. It’s clear you’ve all been paying really good attention to Barb’s instructions.
If you’re interested and haven’t got yourself a set, you can purchase our Feathered Friends Postcards right here. And if you’re new to the SHAC Shack, you’ll also be able to dig into the archives and find the other birdy-doodles Barb has done so far!
What a talented bunch you all are, hey?
And, for those of you who just can’t get enough of crafting (let’s face it, that’s all of us), there is also our Groovi SHAC projects to help keep you creative over the weekend. It’s our 39th download we’ve produced, which is testimony to how much you all enjoy it. Today’s project is a really amazing design. Reasonably complex this week, with a lot of components to it. But, as usual, Hazel’s instructions are simple and clear. There are some really great skills involved in the project, which are great to learn or practice. And it really promises to be a very satisfying project to complete! Click the banner below to download!
Oh yes, and just for good measure, a little taster of what our Groovi SHAC projects look like. A few Groovi crafters completed last week’s project and, as you can see, these projects look amazing! Thanks to all who created the below; a raving endorsement for the Groovi SHAC projects!

Well, I’ve done a lot of chit-chat so far. I do find it easy to get carried away when I’m blogging, but I’ll restrain myself for now. Quit while you’re ahead, right? So before I become boring and lose your attention, one more thing if I may. Which is, please do tell us what you think of ‘A Moment of Clarity’. I deliberately scheduled this post for 2pm to give you one final reminder of today’s premiere. And we’d absolutely love your feedback on it. Please do leave a comment below, or email me direct gallery@claritystamp.com and tell me what you thought of ‘A Moment of Clarity’. One last time, the first-ever A Moment of Clarity will go live at 3pm today! We’re so excited!
Bye for now.
Stuart!
The show was brilliant! A moment of real Clarity…we could all see! Loved it. Xx

Enjoyed the relaxed hour and a bit! No hassle getting to the venue, had a front row seat and felt they were personal demos for me. Always good vibes when Barb is busy, lots of lovely comments from everyone. Looking forward to the future ones. Thankyou to everyone who was involved in the production.π€

Hi Stuart
A Moment of Clarity was fab! It is now half past 6 and I am still trying out the ideas Barb demonstrated this afternoon. Lots of great tips, superb artwork and a cup of tea to relax with – what more do you want? Can’t wait for the next time.
Thanks
Zara

Really enjoyed it today – I had booked a dayβs holiday so was able to join in live as well as the SHAC SHAC!!
Thank you for choosing my Groovi SHAC card

Enjoyed all of Barbara’s demonstrations.
Caught up with some parchment embossing in between watching and listening
Great selection of artwork, Stuart.
The Moment of Clarity show was a tonic! I thought it was a really clever touch to have the “set” look just like a regular Clarity exhibition stand, with the grid-wall decked with product – it really made me feel I’d walked into Hulme Hall at Port Sunlight for the Happy Stampers exhibition!
It felt quite different to the Shac-Shac sessions, so an interesting addition to the Clarity output.
Big thanks to Barbara and the whole Clarity team!
Thoroughly enjoyed the Moment of Clarity session this afternoon. Barbara’s excitement shone through and she was humorous, informative and inspiring, delivering this session to us…loved it! Now something else to look forward to monthly. Thanks to you all for making this possible.π

The Moment of Clarity Show was a very enjoyable hour & a bit this afternoon – full of Barbara’s enthusiasm showing us how to get the most out of the new stamp & masks along with tales of previous adventures !! Looking forward to the next one in February – already in the diary.
Off to look around the stand which looked great just like being at a real show – made it different to the SHAC Shack.

Really enjoyed The Moment of Clarity. Although I had bought the package I decided to sit back and watch Barbara do her thing. I can play with my goodies at my leisure with a bit more knowledge. Thank you Barbara and thank you Dee for the samples. Good to see Paul if only briefly.

Really loved going to the ‘exhibition’ via the blog. Much easier to follow when the items are in your hands. Thank you for getting them sent out so quickly.
Really enjoyed the moment of clarity show. Especially nice for people who haven’t managed to get to the show’s. I got to the one in port sunlight the year groovi started
But never managed any more. Barbara is so brilliant at demonstrating. Will be nice to have more in the months to come. Thank everyone for all the great things to follow. X

The moment of clarity was the Bomb. Is there a way we can ask any questions by commenting but could be answered later perhaps. Also I did message Paul to asknifcwe could av stampboard in A5 and A4 sizes would be great for mixed media Paul said ‘watch this space’ so I’m watchin. π₯°βxxxx

I really enjoyed Barbβs demos and all for free, without trying to squeeze past all the tall people who block my view – plus no bad back from standing for hours! I made one card and will finish the other tomorrow so the fun just keeps on coming! Thanks and I look forward to the next one.

A moment of Clarity was a perfect hour of crafting.
Excellent tutorial with the knowledge you could buy the products if you wanted but no pressure if you didnβt.
I came away with ideas for anniversary cards valentines cards and some small note let cards to give to friends who are isolating.
A moment of Clarity brought me Joy and gratitude.
Thank you Barbara and everyone at Clarity towers.
