Deb's Shows: Ideas and Inspiration

 Deb Wheeler is showcasing some lovely Clarity stamps and dies today over on Clarity Social TV, so I thought I would bring together some of my samples using these as inspiration.  As always, the links to the original blog posts and step by steps are below each photo.

When is a frame not a frame? (see HERE).

Jazz the Fox

 With the new set of Timestamp Creations stamps being launched, I thought it was time to use one of the previous releases.  I went with the Jazz the Fox set, combined with a background from last year's Clarity inky retreat.

WOYWW 868/88: Feeling Much Better

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch. 

Still sending love and best wishes to Neet in hospital.

My desk actually shows a work in prog

ress for a change.  I rejoined the Clarity New Design Groovi club after a few years away and am in the middle of working on the January offering.

I have put a pause on the knitting for the moment as Mum pointed out that it may have had a bearing on the pain - GP says it is likely muscular-skeletal as most other things were ruled out at A&E last week.  Thank you so much for all your well wishes.  I am feeling a lot better and the Ibuprofen gel prescribed by the GP is helping as well.

I had to resort to a Groovi plate for this one as I do not have a Clarity hourglass stamp.

As you can see, I have managed to keep up with my #dailyatc2026 challenge.

I am hoping to catch up with Twiglet on Friday as I am attending a Tilly Tea Dance workshop.  I will be at Mum's tomorrow therefore and hope to catch up with desk visits there.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Using an Offcut on a Card

It is surprising how effective a small offcut of a larger background can be when used as a panel on a small card.  Here I used another one from the Clarity Summer Retreats in 2025.

Mid Month Challenge: Out with the Old, in with the New

 The mid month challenge for January over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes & ATCs is Out with the Old, in with the New.  I chose to use the earliest Clarity New Design Club stamp that I have (#3) and one of the new Tree Aperture stamp sets - All we Have is Now.

Pretty Art Deco Flowers All in a Row

I combined some of the new Art Deco stamps with a background from a Clarity online workshop to create this pretty, floral card.

#dailyatc2026: The Challenge Begins

 Having completed a drawing every day of 2025, I decided to go with creating a #dailyatc2026 for my challenge this year.  I am using the prompts for 2026 over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art, but using card, stamps, masks, stencils and stickers from Clarity Crafts to fulfil them.

Happy New Year.

History.

Landscape.

Opposites.

Favourite animals.

It hasn't been too difficult to find products to match the prompts so far, although I did have to go with a Groovi plate for day 16.  I prepared a month of ATC backgrounds in advance using Turquoise, Juniper and Cool Peri Alcohol inks and stamped onto the backs using the Clarity ATC stamp in Jet Black Archival ink. 

I shall do the same for February, but change the colour palette.  Ideas anyone?
