Hello everyone! Jordan here, enjoying a relaxing Saturday and hoping you are, too.
Thanks to those of you who sent an email or left a comment about your Clarity packages and parcels. We had lots of comments and messages saying you had already recycled or reused your packages from the birthday week orders, and that really brings a smile to our face. We love to hear that our Clarity crafters are conscientious and thoughtful enough to not only recycle packaging correctly, but also that you use these materials to craft with.
We’d love to hear more on this; What do you recycle or re-use in your crafting? Cardboard packaging as card backing? Plastic packaging as paint pallets? Or even more creatively, perhaps in a mixed media or collage project? Drop a comment and let us know!
In the spirit of upcycling and thoughtful crafting, take a look at these ‘Trap the Scrap ‘ videos from our Fresh-Cut Die series. Trap the Scrap is Barb’s nifty way of putting it; using those scrap items in your crafting. Lots of mixed media crafting really lends itself to this ideal, using materials creatively to avoid waste, and to create unique and dramatic looking images and effects. Die Cutting projects are absolutely ideal for this, too, as often only a small amount of craft card or designer paper is required to create an image using a Die.

I hope these videos serve as some inspiration for you in your upcoming projects!
Lastly, for those who tuned in to yesterday’s Christmas One Day Special on Hochanda, click here for a set of embroidery instructions for the fantastic Embroidery Groovi plates from the show.
Clarity Matters. It really does.
Enjoy your Sunday. And of course, Happy Crafting!
