Sharing is Caring!

Hello Hello 🙂 Grace here.

I hope you’re all having a great weekend and enjoying the Clarity Birthday Festivities on Hochanda! What a fun weekend it’s been so far.

Did you know that you can watch back all episodes on Hochanda’s website? I’m based in New York City, so I use their website often to watch my Mum back 🙂 They have a ‘rewind’ feature, but I personally just go to their ‘tv schedule‘ and find what I’m looking for there. EASY!

Here’s the weekend tv schedule, if you need it!

Since it’s our 27th Birthday, I decided to pick TWENTY-SEVEN of my favourite online cards this week. Blimey. Not going to lie, it took me awhile, just like the artwork! So please leave a comment below with some words to describe this these works of art!

They’re so impressive, every single one. And I just wanted to share as many as I could! But trust me, it’ll be back to 5 or 6 next week *wipes forehead* hahah!

Check out these beautiful cards… Very inspiring!

Wow… x27. Don’t you just love all of these? I do! Obviously there are a lot of poppets included, because that’s what our facebook pages are covered in right now. A wonderful mixture of samples from our fab design team, and artwork from our fab friends and customers. I LOVE the poppets too, so it works for me! It’s quite overwhelming to see how much talent and skill comes out of this little (massive) family.

What a team we make 🙂

If you leave a comment below describing the cards above, I’ll enter you into a raffle to win a £27 gift card!

Enjoy your weekend!

Lotsa love, Grace xo

    Hi Grace, yes what a fun and inspirational birthday weekend from Clarity and Hochanda! I’m watching your Mum live on the early morning Hochanda show! There is so much to enjoy with the artwork you’ve chosen above and it sums up for me 27 years of Clarity – innovation, inspiration and invigoration! 27 years of breathtaking designs encouraging all of us to have fun enjoying our crafting! Thank you Clarity.

    Hi Grace, What a fantastic selection of cards, often using the same Clarity products but all so different, which is what I love about both the Groovi plates & the stamps. I am just catching up with the 8am show on rewind although I have it recorded as well for future inspiration. I am going to sit crafting or maybe do the ironing whilst watching the rest of the shows today & even then we will be only half way through the Birthday celebrations. What a great weekend packed with new ideas & inspiration – as one of the word stickers say – Clarity Rocks !!

    Good Morning, Grace. Sitting watching your mum on Hochanda as I write this. What a lot of lovely products for the birthday weekend! I’ve been on a shopping spree!! What an amazing selection of cards again. All so different. It never fails to amaze me how many different designs people can come up with using the same plates or stamps or stencils. So many are so good at thinking out of the box. It’s great. Glad you liked my geese. I love them and am so grateful for the inspiration provided by the Design Team. Thanking for posting it. Have a great weekend. Hx

    Hiya Grace
    Wow what a brilliant clarity weekend it is just had to buy the poppet printed parchment yesterday it is just gorgeous, can’t wait for it to be dispatched
    The new grid ones that Josie designed are a must as well they are in my basket just waiting for the new paper pads tomorrow then I can decide what will be my 2nd order and what will be my 3rd one as I just have to have the bauble plates from Thurs loved the live shac when your mum did all the wonderful baubles
    You have picked some amazing cards to show us glad it wasn’t me choosing you have included ones from a couple of my lovely friends too
    The DT have come up with some amazing samples to inspire all of us, looking forward to watching your mum work her magic with the new stamps tomorrow I could watch her all day, but then I wouldn’t get any parching done and I have only just started back doing parching after not doing any for 6 months it feels brill to be back in the parching groove
    Have a lovely weekend xx

    As usual, a stunning collection of artwork. Thanks for sharing them with us. They are all so different yet wonderful. Every one makes me look closer to find out how they did it.

    I love the shows on Hochanda. I too usually have to watch on rewind because of the 5 hour time difference and work. It’s also great to be able to rewind a bit if I’ve missed something or just must get a screen shot of some lovely lace work. The Skype broadcasts that your Mom and Paul produce are amazing. Their camera work is stellar. Hard to believe it’s just them in a room by themselves.

    Happy Birthday to the entire Clarity team.

    Hello Grace
    The cards are fantastic. All of them, those on here and the others all over Facebook. I see an ENGG member features yet again, lol.
    I know some people have been with Barbara from the beginning, 27 years ago and we have all progressed and improved, whenever we started our journey. But it is Groovi which takes my breath away. Most of us started when Groovi started and look how far we have come in a comparatively short time. I, for one, never expected to achieve what I achieve now and, in my case, it is all down to Barbara, Paul, Tina, Linda, Gail and Josie. I have been lucky to attend workshops run by all these lovely people who give their time and expertise. Thank you to all of you.
    Love
    Roz.xxx

    Happy Birthday to the Clarity Team! Thank you Grace for sharing the stunning projects. I am in awe of the amazing creativity and talents. I like you, check the Hochanda TV schedule – I watch after the live shows since I live it Canada the shows broadcast very early. It is always a pleasure/ so fun to watch Barbara and Paul with their demos. The poppets this weekend are again wonderful. The video on Hochanada with Barbara celebrating Clarity’s birthday – is so well done – congrats to the Clarity Team who did the video – fantastic. I have many Clarity products and they are my most loved and most used. The quality is superb. A huge thank you to the Clarity Team for everything you to and all you bring to the creative people in the world. Have fun celebrating!

    I can only agree with what Ros says so well, although I have not been lucky enough to attend workshops or retreats. Groovi has been a real companion to me and helped me through days when I missed my darling mum so much.
    Thank you for choosing my card to join all the beauties above and thank you to everyone who shares their stunning and varied work on the Clarity sites. They are my go to places for inspiration.
    Enjoy your weekend Grace and thanks again. Hugs. Annette X

    All the cards are simply stunning and what a fantastic supportive group of people frequent both Clarity and Groovi Worldwide. Needless to say it is probably because of the fantastic Clarity family at Claritystamp being so inclusive and supportive of absolutely everyone headed by your fabulous mother who’s Tips and Tricks have really taken, certainly me, but i know lots of people out, of their comfort zone and enabled us to do things we never dreamed possible. I for one am truly grateful. Take care and have a Great weekend xx

      Hello Grace
      Firstly, Happy 27th birthday Claritystamp!

      Since stumbling across Barbara and the Shackers in Shac Shac during lockdown my world has transformed. I can now draw and enjoy it, progressing from a doodled bird! I am addicted to stamping and have been creative when I previously wouldn’t attempt anything like it. Spreading my new found creativity, sharing stamps and skills, with friends and family, both young and old.

      Most of my inspiration comes from the people in this crafting community and, looking at the 27 cards you have picked out, it is easy to see there is oodles of choice from stamping, painting and parchment. In each choice there is an array of variables. An eclectic mix of inspiring artworks with encouraging dialogue with all creators!!

      Good luck to all in the draw.

      Best wishes for the birthday celebrations.

    Happy Birthday to Clarity. May you enjoy very many more years of success.
    From experience, I know how long it takes to create these beautiful works of art and they are all to be applauded. They are a tribute to everyone involved.
    The inspiration comes from Barbara and all her team. What a wonderful weekend it’s been – and we’re only half way through.
    Can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow.

    Hi Grace
    Happy Birthday to Clarity!
    All these cards are amazing, so much inspiration and time gone in to them. My FB used to have notifications for alot of things…now…only Groovi worldwide, so evey time I open the app I see a beautiful creation by someone or some great inspiration and advice.
    Glad you you liked my ribbon card and thank you for choosing. Looking forward to trying out my first lace plate in the hope of creating a beautiful special card for a special lady in the Groovi family.
    I’ve only been here since March/April and I absolutely love it!
    Lots of Love

    As you say Grace, WOW x 27 and then some! They are truly inspirational. I first started with stamps from Clarity and then began my Groovi journey when that was launched and have never tired of it. This is down to the quality of the product and the wonderful instruction given. These 27 cards show superbly what can be achieved. xx

    What a fantastic selection. Isn’t it amazing that, even using the same poppets, no two ever look even vaguely alike!! I love the stamped ones as I can’t ‘Groov’ any more, but I can still stamp!! I did love the green parchment bauble and might even get the bauble plate to use on normal paper -or to do an outline on parchment that I can stamp an image into. I still have a large stash of parchment from the days when I could do it and it was my main form of card-making -back in the 1990s!

    Happy 27th birthday. What a milestone. I’ve been part of the journey since being hooked into stamping back when your mum was at the crafting shows. Started watching the DVD’s to learn the craft. Had taught myself parchment craft by watching dear Tina on C&C but lost mojo. Could never quite get outlineds crisp. Groovi came along and bang straight back into it. Taken over from stamping. Due to husbands I’ll health it’s been my saving grace(pardon the pun). What a fantastic community has grown. Everyone helps and supports each other. Clarity rules. Everybody showcases their work. Everyone shown is fantastic and a credit to all. Ideas are shared. What can I say. Thank you one and all. Grace I don’t know how you manage to choose but thanks for doing it. Love to all.
