Hi Crafty Friend, welcome to our 15th May weekly roundup!
We have mainly spent this past week in a state of confusion over the good old British weather. We've been regularly seeing all four seasons in one day, and I think Mother Nature needs to understand that it's now the middle of May! But it doesn't matter what's happening outside as we're bringing the sunshine inside with a fresh selection of offers and inspiration... and maybe even a little sneak peek at something coming up very soon! But you'll have to keep reading right to the bottom for that!
For our Offer of the Week, we're doing things a bit differently and letting you choose! That's right, we've applied a huge discount on an entire product range, so you can pick whichever product you want to save money on! Then we also have our regular double dose of weekly inspiration in our Blog of the Week and YouTube of the Week tutorials. Both involve pretty blooms that are bound to brighten up someone's day! So, without further ado, let's get started...
From soft, layered flowers to delicate backgrounds and elegant card inserts, our A4 vellum packs offer great versatility. And it's not just cardmaking where these vellums shine. Use them for windows in paper lanterns (put LED candles inside and delight in the soft glow!), print a favourite poem or verse onto them and have them as framed artwork, use them as fairy, bee, or butterfly wings, or emboss them for a faux parchment-craft look!
And for one week only, you can save 50% on the regular selling price of all our A4-sized vellum paper packs as part of our Offer of the Week, so there’s never been a better time to stock up on this core essential!
Please note: Offer valid until Thursday, 21st May 2026 at 11:59pm. This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other promo codes or Sparkle Points codes. No promo code is required for the discount to take effect. This offer cannot be applied retrospectively.
For our next instalment of our Blog Post of the Week series, we chose this beautiful floral design using the Pretty Peonies collection. The sketch-like look of the stamp, paired with a watercolour-style colouring, makes this such a glorious design. If you would like to make your own version, created by the amazing Glynis, you can follow the full step-by-step instructions on our inspirational blog!
We're continuing our Craft Your Stash series this week with this pretty, all-white card design using the Delicate Swirl Background stamp. The aim of our Craft Your Stash series is to revisit older collections and give them a new lease of life, and we thought that you could have so much fun digging out this stamp and having a play with it! Pairing the background with flowers and foliage, Chloe shows us how to create a truly wonderful design whilst keeping to a single colourway! Want to recreate this design? Pop over to our YouTube channel now and craft along with her!
Ooooh, what do we have here? It looks like flowers in different sizes with beautiful embossed detailing. And is that evidence of metal dies that have perfectly cut the petals out? Can you guess what we're bringing back? Just imagine these with inked and glittered detailing, shaped for curved petals, and then layered for truly dimensional blooms. Simply divine! Keep checking back for further updates!
