Hi Crafty Friend, welcome to our 26th July weekly roundup!
We're coming to you slightly later than usual this week as we're still recovering from the mammoth launch of our Starlit Christmas collection on Friday. I only have one word to say about it... "wow"! I can't express just how happy I am at the response from you all. I had so much fun at the launch show, and I loved how interactive it was. So thank you if you tuned in and helped make the launch an almighty success. If you weren't able to catch it, don't worry, as I have included info below on how you can watch it.
Now that our new collection will be on its way to you, I thought you would appreciate a couple of ideas on how to use the different elements. And that is why I have included two card tutorials for you this week: our Blog Post of the Week and YouTube of the Week. Plus, our weekly roundups wouldn't be complete without an Offer of the Week, so I have created a brilliant festive-themed saving for you. So, without further ado, let's get going!
We realise that it's not always possible to tune in to our live launch shows, and this is why we always make them available to view permanently on our YouTube channel. So whether you missed the show or watched it and want to revisit it to go through all the different elements again or get some inspiration from the samples shown, we've made it easy for you. Just head to YouTube and watch at your leisure at a time that suits you best. Enjoy!

We're kick-starting our festive inspiration for the year with this beautiful example by one of our newest members of our Design Team. The incredibly talented Carol has put together our Blog Post of the Week using the brand-new Starlit Christmas collection, combining a selection of different elements to create this stylish easel card in traditional colours. If you would like to make your own version to send to someone special, you can follow Carol's in-depth tutorial on our inspirational blog!
Chloe brings us the latest instalment of our YouTube of the Week series, with this wonderfully sparkly Christmas tree creation in deep blues to mimic the moonlit sky and luxurious golds. Using elements from the brand-new Starlit Christmas collection, Chloe has created a stylish, elegant, and timeless Christmas card that would look just as good as a framed Yuletide artwork for the home.
Throughout the tutorial, Chloe guides us through all the stages needed to construct this beautiful layout. As with all our video tutorials, you will be guided step by step throughout the process. You can craft along with the video, pausing as and when you need to, so you can craft at your own pace.
