Welcome to our 29th August Weekly Roundup

Hi Crafty Friend, welcome to our 29th August weekly roundup!

I’ve got something VERY exciting to share with you very soon... but I’m afraid my lips are sealed for now! All I'm going to say is keep your eyes peeled, as all will be revealed soon! In the meantime, it’s been a whirlwind here at HQ, with lots of filming fresh content for our YouTube channel, and of course, packing up mountains of orders. It’s clear that so many of you are already cracking on with your Christmas crafting, judging by the sparkle-filled supplies heading out the door!


As for this week’s roundup, we’ve got a real festive treat for you – there’s a massive half-price offer on one of our popular festive paper pads, plus not one but two Christmas card tutorials to inspire your next projects. You can follow along with a step-by-step blog tutorial, or sit back and enjoy a visual video tutorial packed with seasonal sparkle. With all of this to unpack, I'd better let you get on with it!

Until next time...

Happy crafting!
