Hi Crafty Friend, welcome to our 13th February weekly roundup!
We're well and truly feeling the love this Valentine's week with the response from our latest Box Kit launch, so we wanted to give something back to say thank you for all your loyalty and support with not one, but TWO offers! Alongside our regular (love-themed) Offer of the Week, we are also offering FREE UK P&P from now until 11:59pm Sunday night! What better excuse is there for you to buy yourself your own Valentine's Day gift?!
As it's Valentine's Day on Saturday, I wanted to pick something perfect for the occasion for our Offer of the Week: our nesting Basic Heart die set, ideal for lots of love-themed creations, including wedding stationery, anniversaries, and, of course, Valentine's Day. I have also selected two stunning card tutorials, made using the recent Pretty Peonies collection, for our Blog Post of the Week and YouTube of the Week. I'll not delay things any further for you, so, without further ado...
Happy crafting!
Chloe x

Blog Post of the Week...
Azalea Vellum Peonies Card Tutorial
There's so much to love about our Blog Post of the Week, crafted by the creative force that is our lovely Christine. The combination of pastel pink colours, pretty dimensional blooms, and a delicate heat-embossed greeting creates this beautiful layout. Christine has made this layout using items from the new Pretty Peonies collection, which can be easily adapted for various occasions. If you would like to try recreating this look, you can follow Christine's full step-by-step instructions, complete with a materials list, on our inspirational blog!

YouTube of the Week...
Pink Fluttering Butterflies Card Tutorial
Our YouTube of the Week is a great example of how you can make your greeting the focal point of your card design. Using the recent Pretty Peonies launch, Chloe shows you, in the form of this educational video tutorial, how to create pretty fluttering butterflies to frame your central sentiment. Although the example here uses a birthday greeting, you could easily switch it out for other themes to match many other occasions, from congratulations and 'thank you' to anniversaries and 'thinking of you'.
As with all of our YouTube of the Week card tutorials, you can craft along at your own pace... pause, rewind, and take your time as you go. Chloe shares plenty of helpful hints and tips throughout the project, making it ideal for both beginners finding their feet and more experienced crafters looking to pick up new ideas. It’s the next best thing to having Chloe right there beside you, guiding you through a one-to-one workshop from the comfort of your own craft space.
