Hi Crafty Friend, welcome to our 11th September weekly roundup!
As today marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I would like to begin by taking a moment to remember all those who lost their lives on that terrible day, and to think of the many more whose lives were changed forever as a result. I know we have many customers and friends in the United States, and I’m sure you will join me in keeping everyone affected by the events of 11th September 2001 in our thoughts today.
Moving on to our usual weekly roundup, I have lots of creative inspiration lined up for you. This week, we’re getting into the festive spirit with two beautiful Christmas projects: an elegant Christmas Deer card in our Blog of the Week, plus a gorgeous navy and silver sparkling snowflake card for our YouTube of the Week.

Easy Silver and Navy Sparkling Snowflakes Cardmaking Project
Let the products do all the hard work with this gorgeous silver and navy festive project! In our latest YouTube of the Week project, Chloe shows us how easy it is to create sensational cards by designing collection elements that work together seamlessly. In this example, we combine snowflake dies, embossing folders, and sentiment stamps from the Starlit Christmas collection with majestic results. And the best bit? It's incredibly quick and easy to construct!
Throughout the tutorial, Chloe guides us through every stage of creating this sparkly 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 needed, so you can create at your own pace.
