Speedy crafting is always good, and today’s Craft and Chat replay I make 4 cards at one go. I received the card below from one of my awesome team Ann, and its made by drawing a cross on a sheet of card and stamping. Of course I had to try and replicate it, and its made some wonderful Christmas cards.

These are the additional cards I made.

Here is Ann’s card, that inspired my crafting, using lovely floral stamps.

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.
Its been a busy week for releases from Stampin’ Up! 2 amazing new kits and lots of online exclusives. These products aren’t found in catalogues, just online, click on the link below to see them.
I’ve been super busy making class and event plans for 2025 both for online and in person, and whilst I appreciate that we never like to see a price increase, I’m sure you will love the changes, and I will continue to work very hard to ensure you get great value.
I’ve opened bookings through to the end of March for those of you who love to plan. Speaking of planning several online classes have dates but no details yet, I have to wait for catalogues to be released before I can design, but as soon as I have those details I will let you know.

I have a Stampin’ Up! leadership event this weekend, its running on USA timings so mid afternoon to late evening, everything will be a bit topsy turvy this weekend. I love the training events, and we have been super spoilt this year with a wonderful gift, I’ll tell you about it next week as I don’t want to spoil the surprise for anyone who hasn’t received theirs yet.
Finally, thank you so much for the messages you have been sending regarding my Top Performer ranking this year. I have ranked as a Top performer every year since we launched in the UK, and actually its my 17th Stampin’ Up birthday in a few days. 17 years is a long time, but I love what I do and its the people that make it awesome. Thank you for being part of my world.
Have a wonderful weekend, I’m planning lots of blog posts next week, I have so many samples to share with you, so I’ll be back very soon.
