Top Tip : Sort the products available by newest, and you’ll see some not yet released products that launch in November, and yes, you can add them to your kit! It includes the most amazing sentiment punch! I’m going to show that to you next week.
So now lets look at a fun Z-Fold Sparkly Wreath Christmas card. I’m on a mission to make everyone love tiny stamps! Especially the A Little Cheer stamp set, because its got matching punches. I started out with a landscape card and folded the front back on itself to make the Z fold.
The wreath is formed by drawing round a circle punch and just stamping. I find its better to go in the same direction and stamp repeatedly before re-inking, that way you get a really tonal effect. The amazing Gold Shaker stars just add the right amount of bling. Remember to use your blends to make your embellishments and bling the right colour. You can see me making the full card on the video replay below.
Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.

I’m still on a mission to get caught up. Its always the busy times of year when you get sick, and this year was no exception. I’m probably operating at about 90% of normal currently, which is pretty rubbish since its been nearly 4 weeks since I got sick! Argh!
So over the coming days, you’ll see more blog posts and emails than normal as I share all of the most recent Craft and Chats. I am determined to start November caught up……. Hmmmm……. I’m not sure I believe myself, but a goal is good!
In awesome news, I am sooooooooo thrilled so many of you have decided that right now is the perfect time to join my team. I absolutely understand that the deal is helping make that decision so much easier. But I know they will stay because of the amazing community and so many other benefits. There is just a week left, don’t miss out!
A busy working weekend for me, but a few long walks too, with some yummy food and maybe a glass of wine in front of the fire. I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you are up to. I’ll be back soon with some more creative inspiration.
