2 staircase cards decorated for Christmas

Livestream Lowdown: Holiday Headstart

Hi crafters,

If you missed last Wednesday’s Anna Griffin livestream, here’s your festive wrap-up of all the merry moments, dazzling demos and can't-miss deals from our Holiday Headstart show! We're just getting started with Christmas and holiday crafting, and we can't wait to show you more. If you missed Holiday Headstart, you can catch up here.

Two ornate Christmas cards featuring decorated staircases with garlands, wreaths, trees, a dog, a cat, and festive greetings on a patterned background.

It was so much fun to have Martha Frischknecht joined us live (with her signature sparkle!) to be our special guest and craft alongside Anna. Did you know that her chickens are named after her husband's ex girlfriends? So funny!

In case you missed it, our winners are listed below. If you haven't already, please email us with your address to RSVP@annagriffin.com to claim your prize.

This was another fantastic show. Loved all the Christmas items that were available to purchase. I cannot wait to get my items home so I can start crafting with them for my Christmas cards this year. Everyone have a great day and may God bless you all.

Looking forward to receiving my Christmas Card Kit!! I have ordered every year since you started selling. Never disappointed!! Will be so much fun creating cards with the Staircase Die. I can just picture my grandchildren’s faces peeking over the banister!! Thanks again Anna and your creative team.

Thanks for having the replay available. Loved the HSN shows. Such wonderful examples.

Purchased 4 of your items yesterday on HSN. If you haven’t already, could you provide a folder of different birds, especially the red bird but also others? Thought about adding birds to your new Staircase dies and the stickers. You have lots of folders of just flowers but would like to see birds. Thanks.

Sandee Bishop

Will you get more staircase dies and embellishments soon?
