Seasonal Savings

weekly-deals-17-nov

Check out this group of Weekly Deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada – specially priced, while supplies last. There’s definitely a seasonal feel to this batch! The Jolly Christmas stamp set and the Season to Season Wreath kit will not be available after the Holiday Catalogue period, so it might be a good chance to snap them up at a reduced cost! The Snow Friends framelits will still be available (but why not pick them up at a good price?!). The cardstock will still be available, but not in the special pack that coordinates with the Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper. If you need another look at the products that won’t be returning after the Holiday Catalogue expires, see the list here.

You can place your order online by clicking on the image or on this link, or if you need assistance or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. In the meantime, don’t forget that there’s still opportunity to make cards – the Stamp a Stack on Saturday, November 28th at 10am or 1pm, or the December Monthly Card Class. See the YamStamps Events Page for upcoming classes!

Happy Shopping!

Hello and Goodbye

ecard_HM-Retiring_dbws_11.23.15_US_CA

For the first time, Stampin’ Up! is advising us what product in the seasonal catalogue will not be returning in a future catalogue – in other words, what will be retiring! In the past, it was a guessing game, figuring out what “might” come back in a future annual catalogue – well now, it’s not (although I’m doing the guessing game of “WHAT? Why wouldn’t they bring THAT back again?!” LOL). So we’re saying goodbye to some items: here’s the list, you can download it in pdf or sortable spreadsheet….and get shopping…

What were you most sad to see on the list? My big sad: Sleighride Edgelits.  I thought for sure they’d make a reappearance in the future!

One thing that is taking the edge off the sadness….saying hello to friends old and new! I spent the Friday evening and Saturday at a new Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event called On Stage and Centre Stage. These replace the convention, are semi-annual, and are going to be held all over – this one was in Brussels, Belgium – but there were multiple smaller events coordinated with the Brussels event all over North America & the Pacific! We saw some footage from Brussels, plus had live demonstrations and sessions. There is nothing like getting together with a bunch of Stampin’ Up! demos to be inspired and entertained. I can’t share any photos of the product or catalogues we saw there at this time (top secret!) but here’s a non-incriminating photo….(well, that’s a relative term I suppose)

These are some of the “Eh” Team – my family of demonstrators, (Karen, Gail and Leanne; Mary was still en route) and myself with Dale Hampshire, the Stampin’ Up! Canada Manager. We learned a lot and laughed a lot this weekend, and it’s always great to meet up with friends.

Centre Stage is a leadership event, with a catered dinner and presentation on the Friday evening – I was too busy eating and talking to take a lot of photos at the time (I know you’re surprised….) but here’s a photo of the lovely flowers from our table. They must have made sure everyone knew the colour palette because my friends in other cities had similar (but not identical) arrangements!

Anyway, I’m off to finish preparations for Stampers Club today! I will have orders going in, so if you’re interested in grabbing any of the retiring Holiday Catalogue product, or any items for your holiday crafting, you can contact me for assistance or have me include your order if you’re local to Burlington, or shop online at the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. Happy Shopping!

It’s Your Birthday….

birthday-cake

Or even if it’s not…here’s a fun birthday card for some who is celebrating! This card features the Stampin’ Up! set Build a Birthday. This set is photopolymer, meaning that the material with which you stamp will be clear (or in my case, a little stained perhaps, but still see through-ish). I find this makes it a bit easier to line up the elements for the cake – each layer is a different stamp. In this case, all the layers were the same colour, but you could make it a multi-coloured cake if you wish! Chocolate Chip (I thought that was appropriate) and Tempting Turquoise are the colours, and yes, I re-inked my Tempting Turquoise ink pad after making this card….so the cards from the class were a bit more vivid. I have found the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits Dies to be so useful – I think I’ve used this label die on a card at each of my last few classes – in this case, it’s for the birthday wishes sentiment (love that script).

If you’ve signed up for my newsletter, you’ll notice that you are asked for your birth month. Starting in the new year, newsletter recipients will receive an extra mailing during their birthday month. Don’t worry if you didn’t enter your month at the time you signed up, I’ll have you covered as well…. If you haven’t yet signed up (you’ll still be in time for the remaining mailings for the 12 Weeks of Christmas as well) – use the form in the corner of the blog or click here.
