Here are two variations on a card design! Inspired by a card by Jenny Peterson, this is a fun and easy design that you can change up to suit the colours and occasion! The first card is a Father’s Day card, using the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack* and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder* (which doesn’t really show up in the photo, sorry – it’s on the Basic Black Cardstock). The second card uses the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack* and the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder. Both cards use the Washi Label Punch* (already sold out!) and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set which is available in wood mount or clear mount. All the products with the * are retiring – and available until May 31 or while supplies last. As you can see, the punch is already gone! You could replace it in this sample with banners from the Bitty Banners* framelits set or simply cut the papers to the desired size.
Grab your retiring products while you can! You can shop online 24/7 in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store, or contact me for assistance placing your order. Don’t forget to RSVP for the New Catalogue Open House & Retired Product Sale! Saturday June 4 from 9am til noon. See you soon!

If you send a card, why not make it a thank you card. It’s such a welcome treat to get a formal thank you, and any mail other than bills is always a bonus! This card was featured in the recent masculine cards class. We used the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack and the set BYOP for the sentiment. The chevron punch adds detail along the bottom edge of the card and a strip of the DSP on the inside edge of the card lets the design peek through. Arrows/chevrons feature everywhere on this one! Just a note: The punch and Paper are both retiring at the end of May, so if you’d like to get them, the sooner the better for placing your order! The links take you directly to that item in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. The stamp set is NOT retiring, but it’s currently available in a discounted bundle with the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Dies – while the individual items will be available, the bundle will NOT – so grab these great items at a good discount while you can!
A class is a great way to try out some different tools and get card ideas – plus build up your stash of cards to send! I’ve added a fun class to the June calendar – Christmas!! June 24th at 7pm come and make some Christmas cards! After all, it will be 6 months until Christmas, and no time like the present to build up your stash?! Space is limited. Cost is $20 and will include all supplies required for your four cards. Please contact me to register – payment due at time of registration. Alternatively you can click on the PayPal link below to pay by credit card or with your PayPal account.

I recently celebrated fourteen years with Stampin’ Up! Hard to believe that time has flown so quickly and that my business has grown as much as it has. I bought the starter kit simply to get easy access to my own paper crafting supplies (at the time I lived a ferry ride and a good car drive away from any sort of craft store whatsoever!). These days I enjoy having classes, clubs and working online as well. Of late though, my online work has been suffering a bit because my computer has been ailing….and as we speak it is in the shop getting an overhaul. Fingers crossed it happens quickly. Thankfully, I do have other options to get online access, though it’s making me think a bit harder, adapting to different devices….though apparently that’s good for fighting off aging. Must look on the bright side.
In any case, this is the lovely card that was sent to me by the Stampin’ Up! Canada home office. Dale and Carrie do their best for the Canadian demonstrators, and I know they have a group of crafty helpers who create anniversary cards for Dale to sign and send out!
In the meantime, a reminder that my New Catalogue Open House will be held Saturday, June 4 from 9am til noon in Burlington. Please RSVP to have a copy of the catalogue set aside for you, and so that I can give you directions. You’ll be able to pick up the catalogue and have a shop at the Retired Product sale! I look forward to seeing you.

Words of Truth…this set is retiring at the end of the month! It’s available in wood mount or clear mount, and Stampin’ Up! is producing stamps until May 22nd, after which stamps are available while supplies last. These stamps are fun for notecards, like the ones above, or scrapbook pages – especially for teens (and we know how difficult it can be to make something that will meet the approval of the teen set!!). Place your order online or contact me if you need assistance placing your order.
One last note – if you’re able to make it to Burlington on Saturday June 4, between 9am and noon, please RSVP for directions to my New Catalogue Open House & Retired Product Sale! When you RSVP, I’ll be sure to hold a copy of the new catalogue for you that day. If you can’t make it, please complete this form so I can get a copy to you.
