Marquee Messages Birthday

www.yamstamps.com

I love the fun retro feel of Stampin’ Up!’s Marquee Messages set. Paired here with one of the 2016-2018 In Colours, Dapper Denim, it makes for a great card – I like this especially for a teenager because it’s not too cutesy and not too serious. There’s a bit of colouring (love the brush tip end of the Stampin’ Write markers for that) and a bit of *gasp* fussy cutting – but it’s straight lines so it’s not too complicated, really! A bit of bling with the Gold Glitz Dazzling Details and it’s done. Just be sure to allow for drying time for the Dazzling Details, especially if you get a bit heavy handed at times…like me…LOL.

OK I’m totally getting back on track with my blogging….this month so far I’ve taken some time to be with friends and family, and I spent the past two weeks with the TV on a LOT, watching the Olympics, so now it’s back to the “real world”, and getting my son ready to go back to the “real world” as well (aka BACK TO SCHOOL!). I’m going to have a give away in the next while as well, so I’m getting myself all organized for that as well! In the meantime, later today is the August Christmas Card Class! I should dig out my Christmas music and play it while we create our cards with the “This Christmas” Designer Series Paper, don’t you think?! Ho ho ho four months until Christmas Eve!!

Thoughtful Branches Card

LY-1419

This card uses the Thoughtful Branches bundle – which has the Thoughtful Branches photopolymer stamp set and the Beautiful Branches thinlits dies. YamStamps Newsletter Subscribers will have seen some different samples with this bundle in the August newsletter. (If you’re not already subscribed, if you subscribe now, you’ll get a copy of the latest newsletter plus a free video tutorial!). I love the coordination of the stamp set and dies, because I often don’t have the time or patience to fussy cut detailed images. For this card, I did cut the hills by hand (*gasp*). The sentiment is on a framelit from the Tags & Labels framelits die set. I usually find it easiest (and safest?) to put the sentiment on a tag or label and add it to the card front to be sure that it is exactly where I want it (and straight as well!). You also have the flexibility to leave the tag off until you know what sentiment you need for that particular card – making your card stash (and dollar) stretch even further.

Don’t forget that if you purchase the bundle through me, you’ll get a free set of instructions to create 5 different projects! If you want to make it even easier on yourself, purchase a complete kit for $95 and you’ll get precut supplies to create those projects – you supply the ink and adhesive and you’re ready to go. Contact me for more information! Grab the bundle before it goes away – and you know you’ll want something to do once the Olympics are over!!!

Thoughtful Branches – Limited Time Only!

ThoughtfulBranches_Share-3_Jul0516_NA

Hope you had a good long weekend (for those of us who were lucky enough to have one!). We enjoyed good weather and spent a lot of time outside – but here’s a good reason to stay inside for a short while – Stampin’ Up! has a limited time bundle called Thoughtful Branches! This set features images and coordinated framelits with sentiments that cover a variety of occasions and is available as of today, August 2. The Thoughtful Branches bundle (144328) is $66.50 CAD (plus shipping/tax), or you can purchase the Thoughtful Branches photopolymer stamp set (item 143539 $33) and the Beautiful Branches thinlits dies (item 143538 $41) separately. The set is also available in French if you prefer. One of my favourite things about this set is the script font on many of the sentiments. While I try, my hand lettering is never so gorgeous, so I love that there’s a quick and easy way to get that look.

As an extra special feature, if you purchase this bundle through me, you will receive an exclusive set of instructions for 5 projects featuring this bundle for free! You’ll be able to use it to recreate the projects at home, or use them as inspiration for your own takes on the ideas. To make it even easier, I’m offering a class project bundle – for $95 CAD (shipping and taxes included), you will receive the Thoughtful Branches bundle, plus a hardcopy of the instructions and precut cardstock for each card project! You will need to supply the Big Shot, adhesive of your choice and the inks. (Helpful – Precision Base Plate and Die Brush). Please contact me if you’re interested in the class project bundle or if you need additional information.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, otherwise click on the image or links to see the items in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. Happy Shopping!
