Missing You Monday – Take 3

hudsonsbaycardThis week featuring three retiring items – Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Label Love stamp set (available in wood mount or clear mount), Artisan Label Punch (available on its own or as part of a bundle with the Label Love set – wood or clear) and Fancy Fan Embossing Folder. Please note once again that the stamp set has guaranteed availability until May 26th, after which it’s as supplies last, and the punch and folder are definitely only while supplies last. I’m not sure if I ever shared this card here on the YamStamps blog, but I do believe it made an appearance on either Instagram or Facebook… I made it for a friend who was going to a shower and giving a themed gift in a Hudson’s Bay bag….so I recreated the iconic Bay stripes onto a card. That is one of the definite joys of creating your own cards – they’re totally customized and personal!!

If you’re interested in trying your hand at creating cards, consider attending one of my Monthly Card Making Classes! They’re usually on the first Wednesday of each month, but for May, we’re trying out a different day to see how it goes – it will be FRIDAY, MAY 22nd at 7pm, here in Burlington. A fun way to end a week (and if you like, there will be still time to head out afterwards….or, if you’re like me, head to bed early LOL!!) so grab a friend and come on out! Registration is required by Wednesday, May 20th. Cost is $20 and includes all supplies (and instruction!) required to make 4 cards.

Missing You Monday – Take 2

flowers-cardHighlighting Stampin’ Up! stamp sets that are retiring as of June 2nd. This week’s highlighted set (well, two of them, actually) is Mixed Bunch (the flowers) and Petite Pairs, both featured on this card, originally featured in this YamStamps blog post. They’re available in wood mount or clear mount, with guaranteed availability until May 26th (after which it’s as supplies last). The large images in Mixed Bunch coordinate with the retiring Blossom Punch (available as supplies last). I love me a coordinating stamp and punch. (I have been known to call myself the Lazy Stamper…but hey – work smarter, not harder, right?!). You should always have a good sentiment set in your stash, and Petite Pairs is great because it has 2 sentiments – so you can place one on the outside of the card, and one on the inside, should you choose.

While I’m sad to see some of these fave sets going, I do have a growing sense of excitement to see what’s in the upcoming catalogue! Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators get a first peek and preorder, so if you’re chomping at the bit, perhaps this is the time to join my “Eh” Team of demonstrators? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink…)

Missing You Monday…

I know, I keep coming up with different names for things on Mondays…but I thought this was an appropriate theme to start and showcase some of the retiring sets that I will miss… hey-there-club-cardThis card was made with the Stampin’ Up! Set Just Sayin’ and the Word Bubbles Framelits Dies, both of which are retiring. The stamp set is guaranteed until May 26th, after which it’s as supplies last. The framelits are while supplies last only. It was originally featured in this post. This set is great for cardmaking or memory keeping, and can cover a wide range of ages, as well as males and females (masculine cards are often a bit of a head scratcher for the female card maker…) If you’d like to see other cards with this set, search for Just Sayin’ in the search box at the right side of the YamStamps blog, and it will show you other examples that I’ve shared with this set (or whatever set you’re looking for).
