Oct 7, 2014 | Announcements, specials, Stampin' Up!
Here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada! Love that the Silver Glimmer Paper is on sale right now – in time for all that holiday crafting and card making (keep scrolling down and check out the fun Hallowe’en treat bag using the Glimmer Paper on the tag!) I also have a weak spot for stationery items, so I’m thinking of grabbing a couple extra This and That Epic Day Journals. These books are fantastic “smash books” but also great for my “to do” lists and “if I don’t write it down I’ll forget” items – plus you can personalize the covers – and the insides aren’t just plain old boring paper, either!! Please feel free to
contact me if you need assistance
placing your order or have any questions. Happy shopping!!
Here’s the fun treat bag we got at Stampin’ Up!’s Fall Event in Kitchener this past weekend. I was able to help make these ahead of time for attendees. (If you are on my Instagram feed, you’ll have seen this one already). We used the Chalk Talk framelits to cut the Silver Glimmer paper into tags and added the tag from Merry Everything (punched out with the Note Tag punch, which you can get as a bundle with the stamp set). Added some Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper to the Chevron Bags, tied on some Tangelo Twist 3/8″ Satin Stitched ribbon and filled with candies! I still find stray glitter around the stamp room (I think some of it’s embedded in my cutting plates now LOL) and of course on me…I guess after making 50 of these that’s to be expected.

Happy World Cardmaking Day! I hope you get to celebrate by doing something fun and creative….like making cards? I’m spending the day getting business tips and inspiration with fellow demonstrators at a Stampin’ Up! Canada event.
Here I am with Leanne and Mary, two demonstrators in my group called the “Eh” team.
…and because it’s World Cardmaking Day, I do feel the obligation to share a card with you all!! This is fun card I used at last month’s classes. The flower (from Flower Fair framelits) was die cut from the top layer first, before embossing with the Perfect Polka Dots folder. The top layer is applied to the Melon Mambo layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then the smaller flower was adhered in the centre of the die cut.
Don’t forget that if you want more card ideas, one of the best way is to come to a class and make them! Monthly card classes happen the first Wednesday of each month, or Stampers Club meets every 3rd Monday of the month – and there’s a new option to attend during the daytime instead of the evening if that works better for you. Please contact me if you need more information or want to register! If you aren’t able to make these times there are options – get a group together and we can set a date just for you – or try an online class from the comfort of your own home!
Now – go be creative!!

Two step stamping is what first drew me to Stampin’ Up! – I loved that I could have different colours on the same image without a lot of fuss. Recently, Stampin’ Up! has started producing more photopolymer sets which makes it easier to line up the components, and on the set on this card, Wonderous Wreath, there’s actually a “tab” on each stamp and the coordinating framelits! All I have to do is line the tab up the same way each time and it’s pretty no fuss – plus photopolymer is see through so it also helps to line things up. I personally put the tab at “6 o’clock” each time to make it easier to remember (as long as I don’t rotate my paper LOL). These items are available together at a discount – I love this bundle!
This is a fun card that I put together – I used it for Stampers Club and then added a bit more “bling” to it with Dazzling Details and used it for a card swap. If I was really clever (and really did have every item in the catalogue) – I should have used the CHERRY COBBLER Dazzling Details. Ah well, the cards are done now, so I will leave that little extra detail to YOU when you recreate this card! (Please send me a photo!). I used Pear Pizzazz as the base, with Garden Green on top for the darker leaves, and Cherry Cobbler for the berries and bow.
Don’t forget about the Stamp Stock and Save sale going on until Monday – and use the hostess code KEH4WRUB so it will flag me to send you a set of instructions for 3 fun projects! I will be sending them all out via email next week. Happy Friday!!
