I often get asked where I get ideas for cards. I do create a fair number of them myself, but also get ideas and inspiration from fellow demonstrators! Sunday Swap Card Share posts will help me share inspiration that I’ve received from card swaps! Demonstrators often participate in these swaps – we batch create one design and then send them to the host, who swaps out the cards and sends them back. In exchange for a set number of identical cards, we receive a set of one of everyone’s cards. It’s a great way to get new takes on sets that I already own….and often encouragement to put others on my wish list!!
In honour of France’s World Cup win last weekend, for the first Sunday Swap Card Share I am featuring this French language creation by Emilie Poncelet. It uses the Little Twinkle Stamp Set – available in red rubber wood mount or clear mount versions. The French version of the stamp set that Emilie used is Petite Etoile, available in clear mount. The stamp sets are also available in discounted bundles with the Twinkle Builder Punch – wood mount, clear mount and French versions are available. HINT: If you’re looking on the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada webstore and want to find all the available French language sets, just type “french” into the search box and it will pull up all the stamp sets and bundles that are available. A reminder that if you live in Quebec and wish to place an order, all you have to do is email (or call) me, and I will place the order for you and have it delivered directly to your door. This also applies if you live elsewhere in Canada – but those outside of Quebec also have the option to place your order online yourself – shortcut is yamstamps.com/shop.
You can just get a peek at the inside of the card to see that Emilie’s also used one of the stamps to decorate the corner of the inside. This bundle has now moved a little higher on my wish list! I just purchased the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper that is part of this suite….since it’s part of the Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper sale that is running in July, so I can already envision some cute projects using the coordinating products together! A reminder as well that the Ink Pad Special for New Demonstrators also is running during July only – purchase a starter kit ($165 worth of product for $135) and receive a full set of the newly designed Ink Pads in the Colour Family of your choice! If you sign up with my group, you’ll be eligible for “Eh” Team Rewards, exclusive groups and other demonstrator only events – like swaps, or the upcoming On Stage Event in Orlando, Florida!! Registration for the event will open next month, so if you sign up now, you’ll be eligible to attend this 30th Anniversary event in November! I’m really looking forward to attending this one (hello, Florida, in November vs Ontario in November….). If you’d like more information about being part of my demonstrator group, you can check out this information page (shortcut is yamstamps.com/join) or contact me. Lots of ways to get more value for your crafting dollar this month!
