Mar 20, 2017 | cards, Sale-A-Bration, Stampin' Up!
I love a good laugh, and food puns are fun! “Let’s taco ’bout how awesome you are!” This card features images and words from the Tasty Trucks stamp set (143300), which is one of the Sale-a-Bration items you can select for free with each $60 (CAD) merchandise order. The patterned paper is from the Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper. I thought it had kind of a southwestern feel to it (though my friends in the southwest might disagree…). A quick bit of colouring with Stampin’ Write markers (yay small images means QUICK) and the card is good to go! These were my February thank you cards for customer orders.
Sale-a-Bration is on for just a bit longer – it ends on March 31st, so if you want to grab any Sale-a-Bration items, best get them while you can, especially since they are as supply lasts. (Bad Food Puns Alert)“I donut want you to miss out!” In fact, the tin and the Glimmer Paper from the second release (featured on this card, which is travelling to its new home in BC…) are already unavailable for ordering. If you are looking to grab the Starter Kit deal, you’ll also want to act sooner rather than later because traditionally, the last day of Sale-a-Bration sees the website for online sign ups bogged down with everyone trying to get in at the last minute – which is stressful! If you have any questions about the starter kit, or having your own Stampin’ Up! business, you can always contact me for a chat, or check out the information on this page.
In other news, I’m (food puns alert) eggcited to announce the winner of the St Patrick’s Day Contest! (OK I promise I will stop with the puns….for now…). The colour of the shamrock was indeed Emerald Envy! Thank you to the people who commented on the blog, even with the tight deadline. The random number generator picked…
and the second commenter was Cheryl! Congratulations Cheryl, I’ll contact you to arrange getting a package of Emerald Envy cardstock to you!
I know you may be sad about the impending end of Sale-a-Bration, but don’t worry – April will be awesome. I’ll be celebrating 15 years as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator so will be wanting you to share in the fun! You’ll want to be subscribed to the YamStamps Newsletter as well as keeping an eye here on the YamStamps Blog so you don’t miss out! (OK I was really tempted to say so you don’t MISO out…but I figured that might be one food pun too many…)
Mar 17, 2017 | cards, contest, Occasions, punch art, Stampin' Up!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! This is a really quick St Patrick’s Day card – created with the Sweet & Sassy Framelit Dies, Stitched Shape Framelit Dies, and the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set which is available in clear mount or wood mount.
Do you have the luck of the Irish?? One lucky commenter will win a package of cardstock! To enter, comment below and answer this question: What colour cardstock was used for the shamrock? (HINT: it’s a Stampin’ Up! colour….and like Stampin’ Up! colours coordinate, this colour’s name coordinates with today). Answer by midnight eastern time March 17, 2017 to be included in the draw! Good luck!
Mar 15, 2017 | cards, Sale-A-Bration, Stampin' Up!
I love large sentiments that can stand on their own. This simple thank you card is a perfect example of this! The sentiment is from So Very Much – a Sale-a-Bration free choice option available in wood or clear mount. The Designer Series Paper, Carried Away, is used on this card as well, and is another option for a free Sale-a-Bration choice. These are available until the end of March, or while supplies last. The gold and white tin is already unavailable as the supply has been depleted.
This may appear as a very simple thank you card, but the design and fold make it a little different. It’s a Z Fold card, so a side fold card where the front panel is folded back on itself. For this design, the Night of Navy background piece covers the “usual” front of card, but is only adhered to the folded back front portion. It just makes it a bit more unusual and eye catching, I think. If you are interested in learning some other interesting folds and tricks to make your cards stand out, consider registering for the Clever Cards Online Class – there are five different patterns in the class, complete with instructions, photos and videos.
This card is currently making its way to customers who placed a product order with me in January of this year. I always make them “reusable” – so my note inside is on a post-it note, which can be removed so that the recipient can “regift” the card! It’s a simple thank you card that simply keeps on giving! If you’re curious to see the March design in person (so am I since I haven’t designed it yet LOL), don’t forget to place an order before the end of the month! If you’re placing an order online, be sure to check off the box that says YES, I’d like to receive updates on products, promotions and upcoming events from Stampin’ Up! when you are creating your account so that your information is passed on to me – that way, I can follow up with you and send your thank you card to you in the mail! If you click no, unfortunately I get absolutely no information, so I have to send a virtual thanks into the atmosphere since I have no clue who has placed the online order. Of course, you can always email me and I can place the order for you. You have just over two weeks left to get a free Sale-a-Bration item with each $60 in product ordered, or an extra two free stamp sets with $165 product for $135 in the Starter Kit – so please don’t delay! The last day of Sale-a-Bration sees the Stampin’ Up! ordering system bogged down with everyone trying to get in at the last minute – so avoid the rush and don’t be disappointed! Contact me if you have any questions.
Mar 14, 2017 | Announcements, Paper Pumpkin, specials
Fun stuff coming up in April! We’ve been told there will be a free gift in April’s edition of Paper Pumpkin – and it will also be a kit designed by the CEO of the company, Sara Douglass! Paper Pumpkin is Stampin’ Up!’s subscription crafting kit. Each kit comes with everything you will need to create that month’s project. In the past, there has been a mini scrapbook, a frameable piece of art, cards, packaging…. Each kit features an exclusive project and stamp set! It’s also a way to build up a stash of Stampin’ Spots – little ink pad cubes that are perfect for travel.
Paper Pumpkin is available in a variety of ways – you can subscribe month to month, you can prepay for a subscription of one month, three months, six months or twelve months. There is a price discount for the six and twelve month prepaid subscriptions, and the three month kit is currently on special. If you subscribe now and prepay for 3 months or more, you’ll qualify for Sale-a-Bration freebies, save some money, AND get the free gift in April with the exclusively designed kit!
I have been asked to be a participant for a fundraiser in Waterdown for Providence Christian School at the end of the month (March 31!), and a couple of the auction items I will be bringing along are past Paper Pumpkin kits. You’ll be able to see them if you stop by my table before the fun starts – and if you want more information about the event, you can contact me! (I have a few tickets!). I thought they’d be perfect prizes – because everything is there in the box! Don’t forget that if you would like to get the exclusive kit and free gift in April, you’ll need to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin by April 10th. (and no, they haven’t even told demonstrators what the gift is….) Don’t miss out!
