Jul 5, 2016 | Announcements, cards, specials, Stampin' Up!
If you placed an order with me in May, consider this your virtual thank you card? These are the cards that were set to be mailed out…and then I got delayed….and then I didn’t mail them because I had heard there might be Canada Post job action starting yesterday….which now sounds like it will happen at the end of the week. So if I had sent them when I first finished everything up we would have been fine. ANYWAY. They are in a little pile here and will be sent promptly once we know what is going on with the postal situation. The cards were inspired by Ilina Crouse who shared this design in a demonstrator group. It uses the Swirly Bird stamp set (and not a bird to be seen on the card LOL) Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies (the set and dies are available as a discounted bundle) and the sentiment is from Watercolour Wings. I used three of the 2016-2018 In Colours – Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.
So…consider yourself thanked. I’ll be working on my June thank you cards in the meantime and adding them to the pile! Lots of happy mail to come.
Meanwhile, this month, there’s a new special from Stampin’ Up! Until the end of the month, for each $60 in product order (placed at one time), you’ll receive a code that is worth $6 off an order in August! You can take advantage of this by placing an order through my online store or through me via email, phone or in person at an event. I’ll make sure that I have your best email address on your file and you’ll get your code that way. (if you place your order online, it’s part of the process of creating your account). AND if you attended my Open House in June, don’t forget that you have a coupon to spend during JULY through me (contact me directly to redeem) – so even more ways to save! If you have any questions, please be sure to contact me! Otherwise, Happy Shopping!!

Jun 27, 2016 | cards, Manic Monday, specials, Stampin' Up!
I love this simple but effective design! I apologize to purists though, I had to drop the “Y” from the “ROYGBV” format because I didn’t quite have enough room….and yes, I did do some reinking of my ink pads after I did this card and realized that a few of the colours were a little faded – though it helps to show off the punched butterflies a bit more, right? I used the colours Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Night of Navy and Perfect Plum. The “splat” is from Gorgeous Grunge (available in wood mount or clear mount), and the butterflies are punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is that you don’t have to worry if the cardstock and ink will match. If products have the same name, they will coordinate! (no more searching for a red ribbon or ink that’s a little more blue based than orange based so it matches the cardstock you have….you know what I mean!). A little rhinestone bling helps the butterflies stand out a bit more. Easy, quick and effective – a perfect card to make on a Manic Monday!
I copied the design from one of the cards that Shannon West received for her birthday (sorry, cardmaker unknown). The #imbringingbirthdaysback handmade / mailed card movement has been embraced by cardmakers and Stampin’ Up! lovers! This is a great design that could be used for all sorts of occasions – like Thank You Teacher?!
Don’t forget that you only have 3 days left to take advantage of the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit special – get an extra two stamp sets of your choice (above the $165 worth of product you can choose for $135) until June 30! Don’t wait until the evening of June 30….because you don’t have to be a psychic to know that the system is going to get bogged down with everyone rushing to beat the deadline! You can find more information here, or contact me for more information!

Have you started your list? This is on my list (and yes, I know you may find it hard to believe but I’m still working out what my first big order from the new catalogue will be!). There’s a new platform for the Big Shot! It looks a little more simple to manage – with the adaptor for thinlits, without the adaptor for embossing folders.
This is one of the embossing folders I have on my list as well. Lots of idea for it, including holiday ones. If I get my act together in time and get my order in, I’ll have this for the upcoming Christmas Card Class on June 24th – so there may very well be a card using this!
The monthly YamStamps Paper Crafting Newsletter goes out via email tomorrow (Tuesday, June 7th) at 1pm eastern, but only to subscribers! Here’s the link to sign up, if the pop up box and permanent box at the top right haven’t caught your eye yet (haha!). Oh – and if you need help fulfilling your wish list needs, you can shop online here or contact me for more assistance.
