Here’s a Frugal Friday Video Tip – using up your Adhesive Die Cut Leftovers! This video uses leftovers from the February 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Subscribers can purchase past kits and refills, so if you “need” extras for this kit, grab them while they’re available! If you’re not yet a subscriber, now is the time to sign up! The three month kit is on sale, and you also qualify for a Sale-a-Bration item at the same time! Find out more about Paper Pumpkin here or shop the rest of the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store here.
Trying something new with this quick video – decided to go wordless – so there’s music, the video and some written words, and the whole thing is only about 2 minutes long! If you can’t access the video below, please visit the YamStamps YouTube channel to see this video and the others that are up there. Let me know what you think of this format. I realize that not all paper crafting videos are suited to this style, but it may be something for the quick videos… you can leave a comment below, on the video itself, or email me. Thanks!
Oh – and YamStamps Newsletter Subscribers received Early Access to this video! If you want to get in on the advance notices in the future, be sure to be subscribed!!
OK I don’t want to jinx it, but it’s starting to feel spring-like around here…. Here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada. Remember that there’s a limited quantity at this special price, so it’s while supplies last or until March 14th. My favourite item this week is the Bow Builder Punch. I love the cute bows (amongst other things) it can create to add a great accent to any paper crafting project!
A reminder – tomorrow is my Information Evening! If you’d like to find out more about buying the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit during Sale-a-Bration, this is the event to attend! It’s free, and all you need to do is RSVP. It will be in North Burlington. This is a great time to become part of the Stampin’ Up! family, because you get more product in the kit at the same price – but only for a few more weeks! If you can’t attend, you can check out some more info here, or contact me to chat at a time that’s more convenient for you.
I have a new Frugal Friday Video Tip that I’ll be posting on … Friday… but if you would like to get early access to the video, be subscribed to my newsletter by end of day on Tuesday, March 8th. I’ll send out a link to newsletter subscribers on Wednesday, so you’ll need to be signed up before then! It’s a little perk for those who register 🙂 Any questions, please feel free to email me. You can sign up for the newsletter by using the pop up box, the form at the top right of the blog, or you can get more information here.
I thought we could use a little floral feel on the blog today…after having a big snow dump around here, I need a little reminder that spring will eventually arrive! I love the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies, and the coordinating Rose Wonder Stamp Set – and love the bundle that’s discounted by 15% even more! For this card, rose/leaves were die cut from watercolour paper, then we used the aquapainter with some Rose Red and Always Artichoke reinker to colour the die cut image. The Fine-Tip Glue Pen came in very handy to adhere this die cut onto the card front. The other tool that was useful was the Big Shot Die Brush to remove all the little bits and pieces, and help ease the die cut out of the thinlit. This bundle and the Brush tool have been popular choices from the Occasions Catalogue!
I sent out my monthly paper crafting newsletter yesterday (if you sign up for the newsletter now, you’ll get a copy of the last one that went out as well!). In that newsletter was a link to a quick survey about paper crafting – to help me tailor my online and in person classes to what your needs are! Please complete the survey, and if you include your information (it’s optional), I will make a draw from everyone who completed the survey to win a $20 gift certificate from me! Thank you in advance for your help.
Don’t forget about the upcoming Birthday Card Class for March – you get a Wink of Stella pen included in your $25 class fee! Click on the button to register – deadline is Thursday, March 10th so that the supplies can arrive in time for the class!
See the YamStamps Events Page for other upcoming classes and events. I look forward to seeing you in class soon!
Around here, March is coming in like a lion, with a winter storm watch in effect! So batten down the hatches and check out Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Weekly Deals! I think that the best deal this week is the Tin of Cards Project Kit! We did a class with this kit last year and it was so easy getting a lot of cards done! You make a variety of cards, in about 4 different styles, and you can make each style exactly the same, or mix and match. At the end, you have a tin full of cards, with organized dividers! It’s a great gift to someone special (either the kit itself, or the completed tin) – and this includes yourself! Click on the image or here to shop in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store – take advantage of the Weekly Deals, and remember that for each $60 in product that you order, you can pick one free Sale-a-Bration item….but only until the end of March!
