Bigger and Better – Weekly Deals
From now until 3 August, Stampin’ Up! Canada will be offering even more Weekly Deal Items and adding new things to the Clearance Rack (check out some of the offerings now – and grab them while they last!) Weekly Deals are specially priced product that are in the current Stampin’ Up! catalogue, while Clearance Rack items are discontinued (but still fantastic) merchandise. All items are while supplies last – there are a certain number of the Weekly Deals that are available, and once those have been sold, pricing returns to the regular catalogue listed price. SO. The best way to take advantage of these deals is to NOT hesitate! Place your order online through the YamStamps Stampin’ Up! Canada online store or contact me if you need assistance. This week, my favourite items are the Silver Sequin Trim (love the bling) and the newest option from Stampin’ Up! – the cardstock assortment pack that coordinates with a Designer Series Paper – in this case, Pretty Petals. I love that they’ve taken the guesswork out, and for those that don’t have all the cardstock colours at their fingertips, this provides a perfect way to have a totally colour coordinated crafting project.
My July newsletter will be coming out on THURSDAY, July 2nd – a little change up because tomorrow is Canada Day! Watch your inbox for its arrival, and let me know what you think of the new graphic at the top (I’ve been playing around a bit on the computer…). I hope that you are able to spend some time with family and friends doing something FUN and maybe watching some fireworks if the weather holds in your area?
Not That We’re Keeping Track or Anything…
This expression makes me laugh, and I thought it was great for a fun birthday card. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! set Oh My Goodies and when you have a monochromatic card, adding a hit of colour makes the one element really stand out. In this case, the new In Colour Cucumber Crush adds the pop. At the Monthly Card Classes and Stamp Clubs, there is always at least one card that is more masculine or “gender neutral” as my customers (as well as I) always have a need for those – and tend to be the most scan in my stash of cards.
If you are looking to build up your stash of cards, there’s a bunch of options open to you! Monthly Card Classes, Stampers Club and upcoming Christmas Card and Tin of Card Classes! I will have the schedule finalized shortly and will post it – and it will be for sure in the July YamStamps Monthly Paper Crafting Newsletter for subscribers. School is out, the schedule is slowing down (slightly) and I’ve got big plans to be crafty!!
These Are a Few of My Favourite Things…
While there are no kittens or raindrops in this batch of Stampin’ Up! Canada Weekly Deals it still includes some of my favourite things! I love glimmer paper for adding glamourous accents to my projects, and good basic embossing folders like the polka dots or stars always come in handy for adding some texture and interest to cards. Pretty much everything this week is on my list of favourites!! Click on the image or link to see all the deals in the YamStamps Stampin’ Up! Canada online store. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Just a reminder that even though school is wrapping up around here, stamping classes are NOT! Monthly Card Classes and Stampers Club continue during the summer months to give you a bit of a break from children who are “bored”…LOL you might even go home with an idea or two to get them creating as well! Contact me to register or for more information. Please note that July’s class will be the second Wednesday of the month, as the first Wednesday is Canada Day and I’ll be watching fireworks somewhere.
Happy Shopping!
