One punch, two stamps, three ink pads, four cardstocks and you have a card! This “just because” card uses the Stampin’ Up! Bitty Butterfly punch, the “swoosh” stamp from Work of Art and the “hello” stamp from A Dozen Thoughts. Three inks – the new In Colour Mint Macaron which coordinates on this card with So Saffron and Blushing Bride. Four cardstocks – Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron and scraps of So Saffron and Blushing Bride. Add a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and you’ve got a card! This could also work for a baby card with the soft colours, or you could change the colour scheme entirely to become more bold and vivid.
If you’re looking to make cards and learn some new tips and tricks for your papercrafting, consider attending an event – like one of the YamStamps Monthly Cardmaking Classes! We are continuing through the summer, so if you need to beat the heat and have a little time away from the kids, please join us! Registration is open for the July 8th class, but you must register by July 6th. One other option – if you like a regular gathering, consider joining our Stampers Club – members join for 6 months of classes and get Hostess Benefits once during their time in club. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Here are the latest batch of Stampin’ Up! Canada Weekly Deals! My faves this week – I love how easy the Circle Card Thinlits Die makes it to make a “flip flop” interactive card, and I always try to have some neutral toned ribbon in my stash to add some texture and interest to a card. Click on the image or link to shop now, or contact me if you have any questions or need help placing your order. Happy Shopping!

Here are Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Weekly Deals! You can grab any or all of these deals by shopping online or contacting me directly to place an order. I think the gift card envelope thinlit is so useful – especially when you have teenagers in the house – because let’s face it, that’s all they really seem to want as gifts! My other favourites this week – the satin ribbon. Having a neutral or metallic sheen plain ribbon on hand can add a perfect touch to a card or paper crafting project when it needs a little something extra. Happy Shopping!

These are some ideas of what you can create with the Stampin’ Up! set Sprinkles of Life. I love when things coordinate and I don’t have to think, and this set coordinates with the new Tree Builder Punch, which of course means easy “cut outs” without having to pull out the Paper Snips! The other great thing about this stamp set? A portion of sales goes to Ronald McDonald House Charities. So you can be creative, have fun, and help raise funds for a great charity. This is one of the sets I was able to preorder from the new catalogue, but (insert sad face here) I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it yet!! I’m currently busy getting things ready for my YamStamps New Catalogue Open House and Retired Rubber Garage Sale Saturday morning…and I’ve tried to be extra ruthless in the culling of stamp sets this year (I admit, there are sets I was kind of hanging on to…). Operation Organization is an ongoing thing at my place, and I’ve realized that the first step to my Stamp Room being more organized is to get rid of stuff!!! So I’m looking to people Saturday to help me out! No pressure or anything….
Please don’t forget to RSVP so I can be sure to hold a copy of the new catalogue for you on Saturday, or fill out the form so I can get one in the mail to you. Hope to see you soon!!
