Apr 5, 2015 | Announcements, specials, Stampin' Up!
Happy Easter! I hope that you are able to spend some time with family and friends on this day. I’m looking forward to a relaxing day with family. Re-sharing this fun punch art bunny that can decorate chocolates – in this case, a Peppermint Patty. So even if you don’t have any stamps in your stash that scream “Easter”, you can come up with something!
Starting tomorrow, you can work off those chocolates by flipping through your Stampin’ Up! Catalogue and marking things off your wish list – because you’ll get FREE SHIPPING until the end of the week! April 6-10 ONLY – pay nothing for shipping. (You’ll save even more because you won’t have to pay taxes on the shipping & handling costs – because any % of $0 is $0!). Please note this offer excludes expedited shipping. SO – get ready, get set, SHOP! Please contact me if you have any questions, or need help placing your order.
Apr 2, 2015 | Retired List, Stampin' Up!
I know, I know, it’s still a while off, but you know that with the coming of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue (June 1st), room must be made for the new product! While we won’t know everything that will be retiring until April 21st, one thing we DO know – the 2013-2015 In Colours are going to retire. So if you love all those colours that have names that make me kind of hungry – Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Canteloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush and one that doesn’t – Coastal Cabana – you might want to consider adding them to your orders this month. We do know that they are going away, and we do know that usually it’s “while supplies last”. 
So check out the items, make your list and place your order! If you need assistance, please feel free to contact me. Happy Shopping!
Mar 31, 2015 | specials, Stampin' Up!
It’s the last day for Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Sale-a-Bration – the last day to get extra product for free with each $60 merchandise order or by purchasing the starter kit and joining my group of demonstrators – but they have a treat in store for us to make the transition easier. This week’s deals are full of great items – my fave this week – the Magnetic Platform for the Big Shot. This is a “must have” in my books! It makes die cutting with framelits so much easier! If you already have it, then why not grab a few more framelits to go with it? Lots to choose from in the catalogue, and a bunch on special this week as well.
Click on the image to see the items in the YamStamps online Stampin’ Up! Canada store or contact me if you need assistance. If you order before midnight, you’ll qualify for the last day of Sale-a-Bration benefits. Please don’t leave it to the last minute, though, because you can imagine how the system might get slowed down by the rush of last minute shoppers!
Mar 30, 2015 | cards, Occasions, Stampin' Up!
This is a fun card to whip up for Easter. Using Stampin’ Up!’s Cheerful Critters set and Teeny Tiny Wishes, which is the most useful stamp set on the face of the planet… The Cheerful Critters is a photopolymer set, which means it’s see through (well, more or less, mine has been used and loved and is slightly stained LOL). I found it easiest to eyeball where the critter’s sign would land, and then stamp the greeting first. I was then able to position the critter accurately since I could see through to where my greeting was. This was a quick colouring job with my Stampin’ Write markers on Shimmery White cardstock. (See? There is life after Blendabilities!!). I also used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to coordinate with the bunny’s shirt and added a touch of ribbon to complete it. This square card is 4.25″ x 4.25″ completed so still fits in Stampin’ Up!’s medium envelopes.
One of my commitments this year is to send more “Happy Mail” – cards in the mail. If you’d like to add to your stash of cards to give and send, don’t forget the Monthly Card Classes – there’s one on April 1st (no fooling!) but you must register at least 2 days in advance (that would be TODAY, Monday, for April’s class) Hope to see you soon!!
