Happy Valentine’s Day! This is the card that I did on air with anchor Annette Hamm on Morning Live last week – using the Triple Time technique. It’s an easy way to make an impressive looking card that will have people wondering how you did it! If you need another look at how we did it, or more details, check out the video tutorial I did on the technique on the YamStamps YouTube Channel last year.
Sets used for this card include Peachy Keen from the Occasions Catalogue and See Ya Later from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue
I hope that you take a moment today to let someone know you care about them!!

Here’s a fun card for Valentine’s Day – nice enough on the outside…
featuring the Tags 4 You set from the Holiday Catalogue that is still available to order, punched out with the Bracket Label punch and accented with a row of hearts from the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions folders.
But open the card and there’s an extra surprise!
Inside, it’s fun with mini banners! These are from the Sale-a-Bration set Banner Blast and the coordinating Sale-a-Bration Banner punch. Remember that you get one free Sale-a-Bration item for every $60 in Stampin’ Up! Canada merchandise ordered until the end of March.
This was one of the cards I took along to Morning Live, but I’m not sure if you got a look at it on screen…and with the travel to and fro I notice now that one of the little banners is a little askew – but hey, as I _always_ say – if the recipient of a handmade card makes a negative comment, then they don’t deserve it!!! LOL Just joking. Kind of.

I must apologize for not getting these up a little sooner – there was much drama behind the scenes here with some technical issues on the website, however all is well now, thanks to the fantastic support team at HostGator . So anyway – on to the fun stuff! Here’s the other folded heart I showed on TV last week – simple to make and fun to share.
This version is wide enough to hide a chocolate treat inside.
If you punch a hole in the centre of the folded strip (about halfway from either end), you can string them into a garland.
In this version (that I forgot to share on air after all that! LOL) I adhered a strip of photos to some Designer Series paper and then made a heart ornament. For this one, I adhered two strips at the bottom rather than pinching it in half so that all the photos would be right side up.
Whip some of these up for Valentine’s Day – there’s still time!

Here’s this week’s deals! Lots of fun Big Shot items and a rather appropriate digital download for this area….*sigh* In my books, you can never go wrong with having a stash of white ribbon on hand – it goes with everything and you can dye it with reinkers to match projects. Click on the description for each item to see it in the YamStamps online store or if you have any questions, please contact me!

I am so fortunate to continue to have the opportunity to appear on CHCH Morning Live. The anchors and crew are so much fun and really put me at ease. This past Friday was no exception! I was invited to share some Valentine’s Day projects for loved ones. I created cards for friends and family and projects to share with special people. If you watch the video, you’ll see a photo card I’ll be sending to my friend in England that I was able to visit over the holidays, and a fun coffee pod holder that I’d shared on Instagram earlier. See if you can spot the difference between the one on Instagram and how it appeared on air… ooops. Sometimes things get rearranged in transit, what can I say….
Here’s the video. If you don’t see it embedded below, please click here to visit the post on www.yamstamps.com or see it on the YamStamps YouTube channel here. Click here to get the Folded Heart Instruction Sheet
Check back this week – I’ll be posting photos of the projects I took to the studio!!
