Happy World Cardmaking Day! Basics Tutorial for you

Happy World Cardmaking Day! Today we celebrate the art and craft of cardmaking, which of course leads (hopefully!!) to card sending. It used to be that we were thrilled to get an email and found things delivered by post very common – it’s definitely not that way anymore – it seems we are innundated by emails, and it’s thrilling to receive something in the mail (especially if it’s NOT in a window envelope…LOL).

I thought I’d do a quick video tutorial on basic cuts and layers for cardmaking that you can apply to any project. I must also admit, it’s a pretty “quick and dirty” video, both figuratively and literally! It was shot quickly…and if you watch it, you’ll see the “dirty” part (hint…I shot this video after card class and we used black ink at one point…check out my right hand?! LOL). Part of the reason it’s quick and dirty is also because I’ve been working on the not as quick and much prettier videos for my next online card class, which should be up and ready to go by the end of the weekend – so come back to see more information about that!!

Here’s the video – Happy World Cardmaking Day!  If you can’t see the embedded video below, come directly to the post on yamstamps.com or check the yamstamps youtube channel.

Best of Christmas – and a chance to WIN

This month is the “Best of Christmas” set, just in time for all of your holiday crafting!

Now for the opportunity to WIN! For this month, I’m trying something new. If you place an online order from anywhere in Canada during this month, use the hostess code WAUDSM7E  When you do, you’ll be entered into a draw for hostess benefits! 

If you’re new to shopping online at my Stampin’ Up! store, here’s an image of the screen. You’ll want to be sure it has my name at the top left, and the arrow at the bottom left shows you where to enter the hostess code.

IMPORTANT!! If your order is $200, DO NOT USE THE CODE as you will get your own hostess benefits (or “Stampin’ Rewards” as it’s referred to on the online shopping site! If you order is less than $200, that’s when you should use the code. Minimum shipping charges will apply, and the order will be delivered directly to you!  If you have any questions, please contact me.
