I thought I'd post this picture of one of the items I'm taking to the CH TV studios tomorrow morning – I'm slated to appear on CH Morning Live somewhere around 8:10 or 8:20 am. I've been lucky enough to have been asked to be on the show again – this time, showing some easy DIY party decoration ideas – just in time for New Year's Eve!
I'll be sure to post more pictures of the projects I'm sharing on air, and will hopefully be able to get a video of the appearance as well, so be sure to come back to www.yamstamps.com to see everything!
I'm also preparing my first newsletter of the new year, so if you haven't already, please be sure to sign up (box is at the top left of the yamstamps.com site or click here) so you don't miss all the fun & information!

Nov 30, 2010 | Announcements, rubber stamping, Seasonal Catalogue

This "love"ly card is made using the Filled with Love set from the Holiday Mini Catalogue. I used the Sizzix adhesive sheets to put adhesive all over the cardstock punch out, and then applied Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the adhesive. I like how the colour shows through the glitter. I punched the adhesive sheet with the Scallop CIrcle punch (it's really easy to punch these sheets). I carefully peeled off the backing sheet (with the words on it) without touching the adhesive surface and placed it onto cardstock, then re-punched the cardstock. I peeled off the other liner, then glittere for a sparkly accent piece!
The Stampin' Up Statement of the Heart is: "To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile achievements…in this we make a difference!"
I like that this statement talks about making a difference through sharing something that we enjoy. If you're interested in becoming a Stampin' Up! Canada demonstrator, a reminder that TODAY is the last day for the starter kit sale (50% off!) – it's a great way to start off your new business!
