Cards that POP is my latest Online Class offering – and it’s been one of my favourites to put together. I don’t like super complicated crafting projects, so if I can make pop up cards, you can too! I’ll show you how. Check out the projects I’ll be sharing in the class…
My next online class is going to be FUN – for both YOU (taking the class and making the cards) and the LUCKY PERSON who gets to receive that card! Pop Up Cards are ALWAYS impressive – and I’ll show you some easy techniques that you can customize. Yes, EASY. Cards that POP!
This quick promo video just shows ONE of the cards that I will show you how to make during the online class!
If you register during Early Bird/Pre-Launch (aka NOW) – you’ll save $10CAD on regular pricing! Pay just $20CAD for lifetime access. This special price will expire on Thursday, 9 February 2023 when the class launches. Go to https://go.yamstampsmore.com/pop to find out more and register!
Like all my online classes, you’ll have lifetime access (or reasonable facsimile…haha) to the class content videos. You can use whatever supplies you have on hand to create your own versions of the class cards.
Please message me if you have any questions – otherwise, I’ll “see” you in class when it opens 9 February!
Add some colour to this easy and elegant die cut card!
Stampin’ Up! Canada has some beautiful larger dies in the catalogues. The Two Tone Flora dies include dies that coordinate with the Two Tone Flora stamp set plus a larger detailed die that leaves a border around the cut section which I featured on this easy and elegant die cut card.

The die is used to cut the detail in the cardfront, and then there’s a pop of colour in behind! Plus some Rhinestone Basic Jewels because who doesn’t like a little extra bling on their card?! I also added some Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle on the diecut (but it doesn’t photograph very well).

So as you can tell….you don’t need a lot of skill to create the coloured panel for this card….haha – that’s what helps make it an easy and elegant die cut card! If you can scribble, you can do this. I just did linear colouring, but you could do more organic blobby shapes (technical term…) or circles, or whatever.

If you like crafting tips, tricks and tutorials, be sure to sign up for my newsletters! At the beginning of each month is the multi-project newsletter, then each week after that it’s smaller updates, with tutorials, tips or information, released each Tuesday. I’ll be releasing the February multi-project newsletter early, since the 31st of January falls on a Tuesday – and I don’t want you to have to wait until a week into February to get all the goodies! You can sign up the top right of the YamStamps blog page, in the box near the top of the YamStamps home page, or just click here.
In the meantime, if you’re in Ontario, hope that you are staying safe and not having to shovel TOO much snow right now!
Check out my Lovely Cards Inspiration Book – a portable photo gallery!
I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! Canada Demonstrator for twenty years – time definitely flies when you’re having fun! You can imagine how many cards I’ve made in that time. I did manage to take photos or scans(!) of many of the cards that I created over the years.
Recently, I spent time going through my archives….and have collected a hundred project photos that focus on love to create theLovely Cards Inspiration Book, and I’m happy to offer that for sale right now! It’s an ebook photo gallery – so you can download it as soon as the purchase transaction completes. You’ll be able to go through all the photos and get ideas and inspiration for your own cards and projects!
This is an ebook – so it’s in pdf form that you can download to your device and look through whenever you have the chance. It is NOT a tutorial book. It’s meant to inspire your designs and creativity with your crafty stash items! You can use the Inspiration Book photos as a jumping off point, but you could also just copy the design elements or layout of whatever card catches your eye. Paper Crafting doesn’t have to be difficult to be fun and impressive!
Check out YamStamps.com/lovelycards for more information and to purchase your copy in time for Valentine’s Day – but also for ANY time you’d like to let someone know that you care!
Curved layers make this hello there card more interesting!
This hello there curved layer card uses Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Around the Bend stamp set and coordinating dies – and I think that this makes the usual “layer the patterned paper on cardstock and then onto the cardfront” look a little more interesting. Of course, I’m all about making an interesting card without spending 6 hours on it, so I’m happy about that!
Hello There Curved Layer Card
The Around the Bend stamp set is available in your choice of red rubber cling mount or clear photopolymer material – so when you place your order be mindful that they will have different item numbers (or just contact me and let me know which one you want and I will be mindful when I place the order for you!). The Around the Bend dies have coordinating shapes and angles, and there’s a discounted cling mount bundle or a discounted photopolymer bundle available. Have I mentioned how much I love the fact that the coordinating dies and stamp sets now have the same name so I don’t have to remember which ones go together?!
The scalloped layer on the Hello There Curved Layer Card is cut from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper which is a Sale-a-Bration item – you can select this patterned paper for free with a $120CAD product order. I picked the Pale Papaya cardstock for the curved layer and I also used Pale Papaya ink for the sentiment. After I finished the card, I decided I wanted to add a bit more bling to it – so I used some 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to add shine and just a touch of colour.

The Take Your Pick Tool with the Die Brush Tip make removing all the little bits easier – just place the die cut piece on the foam that comes with the Brush tip, then run the brush over the die cut piece. I put my foam mat into a shallow box to try to contain some of the little bits that tend to go flying (especially because I am usually doing it in a hurry….).
This is one of the cards we made during Stampers Club this month, though I didn’t think of adding the bling until after club! My Stampers Club is a great way for members to budget out their crafting spending. Each month, we meet (via Zoom/recording) and create the card projects from the packet of supplies each member receives. After club, we place a group order, and each club member gets a turn receiving the Stampin’ Rewards from the orders placed that month. Each member signs up for 6 months and has the option to continue for another 6 months. Some members take a break every now and then, and some just carry on! New members can start at any month, so we often have a rotation of new faces coming and going. Right now, since we continue to meet by Zoom, the bonus is that if you can’t make the club date, you can catch the recording, and still benefit from being in club. The other bonus is that you can be anywhere in Canada, you don’t have to be local to Burlington! If you’re interested in joining us, or have any questions about Stampers Club, feel free to contact me!
