New Online Class – launching 11 January – Card FUNdamentals!
Pre-launch sale pricing is available now for the Card FUNdamentals Online Class! The class will launch on Thursday, 11 January at 7pm Eastern, at which time regular class pricing will be in effect – but until then, you can register for $10 off!
The Card FUNdamentals class will cover all the essentials of cardmaking – back to the basics so to speak. What should be in your basic tool kit, how to use those tools, and tips and tricks to make your card making easier. We’ll also go over basic card construction and design – a real “101” for your cardmaking.
If you have drifted away from cardmaking, just getting started with cards, or just want a bit of a primer on cardmaking, this is the class for you! Like all my online classes, you’ll have lifetime access (or reasonable facsimile) to the class information. The class consists of pre-recorded and edited videos housed on my Online Class site (so no Facebook required). Since there is no physical product included, it is open to international students!
Pay just $20CAD now until class launch 11 January! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Depending on how you write the date, today is “123123” day! Of course, if you write the day first, then it’s 311223, so not quite as poetic…..so for today, let’s all do month first! (Not my usual way, if you can tell LOL).
It’s natural to reflect back on the year and look forward to the next, especially today. Looking back at the YamStamps 2023 year, there’s a lot of things for which I am thankful!
So for 2024, I’m looking forward to continuing to bring you new ideas and fun samples here on the YamStamps site to help inspire YOUR creativity – with the ongoing angle of techniques and designs that are impressive but not overly difficult to recreate! The YamStamps Sketch System Subscription program is ongoing, aimed to help subscribers create cards quickly and easily, and YamStamps More online classes for more in depth teaching of techniques and designs (though, again, focusing on the impressive but not overly difficult to recreate!).
THANK YOU for stopping by and continuing to support me! Other no-cost ways of supporting me and my small business – subscribing to my email list, liking/following YamStamps on social media, and leaving a comment on blog or social media posts!
Leaving you with this “thank you” card that features the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper which is being CARRIED OVER from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue – so it will be available to order (as supply allows) even after that catalogue is finished on 3 January 2024! It’s got some beautiful designs and colours, so I’m happy to be able to replenish my supply for a little longer!
Thank you for stopping by the YamStamps blog! Wishing you a happy, healthy and creatively inspired 2024!!
Thank you for stopping by the YamStamps site. I hope that you are able to spend time today in a way that is meaningful and important to you.
It’s been one of those years where I feel like I’ve been playing catch up or keep up the whole time. The statutory holidays give me a few days off in a row, and I’m looking forward to spending time resting and recharging, as well as catching up with family. I may, of course, throw a little crafting in there as well!
I hope that you have a wonderful day. Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas Eve! I always enjoy a bit of quiet time before Christmas Day, just looking at the tree….usually because I’m sitting on the ground after finishing up my wrapping!! In any case, I’ve set up a post in the schedule so I can take some time off, and I’m hoping everything works correctly….
I’m giving you early access to my Boxing Day Special!From now until 27 December 2023, you can get a “Fantastic” Exclusive Bundle at 50% off regular price! I’ve created the special bundle of the Fantastic Florals Online Class and the Fantastic Fancy Folds Class – EACH is regularly $30CAD but for Boxing Day, you’ll get them BOTH for $30CAD! Of course, like my other classes, it’s lifetime access (or reasonable facsimile….in any case, more than enough time to go through the classes more than a few times!).
Grab this retiring Die set so you can create your own Handcrafted Elements Card!
I was late to find the Handcrafted Elements Dies in the September – December Mini Catalogue, and they’ll be retiring on 3 January 2024 – so don’t miss out! They’re discounted as part of the Last Chance Sale too!
Here’s one of my Handcrafted Elements Cards…
I love that the dies work with each other to create a more complex image (without ME having to do all the work!). To make this handcrafted elements card even easier, I added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Gold Foil sheet before die cutting. The top die is a lot more detailed and has thinner pieces, so with me and my usually messy adhesive application, it was sure to end up everywhere – so the adhesive sheet is a perfect way to adhere it quickly and neatly! I did end up using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Mossy Meadow die cut to the cardfront, though, focusing the dots of glue on the wider parts of the die cut.
To keep the colour scheme simple, I added the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed in gold. Texture from the crosshatch design of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (my current “go to” for easy backgrounds) makes the Very Vanilla backdrop a little more interesting.
The Handcrafted Elements Dies also have a floral themed tag, an ornament and a star – so it’s a great multipurpose set to have on hand – and it’s 10% off while supplies last / until 3 January 2024. Add these dies to your crafting stash so you can make your own handcrafted elements cards for all occasions!
