A Just For You card using some retiring product. Just a few days left to grab these items before we fully turn our attention to the new Stampin’ Up! Canada catalogue!
We made this card as part of Stampers Club this month. Currently we are continuing to meet online, so I sent out the class packets and then we assembled the projects together during a Zoom session. It was nice to be able to see each other, even if we couldn’t be in the same room! Under Stampin’ Up! regulations, we can’t send out stamped images, so club members got a blank label and could add whatever sentiment suited their needs.
My next online event is the New Catalogue Kick Off which I’m hosting in a limited time Facebook Group. I’ll be sharing some projects using new product, and I’ll go live in the group on Wednesday evening (June 3 – the day the new catalogue is active). Click here to request membership. I’ll keep the group open until the end of the week, and then will revert to using the YamStamps Facebook Page and Paper Crafting with YamStamps Facebook Group. Of course, I’ll also continue to post here on the YamStamps blog. In the meantime, hope you liked theJust For You Card– and I’ll be getting prepped to share all the new product coming your way on Wednesday!
I know, I’ve already whined about this set retiring, but I am revisiting Paris yet again with this card. I’m also revisiting a technique that I haven’t used in a while – forgot how fun and easy it is!!
So, yes, once again I used the Parisian Beauty stamp set, while I still can. I have until June 2nd to create and share projects with you with this retiring set LOL. I used the faux silk technique, which I haven’t done in a while! A group of my crafty friends had a “virtual retreat” over the weekend and one of the challenges was to create a happy mail card. Something that featured either the saying “Happy Mail” or featured something postal themed. Et voila! the Parisian Beauty set has a cancellation/post mark stamp so I was able to bring it out.
I am not the greatest at collage-type stamping, but faux silk is quite forgiving. I love the vintage feel to this card! I used some off white tissue paper, and stamped the images randomly on it. Crumple up the tissue paper, uncrumple and then adhere onto cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped the tissue around the back of the cardstock and stuck the ends down to keep the front neat, then adhered that whole piece onto some Merry Merlot Cardstock. I used some of the Braided Burlap Trim and cut out the sentiment with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Had to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment/backing to the card because the Burlap Trim is thick.
So there you go – revisiting Paris and revisiting a technique! As much as I love the Parisian Beauty set, there are lots of great things coming in the new catalogue! I’m in the process of getting the catalogues out to those who requested them or purchased from me in the past year….and I’ll be in touch to check that they arrive! In the meantime, join me for a Launch Party for the new catalogue on Facebook! You can request membership to the New Catalogue Kick Off group here. I’ll share some different projects and products, and will go live for a short while on Wednesday June 3 at 7pm, but you can join before that date! See you there for the fun.
I _just_ got my copy in the mail! The new catalogue is coming and if you want a copy, I’d be happy to give you one – providing that you are in Canada (due to Stampin’ Up! regulations) and don’t already have a demonstrator (due to Canadian politeness, not intending to solicit customers from other demos). Fill out this form and I will be in touch!!
When you’re just getting started in the morning but you still take a selfie because you’ve finally got your new catalogue!
This quick card for a friend is a great way to show that you’re thinking of someone – and you’ll spend more time writing a note inside than you will creating it!
From the series of cards created using the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper – this is a “take” on the card I shared previously. This is the same sized piece of Designer Series Paper, but cut into two pieces (roughly 2/3 vs 1/3). I simply flipped the one smaller piece of paper to show the design on the other side! I love how it shows off the versatility of these two sided papers and the patterns and colours that coordinate.
If you’re looking for other quick and easy ideas, I’m getting set to launch an Online Class that will help you to use what you’ve got. I’ll also offer a class by mail option, so you can get the card kits in the mail, and then follow along with the online portion when you’ve got the time set aside. Be sure to subscribe to my mailing list so you don’t miss out on the details. There will be other easy but impressive projects like this quick card for a friend in the class, so you’ll have lots of opportunity to spread sunshine to your friends and family!
