Drop the Hint – so they don’t drop the ball! Mother’s Day is this Sunday (in North America) – and if your family needs a little reminder….let them know they can purchase YamStamps Gift Certificates! They can pay online and have a gift certificate emailed to them. They can print it out (or download and re-email it?!) so that Mom can receive it on May 10th.
Gift Certificates are available in any amount, Canadian dollars, redeemable ONLY through Linda Yamamoto. May be redeemed for Stampin’ Up! product ONLY if redeemed by a Canadian resident, due to Stampin’ Up! regulations. For more information, if you have questions, or are ready to purchase, contact me to make arrangements!
I was overdue in sending out some customer thank you cards – so I’m sharing sunshine with Stampin’ Up!’s new digital download fundraiser – the Share Sunshine pdf!
These days, my creative mojo is actually starting to come back a bit – in the early days of all this COVID-19 craziness, I found at times all I could do was plod along doing my job and keeping the house from falling down, so I didn’t really have the creative juice to make much. These days, I’m adjusting to our new temporary normal I guess, and my energy and creative flow are returning.
Anyway – I was overdue in sending out some thank you cards, so I whipped a bunch up, using some Designer Series Paper and the Share Sunshine pdf. I printed out the pdf (well, selected pages) onto Whisper White cardstock. I have a colour laser printer so I was able to print out in colour as well. I cut up the sheets, using my Paper Trimmer and whatever dies fit the sentiments, added some coordinating cardstock as mats and was done. The picture shows just a few of the variations. I was able to mix and match the coloured sentiments with papers that coordinated, and added a bit of silver metallic thread as an extra touch. I think most of the cards in this picture use the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.
Extra tip for crafting in the time of COVID-19 – seal your envelopes using your Aquapainters! I tend to do this anyway, especially when I’m crafting/mailing in bulk. The current style of Aquapainters is on the retiring list but there will be a similar but different option in the new catalogue.
Try not to be horrified by the state of my working spot LOL. If you can’t tell, I reuse grid paper as long as possible! It gets used first for in person classes (not right at this moment, obviously), and then once it’s too inky, if it’s not covered in adhesive, it moves to my craft area where I use it until it gets crumpled, covered in adhesive or whatever… (oh and the aquapainter tip is a little stained. What can I say? I use my crafting tools!)
Anyway – I’m looking forward to sharing sunshine with others – I’ve got cards going out to members of my demonstrator group and those who have purchased with me in the first part of this year. Sending happy mail is a great way to let others know you are thinking of them, even if you can’t be with them in person. If you want happy mail in the form of the new Stampin’ Up! Canada catalogue (goes live in June) – be sure to fill out this form! (FIne print – must be a resident of Canada and not have a demonstrator that you work with already)
Stampin’ Up! just released a digital download called Share Sunshine – and 100% of proceeds go to two charities – the World Health Organization and the United Way.
This pdf is full of sentiment and images that are perfect for crafting in the time of corona. I’ve already downloaded my set and can’t wait to get crafting with it later today. At this point in time, the download will be available until June 2, 2020.
This is a non-commissionable item – meaning neither demonstrators nor the company will receive funds for sales – literally all of the money will go towards the charities! Crafting for a good cause!
