This card features a stamp set that you’ll be able to purchase with Stampin’ Rewards in the new catalogue as of June 4th – hence the Make This Year Rewarding title of the post!
The images are from the set Soft Spring, a stamp set that can only be purchased using Stampin’ Rewards dollars. Stampin’ Rewards are percentage back dollars that you can spend on Stampin’ Up! merchandise when you host a workshop or have an individual order that is $200 CAD or more. The “hello” is from another new stamp set, To A Wild Rose, which is part of the general catalogue product, so can be selected as part of a regular order, or could also be purchased with Stampin’ Rewards.
If you’re interested in how to make this year rewarding, there’s a few ways to earn Stampin’ Rewards!
Host a private card making class with friends and family. Contact me to book a date and to check out the options – there’s a 4 card class or a 2 card class, depending on your timeframe and comfort with paper crafting! You can earn rewards based on the total value of product ordered at your class.
If you’re local to Burlington ON, join the Stampers Club! Club members have their own class on the third Monday of each month, either in the afternoon or evening. Rather than pay a class fee, each member places a $33 minimum order at the class, and once during their 6 month commitment, they receive Stampin’ Rewards to spend as well! Contact me to start at any time.
Become an “Eh” Team member. Sign up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and earn your own rewards! Demonstrators get the opportunity to preorder new product – which is how I was able to get the Soft Spring set ahead of time! Get more information here
Of course, making this year rewarding isn’t just about Stampin’ Rewards – attending a Monthly Card Making Class is a rewarding way to expand your crafting skills and card stash! Better yet, you can decide month to month if you’re able to attend – simply register at least 2 days in advance. Monthly Card Class is typically the first Wednesday of the month – HOWEVER, June’s Card Class is the SECOND Wednesday of the month due to my scheduling issues…(more on that later). So mark Wednesday, June 12th in your calendar! RSVP for the 1pm or 7pm class. Don’t forget to check the YamStamps Events page for upcoming dates.
Back to the card – what do you think of the layout? I tend to be very symmetrical at times with my designs, so when I was positioning the Stitched Rectangles on the cardfront, I thought I’d try putting them offcentre as a different design. Though now that I look at this picture….I’d probably drop the main image rectangle down a little bit…you know, to make that right upper corner more symmetrical with the other layer! LOL. The Stamparatus made this card a breeze – and can you pick out the new In Colour on the card? The dragonflies are stamped in Pretty Peacock! I think it’s my favourite new colour…so far…

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need assistance placing your order, or bring your order along with you when you come to my New Catalogue Open House & Retired Product Sale on Saturday June 22!
Sales prices start today at 2pm Eastern and continue until June 3 or while supplies last. Your best bet is to place your order at yamstamps.com/shop so that you don’t miss out!
OK I know, it’s not even officially summer yet…but I’m just thinking of you… If you want to keep your summer crafting interesting, or want to fight summer boredom (either your own or *ahem* people who live under the same roof who might be done school for the year)…consider grabbing a Paper Pumpkin subscription!
Paper Pumpkin is a monthly crafting subscription kit from Stampin’ Up! It’s a great way to fight summer boredom…or boredom at any time of year – plus it’s perfectly portable so you can grab and go! Craft while sitting at sports practice (well, not your own, obviously), at the cottage, on an overcast camping day…
Each month, subscribers receive a box with supplies, stamps and ink to complete that month’s unique projects – cards, home decor, packaging…it’s always a bit of a surprise! June’s kit will be beach themed and will also have a card carrying case that you can use to gift the cards to someone…or keep for yourself after you’ve given away all the cards!
I am having a moment….(well, this is not a new thing really). I like to think that I’m organized, and I know that in certain situations I actually am….but that is not always the case!
My life:
Anyone else relate? And as a side note, the stock photos for “messy planner” are laughably NOT messy. (That being said, these ARE stock photos that I found…).
All this to say – HEY I updated the YamStamps Events page and corrected the date for the New Catalogue Open House & Retired Product Sale – oops! It is Saturday June 22nd from 9 am til 11 am. Hopefully you can make it! Please RSVP for directions and to reserve a copy of the catalogue!
We are into thefinal week for the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue before we say goodbye and move on to the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue – be sure to place your final order well before June 3rd at yamstamps.com/shopto ensure availability of product (and avoid the last minute log jam on the site!). The new catalogue items will be available to order June 4th around 2pm Eastern. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
