Here are this week’s specially priced items from Stampin’ Up! Canada. I’m excited to see the Party Punch Pack from the Occasions Catalogue is included in this set of deals! It’s also available as part of a bundle, but if you just wanted the cute punches on their own, this is a great way to pick them up. Happy shopping! (I’m off to shovel my way out…)
It’s me…. (sorry, couldn’t resist). I was singing Adele’s song to myself the whole time I was creating this card. Thought I’d share that earworm with you! In any case, I do love this Hello stamp set from Stampin’ Up! which is shown on page 19 of the Sale-a-Bration catalogue. It’s one of the limited time offerings. Sale-a-Bration runs until the end of March, but there’s a certain number of items only available until February 15 (that means less than a month to get your hands on this!). I paired it with the English Garden Designer Series Paper (love the hand painted look). The sentiment is cut out with one of the framelits from the Project Life Cards and Labels framelits set. This is one of the most used of my framelits because it’s a perfect size for some of the larger or longer sentiments. I also tend to have more success die cutting a sentiment and adding it, rather than stamping directly onto the cardfront – this is one way that I can ensure that the sentiment is totally straight and exactly where I want it to be.
Stampers Club members are making this card today during club. If you’re interested in joining club or want more information, see the YamStamps events page, or contact me for more information.
Here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada. As usual, I find it difficult to pick out my faves. I do like the Something to Say stamp set because I always find having a variety of sentiments means I can customize a card to the occasion. This particular set has pairs of sentiments that go together – so you can have one on the outside of a card and one on the inside. My second favourite this week, considering we’re almost half way through January (eek!) is the hearts border punch because it’s a great accent for Valentine’s Day cards.
A reminder that there are four days until the registration cut off for the Birthday Bash Classes – your fee will include the Perpetual Calendar kit and the Birthday Wishes set and punches. You’ll take all of these items home along with the completed projects. I will supply the inks and stamps and whatever else is needed to complete all the projects while you are at the class (the stamps are not included in the Calendar kit). Here’s a peek at one of the calendar pages that I’ve finished. For the calendar class, you can copy my pages, or just use them as inspiration and use the stamps and ink and included supplies to create your own versions. I know for me, it’s always nice to have a visual jumping off point for projects. If you attend both classes, it’s more economical, plus you’ll get a free Sale-a-Bration item! See the YamStamps Events page for more information, options, and to register! As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, or leave a comment below.
The new Stampin’ Up! “Going Places” suite is a great set of global/travel/masculine products. This is a sample we made months ago at Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage Event (and I’ve been waiting to share it since then! LOL). We inked the inside of the World Traveler Embossing folder for the background, and stamped the globe image from the Going Global set onto some of the Going Places Designer Series Paper. More strips of the DSP in the background along with the constellation stamp add layers of interest. This could be a great non-traditional Valentine’s Day card or an any occasion card for someone special.
A reminder that the registration deadline is approaching for the Birthday Bash Classes! I shared some sneak peeks on the YamStamps Instagram account earlier in the week…and I’m still thinking of alternative options that I can offer in the online version! See the YamStamps Events page for details and registration links. If you purchase the full bundle, you’ll also qualify for Sale-a-Bration rewards, so what are you waiting for?! Hope to see you in class soon!

Here it is, the last set of Stampin’ Up! Canada Weekly Deals for 2015! Hard to believe we’re at the end of the year already… My favourite this week is is the stamp set – it’s a versatile birthday set, good for males or females, and who doesn’t need a birthday card or two on hand? You can grab any of these deals or the Year End Sale items that are still available through the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada Store.
Also…if you’re on the YamStamps mailing list, be sure to check your inbox in a little bit as I’m sending out a special email shortly that is time sensitive.
And to tie things all together, speaking of birthdays and time sensitive…I’ve planned a big Birthday Bash Class session for Saturday, January 30th. You can see more details on the YamStamps Events Page, but basically there are two classes that day, and both include a product kit. The first is a Birthday Calendar class, and the second is a Birthday Card Class! You must register (and pay) in advance since I have to order the product in time for it to arrive – and the bonus? If you attend both classes, you’ll also get a free Sale-a-Bration item! See the events page or contact me if you have any questions.
I know you might be a little distracted by preparations for Christmas….but there are still weekly deals to be had! Here’s the latest group from Stampin’ Up! Canada to add to your stocking…well, okay, they won’t arrive quite in time to be in your stocking, but you know what I mean…. Click on the image or click on the link to see the items in the online store.
Don’t forget that YamStamps Gift Certificates are the perfect last minute gift idea – they’re available in whatever amount you need and can be delivered by email. Contact me to get one!
In the meantime – happy shopping!
We got snow! Here in Ontario, we’ve been having unseasonably warm weather – while my friends in BC were watching the snow falling on the lower mainland….but we did get some big fat flakes falling today (though apparently it’s supposed to warm up again…who knows…)
Anyway – I don’t think that I shared this earlier….though I have been sharing some recent works of art from some friends on my Instagram account, I realize I’ve been a bit of a slacker here. Apologies! This is a card inspired by one I received from one of my demonstrator team members, Leanne. This dove is gorgeous when embossed, and I love deep colours for the background, so in this case it’s Blackberry Bliss. I also had fun with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder on the Gold Foil Cardstock – it’s such a great look – I ended up using it for a lot of the cards that I managed to get sent out! 
The sentiment is embossed in gold and is from the Your Presents stamp set. An extra touch with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch to make it even more fancy and it’s ready to go.
If you are getting down to the wire with your shopping (like me….) gift certificates are always a great option! YamStamps Gift Certificates are available in any denomination, can be used towards product purchases (in Canada) or class fees (Canada or world wide for online classes), and can be delivered electronically! Please contact me to arrange one for that special crafter in your life.
Weekly Deals are here – and don’t forget that the Year End Sale is still in effect! My fave this week: the Pretty Petals Designer Series Stack. Please note that the Sleigh Ride Edgelits are no longer available, and the Woodlands Embossing Folder will not be available until the next annual catalogue.
If you’re looking for Christmas gifts, you can always choose expedited shipping, or the guaranteed delivery route of a YamStamps gift certificate! The gift certificates are available in any amount, and are good for purchasing product or paying class fees. Contact me to purchase one.
Happy Shopping!
