Have you wondered about Stampers Club? Curious about the great projects we make and the fun we have….but afraid to commit to a whole SIX months?? Well – here’s your chance! For this summer only, you have the opportunity to try out Stampers Club – commitment free! Well, okay, there are a few things you need to commit to, but only once…or twice if you choose. For July and August, there are limited spaces for Stampers Club Without Commitment. Register in advance to attend July and/or August Stampers Club to make four cards (all supplies included) and agree to purchase $33 worth of Stampin’ Up! merchandise at that club meeting. That’s it. Give it a try to see what it’s all about! If you like it – you may want to consider becoming part of the club to get your turn at receiving the Hostess Benefits (read: free merchandise of your choice) once during your six month stay in club – but no pressure to do so. Remember, this is Club Without Commitment 😉 Please note, though, that there are limited spaces for this limited time offer. See the YamStamps Events page for dates; Club is currently the third Monday of each month in Burlington ON. Please contact me to register or if you need more information.

Carpe Cake! (sorry to all those Latin scholars out there, because I’m pretty sure that’s not quite correct…). Anyway – a fun card using a combination of sets. The cake image is from Sketched Birthday, and while there are some good sentiments in that set, I was taken by the “Seize the Cake”from the Something to Say set and thought the two went together quite well. The Designer Series Paper Lullaby forms the background. I love that the DSP could be used for baby pages or projects, but doesn’t tie you to that theme. Of course, the easiest way to figure out a colour scheme for a project is to take it from the DSP used – so in this case, there’s some Coastal Cabana cardstock and thick Baker’s twine, and I used a blender pen to colour the image with Coastal Cabana, Hello Honey and Baked Brown Sugar. A fun birthday card for a guy or a girl 🙂
If you need to build up your card stash, don’t forget that I have monthly card classes and a monthly Stampers Club where you get to use all sorts of Stampin’ Up! product and techniques to create 4 different cards. Check out my Events page or contact me for more details!

Have you tried any of Stampin’ Up!’s photopolymer stamps yet? I _love_ them!! So easy to use, super sticky (but removable too LOL)… The latest offering, Calling All Heroes, is so much fun – could be good for that superhero called Dad?
Fantastic for kids and that retro feel – I am reminded of watching Batman reruns on TV after school….”BAM” “POW”! Here’s the flyer for the set If you love this – you’ll want to get it sooner rather than later – the last few photopolymer offerings have sold out!! Contact me if you have any questions or need help placing your order. (If you’re in the Burlington area, I’ll have an order going in after the weekend, so you can add yours to that – just contact me!).

Here’s the Weekly Deals – I think my favourite item is the Argyle Textured Embossing Folder – a classic way to give texture to your card – and great for more masculine cards. As always – please feel free to contact me if you need help placing your order or have questions, or go here to place your order online!

I think this could be a great Father’s Day card! The Silver Foil Cardstock was embossed with the Argyle Embossing Folder – I think it kind of looks like the detailing on some of the running boards on trucks. (I’m sure there’s probably a “proper” name for that, but I am obviously not so savvy). Anyway – between that and the colours (Smoky Slate and Basic Black) – this card has that masculine feel to it. The main image is from Chalk Talk, and the Tag Topper Scalloped Punch adds a fun detail as well.
I’ll keep this short but sweet, since I’m preparing to head out to the Holy Rosary School Fun Fair later today here in Burlington – if you can stop by, come say “hi” at my table – check out the kits and cards I’ll have for sale, and try your hand at an easy project. Once I’m done there, I’ll be preparing for Saturday’s New Catalogue Open House and Rubber Garage Sale! Clearing out my retired crafting supplies to make room for the new (and to decrease the number of boxes I’ll be carting once I move in the very near future!). RSVP to make sure I have a copy of the catalogue set aside for you, and to get directions! See you soon!!

Here’s a sample of a masculine birthday card. I always make a point to include one masculine card in almost every class because often my customers will say that’s where they get stumped or find they don’t have a suitable stash. Epic Day Designer Series Paper (get it before it disappears forever) adds colour and pattern to this card that also uses the Chevron border punch and Blue Ribbon set. Like the points on the DSP and ribbon? Check out this past Tuesday Tip video on how to get flawless notched ends in your ribbon or DSP. You can always subscribe to the YamStamps Youtube channel so you won’t miss out on future videos. Happy Stamping!

Happy Tuesday! Hope my American friends had a good Memorial Day weekend. I spent it traveling home from Chicago…more on that at another point. In the meantime, here’s what you’ve been looking for – Stampin’ Up!’s Weekly Deals! My fave…well, you can never go wrong with a heart punch in my opinion, but the Typeset Bigz alpha is a great deal…and I don’t have the digital download yet! Happy Shopping – please contact me if you need assistance with placing an order.
