Did You Miss Class?

Did you miss out on my Scrapbook in a Box Class? Busy that day? Not close to Burlington ON? Good news! I’ve launched the online version of this class!

yamstamps share what you love class projectyamstamps scrapbook in a box open

If you are in Canada, you have the option of purchasing the Class By Mail (which includes access to the online class materials) OR the Online Only version of the Class. If you’re outside of Canada, you can access the Online Version.

You can get all the details here! The Class By Mail will include precut cardstock and Designer Series Paper, plus the doilies. You provide the adhesive and the stamps and ink that you want to use. If you want to purchase materials so that you can recreate the box exactly as per the class sample (well, with your own photos, I hope…), there’s a list of class supplies in the Online Class Group, or you can contact me.

Once you have made one of these, you’ll want to make more! You have lifetime access to class materials, plus there will be online support in the Class Group site. Register here! I’ll be doing a live video for the class before the end of June so if you want to be in on the real time video, you’ll want to be registered for class before then. Of course, there will be lifetime access to the replay of the video as well, plus I’ll be available to answer questions in the group site. Contact me for more information – otherwise, “see” you in class!

Happy New Catalogue Year!

Happy New Catalogue Year! Stampin' Up! Canada 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue

It’s here! The Stampin’ Up! Canada 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue is in effect as of today, June 1st! Happy New Catalogue Year! I’m in the midst of following up with those that should have received a catalogue by mail, and finishing my deliveries to those who are more local to me, if you aren’t able to pick it up on Saturday.

This Saturday, June 2nd is my Annual New Catalogue Open House and Retired Product Sale here in Burlington ON. Please RSVP to ensure I have a copy of the catalogue set aside for you, and that I’ve baked enough cherry pound cake…oh, and to get directions!

You will be able to place orders online as of 2pm Eastern (12 noon Mountain time) (quick link is yamstamps.com/shop ). Please be aware that new colour Stampin’ Blends and the Planner Kit are not yet available to order – likely mid-month (fingers crossed), though existing colour Stampin’ Blends are available to order once again. Somehow I’m sure that between that and all the new product available to order will keep you well stocked for your creative endeavours for the next little while at least!

You can be sure that we will be using some new products in the June Monthly Card Class – Wednesday June 6th at 1pm or 7pm. If you’d like to get in some creative time plus check out some of the new product, be sure to register! Space is limited. Class fee of $20 will cover all supplies required for the four cards we make in class.

Hope to see you very soon! Open House attendees will get the first look at some beautiful samples from the new catalogue – and shop the deals; Monthly Card Class members will get to use some of the new product in class! Please contact me for more information or to register.

Stampin’ Up! Last Chance – 2018 Version!

I spent the past few days in London ON for the Stampin’ Up! “On Stage” event for demonstrators. It was so much fun, a fair bit of work (since I’m on the Events Committee) but so worthwhile! Demonstrators got a peek at the upcoming Annual Catalogue! So exciting…but also a little sad, when we see what products won’t be returning. The retiring list highlights all the Stampin’ Up! Last Chance items – things you will want to order or stock up on before they’re gone!

Here is the downloadable pdf list for Annual Catalogue and Occasions Catalogue products
Here is the sortable spreadsheet for Annual Catalogue and Occasions Catalogue products
Here is the easiest option – the link to the retiring products in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Store yamstamps.com/retiring2018 The online store will be the most up to date place to check what items are still available to order.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

1) Retiring Stamp Sets have guaranteed availability until May 25th, after which time they are while supplies last
2) All other Retiring Product is while supplies last
3) You may notice that ALL ink pads and reinkers are on the retiring list. Stampin’ Up! is revamping the ink pad design as well as the colour offerings to keep the Stampin’ Up! palette current and up to date. This is also why the Stampin’ Write markers are on the list. All the reinkers that are listed are for colours that will NOT be in the upcoming catalogue due to the Colour Revamp.

Colours that are leaving:

  • Always Artichoke
  • Chocolate Chip
  • Elegant Eggplant
  • Island Indigo
  • Marina Mist
  • Perfect Plum
  • Pink Pirouette
  • Rose Red
  • Soft Sky
  • Tangerine Tango
  • Tempting Turquoise
  • Wild Wasabi
  • Wisteria Wonder

2016-2018 In Colours

  • Dapper Denim
  • Emerald Envy
  • Flirty Flamingo*
  • Peekaboo Peach
  • Sweet Sugar Plum

See that asterisk beside Flirty Flamingo? That’s because it will be coming back as part of the core Stampin’ Up! Colour Collection!

Colours being reformulated:
Basic Black
Basic Grey
These colours will return to regular dye based ink pads, rather than the Archival Ink Pads (don’t worry, there will be other Archival ink options available)

AVAILABILITY
For individual colour items – classic ink pads in current design and refills are guaranteed until May 7th, and then available as supplies last

For any colour collections (Brights, Neutrals, Regals, Subtles), all cardstocks, all Stampin’ Write markers, embellishments and the Colour Caddy (ink pad storage) – availability is while supplies last.

If your favourite colour is on the Retiring List, you may want to stock up on supplies. Again, you can head straight to the Retiring Product spot in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada Store by typing in http://yamstamps.com/retiring2018 or access the whole store by simply typing http://yamstamps.com/shop

As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, or need assistance placing your order. I will also post more about On Stage later this week!
