My favourite thing about autumn is the changing colours, though around here, the trees are starting to get bare – lots of colourful leaves on the ground! I love Stampin’ Up!’s Sheltering Tree stamp set, and here it’s combined with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It uses the same technique that we did on CHCH Morning Live a little while ago – ink the leaves in Hello Honey, and then use a sponge dauber to randomly apply a second colour – in this case, Tangerine Tango. This is a great card that can be used for any occasion.
If you’re looking for card ideas, and holiday cards in particular, I’ve teamed with a friend for my latest online class offering. Holiday Cards are the focus – and each class features a different holiday stamp set. You can purchase an individual class for $10 CAD or get all four for $30. See more information here. You’ll be able to access the class materials instantly! If you prefer the “hands on” type of learning, don’t forget the upcoming Christmas Card Class November 19th, or the Stamp a Stack on November 28th. (more information and registration here) See? No excuses not to have at least a few handmade cards for those special people on your list!
So there’s 15% off stamp sets PLUS another batch of Weekly Deals!
How fantastic is that? This week, my fave is the File Tabs Edgelits. I have a weird weakness for office supplies; perhaps it’s because I’m always trying to get organized…. A close second is the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum – it would be so great to add a special touch to holiday cards!
Did you know that you can include Weekly Deals and specials in your starter kit choices? If you choose to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator right now, you can pick $155 worth of merchandise (as always) but you’ll get even more value if you pick any stamp set (which is an additional 15% off) or anything from the Weekly Deals! Something to think about?! If you want more information about becoming a member of my group of demonstrators, check out this info page.

PS if you need a refresher on online shopping, watch this video below:
Stampin’ Up!’s Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies make a fun combination with the Happy Scenes set (discounted in a bundle!) – and you can match the scene to the season! This scene was coloured with Stampin’ Write markers and a wash with the aquapainters in the sky & ground, but I was a little too delicate with my background colouring so it’s a bit washed out here, but the leaves (and wind!) match the scene outside my window today. (oh, and Room With a View is one of my favourite films ever, so I love that I can use that in a blog post title!)
A heads up that if you have a lot of stamp sets on your wish list, you will want to have your list ready for MONDAY….because we just found out that Stampin’ Up! is going to be having a limited time discount on stamps! More details here on Monday as soon as I get the details. Great news for Stampers Club members as we get together on Monday so extra bang for the buck! In the meantime, check your wish list and GO JAYS GO!!!
Now is a great time to try Paper Pumpkin! If you sign up by October 10th, you’ll get the October paper crafting kit (which comes in a special pink box!) PLUS Stampin’ Up! will make a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. If you sign up through me, I will make a donation for each of MY Paper Pumpkin subscribers, so you can be responsible for DOUBLE the donation dollars.
I signed up for Paper Pumpkin after I realized I also subscribed to a similar thing for makeup (Ipsy), which I started just as a fun treat for myself. Then I realized, DUH….why wouldn’t I do the same thing for my crafting? Each month I get an exclusive photopolymer stamp set plus all the supplies to make a fun project – often it’s cards, but can also be packaging and gift items. It’s a perfect size to take with me when I travel or go to a crafting event/crop.
Happy World Cardmaking Day! I’m happy to announce that Merry & Bright Online Card Class is now available! This class features four holiday cards that use the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper and White Perfect Accents on each card, with a variety of stamps and inks to make each project unique. This is the online version of the Merry & Bright Class that was held in August in Burlington – so if you weren’t able to attend in person, you can see it online! You’ll get a list of supplies, written instructions and a total of four videos showing the creation of each card. As with all my online classes, you will have lifetime access to the materials once you’ve purchased it. Read more about the class here.
As an added bonus – I will draw one name from everyone who purchases the class by Tuesday, October 6th and you will win access to the Holiday Punch Art Class!
