Sep 1, 2015 | Announcements, Christmas, Seasonal Catalogue, specials, Stampin' Up!

Yes! The Stampin’ Up! Canada Holiday Catalogue is now live! This is one of my favourite items from the new catalogue – aren’t the ornaments so gorgeous? When you cut from the foil papers it’s so impressive. (We are using this thinlit set in tomorrow’s Monthly Card Class…still seats available if you want to register!) So many exciting things in the Stampin’ Up / YamStamps world this week, and especially today! Holiday Catalogue is live, registration deadline for the Tin of Cards Class and impending deadline for September’s Christmas Card Class, Weekly Deals PLUS the September newsletter goes out today.

Click on the catalogue image to download a digital copy. If you still need a hard copy of the catalogue and live in Canada, please fill out this form and I will see about getting one to you ASAP.
Here are the Weekly Deals – remember that the number of specially priced items is limited, and once that number is gone, the product reverts to regular pricing. 
I think my faves this week are the washi tape (you can never go wrong with basic black & white!) and the stamp set. It can be hard to find good “boy” themed images!
Last but not least, the YamStamps September newsletter goes out today around 1pm Eastern. Please subscribe by using the sign up box at the top of the blog, or go here to find out more about the newsletter. *phew*

Please go here for a brief summary if you’re not able to join me in person June 10th and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

These are some ideas of what you can create with the Stampin’ Up! set Sprinkles of Life. I love when things coordinate and I don’t have to think, and this set coordinates with the new Tree Builder Punch, which of course means easy “cut outs” without having to pull out the Paper Snips! The other great thing about this stamp set? A portion of sales goes to Ronald McDonald House Charities. So you can be creative, have fun, and help raise funds for a great charity. This is one of the sets I was able to preorder from the new catalogue, but (insert sad face here) I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it yet!! I’m currently busy getting things ready for my YamStamps New Catalogue Open House and Retired Rubber Garage Sale Saturday morning…and I’ve tried to be extra ruthless in the culling of stamp sets this year (I admit, there are sets I was kind of hanging on to…). Operation Organization is an ongoing thing at my place, and I’ve realized that the first step to my Stamp Room being more organized is to get rid of stuff!!! So I’m looking to people Saturday to help me out! No pressure or anything….
Please don’t forget to RSVP so I can be sure to hold a copy of the new catalogue for you on Saturday, or fill out the form so I can get one in the mail to you. Hope to see you soon!!
