On my way to CHCH studios for today's appearance on Morning Live. I so enjoy being asked back to the show – today I'm sharing handmade cards and gifts for loved ones for Valentine's Day (or any other day!). I hope to get video that I can share here later. In the meantime, I'll be sure to post photos of the projects in my next few updates so please come back to get a better look at everything! Also a reminder that my February newsletter will be out on Tuesday, February 5th, and the third week of Sale-a-Bration projects newsletter will be out on Wednesday, February 6th. If you are subscribed to my emails, you will automatically receive these. If you aren't – please sign up before then so you don't miss out!!

Woohoo! I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my online class service. This is something that has been in the planning and prep stages for a while, and here it is! If you've ever wanted to attend one of my classes but the time didn't work, or you're not local to me, this is the option for you! Each online class that I offer will feature exclusive projects that you won't see anywhere else. Included in your $20 (Canadian) class fee – LIFETIME access to the videos, photos and information to that class – you will be able to go back over the information as many times as you want/need. As the tagline says – Paper Crafting Classes Wherever You Are, Whenever You Have the Time. Since the classes are online, you won't receive any materials to create the cards themselves, but there is a complete supply list for each project. If you're in Canada, I'd be happy to help you out there with my online Stampin' Up! store, but if you're accessing the class from anywhere else in the world, you can contact me to see about getting in touch with a demonstrator in your country.
The main class information page is here: www.yamstampsmore.com
The first class I have up is "Monochromatic is Marvelous" where you'll find four projects complete with supply list and videos showing how to create each project. The specific class information page is www.monochromatic.yamstampsmore.com
Jan 23, 2013 | Announcements, Big Shot, cards, rubber stamping, Sale-A-Bration
This is a fun card within a card that we did at Stampers Club the other evening that features some of the yummy new Sale-a-Bration free product.
The background is Rich Razzleberry cardstock embossed with the Tulip Frame Folder in the Big Shot.
We created our own mini envelope with the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (SAB) and the Diagonal Scoring Plate (SAB) in the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. It perfectly fits the 3" x 3" card with the birthday image from Patterned Occasions (SAB) and I chose to top the candle with a rhinestone. The mini card could be used on its own, or as in the example above, adhered to a card-sized piece of cardstock.
If you would like to see more examples using Sale-a-Bration product, please sign up for my newsletters! (click on the link or visit www.yamstamps.com if you're reading this in a reader or on the yamstamps app and sign up there!) The first Sale-a-Bration project newesletter will be going out TODAY, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23rd at 1pm Eastern Time so please sign up before then to ensure you get all of the Sale-a-Bration project emails! Much like my 12 Weeks of Christmas mailings featured Christmas projects, the Sale-a-Bration emails will feature Sale-a-Bration projects! Of course, I'll also have more ideas here, but the Sale-A-Bration email projects will be exclusive to my subscribers. Don't miss out!!
