I used the dies to cut the Cotton Paper (which is almost like a tissue paper feel) and a scrap of Gold Foil. I love the gold metallic accent on the Specialty Designer Series Paper, so this coordinated well with the Gold Foil backing tag. I added some of the Garden Gems to the tag as well for an easy, elegant card. The Cotton Paper is really pliable, so I just folded the ends behind the DSP and held them in place with tape for an quick addition to the card.
If you’re on my mailing list, you’ll know that we are wrapping up the Twelve Weeks of Christmas mailings this week (um….what?!). I think I may post a bonus project next week, though. In the meantime, I need to try and get MY holiday cards mailed out, or at least get my tree decorated, right? Perhaps I will just send a number of hello there cards instead. How many cards are you sending (okay, have you “sent”, because you’re probably ahead of me) this year?

Selected Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers are on sale for 15% off until August 2nd! These two sided patterned papers make your paper crafting so much easier – with coordinating patterns and colours. The colours used are listed on the backing cardstock sheet so it’s easy to pick out the colours to use in your projects.
OK I’m pretty sure that’s not the correct term for a group of butterflies, but March 2 brings the Butterfly Bouquet promotion to the Stampin’ Up! world. From now until May 3, you can order the Butterfly Brilliance bundle and some exclusive special papers too.
I’m not sure if you can see in this image – but the butterflies are actually all on one stamp – and the large die is all one piece -so you will be stamping all the images at the same time, plus die cutting at the same time as well (if you choose to do so). One other neat thing that was shared with us is that there is one design in the Butterfly Bijou papers that matches up with the dies as well. Demonstrators have had the chance to order the items in this promotion since February, and what another demonstrator shared is that they actually cut the stamp apart so they have many individual stamps. If you keep the outline rubber (that you punch the stamp out of), you could always use that as a guide if you want to “reassemble” the images into the original shape again. Or you could splurge and treat yourself to a second stamp set and keep one intact and cut up the other one.
Do you remember the Sale-a-Bration set from the past, “Hey Chick!”? It was one of the most popular selections – and Stampin’ Up! has brought it back for a limited time, along with some additions!
Hey Chick – don’t forget – until the end of February, when you place a $60 product order (or multiples thereof…) you can select a Sale-a-Bration product for free! You can shop in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store (shortcut yamstamps.com/shop) 24/7 and have your choices delivered directly to your door – or contact me for assistance placing an order (or if you want to pay by etransfer).
I hope that you had a good weekend! I spent some time crafting, so that always qualifies as a good weekend in my books. Today I’m sharing a Happy Celebration Card – because I really like this So Much Happy bundle…and because it’s going to be on sale tomorrow, Tuesday November 24th as part of the Merry & Bright Online Sale!
The Merry & Bright Online Sale is going to feature select products from the Annual Catalogue at a 10% discount – but only for 24 hours! It starts at 1201 AM and runs until 1159 PM Mountain Time. So if you’re in Ontario like me, it starts at 201AM Eastern Time and runs until 159AM on the 25th, in case you have insomnia and need to online shop in the middle of the night. No August-December catalogue product will be involved in this sale, and this is the list of exceptions from the Annual Catalogue – you can download a pdf or spreadsheet version, or check out the picture below.
So pretty much if it’s in the Annual Catalogue (the big book) and NOT on this list – it’s included! I think the best deals will be any of the stamp and tool bundles (like the So Much Happy Bundle used for the Happy Celebration Card above) – because they’re already discounted, so you’ll earn a discount on the already discounted price!
So start making your list – and be ready to go shopping tomorrow – Tuesday 24 November! Click here to go shopping in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store – shortcut is yamstamps.com/shop. Or – you can email me with your order and I can place it for you – and have it delivered directly to you (Canadian residents only due to Stampin’ Up! regulations). Happy Shopping!
