Oct 1, 2016 | cards, specials, Stampin' Up!, Tutorial

To celebrate the art and craft of handmade cards, Stampin’ Up! Canada is offering up some deals! The In Colour cardstocks and papers, Envelope Punch Board, Designer Tin of Cards kit and Fast Fuse adhesive are all discounted until October 5th.
In addition, there is a Designer Series Paper promotion until the end of the month!

Pretty self explanatory, right? This special does NOT include Specialty Designer Series Paper or stacks, but everything else is fair game. This cannot be included in a Starter Kit selection. Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance placing an order. I will be sure to feature some projects and ways to use the Designer Series Paper in your crafting in the next few weeks.
Last but not least….

Here’s a downloadable card making tutorial for the Embellished Ornament Card above as a thank you for visiting. Happy Cardmaking Day!

This card uses the Thoughtful Branches bundle – which has the Thoughtful Branches photopolymer stamp set and the Beautiful Branches thinlits dies. YamStamps Newsletter Subscribers will have seen some different samples with this bundle in the August newsletter. (If you’re not already subscribed, if you subscribe now, you’ll get a copy of the latest newsletter plus a free video tutorial!). I love the coordination of the stamp set and dies, because I often don’t have the time or patience to fussy cut detailed images. For this card, I did cut the hills by hand (*gasp*). The sentiment is on a framelit from the Tags & Labels framelits die set. I usually find it easiest (and safest?) to put the sentiment on a tag or label and add it to the card front to be sure that it is exactly where I want it (and straight as well!). You also have the flexibility to leave the tag off until you know what sentiment you need for that particular card – making your card stash (and dollar) stretch even further.
Don’t forget that if you purchase the bundle through me, you’ll get a free set of instructions to create 5 different projects! If you want to make it even easier on yourself, purchase a complete kit for $95 and you’ll get precut supplies to create those projects – you supply the ink and adhesive and you’re ready to go. Contact me for more information! Grab the bundle before it goes away – and you know you’ll want something to do once the Olympics are over!!!
