Jul 5, 2016 | Announcements, cards, specials, Stampin' Up!
If you placed an order with me in May, consider this your virtual thank you card? These are the cards that were set to be mailed out…and then I got delayed….and then I didn’t mail them because I had heard there might be Canada Post job action starting yesterday….which now sounds like it will happen at the end of the week. So if I had sent them when I first finished everything up we would have been fine. ANYWAY. They are in a little pile here and will be sent promptly once we know what is going on with the postal situation. The cards were inspired by Ilina Crouse who shared this design in a demonstrator group. It uses the Swirly Bird stamp set (and not a bird to be seen on the card LOL) Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies (the set and dies are available as a discounted bundle) and the sentiment is from Watercolour Wings. I used three of the 2016-2018 In Colours – Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.
So…consider yourself thanked. I’ll be working on my June thank you cards in the meantime and adding them to the pile! Lots of happy mail to come.
Meanwhile, this month, there’s a new special from Stampin’ Up! Until the end of the month, for each $60 in product order (placed at one time), you’ll receive a code that is worth $6 off an order in August! You can take advantage of this by placing an order through my online store or through me via email, phone or in person at an event. I’ll make sure that I have your best email address on your file and you’ll get your code that way. (if you place your order online, it’s part of the process of creating your account). AND if you attended my Open House in June, don’t forget that you have a coupon to spend during JULY through me (contact me directly to redeem) – so even more ways to save! If you have any questions, please be sure to contact me! Otherwise, Happy Shopping!!
Jun 27, 2016 | cards, Manic Monday, specials, Stampin' Up!
I love this simple but effective design! I apologize to purists though, I had to drop the “Y” from the “ROYGBV” format because I didn’t quite have enough room….and yes, I did do some reinking of my ink pads after I did this card and realized that a few of the colours were a little faded – though it helps to show off the punched butterflies a bit more, right? I used the colours Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Night of Navy and Perfect Plum. The “splat” is from Gorgeous Grunge (available in wood mount or clear mount), and the butterflies are punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is that you don’t have to worry if the cardstock and ink will match. If products have the same name, they will coordinate! (no more searching for a red ribbon or ink that’s a little more blue based than orange based so it matches the cardstock you have….you know what I mean!). A little rhinestone bling helps the butterflies stand out a bit more. Easy, quick and effective – a perfect card to make on a Manic Monday!
I copied the design from one of the cards that Shannon West received for her birthday (sorry, cardmaker unknown). The #imbringingbirthdaysback handmade / mailed card movement has been embraced by cardmakers and Stampin’ Up! lovers! This is a great design that could be used for all sorts of occasions – like Thank You Teacher?!
Don’t forget that you only have 3 days left to take advantage of the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit special – get an extra two stamp sets of your choice (above the $165 worth of product you can choose for $135) until June 30! Don’t wait until the evening of June 30….because you don’t have to be a psychic to know that the system is going to get bogged down with everyone rushing to beat the deadline! You can find more information here, or contact me for more information!

Stampin’ Up! is changing things up! This is the last set of Weekly Deals that we will see (but we get extra time to take advantage of them!). After this, we will see less frequent but still fantastic Special Offers every few months. You can be sure that I will be updating you here on the YamStamps blog when those specials come around! In the meantime, please click on the image or click HERE to shop in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. If you’re going to the Kitchener Scrapfest, look for me in my booth (# 130) and you can place an order with me then….and enter my draw for a Big Shot!
My favourite pick this week was actually easy…because the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies are on this list! These are fantastic, beautiful detailed dies. I do recommend that you get the Big Shot Die Brush to use with this to make removal much easier.
If you have any questions, or need assistance placing your order, please don’t hesistate to contact me! Happy Shopping!
Mar 29, 2016 | Announcements, specials, Stampin' Up!
I love the latest group of Stampin’ Up! Canada Weekly Deals! Lots of items to make your paper crafting easier and more impressive! Three different dies for your Big Shot, the Gift Box Punch Board and some Metal Rimmed Pearls to fancy them up! I think my favourite pick this week might be the Hamburger Box Bigz Die – because it’s a deal…and because it could make some cute favour boxes for a party or a wedding?! Don’t forget also that this is the last Weekly Deal that falls during Sale-a-Bration, so with each $60 in merchandise that you order, you can receive a free Sale-a-Bration item – but only until the end of March. Please don’t leave it until March 31st at 10:30 pm…because if past years hold true, the system will be overloaded with “Last Minute Lucy’s” trying to get their orders in before the end of Sale-a-Bration! (This includes the Starter Kit….) You can shop online by clicking on the image or clicking this link, or by contacting me if you need assistance or have any questions. Happy Shopping!
