I’m excited to be on Morning Live today (estimated air time 9:45 am) – sharing some cardmaking ideas in honour of World Cardmaking Day (this Saturday). I’m also hoping to boost my donation amount! For each Paper Pumpkin subscriber, Stampin’ Up! is donating to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation – $1 per subscriber, and $2 for each new subscriber by October 10th. I have pledged to match that donation personally for each Paper Pumpkin subscriber who is signed up through me. So please sign up! It’s a fun monthly paper crafting kit, and right now you’ll help raise funds for a worthy cause. Plus it comes in a pink box in October!
I’m sharing this card that I am NOT planning on sharing on TV today, since we know how that goes for me in general….I plan a blog post with a project that I’m intending to show on air, and somehow run out of time or forget to show it during the segment….so I’m not even going to try with this one! This was made with the Stampin’ Up! set You’ve Got This and stamped with the new format Archival Basic Black ink which gives a great, sharp imprint, and withstood watercolouring with an Aquapainter.
Last but not least – be subscribed to the YamStamps list by 1pm Eastern today to get the first week of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas projects! (Yes, it’s true…12 weeks until Christmas…). These projects will not be posted anywhere else – they’re exclusive to my mailing list subscribers and will NOT be resent -so don’t miss out on getting all 12 of these projects! You can sign up by filling in the box at the top right of the blog…or get more information and sign up here. No shortage of options to get on the list!
Here are the latest Weekly Deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada – special prices in a limited quantity for a limited time. I love a lot of things on this list, but I realize that I have a thing for hearts….because my favourite item this week is the Happy Heart Embossing Folder. I know, there’s so many other great things on this list, including the two great punch boards, but maybe it’s something about the pattern repetition, but I do love that folder. OK I also love the border punch, but I’m trying to get better about picking ONE favourite item of the week. Trying.
If you {heart} any of these items, don’t forget to grab them while you can! Shop in the YamStamps online store and have your items delivered directly to you, or if you need help placing your order or have any questions, please contact me. I will be placing an order this weekend, so if you’re in the Burlington area, I can include your items in that order.
I’ve been busy working behind the scenes, shooting & editing video for a Christmas card online class that is slated to go live this Saturday, World Cardmaking Day! If you want to attend a Christmas Card Class in person, don’t forget that October 1 is the registration deadline for the October Christmas Card Class! You will get a package of Seasons of Cheer Designer Series Paper and a package of Rhinestones included in your $30 class fee. We’ll make 4 cards using those supplies with PLENTY left over for you to take home and make more projects! Click here to register or contact me. See the YamStamps Events page for more details and other upcoming events.
Oh – and tune in to CHCH Morning Live around 9:45 tomorrow morning for my appearance celebrating cardmaking!
Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Weekly Deals are full of stars this week! My favourite is the framelits, but a close second is the embossing folder, and the ribbon…and….*sigh* it’s like picking a favourite child. Don’t forget that the items are specially price and in limited quantities, so your best bet is to go online and place your order right away. If you need help placing your order or have any questions, please contact me.
It was a busy week last week – first full week of school and back to routine. After being keen to get things going, I wondered WHY when I fell into bed exhausted at the end of the week! It was a busy week for YamStamps Classes as well – we did a Christmas Card Class, the Tin of Cards Class and yesterday was Stampers Club. Lots of craftiness happening around here – and lots of happy people with projects completed too! If you’re interested in attending the next Christmas Card Class, the registration (and payment) deadline is October 1st and the class will be Thursday, October 15th at 7pm. This time around class attendees will receive a package of Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper and a set of Rhinestones. We will use portions of these supplies to create the 4 holiday cards at class and you’ll take the rest home for your other crafting projects (or to recreate the cards in bulk!). Cost is $30 and includes the product and ALL supplies required to make the projects that evening. Please see the YamStamps events page to register or contact me for more details or alternate payment options. See you soon!

Stampin’ Up! Canada’s Weekly Deals don’t disappoint (well, unless you miss out on them…) – and this week is no exception. I have to admit, it was initially a “no-brainer” to pick out my favourite item this time around – the Butterfly Thinlits Dies! As I kept going through the items, though, I was swayed a bit by the Treat Bag Thinlits, and of course, I’m always a sucker for white ribbon… Anyway. Click on the image or this link to access the items in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. You can contact me if you have any questions, or are willing to wait until the end of the week to be included in an order I’ll be placing at that time (please note, though, I can’t guarantee availability of items at that time, so if you’re really anxious to grab a deal, you’re best to place your order individually online).
In the meantime, I am finalizing preparations for my upcoming classes this week – the September Christmas Card Class (Thursday) and the Tin of Cards Class (Friday). I did end up with a couple of extra Tin of Cards kits, so if you’d like to join us on Friday, contact me ASAP. (Did you see the post I shared on Facebook yesterday during prep for the Christmas Class?? It’s good for a laugh). Don’t forget that I’m offering a free product pick from my Booking Basket if you book an in home party before the end of October so contact me with potential dates for a cardmaking class with your friends! See you in class!
This week’s group of Stampin’ Up! Canada Weekly Deals really shines! I love all the items on this list, so it’s really hard to pick a favourite!! I am a little partial to the elegance of the Silver Satin Ribbon, and love the Confetti Hearts Border Punch for creating a fun edge on my projects, or for making heart shaped confetti for shaker cards!
I hope that your day goes well! Happy Back To School Day 🙂 around here it’s wet so the first day pictures will have to be inside, I think. (but first, we’re off to the dentist for removal of braces! It’s an eventful day all around).
Don’t forget that the Weekly Deals are in limited supply, and items will revert to regular pricing once the specially priced supply is gone. You can click on the image or click here to shop in the YamStamps online store and have your items delivered to your doorstep! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need help placing your order. Happy Shopping!
