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!

First of all, Happy Long Weekend! I hope that you’ve been able to spend some time relaxing with friends and family. While I have had downtime with my family, at the same time, I’ve been working away at clearing out my craft room. It’s been long overdue. As I was going through items (a lot of which were in boxes), I realized that a number of these boxes were actually from when I moved house (a year ago….ahem). I think I unpacked the crucial items that I needed right away and a lot of things were left to “deal with later”. I found some tools and items that I had been wondering where they had gone….(Stamp-a-ma-jig sheets for example…) and am now working at putting things into proper homes. The upside is that I’m looking forward to eventually having an even more clear space to work in and a dedicated space for videos. Right now, I’ve been clearing off my working surface, shooting videos and then re-cluttering the surface as I worked on more projects, then repeating the process (which also might explain the slowness in producing videos of late?!).
SO
The good news is that I’m making progress. The not so good news is that it’s going to take a little longer than I thought it would! LOL. However, the other good news is that I’ve found a LOT of items that I am able to include in my BOOKING BASKET. If you received my September newsletter, you might have noticed that I’m offering a BONUS for booking an in home cardmaking class in the next couple of months. Book a date before the end of October and you get a free pick at the basket. Well, right now, it’s actually a bin, there’s so much stuff. There’s stamp sets, cardstock, paper, tools….some current, some retired and no longer available…oh, there’s a Hallowe’en wreath kit…. SO. If you’re within driving distance of Burlington, contact me to book a date, and get a pick from the bin. You’ll receive your item at your party. If someone at your party books a party….you BOTH get a pick from the bin, which you’ll receive at that person’s party. Yay! Free stuff! I’m offering my cardmaking classes for $20 per person to make 4 cards (all supplies & envelopes included), but as always, the host is FREE and gets to keep the samples. New this fall at in home events (only) – each paying class attendee will receive a coupon for a partial rebate on their class fee if they place a qualifying order at the event. What are you waiting for??!!
Yes! The Stampin’ Up! Canada Holiday Catalogue is now live! This is one of my favourite items from the new catalogue – aren’t the ornaments so gorgeous? When you cut from the foil papers it’s so impressive. (We are using this thinlit set in tomorrow’s Monthly Card Class…still seats available if you want to register!) So many exciting things in the Stampin’ Up / YamStamps world this week, and especially today! Holiday Catalogue is live, registration deadline for the Tin of Cards Class and impending deadline for September’s Christmas Card Class, Weekly Deals PLUS the September newsletter goes out today.
Click on the catalogue image to download a digital copy. If you still need a hard copy of the catalogue and live in Canada, please fill out this form and I will see about getting one to you ASAP.
Here are the Weekly Deals – remember that the number of specially priced items is limited, and once that number is gone, the product reverts to regular pricing.
I think my faves this week are the washi tape (you can never go wrong with basic black & white!) and the stamp set. It can be hard to find good “boy” themed images!
Last but not least, the YamStamps September newsletter goes out today around 1pm Eastern. Please subscribe by using the sign up box at the top of the blog, or go here to find out more about the newsletter. *phew*
The Stampin’ Up! Canada Weekly Deals are a number of items that are specially priced for a limited time and in limited quantities. This week’s specials are items that will take your paper crafting to the next level of “wow” for sure. Anything that glitters always catches my eye (just a little distractible…) and my fave pick this week is the Gold Glimmer Paper. Though I always love the satin ribbon, and now that I’ve learned how to line up my Pansy Punch, I quite like it as well LOL.
Click on the image or on this link to see all the Weekly Deals. Place your order online, or contact me if you have any questions or need assistance. For those of you anxious to start ordering from the Holiday Catalogue, orders will start Tuesday, September 1 (same day as the next batch of Weekly Deals). You can place your order online at that time or contact me and I will place your order that day. Or you could become a demonstrator and order Holiday Catalogue items for your Starter Kit choices today, and be eligible to preorder to your heart’s content before September first. (Yes, it’s true, I called Stampin’ Up! to check on that for a customer!!). Just saying…..
