Feb 1, 2015 | cards, Events, Sale-A-Bration, specials, Stampin' Up!
Sale-a-Bration is that great time of the Stampin’ Up! Canada year where your regular orders earn you FREE product. This Wednesday’s Monthly Card Class will be featuring Sale-a-Bration items – like this card here! The Lotus Blossom Stamp Set has proven to be the most popular choice in the first month of Sale-a-Bration amongst my customers, and I have to agree. I was first drawn to Stampin’ Up! because of Two Step Stamping. You stamp a partial image and then complete the image with another stamp. This allows you to have a stem and a flower that are two different colours, and gradation of colour and dimension in an image. In the Lotus Blossom case, it’s actually Three Step Stamping – the blossom has 3 different components combined to make a beautiful image. This card also uses the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper – another Sale-a-Bration exclusive item. I love that bokeh effect on the paper.
A reminder that registration is required 2 days in advance of any event (to allow me time to prepare all the supplies!) so if you’re interested in attending Wednesday’s class, please register by the end of Monday, February 2nd (once you’ve finished checking out what Wiarton Willie has to say about the weather).

Thanks to everyone at CH Morning Live for having me on as a guest once again. I managed to show one project…never mind the fact that I had at least 2 others prepped and ready to go!!! Ah well. TV’s loss is the YamStamps blog reader’s gain – I’ll share all those prepped projects here over the next while leading up to Valentine’s Day. Just a quick FYI – I shared 2 kit projects on air today – the first was the Hello Life project kit and the second was the So You project kit. Both were fun and easy to make. If you decide to join my team of Stampin’ Up! Canada Demonstrators during Sale-a-Bration, you can select one of these kits for free to add to your choice of merchandise in your starter kit. Contact me for more information!
OK here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada. I love using the embossing folders to add texture to a project – quick and easy! Click on the item name to see it in the YamStamps Online store – you can shop 24/7 and have it delivered to your door!
Weekly Deals
We hope you enjoy this week’s Weekly Deals!

Here’s a great bunch of deals – especially if you like colour… My faves this week – the skin tone Blendabilities…but I also love the little clothespins! Click on the link for each item to see it in the YamStamps online Stampin’ Up! Canada store, or see all the Weekly Deals at once here.
We had another fun Stampers Club Day yesterday (members have their choice of a daytime or evening slot) and I will be sharing some of those projects here on the blog in the next while. Club members will also have access to full instructions, supply lists and photos on the membership site. If you’re able to get to Burlington once a month, and would like to join us, please let me know! I will be revamping the online Club sometime in the near future as well, but in the meantime, it’s also still open for membership – contact me for details.
Happy Shopping!

Here are the latest batch of Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals! Please click on the name beside each item to see it in the online store, or see all of the Weekly Deals at once here. I love the Starburst dies, and I think that the Watercolour (OK, I know, but I can’t spell it like that…LOL) Winter digital download may help me finally finish my seasonal cards, and perhaps before Easter. We can but hope, right?!
I do apologize that it’s been a little quiet here on the YamStamps blog – I have some things pressing in my non-Stampin’ Up! world that I need to take care of. If all goes according to plan, we should be fully back on track here next week. In the meantime, thanks for your patience!
