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!
Yes, it’s almost time for the Twelve Weeks of Christmas!! Each year, in the weeks before Christmas, I send out an exclusive Christmas project to the YamStamps subscribers. These projects are not shared anywhere else – you won’t see them on the YamStamps blog, the Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest…well, you get the idea. They will start NEXT WEEK so be sure to be signed up to the YamStamps list by Wednesday at 1pm when the first mailing goes out. As a bonus, new subscribers get an exclusive paper crafting video tutorial. By the way, there will be no “re-sends” of the special emails, so if you want all 12 projects, you need to be in from the beginning.
To get you into the spirit, I’m sharing a recent card featuring the beautiful Embellished Ornaments set and Delicate Ornament dies. Combined with the Gold and Silver Foil sheets, they make for an elegant card. I used Silver and Gold ribbon and silver embossed the sentiment. Smoky Slate is a great cardstock to play up the silver tones. I used the new Precision Base Plate to cut these ornaments – it’s great because it will never warp…but you do get a bit of a work out winding it through the Big Shot. I found that I didn’t need to use the dryer sheet to get these die cuts to pop out, but I did have to spend a bit of time getting the little bits to punch out of the ornament. I’m going to experiment a bit to see the most effective way to die cut the ornaments and will be sure to share my results here.
Don’t forget a couple of deadlines coming up! Registration for the October Christmas Card Class closes on October 1st – payment is due at that time so that I can place the order for the product that you get with your class fee. As well, the next Monthly Card Class will be Wednesday, October 7th. You can take a look at the YamStamps Events page for registration links or contact me to register. I look forward to seeing you in class soon!
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!
I love Stampin’ Up!’s The Open Sea set for masculine images. This card is my take on a swap card received at convention (and I apologize that I don’t have the inspiration card in front of me to give credit where credit is due…I will amend this as soon as I locate the original!). We used a banner framelit to cut out the image and the Greetings framelit set for the sentiment. A bit of masculine bling in the form of Gold Baker’s Twine completes the card.
I hope that you all survived the first week of school! So far so good in our neck of the woods. I am spending the day with friends at a crop where I’m getting the chance to catch up on some of my stamping projects – including my latest Paper Pumpkin and Watercolour Wishes kits. If YOU are ready to get back to class, don’t forget that I am offering a bonus for hosting an in home class with your friends – your pick of product from the Booking Basket, and that there’s always a Monthly Stamp Class the first Wednesday of the month in Burlington. See the YamStamps Event page for more information, or contact me if you have any questions. Hope to see you in class soon!
