Here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! So hard to pick my fave this week…but I think it might be the metallic ribbon. Think I will stock up on that and the gold vellum…. Click on each item’s name to be taken to it in the YamStamps online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. If you need help placing your order, please contact me…and don’t get distracted by the shiny objects at the beginning of this week’s list! LOL.

I was asked to create some projects using the Flower Patch set and Flower Fair Framelits Dies for the Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine Blog – what an honour (and what pressure! LOL). I did manage to come up with a few things… as did a fellow very creative demonstrator – so check it out! I have some other projects that I can share with you next week, so please come back to YamStamps to see them.
In the meantime…here’s a card based on the design of one of the published cards…
using the Mixed Bunch stamp set and coordinating punch. Fun and easy – and you know I’m all over that concept. I love the bright colours!

Have you wondered about Stampers Club? Curious about the great projects we make and the fun we have….but afraid to commit to a whole SIX months?? Well – here’s your chance! For this summer only, you have the opportunity to try out Stampers Club – commitment free! Well, okay, there are a few things you need to commit to, but only once…or twice if you choose. For July and August, there are limited spaces for Stampers Club Without Commitment. Register in advance to attend July and/or August Stampers Club to make four cards (all supplies included) and agree to purchase $33 worth of Stampin’ Up! merchandise at that club meeting. That’s it. Give it a try to see what it’s all about! If you like it – you may want to consider becoming part of the club to get your turn at receiving the Hostess Benefits (read: free merchandise of your choice) once during your six month stay in club – but no pressure to do so. Remember, this is Club Without Commitment 😉 Please note, though, that there are limited spaces for this limited time offer. See the YamStamps Events page for dates; Club is currently the third Monday of each month in Burlington ON. Please contact me to register or if you need more information.

Carpe Cake! (sorry to all those Latin scholars out there, because I’m pretty sure that’s not quite correct…). Anyway – a fun card using a combination of sets. The cake image is from Sketched Birthday, and while there are some good sentiments in that set, I was taken by the “Seize the Cake”from the Something to Say set and thought the two went together quite well. The Designer Series Paper Lullaby forms the background. I love that the DSP could be used for baby pages or projects, but doesn’t tie you to that theme. Of course, the easiest way to figure out a colour scheme for a project is to take it from the DSP used – so in this case, there’s some Coastal Cabana cardstock and thick Baker’s twine, and I used a blender pen to colour the image with Coastal Cabana, Hello Honey and Baked Brown Sugar. A fun birthday card for a guy or a girl 🙂
If you need to build up your card stash, don’t forget that I have monthly card classes and a monthly Stampers Club where you get to use all sorts of Stampin’ Up! product and techniques to create 4 different cards. Check out my Events page or contact me for more details!
