This is the card we created live on air last week when I was invited back to CHCH TV’s Morning Live show. I always enjoy my spots there, and I know that co-host Annette Hamm is crafty, so it’s always fun to share new projects with her. While this is a Christmas card, I think you could change out the sentiment and turn it into an any occasion card…maybe add a few more stars…or have no stars at all….hmmm….. You may not recognize the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen stamp set as it does not appear in a current catalogue but is still available to order, which is a good thing, since I like it so much 🙂
Reminders if you’re shopping online, use the hostess code 3JWRHXP7 for an entry to win hostess benefits for all online orders placed. The Holiday Sale is on until Monday, December 2nd – selected items and unique bundles at up to 50% off…and you’re cutting it close to register for my Christmas Stamp a Stack (this card may end up being one of the cards on the list, since it’s one of my faves!) – it’s this Saturday, November 30th. Your choice – 10am til noon or 1pm til 3pm. Contact me ASAP so you don’t miss out!

When we made this card in Stampers Club, some people were looking for the Designer Series Paper to complete this project….but it’s all done with stamps! We stamped the various ornaments from the Stampin’ Up! set Ornament Keepsakes in Smoky Slate (have I mentioned how much I LOOOOOVE this new addition to the SU colour family?), Night of Navy and Always Artichoke. Added the “merry” cut from Brushed Silver Cardstock and tada! I adhered a strip of the Brushed Silver Cardstock to a Big Shot Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheet so after we die cut the word, it adhered easily and neatly to the cardfront.

A quick post here before I run off to the TV studio! Tune in around 915 am to CHCH TVs Morning Live show – I’ll be sharing some Christmas Card ideas on air. I will share some of the samples on the site here in the next few days as well, so be sure to come back to www.yamstamps.com to see them!
Today is the start of a new set of weekly deals – trying a new format this week, let me know what you think…anyway – click on the image to be taken to the deals in the online store (fingers crossed if it’s working right LOL). If you type in each item number as well, it will take you directly to that item. Don’t you think the talking labels would be FANTASTIC for holiday cards? Record a little message to that distant relative that they can listen to? Love it!
Hope that you are also signed up for my newsletter because tomorow is another week in the 12 Weeks of Christmas projects – you’ve still got time to grab the last month’s worth of project ideas. See you in your inbox soon!!

I love Stampin’ Up!’s the Open Sea for a masculine card – and here I paired it with a circular image from Blue Ribbon to create a birthday card. I also used a strip of Designer Series Paper from the Epic Day This and That package, and some linen thread, the cheapest most versatile accessory I think I own! Those neutral accessories always go far – did you see that the Burlap Ribbon is on sale this week? That’s in the same category for me.
Can you believe we’re almost half way through November? Even though I do the 12 Weeks of Christmas mailings and have to keep on top of that schedule during the countdown to Christmas, I always find myself a bit shocked at how the time flies. We only have one more monthly Christmas Card Class left – in December!! However – there is a Stamp a Stack on Saturday, November 30th – so you can make 10 Christmas cards (2 each of 5 different designs) in one of the two sessions. Cards are the same for both sessions…though I guess if you came for both, you’d have 20 cards…LOL. Anyway – if you need to build up your stash of handmade cards, please register for one of the sessions! You can do so on the events page itself, or by contacting me by email.
