It’s that time of year again….starting next week, it’s the Twelve Weeks of Christmas! As a special feature for subscribers of the YamStamps Mailing List, each year at this time I have a special extra newsletter edition. Each week brings a holiday project tutorial – complete with a picture, supply list, and step by step instructions. This is in addition to the regular YamStamps Projects Newsletters – so there’s lots of ideas and inspiration coming to your inbox – but only if you’re a subscriber! Just like the regular YamStamps newsletter project – these projects won’t be shared elsewhere.
Thought I would share an autumn card with you today! This card was featured in the most recent Card Class to Go and Stampers Club.
This card is all about autumn colours and textures, the background is the Woodland Embossing Folder on Soft Suede Cardstock. The leaves are die cut and embossed with the Nature’s Root Dies, and I added one of the leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. I love that the paper features multiples of the same shapes so that I don’t feel the need to hoard them quite so much as I might… I used the Tasteful Labels dies to cut out the shapes for the sentiment from one of my current favourite all purpose sets, Banner Year.
One of my favourite thrifty tricks is to use to die cut or punch shapes out of the backing mat piece – and I used that trick here on my Autumn card. Noone will see the gap in the cardstock when it’s layered up like this!
There’s a couple of days left for the Get & Go Starter Kit Special! Until September 30th, you will receive 2 additional free stamp sets (Queen Anne’s Lace and So Much Love) plus 16 card kits and some bling with your starter kit order – which, as usual, will include $165 worth of product of your choice – plus all the basic business supplies you’ll need to get started!

Too soon? Sharing a glittery snowflakes card that is part of the Card Class to Go “A” set. Typically in card classes around this time of year, I’ll start including one specific holiday-type card in the mix…so that class/club attendees will have a small selection of designs and cards by the time they need to mail them.
This card features products in the Snowflake Wishes Bundle, which includes the Snowflakes Wishes stamp set and coordinating So Many Snowflakes dies. Not sure if you can see it well in the photo but the Whisper White cardstock background is embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. Since it was part of the Stampers Club / Class to Go, I pre-cut all the snowflakes from the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper for the card kits. Before I die cut, though, I adhered one of the Adhesive Sheets to the back of a 6″ x 12″ piece of the Glimmer Paper – so assembling the glittery snowflake card is even easier – just peel off the backing and stick the snowflake in place! Truth be told, I’m a slightly lazy crafter – so if I have to use liquid glue, I won’t go over every inch of the embellishment – just dots here & there, which usually works…as long as I am sure to cover enough areas so that it will stick! This leads to my second confession – I’m also a messy crafter, which means that usually the first embellishment (or even card, if I’m lucky) will be okay, but the second or third has my gluey fingers often mucking up things or getting stuck to the project as well. Thankfully, I have ALSO learned to use my Silicone Craft Sheet because nothing sticks to that…not even my sticky fingers.
I used the sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set, but those in Club/Class received a blank precut label and could stamp whatever sentiment they wished from their stash. (Stampin’ Up! rules prohibit us from including any pre-stamped materials in our kits). If you’re interested in getting a Card Class to Go kit, contact me! Delivery is either porch pick up in Burlington ON or via Canada Post.
If you’re looking to start in on your stash of holiday cards, I’m working on a class revolving around a Holiday themed bundle, but in the meantime, you may also want to consider grabbing the next Paper Pumpkin kit, which is on sale right now. September 11-October 10 is the subscription period for the October box, which is called Joy to the World. It includes supplies to create 8 cards, and includes die cuts in English, French & German. Great for sending to friends around the world! I’m looking forward to this one. You can subscribe to get a new kit each month, and pay month by month, or purchase a pre-paid subscription for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. You can cancel at any time, or put a month on hold if you need.
If you purchase a Demonstrator Starter kit this month, you’ll receive a code to redeem for a Paper Pumpkin kit. **If you purchase between Sept 1-15, you’ll receive a code you can redeem as of September 16th. If you purchase the starter kit Sept 16-30, you’ll receive a code you can redeem after October 10th.**SO –if you would like to get the Joy to the World kit as your free Paper Pumpkin kit you will need to complete the Starter Kit purchase by Tuesday September 15th. Check out the FAQs for joining my group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators here or message me if you have any questions.
In the meantime, I’m packaging up the next Card Class To Go / Stampers Club kits – no glittery snowflake cards this time around (different set of cards each time) – but still 4 fun projects!
