Today is the last day to take advantage of the great Ink-redible special! This is the best way to start your business with a bang – you get to select your choice of $155 worth of product for only $125, PLUS you'll get a FULL SET of ink pads for FREE.
My great group of demonstrators spans Canada – we keep in touch electronically and in person as able. Our next local team get together is this Wednesday in Burlington – so what are you waiting for??? Here's some more information
Here's a video showing these great new format ink pads…some great tips for re-inking and renewing the pads. (If you're reading this in the Yamstamps app or in a reader, click here to come to the post on the blog).
Here's the spot I did on TV Cogeco's FYI show, airing this week in the Burlington area. Thanks again to the crew and cast of FYI for including me on the show!! Don't forget that if you'd like to make the ornament that's shown at the front of the table, the class is this Saturday, December 15th at 1pm here in Burlington – there's still some space available, but contact me ASAP. Otherwise, if you're subscribed to my newsletter list, look for your 12/12/12 edition of the 12 Weeks of Christmas at 1pm (Eastern) today!
Happy World Cardmaking Day! Hope that you are able to spend a moment today to make a card and send it to someone special – "just because". That's the beauty of cardmaking, I think – it's a craft that is based on sharing with others.
Here's a video I created (look at the fancy title and end bits!) to show you how to make a card using a technique that some call "Triple Time". If you saw my clip on CH Morning Live yesterday, it was the card at the top of the card tree. If you didn't see that clip, I'll include a link of it below as well. I had a great time as always on the show, and Annette Hamm is a crafter for sure! Despite my "epic time fail" I think it went pretty well. My epic fail was that I hauled my Big Shot along to show some fancy embossing and die cutting…..and we totally ran out of time before I even got to use it on air!!! Ah well, that means I have something to show next time, and I will be SURE to do that FIRST!!!
Without further ado – here's the video – enjoy, and if you make something with this, I'd love to see the results! Email me or post it to my page on facebook – www.facebook.com/yamstamps
Thought I'd add a "Tuesday Tip" – a quick tip for your paper crafting! The plan is for this to be a semi-regular feature here at www.yamstamps.com Today's video tutorial is a variety of ways (okay, 4 to be exact) that you can create notched ends in your paper or ribbon to complete the look of your paper craft projects. If you are reading this in a reader or via email, the video may not appear, so in that case, please go to the video on the yamstamps youtube channel or the yamstamps blog to see it.
The stamp sets used in the project were Blue Ribbon and Confetti for the birthday card, and the swap card used Bootiful Occasions (on my wish list…LOL).
If you have anything you'd like to see featured on Tuesday Tips, please leave a comment below (please note, they will not appear right away as comments must be approved as legitimate!) or send me an email.
WOOHOO! Stampin’ Up! just announced to demonstrators that the 31% off Digital Sale is being extended to September 14th! Realizing that this is a bit of a crazy time of year for everyone, this gives you a bit more time to take advantage of the digital deals. These downloads work in My Digital Studio – Stampin’ Up!’s digital crafting program – aka MDS, MDS2 which was just released, and any program that can manage .png files (most of the photo editing software out there). I am just getting into MDS2 and working on some tutorial videos for you all.
Or…you can check out this video that I did a while back for MDS – using a template that’s now available in MDS2+. This is how easy it is to create something using the great digital templates available!! Drag and drop 🙂 (if you are reading this in a reader or email, the embedded video may not appear – come to www.yamstamps.com to check it out!)
