Today is World Cardmaking Day! Stampin’ Up! is already celebrating by offering selected stamp sets at a discounted price until October 10th, and selected Designer Series Papers are Buy 3 Get 1 Free During the entire month! You can shop online in the YamStamps Stampin’ Up! Canada Store here – however, I have one more special offer for you – TODAY ONLY!
If you’d like to hear more about the class, you can go here – but if you want the special pricing, you’ll need to use the above link. The special will be in effect Saturday, October 7th ONLY.
I think that the Clever Cards Class is a great way to celebrate World Cardmaking Day. This class features a number of interesting and clever folds that you can use for your cards when you want an extra special card! It’s an online class, so you can learn from the comfort of your own home, and like all the YamStampsMore Online Classes, you’ll have lifetime access to the videos and instructions.
I hope that you are able to spend a bit of time today being creative. World Cardmaking Day is a fun way to celebrate the art and craft of a handmade card – and of course, part of the joy of making a card is sharing it with someone – so I hope that you take the time to send a handmade card as well. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

LAUNCHING TODAY! The latest YamStamps online class! Clever Cards shows you five different card patterns that you can use in your crafting. If you feel the need to step up your cardmaking, or want to move on from making simple cards to simply amazing cards, this is the class for you! The class covers how to create these cards: Double Z Fold, Curved Strips, Secret Message, Rotating Image and Twisting Pop Up. Each card has a photo, at least one video showing the construction & decoration of the card, supply list (featuring Stampin’ Up! supplies), and written, downloadable instructions. Lifetime access means you can return to class materials over and over again, when you need them. Online class means as long as you have internet access, you can watch and learn wherever you are, whenever you have the time! You can find out more information about this class, and register HERE. To see more about some of the other online classes that I have available, you can visit the YamStampsMore page.
I can promise that THIS will not happen in class videos….
because this was edited out! I think editing out my goof ups and slip of the lips took longer than anything else….
I hope that you will join me in this online class. I enjoy clean and simple cardmaking, but sometimes, by changing up a few folds and adding some elements, you can turn a simply stamped card into something even more impressive! These are the cards that will impress the friends and family who don’t usually appreciate your handmade cards as much as they should…..I’m sure we all know a few of those people, don’t we?! LOL. If you’re a auditory or visual person (like me), you’ll appreciate the video to listen to and watch what’s going on. If you’re a reader, the written instructions will come in handy (plus they’re downloadable so you can print them out to refresh your memory as you are making your own versions!
Anyway! I am already at work at the next online class focusing on watercolouring on cards. I’ll have to come up with some snappy name for that I guess. Suggestions welcome 🙂
In the meantime, I am working on a few last minute Valentine’s Day giftables (did you catch any of my segments on Cogeco TV’s Halton Insider last week?! Lots of little crafty ideas there!) Hey – you could purchase the Clever Cards online class and whip up one of the fancy cards in time to give to someone tomorrow?! Happy Crafting.

Happy Boxing Day! In the new year, I’ll be launching another YamStampsMore Online Class – this one will be “Clever Cards”! It will focus on card designs and techniques, rather than a particular stamp set or product. This way, you can use the class to learn how to make a variety of “not your basic half fold cards”, and add your own creative touch by using whatever stamps, ink and embellishments you have on hand. Think more 3D type card projects or movement based cards – like pop up cards. The projected cost of this online class is $20 Canadian, but during the Preorder, you can purchase the class in advance for just $10 Canadian! If you purchase your class before the end of the year, you’ll also receive access to an exclusive additional project.
Please note that this is a PREORDER. You will be notified when the class goes live and you will be able to access the class materials and bonus project at that time. Much like my other online classes, it will feature full instructions and video for each individual project, lifetime access, and is open to students from around the world. At time of this post, there are a minimum of four different projects to be featured.
Please click on the button to complete your payment – you will be taken to a registration page to record your name and best email so that you can receive notification once the class is open. Please note that this preorder button will be deleted December 31, 2016.
Questions? Please feel free to contact me.

My favourite thing about autumn is the changing colours, though around here, the trees are starting to get bare – lots of colourful leaves on the ground! I love Stampin’ Up!’s Sheltering Tree stamp set, and here it’s combined with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It uses the same technique that we did on CHCH Morning Live a little while ago – ink the leaves in Hello Honey, and then use a sponge dauber to randomly apply a second colour – in this case, Tangerine Tango. This is a great card that can be used for any occasion.
If you’re looking for card ideas, and holiday cards in particular, I’ve teamed with a friend for my latest online class offering. Holiday Cards are the focus – and each class features a different holiday stamp set. You can purchase an individual class for $10 CAD or get all four for $30. See more information here. You’ll be able to access the class materials instantly! If you prefer the “hands on” type of learning, don’t forget the upcoming Christmas Card Class November 19th, or the Stamp a Stack on November 28th. (more information and registration here) See? No excuses not to have at least a few handmade cards for those special people on your list!

Happy World Cardmaking Day! I hope you get to celebrate by doing something fun and creative….like making cards? I’m spending the day getting business tips and inspiration with fellow demonstrators at a Stampin’ Up! Canada event.
Here I am with Leanne and Mary, two demonstrators in my group called the “Eh” team.
…and because it’s World Cardmaking Day, I do feel the obligation to share a card with you all!! This is fun card I used at last month’s classes. The flower (from Flower Fair framelits) was die cut from the top layer first, before embossing with the Perfect Polka Dots folder. The top layer is applied to the Melon Mambo layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then the smaller flower was adhered in the centre of the die cut.
Don’t forget that if you want more card ideas, one of the best way is to come to a class and make them! Monthly card classes happen the first Wednesday of each month, or Stampers Club meets every 3rd Monday of the month – and there’s a new option to attend during the daytime instead of the evening if that works better for you. Please contact me if you need more information or want to register! If you aren’t able to make these times there are options – get a group together and we can set a date just for you – or try an online class from the comfort of your own home!
Now – go be creative!!

I love the bright colours in this card – and it’s a great card for any special occasion for either a male or a female. I don’t know about you but sometimes I find it more difficult to create a unisex or more masculine feeling card…but with Designer Series Paper and fun images like this, it’s easier. I used the Watercolour Wonder Designer Series Paper and pulled the rest of the colours for the card off of that. Gumball Green and Island Indigo make the card pop and it’s a quick one to put together. (You know me, I’m all about the quick and easy cardmaking).
If you’re looking for other easy and impressive card ideas, but can’t always join me in person, why not invest in a 6 month subscription to Inbox Inspiration? This online program has weekly exclusive paper crafting ideas and instructions coming directly to your email. You will not see these ideas anywhere else in the YamStamps world (i.e. not on the YamStamps site, Twitter , Instagram, Facebook Page, Pinterest, Google+ ….LOL you get the idea!)
