August Stamp Set of the Month

Million & One Stamp Set

Hello friends, this month I'd like to feature a wonderful new stamp set called Million & One. It's a fun word stamp set that will be a great statement piece to highlight any homemade card or scrapbooking page. I'm featuring Baked Brown Sugar (one of the new 2013-2015 In Colors) and I've thrown in some pearls, jewels and hand painted Simply Pressed flowers - they are remarkably light and easy to make, easy to colour and just plain fun to play with! I've also used Crisp Cantaloupe elasticized Ruffled Ribbon - super cute and available in my Ribbon Share for a song: http://canadianpaperprincess.blogspot.ca/2013/06/new-stampin-up-product-shares.html

This month's kit includes everything you need to quickly and economically recreate these stunning cards (8 cards, 4 of each design!)

A new package with dispenser of SNAIL (double sided adhesive tape) adhesive can also be included in your kit for $7 and refills for $5. 

The price for this kit is $41.00 which will include the Million & One stamp set in clear (or available in wood for an additional $5.)

What is a Stamp-a-Stack?

The idea behind a Stamp-a-Stack is that you go home with a 'stack' of cards ready to send out. Traditionally at a Stamp-s-Stack you will use a couple of card designs and mass produce each one a few times. I will pre cut all materials so you can make your cards easier and faster.

 

What is a Christmas Card Club?

• a 4 month card club
• meet once a month at my home
• Make 12 Christmas cards each night - 3 designs/ 4 of each card, envelopes included. 
• At each club night all attendees will receive a featured accessory (full package/roll of brads, ribbon, buttons, Christmas Washi Tape, etc.)  - all extras will be yours to keep!
•  An example: One of the nights might feature the new and gorgeous silver taffeta ribbon. At the club that night, you will receive a full roll that you will use on your cards. Anything that is left over is all yours to take home to make more or to use on other projects!

How Does it Work?
 

• To reserve your spot in this club, please provide 4 post dated cheques in the amount of $35 each dated Sept. 1, Oct. 1, Nov. 1, and Dec. 1 by July 31, 2013. 
• Each month your fee will be used to purchase the supplies needed for that months Christmas cards.
• Each month there will be awesome stamping products that will be raffled off to club members only (perk of being a club member.) 
• Come to each club night prepared to stamp your heart out. You will need to bring your own adhesive, scissors and bone folders to each night. Some will be available for purchase should you forget to bring yours.
• At the end of the 4 months you will have completed 48 Christmas cards ready to be mailed out! PLUS lots of extra supplies to make  more!!!

Washi Tape Workshop

What the Heck is Washi Tape?

You've probably seen it on Pinterest a million times or read about it on your favorite DIY or crafting blog, but what is washi tape anyway... and why is everyone so in love with it? Well, be prepared, because your washi tape obsession is about to begin!

The best way to describe washi tape is that it feels like masking tape — very, very pretty masking tape. It's made of paper, but is not as delicate as you would expect. Plus, it comes in exclusive patterns and designs that will...

make even the most dedicated crafters swoon and varying widths to allow you to create some fun and intricate washi tape designs.

Come to my 1st ever Washi Tape workshop!

 

Friday July 19 at 7:00pm

87 Burlington Crescent

Class cost is $25 or with a $40 order your class is free!
