Our family has grown

 On July 20 we welcomed our 3rd grandson into the family.  We are crazy about this little guy.  I am sharing my joy with all by offering a Baby Theo Special.  Until his first month birthday, I am taking 10% off retail cost of any Stampin' Up! products.  Make your list from the Annual Catalogue, the July- December Mini catalogue and the Clearance Rack.  Keep in mind that Sale-abration runs through to the end of August.  With each $60 increment you qualify to add an item from the Sale-abration brochure FREE!  I thought this would be a fun way to spread the JOY!


I hope you are enjoying the Technique Tea & Cards this month.  If you have missed any videos, check out my YouTube channel (Stampin with Diane T) where they are all posted. Here is the latest one.

Using Vellum Paper - Tea & Cards Technique - Stampin' Up!


Thursday July 28 I will be featuring the "kissing" stamping technique.  You will be able to use this technique with the stamps and inks you have on hand.

I would love to see you at my Stamp A Stack class on August 19.  Get ready for all your upcoming occasions.  Go home with a goodie bag and 8 cards.  Cost is $50. Time slots are available throughout the day. Register here.

We spent a week with our children and grandchildren at a cottage.  What a relaxing time.  Of course, I made some time to stamp with my grandson. He absolutely LOVED the Robot Buddies kit. It comes with stickers and google eyes!  


Consider signing up for an upcoming class, or booking your own event. 
I hope to see you soon.
Stay safe, stay well.

Easter has come and gone...

 What a wonderful Easter weekend we had - despite the below seasonal temperatures, we did have some sunshine.  Our family was able to gather on Sunday for a traditional Easter dinner - turkey, ham AND pumpkin pie.  I found that rolling the dough was very good therapy for my wrist now that my cast is OFF!!

Our grandsons loved hunting for Easter eggs in the backyard.  They shared well and didn't eat TOO many before dinner. 



What fun to have my three grown children together, and to see our youngest grandson bonding with his cousin-to-be.  My husband took these photos and missed a few of the family members!  Oops!




Now I am working on getting the Annual 2022-2023 catalogue out to my customers, planning a very special event in May, and my May and June classes.  I am also booking home parties.  These can take a variety of forms and are such a fun way to connect with friends.

Check out all the upcoming events here. Register for events

THURSDAY APRIL 21 is a FREE SHIPPING DAY for orders of $100.

There are only 10 days left to pick up retiring items from the Annual 2021-2022 catalogue.  Don't miss out.

I hope you are well, enjoying good health and creativity.

An opportunity to give. Will you sponsor a kit?


One of the greatest pleasures I have as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator is the ability to bless others through my business. I am very excited to be partnering with another demonstrator for this Fight4Freedom Fundraiser.

 "Fight4Freedom exists to be an active voice and advocate of justice for individuals and communities exploited by sex trafficking and to further assist them in finding necessary support systems that will aid in their journey to safety, healing, and freedom. " We are aiming to get a Stampin’ Up! Crafting kit into the hands of the survivors so they may enjoy an evening of crafting together.  We will host a Zoom night and help these amazing women take time out for themselves.

Could you help by sponsoring a kit or two at $40 each?  Simply go to  fight4freedom.ca, click on “Survivor Care” from the drop down menu and include “craft kit” in the message box.  If you would prefer to donate a smaller amount, please send ANY amount to di.something4U@gmail.com with the message “F4F craft kit”.  I will total the amounts and top up the donation to get as many kits as possible.  


Deadline - March 31, 2022

St. Patrick's Day Savings

 I don't have any Irish in me, but I can still pass along some lucky savings!

I am giving a 10% discount on any GREEN items.  This applies to all shades of green card stock, inks, re-inkers, markers and ribbon.  Give me your list of items - of course you are welcome to order other items as well - by March 17.  I will place a group order.


For the month of March you can save 20% on the Mini Die Cut and Emboss Machine!  That brings the price down to $65.50.  Stampin' Up! is also offering 13 different stamp/dies bundles at a 20% discount.  Great time to buy and save!

I have some great classes planned for March, April and May!  
Check out the details and registration links here.


Did you realize that some Stampin' Up! items will be retiring in preparation for all the new ones we will see in the upcoming Annual Catalogue 2022 (May 2)?  Specifically, the 2020-2022 In Colours will no longer be available.  Some are already in low supply so don't wait.  Bumblebee, Magenta Madness, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight and Cinnamon Cider will be leaving.




I am aiming to get a few more home parties on my calendar for this spring.  How about inviting a few friends to learn the art of Stampin'?  No experience necessary.  I will provide everything and teach everyone how to complete the projects,  Attendees are ALWAYS impressed with what they create. Send me an email if you are interested in more information.   di.something4u@gmail.com

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.
