Stamp Clubs!

If anyone is interested in joining a Stamp Club, please contact me!

• Here are the details: We meet every other month and create around 3 Make-n-Takes. We use a basic stamping technique, an advanced technique, and do one stamping project. (Last time we did water bottles, this month we are stamping flip flops and drink chubbies.)

• Every member is required to submit a minimum order of $25.00 per meeting. In return, each member receives the hostess benefits once per year - in addition to receiving the great projects we do, the fellowship, and the food!! On the month that someone is receiving the benefits, the opportunity is also available to hold a separate workshop right before or after the Club meeting in order to increase the hostess benefits received. The location of Club meetings rotate between the members homes, or choice of where to hold it.

• I currently have one Stamp Club with one opening but would love to start at least one more! If you have a group of at least five people, you could have your own Club! We can focus on either mainly cards, mainly scrapbooking, or a mixture of both.

• If I have more people interested in meeting monthly, I can do that as well as long as we have enough people committed to a certain monthly purchase to create a workshop!

Contact me today to learn more or join!

Great option for Birthday Parties! Children love to create!

I am now offering to do mini scrapbooks on location for birthday parties! If you are interested, I have several different styles of scrapbooks to choose from. I will have them prepared and ready to be assembled with your pictures, stamped art, etc. I will bring all the stamp sets, inks, embellishments, paper, etc. All you have to provide are the party and the pictures!

Additionally, I can do your invitations for you, I can do paper table decorations and a scrapped centerpiece!

Call me today for details. I'll be glad to help!

Refuge and Strength

Since my son attends a private school, I wanted to give some teachers a card with a spiritual feel. Here is a card I made using the Refuge and Strength set.

Teacher's Gifts - Dance

Here is a group of cards I did for my daughter's dance teachers. All of the teacher cards that I am making are blank inside so the teacher can use them for gift giving. The only unfortunate part of these cards is that the dance figures and ballet shoe stamps are all retired! Stampin' Up! is not carrying any dance themed stamp sets right now. The "thank you", "note for you", and treble clef and bass clef stamps are from Elegant Notes. I have really gotten a lot of use out of that set!

I did the purses for these teachers out of the Berry Bliss Designer Series Paper. (not shown - but you can see a picture of the paper purse below.)

More Teacher Gifts

This time I was making treat bags for all the faculty and staff of my son's school. There are 41 members of the faculty and staff! It was fun making these cute treat bags! The added bonus to these is that I now have a template for making this type of bag for other occasions! :)

I LOVE the way the background to the saying turned out! I used the Boho Background set to stamp the flowers in pink. Very delicate and cute! The saying is from the mini catalog, Full of Life. The flower burst on the corner is also from the Boho backgrounds. My children made the flower bursts. My children were all lined up in an assembly line working on them! :) Of course, they showed back up when the Hershey's Kisses were opened! Hope you enjoy! BTW - this size card also holds a business card very well!

Scrapbook - Boho Style!

Here is a mini scrapbook I have completed to take to a crop tonight. I have a vendor table at the crop which is a benefit program. I did this scrapbook as a sample and used the Boho sets, Urban West rub-ons and Boho Simply Scrappin. This scrapbook would be cute without using any stamps or rub-ons, but I was trying to include a few as samples of things to do. Also, this scrapbook could easily be done in one evening using the Simply Scrappin' kit, as long as you don't have a two-year-old sitting on your lap helping! :)

I plan to do a Stamp Camp using one of these kind of kits - look for it on my calendar soon or email or call me if you are interested in doing one today!

Stamp Camp - Teen for Wall Art 10x10

I'm doing a workshop/stamp camp with some teen girls who want to do "wall art", framed images. I'm not sure if they want to be able to put in pictures of their own or not, so I have done samples of each. These can be easily modifiable to work with adding pictures or not. The frames I have will hold images that are 10 x 10.

I really LOVE the reflective horse! And, my upline taught me how to do the chipboard using craft stamp pads and embossing powder. It's a wonderful result!

Teacher Presents

I wanted to do teacher presents using only one stamp set, just in case they want to replicate cards themselves. These cards are an example of what I am doing for teachers. Each teacher will get an entire set of the cards. (so these pictures are an example of what one teacher will receive. This set is for the piano teacher. I've made exact duplicates for the music teacher and the violin teachers.) I'm really happy with the results! This stamp set is Elegant Notes.
