A Glorious Stamp Class

Shalae had her monthly stamping class at our house last night. . . another great one. We had about 9 people there, which is the perfect number—prep time is short, we can all fit around the kitchen table, and it’s warm and cozy!

Our project was easy and simple (the best kind, right?)—10 cards for $10, and everyone got to customize their own cards. They started with basic notecards (with a Crumb Cake front) and got to choose their own pre-cut strips of International Bazaar Designer Series Paper, coordinating ribbon, and sentiment.

I demonstratored the new stamp pads, and we had treats (Megan’s homemade salsa, chips, and other snacks) and lots of fun. One guest mentioned how much she hates to use store-bought cards now; she had to buy one recently and actually “dolled it up” before she sent it! Everyone was definitely thrilled to leave the class with 10 cards ready to be used.

I actually didn’t stamp much—I spent the entire time chatting and holding/feeding Liam, so that made it a glorious night for me!

Sounds like lots of fun. I have been having more workshops and the ladies like to call it punch and munch because we meet at a local restaurant and for some it is their only night to call theirs. We all purchase a meal and have a great time. Best ladies night out and I always have as much fun as my customers do. This week we are doing an Origami style box complete with bow.
Thanks for the new challenge up. June was definitely a busy busy month. only 2 more weeks till convention! yippee my yearly get away for fun.
Warmly, (well actually it is sweltering here in FL)

Love the basic card, and the attendees ability to customize to their own tastes. Sounds like a great gathering when there is nibbling and baby holdin' going on!

I love the simplicity of these cards and just may have to CASE your idea! It's a simple inexpensive way to get a bunch of cards done quickly (and without a lot of prep)! Thank you for sharing! Happy 4th!

It is so much fun to see pictures of your beautiful family. And, what a blessing when the "rains fell" in answer to your prayer! The Lord can make himself known in so many ways!
I also love it when you put a crafting idea in your blog news. Keep 'em coming. The simple 10 card pack idea is great!
Please give us more news! May the Lord bless your family and you in the days to come. Thanks!
