Mini Stamp Camp - Don't Miss It!

Need a card for Mothers Day?  Maybe you have a couple birthdays coming up you could use cards for?  Maybe you're just looking for a girls night out with an opportunity to stamp?

I've offering a last minute mini stamp camp on Saturday, May 8th at 7:30pm.  We'll be stamping three projects - two cards and an adorable little gift box - for only $10!!!

What to see the projects???  So cute!

Prepayment is not required for this event, but I do need your RSVP to hold your spot as seating is limited.

Happy Stamping!

A couple cards...

Last night I met with my Stampers 6 Club - a great group of women - and I thought I'd share the two projects we stamped.

The first project is a 5x5 card using the Brick technique.  This technique is done by stamping any image on a piece of cardstock, cutting the cardstock into strips and then cutting each strip into block "bricks".  Then, like a puzzle, you adhere each brick down leaving a small space around each one.  I think this technique gives the image a very unique look.  We also used the Polka Dot embossing folder with the Big shot to give the Not Quite Navy cardstock layer a bit of texture.  You can click the image for a closer view.

The second card we made used two of Stampin' Up's Bigz dies, the Top Note and the Daisy Dies.  I love how quick and simple it can be to put together a card when the Big Shot cuts out all the pieces for you!  I also love the sparkle of the Rhinestone brad in the center of the flower.

Happy Stamping!

ETA:  Here are a few pictures from one of my favorite stamp sets, Fifth Avene Floral.  A few cards are mine and a few I found on the demonstrator website, created by fellow demonstrators.

Don't forget the inside of your card!  When I use a darker colored card base, I like to add a piece of white cardstock to the inside.  By adding a few stamped images, it helps dress up the inside and coordinate with the outside!

Happy stamping!
