Stamping with Kids

For those of you that weren't aware, I teach monthly stamping classes to kids after school. April was my last class for the '07-'08 school year, so I had them make a set of matching notecards, a single card plus a coordinated mug. My thought was that they can use the gifts either for Mother's Day or as a thank you for 1 of their Teachers or Coaches. On occasion, some of my students can't make the class at the last minute (illness or schedule conflict etc.) This is one of the make-up mugs/cards that a sibling did. She chose a different floral set and color scheme so that her sister is giving 1 mug to their Grandma and she can give the other mug to her Mom.

Stamps: Watercolor Garden II
Ink: Rose Red, Rose Romance, Mellow Moss, Basic Black
C/S: Vanilla, Rose Red, Basic Black
Accessories: Wrought Iron Corner Punch, Non SU ribbon

Birthday card for my nephew

Ok, so this card has got minimal stamping on it, but I just think it is so darn cute. It is amazing what you can do when you mat or layer a sticker. I made this for my little nephew who turns 2 on Monday. Naturally the party is a Mickey Mouse theme and he is totally into "the Mouse". Hope he grins when he sees it.

Mickey Mouse sticker - I think it was EK Success
C/S: All Stampin' Up!

Bday Hat Punch: Stampin' Up!
Decorative Paper: Disney Assorted Package of scrapbook paper

April's Stamp Camp - canceled

I am canceling the stamp camp for April this month.

Stay tuned for more news and the date of the May camp soon!

SAB March Stamp Camp

My March stamp camp featured cards from a recent SU Demo Swap showcasing the SAB sets. Here they are:

Winter Themed Holiday Thank you Card

I know Spring is here...but I just wanted to share with you my official "thank you" notes for this past winter season. They were a snap to make with my friendly cuttlebug machine and I whipped out a stack super fast back in December! On a select few (including this sample) I even went the extra step to really make them sparkle, by adding stickles to the cuttlebugged piece of c/s. This design is so universal that these cards could be used as birthday, thank you, Christmas, New Year, Get Well, Thinking of you etc. just by changing the sentiment. Enjoy!
