Stampin' with Friends...what it is all about

A couple weeks ago I went over my friend Jamie's house for a night of stamping. In just a couple hours we had great conversations, great laughs, and made lots of cute projects. She prepped a few projects for us and I did too. It was such a treat for me to stamp just for fun and to have some of the projects prepped for me. Now I really understand why you love coming to classes! I had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

The above and below picture show the gift she gave me for helping her with a scrapbook show. Isn't it adorable! It is a card kit with 4 cards and envelopes inside. I love the colors she used and the Aviary stamp set she used. I make cards just about every day, but I still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to get stamped gifts!

Here is one of the projects I prepped. The card below uses a Level 2 stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. If you host a workshop, this is one of the sets you could be eligible for. Let me know if you want to hear more about hosting a workshop.

The next card is a great, non traditional Christmas card. I have got to admit, when I seen this set in the catalog, Greeting Card Kids, it did not grab my attention. Now after using it in this card and seeing all of the amazing samples online I love it!

The above card is a nice Fall card with lots of great fall colors. This card was made with the Paisely Prints stamp set.

Lastly, here is another card and holder we made. This owl was made with the newish SU Owl punch. I was not a big fan of Owls, but of course, now I love them.

That is all for tonight. I can honestly say the best thing about my stamping hobby and business is getting together with friends while making beautiful handmade cards and gifts. That is the best part of being a demo. I never imagined doing stamp classes and clubs, but once I did my first one and had so much fun I was hooked.

Okay, enough with the sentimental stuff. I have to get back to preparing for my Stamp a Stack class tommorrow.
