Last night, a group of wonderful ladies got together to stamp at my friend Carolyn's house. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO fun! The only thing I forgot this time was dimensionals, which is amazing for me!! I usually have to either call Pete, (which he LOVES!!! <--- very sarcastic) or run home and get some more, or get whatever I've forgotten. So, I have to say, I was very proud of myself... I remembered the punches, and all the ink, and the extra paper for punching with, and the adhesive!!! (All things I've forgotten before!!)
Everyone made 12 cards, 3 each of 4 designs. I think they liked them... I did! Here's what we made:
Isn't this cute???? Some of the ladies made the eyes more 'off center' than mine, and called him hangover guy. Yup, that works too!! I'd seen quite a few different versions of him over on Splitcoaststampers, and LOVED the way you can use the Pick A Petal set for something non flowery. Some genius came up with it... certainly not me!!!
This used Tart and Tangy from the mini catalogue that expired at the end of June, but I loved it so much, that we used it anyway. I sure hope this set makes it into the big catalogue next summer!! It's sooo cute! Oh, and we used the NEW scallop punch that will be available Aug. 11. Oh, I can't wait for the new catalogue to get here... I can hardly stand the anticipation... hopefully it will arrive soon!!
This is a direct CASE of one Heather Summers made. It uses the soon to be gone Soft Sky paper... I'm sad to see it go, but it's going to be replaced with some really beautiful new paper soon, so I'm ok. Really.
This is also a new set coming out in August. I love how elegant this looks, just black and white. Some of the ladies made the card go the other way, and it looked really cute that way, too!! I really enjoy getting together with these ladies... they're so much fun, and even though some of them claim to not be really crafty, they have fun, and are learning that it doesn't have to look 'just like mine' to be really nice!!
I'm looking to start getting ready for the 'Stamping for the School' samples soon... AAGGHH... I can't believe we're almost 1/2 way through summer!! My 'baby' starts school in the fall, too, so I'll have more time to stamp!! (Yes, it really IS all about the stamping!!)
Have a wonderful day!!
I had a great time too Heather and would be willing to host a stamping night again!
