Denise's birthday card

Last week was my sister, Denise's birthday so that called for a card!!!!

I decided that I would base the card around a stamp set she loves but had never bought, Fifth Ave Floral. Now there was an idea for a gift. Once I got the card design sorted I needed some DS paper so gift idea number 2 came about - Elegant Soiree DS paper (she really wanted that too but hadn't bought for herself).

The card is a tri-fold design which was inspired by a design made by Christie Wallace. I used Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla and Basic Grey cardstock and the same stamp pads. The large rose on the first fold was embossed and raised to sit over the background images.

The gift and card were delivered on the weekend and were gladly received.

WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES

I run all kinds of classes and do traditional workshops or "Parties". A Workshop is free. A hostess (that could be you) holds the event, sends out invitations and provides simple refreshments. I demonstrate 2 projects (usually a card and a 3D item) and everyone gets to make them. Orders are placed, and the hostess can order Hostess benefits - free Hostess-only stamp sets or merchandise from the catalogue!

A Stamp-a-Stack is exactly as it sounds - the group get to make a stack of cards in a short amount of time. They can be held in my home or yours, cost is $20 (cash) for 8 cards.

A Technique Class is where you can learn more complex stamping techniques. You make a technique sample, 1 or 2 cards with envelopes (depending on the complexity) and take home technique notes for $20.00 (cash).

Stamp Club - 6 people are needed to make a stamp club. Stamp Club meets every 2nd month. You make a project each meeting. $50 is required to be spent by each club member on Stampin' Up products every meeting. Each person gets a turn at receiving the hostess benefits. We meet at my house, I supply tea/coffee and the Hostess for each gathering provides light refreshments. Contact me if you are interested in being in a Stamp Club.
