A birthday card for my brother

My brother, Ian, is celebrating his birthday this week and I have made him a card using the stamp set Open Sea with its matching DS paper. Ian has done quite a bit of sailing over the years although he is not quite old enough to have sailed on boats of the era shown on his card.

I have used Not Quite Navy and Basic Grey card stock and Not Quite Navy ink to create this card.

This stamp set and paper are featured in the Summer Mini Catalogue. If you would like to see the full catalogue click on the Summer Mini Catalogue on the right hand side bar. There are lots of wonderful new products available until the end of March in this mini catalogue.

I have included 2 photos to show the card standing and lying flat so that you can see how the DS paper has been used.

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.
