An 18th Birthday Card

My nephew, Matthew, turns 18 next weekend so a special card was required for this occasion.

I have made this 3D staged card along a sporting theme. Matthew has just started at Newcastle University studying PE teaching so I thought this fitted the bill. He is also swimming at the Olympic trials in Adelaide this weekend although he tells me it is not his time yet but in 4 years you never know what might happen.

This card is a combination of Stampin' Up products including card stock in Crumb Cake, River Rock and Certainly Celery and some stamps from various SU stamp sets but I have also used some non SU products to fit the "sportsman" theme.

It took me a couple of goes to get all the figures to move properly but the final card opens and closes as it should and works well.

The card is off to the household where everyone is very "card making" savvy and will be checked over thoroughly. I hope it passes muster.

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.
