Dad's birthday card

I have made this card for my Dad who was so sick last year on his birthday we were sure he wouldn't see another! But he has rallied and is back to his wonderful, chipper self at 83 years old in a couple of weeks.

The card uses a great stamp set called The Open Sea. This stamp set came out in a mini catalogue last year and has reappeared in this year's regular catalogue. I have used a colour scheme of Bashful Blue, Midnight Muse and Whisper White and I have also used some retired DSP that came out with the stamp set last year.

Let's hope this year treats Dad kindly and I get to make many more cards for him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

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.
