Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
I have a great way to celebrate — last week I held a Halloween Stamp Class for kids.  I have 7 kids attend — they ranged in ages from 2 – 10 (the 2 year old only stayed for one project, he was waiting for daddy to pick him up).  It was so much fun and they were so proud of their projects.

Here they are all at work — they had finished the first project and now working on their second project.

Here was the first project they made — I used parts & pieces from the September Paper Pumpkin kit, it was so simple to do — thank you Rachel Tessman for the template.

Let me know if you would like the measurements — I’m happy to share.

Here is the 2 year old with his finished project.

Look how happy he is.  Of course mom helped him but he did a great job.

Here is the second project they all made.
Halloween Art
Yes, they young kids made this wonderful framed art piece.  I did as much prep for them as I could (big shot cutting and I attached designer paper pieces to the Pumpkin Pie cardstock).  The kids stamped the mummy, vampire, spider web/spider, ghost, pumpkin faces, house, bats, words and then assembled the whole picture.

Check out this proud young lady.

It was a GREAT night.  I can’t wait for the December Kids Santa’s Workshop when they can make a couple of gifts to give for Christmas.

Fall Fest – Final Project

So sad….we are to the final project of Fall Fest.  It was a great day spent with a bunch of fun stampers.  The final project was a take home project.  They received the Holly Jolly Layers hostess stamp set during Project 3 — now they are going to put it to good use again making 6 fabulous cards.  In their supply box they received the supply bag and a sheet of directions to make these cards.

Fall Fest – Project 5

Today I have project 5 from Fall Fest — this is the last class we did for the day.  It features the Paisleys & Posies stamp set and coordinating Paisleys Thinlits.  For this class we did a "One Sheet Wonder" class.  What is a "One Sheet Wonder" you ask?  You create your own sheet of designer paper and cut it into many pieces to create 6 different cards — well 6 cards is what I created.  I had some help from fellow demonstrator Kelly Acheson — I love her grouping of cards so I changed mine up a bit — used an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Very Vanilla.
We filled the cardstock with lots of Paisleys and Posies in all different colors.
One Sheet Wonder
It's so pretty just like this — you could add some Touches of Textures to fill in more of the open spaces.  Once you are happy with your designer paper you will cut it according to the diagram.

Be sure you label the back of each piece with the card number.  It makes it so much easier when assembling your card.
Here is each card:

Isn't that awesome!!! 

Now change the colors and do it again — you'll get a completely different look.  I can't wait to try it with reds and greens and then add Christmas greetings.  There are a couple of my favorite Christmas greeting stamp sets on sale starting Tuesday.  These are "must haves" so be sure to come back on November 1st to check it out.
