Kids Stamp Class

Last night I held a stamp class for kids!!!
I love these classes and it's been a long time since I've held one.
I had 15 kids — 5 boys and 10 girls.
They ranged in age from 3 1/2 to about 12.
It was such a BLAST!!!
Group
Here's everyone working away on their first project.
I used composition notebooks.
I covered them with Black cardstock so they were ready for the kids to create.
We made a Minion for the front cover.

Look how proud they are of their creations.

Here's the finished project.

Then we moved on to card making.
I used the one design layout and color scheme but I left them
choose one of three stamped images.
Isla
Look how hard she is concentrating.  She did SUCH a great job.

Here are the three cards they chose from.
Bella Card
Bella & Friends
Dino Great
No Bones About It
Pretty Kitty
Pretty Kitty

It was a pretty tough decision — the dinosaur won a few extra votes but all three stamp sets shared the love.

I can't wait to schedule my next Kids Stamp Class.
I'll have to start designing Christmas projects for them to make.
