Shadow Box Card

This Shadow Box Card is one we made at our Techniques Class this week. I saw this on Dawn Griffith's blog and thought it was a great way to showcase one of our Level 1 Hostess stamp sets that you can earn FREE when you host a Minimum $150.00 workshop.

You can either hold this workshop in my home or you can turn it into a "book" party - gathering orders from friends without the obligation of an evening out. Both these type have been very successful with my clients.

Here is another shadow box card I made for my friend Laura for Valentines Day using the Love You Much Stamp Set #113756 $

You can find the tutorial how to make these fun Shadow Box Cards on Split Coast Stampers by clicking HERE.

So For Now...

Happy Stamping!!

Hostess Appreciation Night 2011

Last week I had a HOSTESS APPRECIATION NIGHT for all the ladies who had a workshop with me in 2010. To qualify to come to the Hostess Appreciation Night they had to have had a workshop in their home or mine or they could do a "book" party, but to qualify this way they needed at least one order besides their own order on the workshop.
10 ladies qualified and 9 were able to attend.
What fun we had!!! (and three signed up to have another workshop this year!)

The ladies made over a gift bag to carry their goodies home in


plus they made this cute mini candy bar holder that I saw on Dawn Griffith's blog

and then they made this beautiful portfolio with 6 matching cards.

They could add whatever sentiment they wanted to each card and the front or they could make a bunch of sentiments up and put them in this little baggie so they could give it as a gift and the receiver could add whichever sentiment worked best for her card giving.
Thanks to...Naomi Ball for her card layout idea, but I can't remember where I first saw the portfolio tutorial. I have used it several times with a variety of stamps.

My space is tight but the ladies don't seem to mind, they just enjoy being together.



Virgina is one of the ladies who signed on to be a demonstrator last year and she is doing a GREAT job!!

We played a game to see how well the ladies knew their Stampin' Up! catalog and idea book, and a lot of prizes were given away for things like ... Highest Sales...Most Guests...Most Bookings, etc.

What a joy it is to be with these wonderful ladies each month. I am so very thankful to be doing something that I truly enjoy.

So sign up now to have a workshop with me in my home or yours or you can do a "book" party and you will qualify to come to next years Hostess Appreciation Night.

So For Now...

Happy Stamping!!
