Stamp Camp is coming!!

Hello Stampers!
It is that time of year where we host our annual Stampin Up Holiday Stamp Camp. Before I became a demo this was a highlight for me! I got to chat with Stampin friends (new and old), see AMAZING projects, and create new ones.

WHEN: Saturday, October 15th, from 10:15 am to 2:45pm
WHERE: Aurora Church of the Nazarene (ACN)
I will send you a confirmation with the directions after you register.

For only $35 you will have a great day of fun plus all these extras!
• All of the supplies and handouts you will need to complete 6 projects.
• A $15.00 Gift Certificate (to be redeemed that day for Stampin’ Up! Merchandise)
• Lots of door prize drawings
• Optional card swap (Make several cards of the same design and bring them to trade.)
• Beautiful samples, bring your camera and your catalog if you already have one

Some logistics:
• A treat will be provided, but please bring lunch or whatever you need to be the most comfortable. We will be allowing a half hour break.
• Please bring your own adhesive and scissors, this contributes to your efficiency and we’ll maintain our high standard of teaching and paper crafts.
• If you are planning on coming with a group of friends, please register together. (Contact me so I can get you together on the list while I wait for your confirmation checks to arrive.)

To secure your place for a day of crafting just call me at 425-503-6980, email me melissa_chapman@comcast.net or complete the form below and mail it with your check (made out to me) for $35.00. Please feel free to make copies of this invitation to share with your friends who may also be interested in attending. Reservations should be received by September 24th, but we continue to take stampers until the camp date, or until we’re completely full. I will send you a confirmation card after you register.

Happy Crafting!!

Goin Hybrid!

We hosted a graduation party for my daughter and I wanted to send out something to her guests that showcased her time in school. I could have cut all the photos out individually but really didn't want to worry about lining them up in a straight line so I went digital!! We had a tough time narrowing it down to only 16! I wanted it to have a photo from each year of school but she had other ideas, in the end she won because, it was after all, her party.

Here is what I did digitally:
•Size your 16 photos into 1"x1" squares
•Start you canvas at 5" x 5 1/4"
•Line your 1" photo's around the outside to create a border.
•Print the project out on 5x7 photo paper (trim off the white)

Here is where the paper came in:
•Cut your card base @ 5 5/16 x 5 6/16
•Cut your grad cap @ 3x3
•Cut the invite 3x6 (fold in half)

Create your tassel. I took embroidery floss wrapped it around my first three fingers 50 times. Slid it off your fingers and insert a 4 inch strip inside the circle. Tie a knot at the top. Tie a 4 inch strip around the "neck" of the tassel. Cut the bottom and trim as needed.
Putting it together!

Adhere the photo card to your card base. Glue down the 3x6 paper into the middle of the photo card. Attach your tassel using a mini brad. glue the hat top to the folded 3x6 card and you have a Graduation invites! If you would like to try out going digital give me a call and we can set up a class to learn MDS from Stampin' Up!

Happy Creating!
