It was all a dream...

I have been really challenging myself lately to actually spend time creating cards/scrapbook pages rather than just thinking or blog surfing about cards/scrapbooking. My aim is to spend some time each day physically papercrafting. It doesn't have be long, it just has to be something...

The result of this seems to be that I am now dreaming about papercraft. Two nights in a row I dreamt of a card with the sheep from the Pun Fun set stamped all in a row and mounted onto a Kraft card base. After the second dream I decided that it really was time to try to make the card...and the results are below.

I was actually really happy with how it turned out and even went looking on the web for it because I couldn't believe I dreamt it up and thought I must have copied it from somewhere...but no, I think I really dreamt it up!

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Pun Fun

Ink: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red marker

Cardstock: Kraft, Riding Hood Red, Washington Apple DSP

Accessories: Scallop Border Punch, Small Heart Punch, Dazzling Diamonds, Jumbo Grommet, Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon

Stamp-a-stack Projects

As promised, here are some snaps of the projects we worked on yesterday at the Stamp-a-stack (SAS). The idea of a SAS is to build up your stock of cards by having a mini-production line. Yesterday's class consisted of 10 cards (3 designs) with the focus on buildong our stock of gender neutral cards.

The first card (below) is a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) from Split Coast Stampers though I am very naughty and do not remember the person who posted it to give them credit. Edited to add: all credit for this design goes to Kimberly Joy on the SCS website...


Next are two designs based on sketches from Clean and Simple Stamping. This site is a great resource which I highly recommend.

As you can see each card is simple enough that we were able to complete 10 cards in the allocated 2 hours, with time to spare for lots of chatting and snacking, of course. I hope all the girls had a nice afternoon, I know I certainly did...

Happy Stampin'
