Birthday Fun!

Birthday's are always fun, but doesn't a stamping birthday party sound like extra fun!?

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with a 7 year old and her friends! They had a blast stamping 3 cards. It is always exciting watching the creativity kids have...and the adults too!

The birthday girl (or boy) gets a little gift from me too! Here is a picture of the gift Charlottle received from me. A special little package filled with goodies that she will be able to use to create her own cards for friends and family.

I do have different birthday packages available, so if your special creative one would love to have a stamping birthday party, please contact me at staceysstampingstudio@shaw.ca for more information. My stamping birthday parties are great for 6 years olds to teens. The younger kids will have fun stamping cards and your teen might like a "bling-bling" party...glitter, glitz, and sparkle!~ The birthday party on the weekend also included goodie bags. Here is a picture of the goodie bags(Apricot Appeal colour was for the girls, the Mellow Moss for the boys).

Here is another picture of the purse bag for a better look!

Let me help you prepare a birthday party your child will enjoy and remember! Contact me today to reserve a date for your child's special day!

Happy celebrating!

Swappin' Time Again!

It is time once again for the demonstrator's within our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's team to swap cards that they created. I have only missed one swap and that was the last swap....and of course...I totally regret it. The cards were amazing!

Well, this time I am not missing out! Here is my swap card. My card features the new Neighbourhood Jumbo Wheel. I coloured in the images using the blender pen dipped into the ink on the lid, the aqua painter using the same method to create the grass, and I also used Stampin' Write Markers here and there! The Welcome Tag on the bottom of the card was stamped using the Welcome from the Warm Words stamp set and the small and large oval punches and the Key Tag punch frame it. I used stampin' dimensional to mount the "welcome tag". Using the hand-held rectangular punch, I punched on either end of the Key Tag punch. Then I used the new and fabulous(might I add), white Taffata ribbon by sliding it through the punched out openings. The ribbon is so easy to work with and it is incredibly soft! A little bit of luxury!

The original reason I purchased the Neighbourhood Wheel was because a new Neighbor just moved into neighbourhood! I wanted a special card to welcome her. As I just received the Wheel on Friday and therefore just finished the cards last night, I will give her the card this week. I liked how the card turned out so I decided to make this card for my swap card. I chose the So Saffron colour for the main card stock as well as one of the houses as that is the colour of Cassandra's new house.

Welcome to the neighbourhood and to BC Cassandra!

Happy Stampin'!
