Amped-Up Stamp Camp

Because June’s in-studio Stampin’ Style class coincided with the release of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog a party was in order!  The party’s them was Amped-Up Stamp Camp.  I designed these postcards at canva.com for the invitations.  If you want to get technical it is a circus tent but remember this camp was Amped-Up!

STAMP CAMP POSTCARDStampers were welcomed to camp and greeted by this adorable banner that I created using the Chalkboard Banner Simply Created Kit.  It made for some cute photo booth pics!  The Chalkboard Banner kit is now retired but Stampin’ Up! has a new Build a Banner Kit to replace it.

You can’t have camp without roasting something on a stick over an open fire right?  I was unable to get away from the idea of food on a stick and settled for fruit kabobs!  And, because we needed to keep our energy up, I fancied up a tin can then filled it to the rim with Monster Trail Mix.

I think Amped-Up Stamp Camp was a success!  Comments overheard:

  • “I am having such a good time coming to your classes.  Good therapy for me.”
  • “I really love to come – so much fun for me!”
  • “This was fun.  I need to be more intentional and take time for myself more often.”

We made four gorgeous cards and a bonus 3-D project.  Every camper received a cute book mark slipped inside their copy of the new catalog.

There was a “sack race” with a prize for the winner at the end of class and there was also a drawing for this set of five cards with matching envelopes using the new Stampin’ Up! In-Colors, the You’ve Got This stamp set and the new Envelope Paper.

I’m already working on next month’s class.  Think sun screen and flip-flops.  If you’re in the Kansas City area I would love to have you stamp with us!  Email me for more information:  Leslie@theplaidpoodle.com  In the mean time make sure you click on the link to the new catalog and check out the new stuff!!!
