What is a Kit Together? Well first it’s a lot of fun! It is an opportunity to get together and stamp every other month – buy a kit or bring a paper pumpkin kit with you and enjoy gathering together and stamping and visiting with other stampers!

Last week I held my second Kit Together and we stamp and made some lovely cards from the City Sights, Garden of Thanks, Expressions of Kindness, and Hello Hollyhocks card kits!

Here are some photos from that Kit together and of the cards we made!

Each kit comes with full color instructions and all of the materials to make the 8-9 cards or crafty items! This is the instruction sheets for my City Sights card kit.
Here are the cards I made according to the instructions.
This is a fun fold alternative card that I made out of the supplies provided and by adding a Misty Moonlight base cardstock piece!
I made this card using an alternative sentiment for one of the participants that needed a masculine graduation card!
These are the cards made from the Expressions of Thanks card kit. I love the envelopes that come with this set and the gorgeous artwork on both the cards and envelopes!
These are the cards made from the Hello Hollyhocks card kit!
Cannot wait to see you at the next kit Together on September 30th from 1-3pm you will want to order a kit of your choice by 9-16-24 to make sure it arrives in plenty of time and RSVP and bring it along! You can email you RSVP to me at nataliestamps@aol.com and I can help you order a kit if you need assistance. If you decide to come after that date I will have a few kits available to purchase that day but if you want to choose your kit – go online and order from the whole selection at https://natalestamps.stampinup.net

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are inspired to create your own artwork – one stamp at a time!

library card class – a success

One of the things I like best about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is not the discount or being first to see and play with new product but the joy of watching people find their creative spirit in the art of creating something beautiful. That is what happened on Wednesday for my first card class in Western PA. The last year has been consumed with packing, moving, demolition and remodeling and I missed stamping with others. I was still stamping and creating (which I love) posting cards and tutorials on line, doing videos and hostessing classes on line but I missed the interaction between myself and other stampers. I missed teaching – and although I was rusty it was a success.
How could I tell it was a success – I left with VERY inky fingers and a lot of smiling faces of strangers that became friends and started to believe in their creative abilities!

Here are some pictures from the event and we have already scheduled the next two card classes!

January 25th 1-3 pm – we will begin the year with a Valentine’s card and 3 birthday cards for your friends and family’s upcoming special occasions. 2 cards for $5 all 4 cards for $10

February 22nd 1-3pm we will continue to learn new techniques and make some thank you and birthday cards 2 cards for $5 all 4 cards for $10

Here are the four card samples that we made together – all participants left with current catalogs, a four page tutorial for the cards we made, cards with envelopes and very big smiles!

Hope to see you all at the card classes in the new year!

It’s amazing the art you can create – one stamp at a time!
