Hi everyone!
Check out that title – can you say that fast?!

This is the project that I taught at my team’s stamp camp on the weekend.  I was the first teacher up on Friday night (lucky me, got the nerves out of the way right off the bat and was able to enjoy being a student for the rest of the weekend!).  Thanks so much to Jacque, Paula, Delys and Vicky-Lee for their fabulous projects.  I think all the attendees had a ball, as I certainly did!  I didn’t get a lot of sleep at the camp (as so often happens – grown women can giggle together all night chatting just as well as teenagers can!) but came home so inspired and happy.  Thank you to everyone who took part and made the weekend a total success!

My project was a box that I designed to fit a decorated note pad, with some coordinating foldback clips, eraser, paperclip bookmarks, pen, and a teeny box of thumb tacks (also decorated to match!).  There was quite a bit of cutting involved in the prep work, but it was all worth it to hear that the ladies really liked my project and I had a lot of fun chatting with them while they put it all together.  The featured stamp set was the Sweet Summer Sale-a-Bration set, and I used the Sunny Garden DSP as the colour inspiration.

Oh and for the lovely ladies in Waihi I met a few weeks back, this was similar to the one I designed for them – I may share that one in a future blog post.

If you’re in Auckland (or you can get here easily!) and you’d like to make this yourself, I’m offering it up as my first “SOS” class for the year!  “SOS” stands for “Stamping Other Stuff” and basically will be when I schedule classes to make whatever takes my fancy at the time.  It could be a set of cards or some other fun project.  SOS classes could well be the class to come to if you’re in need of a quick gift for someone!  Those of you who know me, know that I love to make boxes and decorate 3D items.  If you have requests for projects you’ve seen elsewhere, do let me know!  I’ll also be holding my popular technique classes again this year, keep an eye on my class schedule on the sidebar. 

Classes will usually be held at my home in East Tamaki (I say Botany Downs, really, as we are close to the mall!).  Here are the details for the Stationery Set SOS class:

– When: Sunday 20th February, start time 2pm, finish probably around 5pm
– Where: My house (if you haven’t been before, I’ll give you the address when you book)
– Class fee: $20 payment in advance to book your space please – seats will be limited
– $5 discount off the class fee if you place a minimum $50 order on the day (remember you can also earn a free Sale-A-Bration stamp set with a $120 product order!).  My previous blog post offer of a free magazine or sample from my clearance basket with a minimum $50 order still applies, too!

I’ll also rustle up a little afternoon tea for you to enjoy at the end of the class.  If you’ve come to a class here before, you’ll know that something sweet or chocolatey usually does feature, whether it be in a lolly cup on the table or as the afternoon tea afterwards!  I have a weakness for baking, as well as stamping…
