We will be making Easel Cards which sit up for nice displaying but lay flat for posting.

Come along for a fun night of stamping and leave with 10 lovely creations.

Cost is $15 or $18 with envelopes.

January Stamp a Stack
































Special Folds


My first stamp a stack for 2010 will have the theme of "Specially folded cards".

The first type (left) is called a "gatefold card" and opens up from the middle with two flaps on either side. It is held together by tucking underneath the oval sentiment. We will use blender pens and watercolours (optional) for matching your stamps to your card colours.

The second style is a "triangle trifold card" and opens on the diagonal, held together by ribbon.

We will be making 5 of each style on the night. The colours will be varied. If you have a colour preference, if you let me know early enough I can get you the colours you like and possibly the patterned paper you prefer as well (for the trifold card).

In both cases the stamps used are interchangeable allowing different styles of cards to be made on the night.

Come along for a relaxing night of stamping/socialising.

Hope to see you there!

Date - Monday 25th January 2010
Time - 7.30
Cost - $15 or $18 including envelopes which you can stamp to match your cards
RSVP - 11th January 2010 to give me time to order and make up packs

These were the cards we made at the November 09 stamp a stack class. The left was a variable card - different colours and patterned paper in order to make a variety of different types of cards.

October Stamp a Stacks

October stamp a stack is approaching and we will be doing one sparkly glittery Christmas card (well 5) and 5 more sombre get well/sympathy cards.

Of course the cards can be modified to make them whatever you want them to be! Date of stamp a stack is 1st of October, same time, same place.


Baby / baptism cards











These first two cards are based on the same layout as the September stamp a stack cards, just with a bit of extra embellishment.


They all use the Nursery Necessities stamp set, with the first two using the current hostess paper pack.

September Stamp A Stack

I can't believe it is almost September already!

We have one Christmas card and one non Christmas project as discussed at the last Stamp night.

See below for the cards. The kids cards in the wagon are all made with the same ingredients and layout but look so different using different papers, stamps and punches. This will let you do your own thing a bit more than previous months if you wish. They don't even need to be kids cards, it could easily be adapted for any other occasion.

The Christmas card has embossing, nice Christmas paper and ribbon.
