I had my Stamp Class tonight. Gosh, it feels like ages and ages since I've actually stamped anything. With everything that's been going on lately, I guess it has been a month or so. Anyway, I knew I had this class coming up and I needed to get some projects ready for it. It was a nice feeling to forget about my problems and spend some quality time in my stamp room for a change. (Sorry the pictures aren't great. I was having battery issues.)

The theme this month was a One Sheet Wonder. I had found a great OSW design on my friend Diane's from the Stamp With Diane blogsite. I had originally planned to center the whole class around this project, but I finally decided that it was a little too complicated and time consuming cut up all the pieces and do all the prep work. Instead, I made a set of samples and let them pick their favorite few to make and then I gave them the instructions, along with the cardstock to make their own set.

Aren't these designs gorgeous? I think this Ginger Blossom paper is so pretty and it looks great with these colors. River Rock, Cameo Coral and Ruby Red have never been favorite colors of mine. In fact, I didn't even have ink pads of them, so I had to buy some stuff. But they do look fabulous here and it's a great way to get a nice supply of cards in a very short time.

I also showed them a different kind of OSW. This is one where you make several identical projects instead of different ones out of a single sheet of cardstock. At my last downline meeting, they handed out patterns for both 12 X 12 and 8.5 X 11 sheets to make these cute gift cards in a monochromatic color scheme. This is the 8.5 X 11 version. I think these are great. They whip together quick as a wink and you could do them in a ton of colors and patterns for any occasion.

The 3D project I taught was this cute birthday magnet. You know all those fridge magnets that companies always give out? I thought it would be fun to use one of them to make this quick and easy project. These would also be nice for any kind of invitation because they could just slap them on the fridge for a quick reminder.
