My new Catalog Open House was such a fun evening of stamping and laughing with guests. Each guest received a gift of a Stampin' Up! foldable trash can ( everyone was delighted ). Inside the trash can I had tucked in 1/4 sheets of the new In-Colors and their supplies for the make&takes that evening. Attached to the trash can was a cute tag hand stamped by me.
Everyone was anxious to see the new catalog but I held off giving them out until they completed their make & takes. Everyone got to know one another as they stamped their cards. That is what I love about being a demonstrator~ making new friendships with my guests and experriencing them making new friendships through these types of events. I am always amazed at how many people actually have another perrson in common with someone they just met….it is a small world!!
The first make & take for the Open House was using the Everything Elenor stamp set and Summer Starfruit, a new In-Color. I also shared some cards using the remaining In-Colors and the same design as the one they made. I also explained to them that if they use a paper-saver technique I taught them they would be able to create a set of 16 cards of each In- Color with 1 multi-pack of In-Color 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock and 8 sheets of either Whisper White or Very Vanilla 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock. That is a total of 80 cards from 1 assortment pack!! I was happy that some of the guests had never seen this technique before! This is a great mono-chromatic card to give as gifts with a card holder. I would stamp a couple different verses on the tag, attach a few Stampin' DImensionals, to the place the recipient is to place the verse, to give them a few options when giving the cards.
This was the Make & Take
This is a sample of some assorted cards you can make using the Everything Elenor stamp set and 1 package of the 2012-2014 In-Colors.
Did you know?
That when you purchase all 5 in-Color Classic Pads you get a package of 8 1/2 x 11 In-Color cardstock for 20 cents ? How is that for helping make a few hand-made gifts a little bit more economical? You will find this great deal on page 82 of the New Catalog. Just look for "Card stock & Pad Kit" in the top row of the pictured items in the lower 1/2 of the page.
