Kids ages 6 - 14 (with an adult) are welcomed to join me on Saturday, December 13th from 10am - noon for the 1st Annual Christmas Kid Camp! Your child will create 2 of each of the gift tags shown below. The camp fee is $15 and includes all supplies to make these fun Christmas character gift tags plus, hot chocolate and Christmas cookies! Space is limited. Prepayment is required and nonrefundable. Please register by December 10th by clicking the PayPal link below.
We had so much fun at Sunday's stamp camp! I showed how easy it is to create decor for an entire party, down to the gift packaging and card! Campers recieved the Party Hearty stamp set, Windsor Knot designer series paper, 1" Chocolate Chip double-stitched grosgrain ribbon, and all of the supplies to create the projects below!
Cover your white gift sack with designer series paper and a cute tag!
Here is everything we made - a bag, a covered water bottle, a drink mix pouch, cupcake picks, a card, Hershey Nugget triangle boxes, a dressed up photo album, and take home cupcake box! I just love how everything matches - it's so easy to do with Stampin' Up! coordinating colors!
I found these albums at WalMart for $1! All I did was cut the dsp to fit inside and embellish the outside. I covered the chipboard frame with Old Olive Craft ink. Stamp the cupcake image with Stampin' Write markers. Emboss the entire image using Clear embossing powder for a shiny finish to your cupcake!
Isn't this card the cute? It was inspired by Artisan Award winning demonstrator, Michelle Hopp. The pennant was made with the party hat image from the Party Hearty stamp set. I did put my own little spin on it using the cupcake image.
Start by stamping the cupcake in Sage Shadow and cut out. Clean and stamp the cupcake image again in Chocolate Chip, cutting out just the "icing". Ink up the entire "icing" image with VersaMark. Dip in Heat & Stick Powder. Heat using your Heat Tool. The image will be tacky enough to hold the White Chunky Essentials glitter. Attach to Sage Shadow cupcake with a Stampin' Dimensional. It looks like sugar sprinkles on a chocolate cupcake!
The cupcake picks were so easy! Stamp the party time image from the Perfect Timing stamp set. Punch out with the 1 1/4" Circle punch. Punch coordinating mats with the 1 3/8" Circle and Scallop Circle punch. Attach circles to scallop with Pop Up Glue dots. Shove a toothpick into the glue dot and insert into cupcake! Cute as pie, or cupcake (hehe)!
For sweet goodbyes, you can make these cute little cupcake to go boxes. Same box made from the Scallop Envelope Bigz die I showcased before, I just used a different set and colors. Click here for details. The message on the inside says "you take the cake". I know, goofy, but cute!
To add the little "candies" to the cupcake, dot the top with Crystal Effects and dip into the Silver Micro Beads.
Make these cute little triangle pouches to hold Hershey Nuggets. We also wrapped each nugget with scrap dsp. Close with a snipit of 1/4" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon
I used a 9"x 2 1/2" strip of dsp to wrap around a water bottle and made this cute little drink mix pouch. The pouch was inspired by another Artisan Award winning demonstrator, Mary Jo Albright. I tried to find a drink mix to match, the closest I found was Country Time lemondade.
I hope this inspires you to create a Soiree to Remember! Or, I'd be happy to consult for any occasion, contact me for details.
On Wednesday, July 16th eight girls between the ages of 6 and 13 attended my first Kid's Camp. The girls had a great time and learned some basic stamping techniques. Moms were there to help the girls create 4 different projects. Kids love to stamp. If your son or daughter would like to attend the next camp (or, purchase the Kid's Camp "On the Go" kit), please leave a comment on this post or email me. As soon as the next one is scheduled, you'll be the first one I contact.
