First Kids stamp class a hit

Remember I told you I was going to be starting an after school stamp club/class for some of the kids at the school I work for? Well originally I was going to do it at the school and I had half a dozen students who were interested in participating. I couldn't secure the liability insurance that the school district wanted so I asked the parents if they would be willing to bring their kiddos over to my house. I'm only a mile from the school, so this wasn't going to be too much out of anyone's way. They all agreed and we had our first class on Wednesday. 

Since these kids probably won't be buying any supplies from the actual catalog I decided to use up as much retired products as I can, including retired DSP. 

Here is the first card we did. 



This was a simple enough card for the kids to put together. The base was Calypso Coral card stock. The DSP is I believe Tea for Two, it came out in the spring catalog and I totally forgot I had ordered any of it so it sat unused. 

The greeting is again from my favorite greeting stamp set. Perfectly Penned. 

I used the same style card from the card I did last month and posted right here

The only difference really is that I didn't use any embellishments such as brads on this card. To give you an idea of the ages of the kiddos who are taking this class with me they range in age from Kindergarten to 4th grade. I have to make the cards easy enough for them to duplicate without losing interest and without being too difficult for them to do with very minimal amounts of instruction. 

Stop on by again to visit me on Monday and I'll share with you another of the cards that we made. Have a great weekend and Happy Stamping and Creating to you!
