Card Class - The Maine Stamper

Christmas Stamp Camp 2023, Hermon Maine

Taking time to make handmade cards and gifts that you will share with family and friends makes the holiday season so much better. Come to my Christmas Stamp Camp and get a head start on your creations with ideas that you can use over and over again.

I am so excited to share the details of this with you. While I am keeping the cards and projects we will be making a secret for now (oh the anticipation…), please know that I put a lot of thought and creativity in unique and clever items for you to paper craft with. I would love to see you at this Christmas Stamp Camp to join in on all the fun!

Saturday, October 28, 9:30-4:30

The Christmas Stamp Camp will be held at the Lynde Lodge #174, 2500 Route 2, in Hermon Maine. The Lodge is next door to the Hermon Baptist Church. There is limited seating for this Christmas Stamp Camp, so reserve your spot while it remains available.

Bring your basic card making kit and plenty of adhesive. But if you run out of sticky stuff, I will have more available for you to purchase!

Creativity Session Like No Other

In it you will find a decorative magnetic name tag, a booklet with printed PDF project tutorials, your Make & Take packets for 10 handmade items (8 cards and 2 projects), and door prize and grand prize raffle tickets.

Pick a spot to unpack and relax, supply baskets for each project will come to you as you are ready for them. You will have samples and your booklet as guidance in creating (plus me!).

At your seat, welcome gifts await! There is nothing as wonderful as surprise and delight…

Recently Retired But Still Fabulous!

Did you get a chance to earn the Corner Bouquet Stamp Set for free with a qualifying $50 purchase during the January-February 2021 Sale-A-Bration period? If not, it is too late…Sale-A-Bration is over and this set is retired.

This stamp set may be short on sentiments, but it is big on everything else! The Corner Bouquet Stamp Set is versatile, easy to use and timeless. All you need to do is take a look at the tremendous amount of card samples using this set, and inspiration will certainly strike!

Corner Bouquet Stamp Set Samples

Card samples using Corner Bouquet Stamp Set

An easy way for you to duplicate card patterns and create unique looks is to start by stamping your image on 3 different pieces of color cardstock. Next, cut the stamped paper in thirds. Finally, rearrange them on each card front “puzzle style” to recreate the main image.

For the card samples shown above, I used the largest stamp image with Versamark Ink (item #102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (item #109132). Then, I heat set it with my Heat Tool (item #129053).

Card sample in neutral colors using Corner Bouquet Stamp Set

My next sample is done in neutral colors. I used Merry Merlot as a pop of color. For this card, I used the rest of the stamps in this great set. It really proves that all of the stamps in this set have value.

Did you notice that the sentiments in my cards are similar? The new Double Oval Punch from the January -June 2021 Mini Catalog is a must have! You will be able to create layers so easily using it. Or you could use each oval shape as a stand alone accent piece.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Even though you are unable to earn this item for free now that Sale-A-Bration has ended, I am offering a very limited quantity of new Corner Bouquet Stamp Sets as part of a card making class. The stamp sets have not been previously used, and are not “sticker” assembled.

My class has several options. You may purchase the Stamp Set and Card Kit option, and choose to create 3 different cards using the Corner Bouquet Stamp Set local in Maine with me. Or you can have the stamp set and card kit shipped, and view assembly directions online.

If you already have this stamp set, just order the card kit. Again, you can join me in person, or have your kit shipped and create with me from the comfort of your own home.

The cards we will be making will differ from the samples shown above. By joining the class you will learn more creative ways to use this stamp set. For more details, click here. Hope to see you soon for class!
