Valentine’s Week: STAMPING WITH KIDS

Posted on by Josee

Valentine’s Day is in 4 days…have you had your children stamp with you yet? My kids LOVE to stamp cards for their Dad and also some treats for their friends! I usually pick out a few stamp sets that they can use and then I allow them to pick their colours and I let them design it themselves. My son is not a big stamper, but, he does enjoy doing special cards here and there. His favourite part is hiding the card and seeing the person "find" it! It really gets him excited.

So, get your kids stamping with you!!!

Can I be the proud Mom for a minute?

Here is picture of my son stamping…can you see the intense concentration?! He has to get it just right!
 

Here’s the card he made for Dad:

Now my 8 year old daughter LOVES to stamp and loves to design her cards! Here’s the card she made AND designed! She even stamped the image…see how straight it is. 🙂 I’m so proud! She DOES love her glitter!

AND because the baby can’t stamp…I thought I’d share with you a cute photo of her sledding with us last weekend! It may look like we tortured her by the picture…but, I promise you…she really DID have fun! (We had quite the laugh watching her covering her face as she went down the hill!)

Thanks for letting me share a bit about my kids!!!

Valentine’s Week: I LOVE YOU CARD

Posted on by Josee

Valentine’s Day is only 5 days away…and I thought I’d share with you some Valentine’s Day stamping ideas each day this week! 

I think this card is quite adorable and creative. It was stamped by Karen Daley, a member of my team…the INKredible Canadian Stampers. I hosted a Sale-A-Bration swap last week and this was one of the great cards we received in the swap. (In case you didn’t know…a swap is like a cookie exchange…but we use cards! Thankfully, demonstrators don’t always have to come up with ideas ourselves…we definetely find inspiration from others!)

 

 

Here are the stamp sets Karen used to create this card:

Jumbo Outline Alphabet (Item #114998) $50.95

AND the "heart" is from the stamp set called Polka Dot Punches from  the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

Send a Card to a Friend Day is Feb. 7th

Posted on by Josee

Did you know that February 7th is Send a Card to a Friend Day? This is a such a great chance to get in touch with a friend. We all lead busy lives. It’s easy to let a friendship or two lapse, as we try to shuffle kids to and from events. It’s hard to stay in touch, when workload demands eat up countless hours.

Tomorrow is the perfect chance to send card to a friend.

Who are you going to send a card to?

p.s. Just a quick reminder that my BIG SHOT SPECIAL ends on Sunday Feb. 8th!!! If you missed my BIG SHOT BASICS VIDEO, make sure youcheck it out here!
