This past Saturday we had another spectacular Birthday Stampin’ Blitz! Everyone had a fabulous making 20 Birthday cards and had a lively time visiting with friends! Here’s a review….. Next Blitz will be November with 20 Christmas cards.
It happens all in a day! Everyone comes in and gets settled in their place….with their seat cushion and work organization space, tools, ink pads and extra supplies needed.
They get a breakfast provided and start to work. You’ll see in the picture everyone got a birthday box with gifts and adhesives and little treats at their place with all 20 cards and envelopes neatly packaged for the days stamping.
I group everyone in groups of 6 with all stamps/dies at the table to share with your table mates. It’s a fun time of visiting, catching up, and sharing ideas and helping….and at least one of us….me, Camille, Hailey, or Elizabeth is always available for questions and help.
Along with the card stock all cut and ready for each card, I provide a tutorial with picture of each card along with access to a couple of sample cards to look at for each card to make.
Stampin’ Blitz is held at the Dallas Senior Center in Dallas, NC where there is plenty of room to move around and great lighting.
Lunch and Dinner are provided and at the end, we have a cupcake buffet as a sweet treat to reward the day of hard work stamping :)
And you have 20 cards to pull out and send to friends! I would come and stamp with me at one of my events before attending a Blitz just to get used to the flow.
And….here are a few of my favorite cards that were made at this year’s Birthday Blitz. I’ve included a copy of the tutorial for one of the cards.
Sentimental Park Bundle #160567
2023 Birthday Blitz
Refer to Nested Friends Bundle for card stock measurements (Card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/5, scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4 inches. Layer 2 x 5 3/8 Gold Foil with 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 inch Texture Chic DSP. There are 2 of these layers, one on each side of the card front.)
Layer DSP on to Fresh Freesia piece for card front
Also place the Fresh Freesia quarter sheet on the inside of card ( 4 x 5 1/4)
Stamp sentiments on the 2 die cut pieces of Fresh Freesia CS in Blackberry Bliss ink
Die cut 2 pieces of labels in Blackberry Bliss from Bundle and
Die cut 1 label with the flowers attached in Mossy Meadow CS
Next using all 6 of the small flower dies, die cut all 6 dies in Fresh Freesia CS and all 6 dies in Pale Papaya CS
Using your Sponge Daubers, sponge a little color on each of the flowers
Attach one of the Blackberry Bliss labels to the Mossy Meadow layer and then attach the flowers
Attach a few of the flowers to the die cut Fresh Freesia inside sentiment label
Finish by adding a Champagne Rhinestone to the solid flowers
Be sure to attach the Blackberry Bliss label with Stampin’ Dimensionals so it acts as a stopper for the card front
When attaching the card front flower label, center left and right and
only put dimensionals on the bottom 2/3rds so it will stand up above the center fold of card front
