February Stamp-a-Stack Creations - Children's Birthday Cards

As most of you know, I hold classes twice a month at my house.  One of those classes is a Stamp-a-Stack based around a particular theme, and the other is a Technique class.  Our February stamp-a-stack class went really well, and was based around the theme 'Children's Birthday Cards'.  We were also able to finish a Valentine's day project as well. 

My regulars had a sook about the fine cutting on one of the cards, but after a stern talking to (I lovingly told them to suck it up lol).  A lot of fun was had by all.

So after all of the cutting, the stamping, the colouring and the sticking, everyone went home with a small stack of Birthday cards. 

Here are the cards that everyone made.  I hope you like them.

I seem to do this design for a lot of children's cards.  It is very simple, just stamp and colour.  I guess the kids love this as it is so bright and colourful.  And it has balloons.  One day I'll figure out why kids love balloons so much.  I always keep a packet of balloons in the cupboard so they can play with.

Now those of you who know me, know that I am not really into scrapbooking, not because I don't like it, I simply just haven't given it a go.  In Stampin' Up's! Main Catalogue is a beautiful little scrapbook layout which uses the Wild About You stamp set.  I decided to take that, and transform it into a card.  I chose really bright colours, and I am very happy with the way it turned out (this was the one everyone whined when it came to cutting).  I hope you like it.

Now we couldn't have a February class without making a Valentine's Day card.  I came up with something very simple and to the point and I used the standard "love" colours.

Great cards, Kris - and I LOVE the Wild About You one. You're right, your customers should just 'suck it up'; all the cutting's SO worth it!
