I held a Stamp Camp at my house a couple weeks ago for one of my friends and wanted to share what we made with you. I enjoy spreading the love of stamping and what you can do with paper to others and find it such a shame that Switzerland does not have more products like Stampin' Up...! There is a HUGE market for this type of crafty goodness in Switzerland and I think SU! would do very well if they would make the decision to come into the country (they already have operations in Germany, France and the UK... so why not Switzerland????).
One thing that I introduced to the class was the use of a Sizzix embossing machine that one of my friends loaned me. OH MY GOODNESS...I LOVE THAT MACHINE!!! It takes a plain old piece of paper and turns it into something beautiful with only the turn of a crank! The Smile card below, as well as the birdy note pad use the embossing plates for the background and I just love the look it gives to them. Guess what I am getting for my birthday in a few weeks....!

| This is my favorite card that we made. Can you see the birds that are embossed on the brown background? |
 |
| They all had fun creating their own balloon card using a variety of papers from my scrap box. |
 |
| The old maps are actually a set of paper placemats I found one time. They are perfect for more "manly" cards. |
Below are a few photos of the class participants.

| Let the creativity flow! |

Happy stamping!
