Keep in mind that while you need to stamp each image here, you can actually put the cards together at home. You can also change the sentiment on most cards or wait to stamp your own sentiment on it when you get home. (In other words, you could make a thank you card a birthday card, etc...) You are welcome to buy as many of each card as you would like. Once you have told me a number however, <span style="color:#cc0000;">you are committed to buy that number</span>. This is due to the fact that I will have all paper cut and prepped for the SAS.</span> **IF FOR SOME REASON YOU CANNOT ATTEND THAT SATURDAY, I WILL STAMP YOUR CARDS FOR YOU AND HAVE THEM READY FOR YOU TO PICK UP AND PUT TOGETHER ON YOUR OWN TIME.**</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#009900;">* Some basic stamping knowledge is needed. </span></div><div><span style="color:#009900;">The following techniques will be used:</span></div><div><span style="color:#009900;">-Sponging edges (Card 1, Option A)</span></div><div><span style="color:#009900;">-Second Generation stamping (Card 4, daisy stamp)</span></div><div><span style="color:#009900;">-Direct-to-paper technique (rubbing cardstock on the inkpad to get colored edges) (Card 7)</span></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#ff6600;">*Because of the level of preparation needed prior to this event, PLEASE contact me with the number of cards you desire to make by 11-08-08.</span> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#6600cc;">*You are not required to make one of each card. You may choose only the cards you love and make multiple copies if that is what you prefer to do. (Please be aware that there may be some variation in the patterned paper that is used. I will do my best to keep it within the same color scheme.) I am asking that you commit to buying 10 cards (at $1 each). Keep in mind that if you make 4 or 6 of the same card and package them together, they make fabulous gifts. I will have gift finishing options for a minimal additional fee.</span> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#663333;">*If I have not heard from you by 11-08-08 your slot will be forfeited to someone else.</span> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#cc0000;">*If you were not able to sign up for the SAS and would like to be put on a waiting list, please leave a comment below or e-mail me at </span><a href="mailto:pnkjohn@yahoo.com"><span style="color:#cc0000;">pnkjohn@yahoo.com</span></a><span style="color:#cc0000;">.</span></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">*Please bring:<br />-Your own adhesive<br />-Paper crafting scissors (for trimming edges, etc.)<br />-Personal snacks and/or drinks (if desired)</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Please call me if you have any questions!</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">(575) 534-0242</span></div><br /><div>Card #1: Two options, please specify which one is desired (design credit to Wendie Waldman...Thanks Wendie!)</div><div>Option A:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiff4LBGS5gLXvDbaBwGZaoaWSDqv-s05JjW2bR1sJwL3B2avcThrx8aJWg6xXjOtntMMpLyWgtc0SEt1bwYVDW4JoGjK8bdpV_MWNF7v103pVrfsONqeIaxGtjAEIGMT96XAkDCkK-53Z7/s1600-h/163.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262689689605893618" style="DISPLAY: block;

We know you enjoy the flexibility of custom mounting your stamps, and with these die-cut sets, all you'll need to do is pop, peel, and place before you begin stamping.<br />Only our new stamps will be die cut; sets carried over from the last catalog and those on the dormant list will still require trimming. But, each new set will feature a die cut icon so you and your customers will have no problems identifying die-cut sets.</em> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Can I say WOOHOO!?!
