Card Buffet: Sheltering Tree

sheltering-tree-1016I think fall has finally arrived….at least for a few days.   Fall here in Colorado has been crazy!  The temperature has been in the upper 70’s and even low 80’s most of the time.  Then, like today, we will get a high in the 50’s and 60’s which in book is where it should be!  I want jeans and sweatshirts!

OK…enough whining about the weather!  I originally designed this card for my card group at church to make.  We make cards for the church office to send out.  I like to keep the cards fairly easy since many of the gals aren’t experienced stampers.

It turned out to be perfect for my new class event:  The Card Buffet!  Yep.  I tried a new event this month.  This first Card Buffet of mine actually was a glorified Stamp-a-Stack.  I had designed 8 cards and my guests could make up to 3 of each card if they desired.  In a true Card Buffet a guest should be able to make as many of any design that they’d like.  With this being my first event though I had no idea how many of each card to cut.  Even though I didn’t cut as many as I could have I still had extras.  That’s ok though.  I did get a lot of positive feed back on the class though and will definitely do another one.  My guests enjoyed being able to pick and choose which cards they wanted to make.  #6monthstampingoals

6monthIf you’re wondering about the hashtag let me explain.  Back in April at Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event we all were challenged to hold one new event each month.  It was kind of fun trying to figure out what type of event to hold.  I did manage to rock my #6monthstampingoals so I’m pretty proud of myself.  I wonder if they’ll give us a new challenge at the November event?

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
