Finding Joy in the Little Things…

I needed a quick easy non-card idea for an event I was doing this weekend and got the inspiration from SUDSOL (Simply Unique Demonstrators Sharing Online). The dedication of these volunteers is so incredible. SUDSOL helped me a lot as a new demo years ago looking for ideas and advice and I still use it today! On the SUDSOL mailing list,  Patti Scanlon helped a demo looking for a certain pattern, narrow down her search and since the links were there in her email… well, I was nosy! One of the links was three stamp camp ideas by a demonstrator in Columbus, Ohio named Connie Babbert (who has given me permission to reprint the directions). Thank you Connie! The fold over is 2 1/2 x 8 inches and scored at 2 1/2, 2 5/8, 5 1/2 & 5 5/8 inches.  The Word Window punch is the pocket opening of the bottom flap and the stamps are the Polka Dots & Paisleys stamp set, the Petals jumbo roller wheel and the decorator paper (Petals & Paisleys) is layered on So Saffron cardstock.  I embellished the cover with the Spring Bouquet flower punch. For SU demonstrators, the link directly to all three of her stamp camp projects is here, but you need to be a site member to view the page.  Luckily SU demonstrators try a two week free trial membership–you’ll be amazed by the wealth of patterns, templates and business ideas you will get. You may also get a lot of emails, LOL!
