Last Friday I held my first Stamp Doctor night, where guests were invited to bring along their ‘stamping maladies’ (products they’d purchased but struggled to use). As this was my first time holding the clinic, I’d asked for advance warning of the stamp sets they were planning to bring.
Only two people wanted to bring sets, and their problems turn out to be In The Meadow (one of my favourites!) and Mixed Drinks (which, fortunately, Kelly has). Between us we created the following projects for the ladies to make on the night.
My projects incorporated watercolouring, as it’s one of my favourite techniques; also it’s very soothing, and therefore must be good for the health!
The first project (above) I CASEd from Jennifer Frost; I love the way the mountains provide the perfect backdrop to the deer.
The second was inspired by
Connie Babbert. The masking really makes this card, in my opinion. But I also thought that some people love watercolouring as much as I do, so may prefer to spend more time on this technique. For those ladies, I created this project, CASEd from
Michelle Zindorf, and which can be created from the same kit as the card above.
Meanwhile, over at the Mixed Drinks table, Kelly had used clean and simple repeat stamping to make these fab samples.
The kits were provided in bags with these fun labels, which I created in Canva and, even if nobody else appreciated the joke, they cracked me up so it was worth it. And no, I didn’t wear a lab coat… although I now have one on order for the next clinic!
After a few hours of stamping and laughing, everyone went away happy, which just proves that crafting is the best medicine!
