Hello Darling: Stamping with the Boys

We were on our annual Northern Minnesota vacation this weekend.  As usual, I bring a limited number of stamping supplies along, as I never know if I'll get the urge or time to make a few cards.  Well, the boys wanted to make a card, so we started stamping with a couple of brand new Stampin' Up! stamp sets…Hello Darling and Life's an Adventure (Hostess).  Check out the results…

 Here's my card – used parts from a past card buffet kit.

Max's card – seriously working in the inside.  Below is the card front

Sammy's card – getting the greeting just right!

Well-loved stamps!  This used to bother me when I first started stamping 12 years ago.  But now it's a sign of happy times.  A "dirty" stamp is a happy stamp!

Some of these supplies were from a couple of leftover card kits.  I didn't even bring a paper trimmer.  Can't remember the last time I hand cut card layers – like I did for the greeting layer on this card (not bad, huh?).  Guess you really don't need much to make a card after all.  This was a great challenge that turned out to be tons of fun.  Of course, anytime I stamp with the boys it's a special time!

Enjoy~Dawn O
