Left Overs

If your stamping business is like mine you sometimes have people that don't show up. Since I mostly do stamp-a-stacks those few people end up being cards in multiples of 5. So if I plan on 10 in attendance and only 5 show then I end up with a lot of left overs.
"What do you do with your left overs when your cardstock is already cut?"
I just make the cards at my leisure and send them out for cards of encouragement or sell them. This week my buddy Kimmy has offered to sell some of my cards for me while she's selling raffle tickets. So here's a few of the cards that are 'Left overs' that I spent my "chillin' time" making.

Thinking of You

This was my first class teaching the ladies how to do 2 step stamping. They all fell in Love with the stamp-a-ma-jig and most have purchased their own by now. We also did a little paper tearing.
Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Wild Rose, All Year Cheer 3 (now retired)

From the Heart

There actually were not that many people that didn't show for this class. I loved this layout, colour combo and everything about this card so I purposely cut way too much so I would have some to send out to cheer up a few people I know goign through rough times right now.
