Birthday stamping

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with stamping!  My friend and fellow demonstrator Elizabeth Hart (check her blog out - http://spreadjoystamping.blogspot.com/) decided to invite some friends over for an evening of stamping to celebrate her birthday.  She had yummy food, cake & homemade ice cream for us too! We had so much fun!  Here's all the wonderful creations we made:

This was the first thing we made - a party hat using the Birthday Fiesta stamp set. Love the llama!  We all wore our hats for awhile - fun!

And because we weren't done with our fiesta...

I'm going to have to get this bundle now - these musical cacti are too cute!

Love this sweet cupcake! It's a bundle too - no need to fussy cut!

This has to be one of the cutest bundles in the annual catalog. It is bundled with a punch - makes it so much easier!

Then it was time for Halloween. Some made skeletons or vampires, I decided on the mummy. I thought he needed a bow tie.  There's a punch for this too and it's bundled with the Christmas set you'll see below.

This was a quick project using the new clear boxes.  You can't see it it in the picture but there's a piece of chocolate in the box!  These are great for little gifts or favors.

And finally it was time for Christmas. This is using the new popcorn box thinlit. We had to watch the Stampin' Up video to be sure we put the bottom of it together correctly.  It's like magic!

We crafted for almost 4 hours!  We did stop to have cake, ice cream & champagne!  It was so much fun - Elizabeth knows how to throw a party!
