This is a layout inspired by the Soapbox Creations blog. Another great way to use up soon to be retiring InColor card stock!

  At last, another card that uses current sets! This is a cute little package concept from the Simplicity blog and an easy, enchanting workshop make and take.Sometimes just letting the stamps be the stamps and the paper be the paper is the best course of action, eh?

Playing with more retired sets. Sorry! This one uses textured Neutrals white card stock for the base and Whisper White for the elevated layer. The oval "vase" is elevated with Dimensionals as well. This could be easily adapted for a make and take.Sorry it's blurry. Try to recreate it, you'll love it in hand!!!!

I am thrilled to be able to trade stamps with those who share this wonderful hobby. Sometimes we just want a new look but need to stay on a budget! I was able to trade an old stamp set of mine for this cute little Very Punny set! Sadly, it is retired from the current collection but it has so much character! A very simple make and take notecard is shown here.

Here is another simple card that can be made from a Starter Kit. You are able to customize stamp sets and colors in your Starter Kit according to your tastes which is another great advantage to the purchase. Loads of Love is a set in which you can use the 2-Step Stampin' technique to build your own custom image. Loads of Love has two coordinating wheels and a few other add-on stamp sets available for purchase. I love its versatility. This would be a great make and take for a workshop or a way to demonstrate heat embossing by replacing the black ink with Versamark and black embossing powder.

I'm so excited to share the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! catalog with you! This is one card that will be your make-it-and-take-it. It is my modification of the "My Friend Card" in the July Workshop Wizard. The only other item I added to the recipe was a touch of Stampin' Pastels. I depend on the Workshop Wizard to keep my workshop preparation easy and fun. You can modify layout, stamps and papers to your liking. It is one of the most awesome perks of being a demonstrator.

A quick snapshot of what I demo'd for Sale-a-Bration this year. The little candy holder was the make and take. I'll post these individually soon.

One of the best things about stamping...the card swaps!! My Regional 2011 Swap: A three pack! They are so simple, you can just re-create them by looking. I wanted to show a good make-and-take idea. It also works for Sale-a-Bration and Hostess benefit promotion.

Certainly Celery, Elegant Eggplant paper and ink Forest Friends and Sincere Salutations sets A great make-and-take!

A StazOn and Blender Pen make-and-take that I did with the men at work for Valentine's Day. Also used were the paper piercing tool and a Stampin' Write marker. The inside was stamped in black with "Love grows all around" from the Blowing Kisses set.
