So, I made these samples (http://stamp-shack.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=18125&ppuser=37) for a Christmas card stamp-a-stack gathering for 5 folks, only one of whom I know has stamping experience.
For a stamp-a-stack gathering, there are 5 different cards and they make 4 of each of them.
I got to thinking, based on some comments that were posted in the gallery, that these cards, while absolutely fabulous to make, might be a tad bit much for newbies.
The "celebrate" will be fine - so will the "joy". Do you think all that coloring on the "penguin" card will be a concern? I suppose if they don't finish it at the gathering they can take it home and color it there. The "holly package" card is a lot of stamping, but its all the same color and just random. The only thing a bit time consuming is getting the circle of stickles even since its almost 1/4" wide and done by hand. I will make sure that the 5th card is fairly simple - maybe versamark backgound and an ATC feature piece laid on top.
Opinions?
