WOW Wednesday- March

WOW did not disappoint this month!  I had to postpone this class in early March.  Thankfully, we had a great turnout for class at the end of the month!  WOW class is designed for the advanced stamper…this month was definitely a challenge for even the seasoned ladies!  It’s fun to go outside the box and challenge ourselves and see what we can do with something as simple as stamps and paper!

Many of you ask if you can handle WOW class…I don’t always know how to answer, it can depend on the projects and how comfortable you are.

Sometimes wow is challenging…sometimes it’s simple, yet the end result can be simply “wow.”  So, I would say…if you are comfortable using stamps, ink, adhesive, scissors, scoring tools, big shot and understand the basics of stamping.  Wow might be for you.  If you can “speak” the language….knowing how to score, stamp off, 2 step stamping, etc, wow might be for you.

I don’t recommend wow to the beginning stampers, it can be a bit overwhelming and I hate for anyone to leave frustrated.  I have many classes suitable to beginners.  Join me, get your footing, make some projects and perhaps join us for wow once you feel comfortable.

I “teach” at wow class….so you don’t have to know how to make the particular the project on  your own….I am here to teach that to you during class!  But having a grasp on the stamping basics is very helpful!  Of course, attending with a knowledgeable stamping friend can be a big help too!

All of these projects came from other demos…we are blessed to have so many creative brains out there!  I do have video tutorials ready to go for the next three movie mondays!

Here is what we created:

If you missed March’s club….so sorry for you!  We played with the gorgeous glimmer paper!  It’s just so SPARKLY!!!!

Here is what we made:
