Just a quick post today, to show you a card I made for the students at my school to make on the last day of term before the summer holidays. I had to find something that would appeal to ages 9-13, both boys and girls, and these stamps from Woodware certainly came up trumps. I needed something that was possible for complete beginners to make in an hour and a half at most and with relatively few resources.
I pre-stamped the sneakers and the sentiment for the students, as well as pre-cutting all the blank backgrounds (A5 white card). They all had a go at stamping their own graffiti background using the Woodware Graffiti stamp set. I coloured my card using the Spectrum Aqua pens from Crafters' Companion, but I wasn't letting the students loose with those, so they had to make do with Berol fibre tip pens.
The photo for WOYWW was taken as usual on Tuesday afternoon. For more details about this blog hop family, visit our hostess Julia over on The Stamping Ground. I had to hide the card that I was working on, as it's for my sister in law whose birthday is on Friday and I don't want to spoil the surprise. Instead I covered it up with a sample card for the last afternoon of term reward workshop with a number of Y7 students. They have a choice of lots of different activities, so I don't know exactly how many will be in the group yet, but the card went down well when I did it with a similar group a few years ago, so if it ain't broke...
I thought I was going to be on my own all afternoon, until I got an unexpected text from my crafty friend who had finished examining. She didn't have any craft stuff with her, but called over for a cup of coffee and a chat. I took a photo of her side of the desk anyway!
