Stamp a stack

[wrightde]

I've seen directions for this before, but I must be a very visual learner, because I can't seem to grasp the concept. Could one of you intelligent and talented souls try once more to explain how a stamp a stack (SAS) where everything goes in a shoebox works? If it finally makes sense, I'd like to do it a stamp camp.

I'm not a demo, and I've only been to one stamp-a-stack. My demo did it like her regular workshops, only we made 5 of each card design she had. So we passed around these shoe boxes that have everything in them to make one style of card. As the box comes to you, you take out 5 of everything. Then make 5 cards. When you are done, you pass the box to the next person, or table. When the afternoon was over, we walked away with 20 cards each. It took about 5 hours. Her normal workshops usually take about 2 hours, but then we are only making 3 cards. I hope this is the information you were looking for.

A stamp - a- stack is just that . . . you stamp a whole tonne of cards at one event. Usually I have people create 10 cards (2 of 5 different designs). You can either pass around a box with all the tools for each card in it or set up stations where people move freely about. Generally I demonstrate each card at the beginning and then let them stamp and chat the night away. I give about 3 hours for them to complete the 10 cards with frequent reminders of how many cards they should have completed by that time. It keeps the night moving along. I charge $15 for the event and usually provide light refreshments. The cards are quick easy designs that don't involve too many techniques or embellishments. I choose the themes of the cards based on the time of the year and generally always throw in a birthday card and a thank-you card since those are the most used. It is definitely one of my most popular events so I would highly recommend giving it a try. Have fun!
