any ideas??

I'm having a birthday party for my 12y old daughter next week, and I was wondering if anyone has an idea of a stamping craft that I can do with them. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. TIA!

Look at buying some brown wrapping/packing paper -- then have the kids use Xmas stamps and stamp all over it. They will love the results and it will be great to use at Xmas time .. especially when you can wrap their gifts in it.

how about stamping on three ring binders (the cloth kind)...someone had a thread a little while back about stamping on a scrapbook cover that she received damaged (to cover a smudge)...it turned out nice and what fun with the school year right around the corner.

How about magnets? Mine generally end up on the fridge, but my daughter has a magnetic board in her room and next year the girls would most likely have lockers.

I recommend picture frames. You could always take pictures during her party and then they would have a frame they already decorated to display the picture.

school or for a diary? Sometimes you can find the composition books at the dollar store or on sale for back to school supplies. Also, they could make a matching pen if you get the kind that is clear and allows for a piece of stamped paper to be added.

Michael's has the foam visors on sale for .50 each. I bought a bunch (even though dd's bday is not until Jan.) for a craft. I bought princess visors for girls, and plain blue for boys. For the girls, I will provide rhinestones & glue dots so they can make princess crowns. For the boys, I will buy the foam shapes to be glued on the visors. Now that I think about it, this seems a little childish for a 12 yr old, huh? Sorry. But I'd still like to throw this idea out, maybe it'll help spark some ideas!

How about stamping on the foam cuzzies(sp?), soda can holders, or composition books(cover these with cs) then stamp. My friend stamped on white pillow cases for x-mas gifts, she used lumiere paint and bold SU stamps. Linda

this is way simpler than any other suggestions, but I did this for my 12 year old neighbor's b-day party.

We made gel cards. The girls LOVED it.

I would say shaker, gel, or spinner cards or all three would be a hit.
