April in New York is always rainy. Sad news for some, but for me, it’s the perfect excuse to stay indoors and get crafty. Yippee!
On Saturday, I attended my first stamping and card making workshop hosted by my new friend Heidi Davenport, a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator in New York City.
Boy did I have fun! I dragged along my dearest, non-crafty pal Jeannine and now we are completely hooked on stamping and card making!
Stampin’ Up is a company that sells products to stampers and scrapbookers. Their demonstrators host themed craft parties where you can enjoy learning a new technique or purchase cool tools to take your crafts to a whole new level. For more details, check out their Web site.

Heidi is very fun hostess and organized too. She set up individual buckets of materials and tools for each of the five cards we learned to make. I went home with beautiful creations that I can give as gifts for any occasion. Creating cute, handmade cards isn’t hard at all, especially if you have cool stamps, glitter, and some colorful card stock. You must go out and try this craft!
It looks like another crafty obsession is born!
