Hello. I am nervous as all get-out! Tonight is my first stamp club meeting and I am afraid that the women will not enjoy or like the three projects they are making! :( We are going to make a card with poppin pastels and the Close to Nature set. Then we are making a small Christmas box with Loads of Love set - it has a small tag on it, too. Then we are making a card that is embossed BIG TIME. Most of the women are all beginner stampers. They have asked me for info on embossing as well as using the chalks. I also have a hand-out on using the SU chalks.
Does that sound like a fun-filled learning evening? I don't want them to think that I am not able to teach them new things...or fun or creative things and that is what I am worried about.
Any insight or direction for me out there? I am scared stiff!!! :shock:

Sounds like you have done your homework and are ready as you could be. Be confident...once they start stamping they will forget everything else. You have the right projects and prepare for it, the rest will take care of itself Good luck
Those projects sound great! I always fret about the projects I design for my stamp clubs, but what I have to keep in mind is that you cannot please all of the people all of the time. What I have found is that just getting out to stamp is the best part for the majority of my stamp club members! One tip for supplies: put together a baggie of supplies for each guest; this discourages over-use of supplies when someone is not satisfied with their stamping (and keeps you from having to scramble to cut extra pieces). Relax and be enthusiastic - they (and you) will have a great time!

I would enjoy making all those! I know some months at our stamper's 10 we do two things that are more time consuming and one month we only did one project.
Sounds like you will have lots of fun! Good luck tonight
I will always remember that half the fun is stamping with friends and the other half is...stamping with friends. (ha ha)
Again, thanks for all of your encouragement and kind words. You guys are the best!
