Card Party

     Every once in a while, some friends and I get together to make what I call "card components". I have always made my cards and it helps to make a lot of pieces that can be fashioned into a card later. When I buy the 50 cards and envelopes pack (with coupon) at Joann's or Michaels, I can use the stamped pieces to make cards later. I usually make 4 or 5 at a time.
     When you work with friends, you share stamps, techniques, tips and materials. I have a large well lit 2 1/2 car garage that we set up with tables, spread out and make lots of pieces. I provide lunch and we have a lot of fun.

All kinds of component pieces

A few sample cards put together.
