amuse goodness...

It's like Christmas when a brown box arrives on your doorstep! This order was one of the largest I have had to sort. It was so much fun to see all the amuse inks, paper, stamp sets, free notecards, buttons, dies, and so much more.....I love amuse!

Bettie's workshop



Bettie had a fabulous workshop on Sunday. A few who had never heard of amuse got to see first hand how wonderful their products are!  We made several make and takes, enjoyed meeting new people who love to stamp and of course Bettie had so many delicious eats! Thank you ladies for a great afternoon!

Jeanne's workshop!

These are the projects we made at Jeanne's workshop. Everyone did a fantastic job!  

As usual we had a great afternoon of stamping, laughing, and enjoying each others company. Of course we had a delicious spread of food to eat too! Thanks Jeanne for a successful day!

(Thank you Kamila for your wonderful card idea and to Anna Keyes for the tutorial on the gum packs!)



We missed you Katie, Shari, and Colleen, but we will see you next month!

Thanks ladies for an awesome of afternoon!

sneak peek!

Can you guess what we will be making at Jeanne's workshop today?? Hmmm.....you will  have to wait and see.....it's going to be a great time!

Workshop fun!

We had another great time at our workshop on Sunday. Everyone enjoyed making the 3 projects. As always we shared stories, ideas and a lot of good laughter. So glad Jeanne could make it this time. The munchies were delicious...super job Regina....you were the hostess with the mostess!

Katie and Casey, we wish you could have joined us, but we know you had other plans.

See you both next time and thanks ladies for making it a great day!

Ladies Night Out!

My friend Carolyn introduced her stamping friends to amuse studio by having a workshop in her home.

As you can see everyone had a great time. It was a "ladies night out" with good friends, delicious food, and a love for stamping.



Carolyn chose to do a winter/Christmas theme. We used the snow crystals and vintage christmas postmarks stamp sets to make two projects....a beautiful card and a simple money gift holder. Thank you ladies for a great workshop and for allowing me to introduce you to amuse studio! Cheers to Carolyn for being the perfect hostess!

amuse studio supplies:

winter sky, sugar, and onyx cardstock

winter sky and versafine ink

snow crystals and vintage christmas postmarks stamp sets

Workshop hostess gift

This is what I like to give my hostesses at a workshop. I love giving inks, daubers, and buttons that go with the theme of the workshop. I recycled the amuse sticker off a ball of twine and put it on the clear box......add a handmade tag with some twine and you have the perfect hostess gift.

Colleen's workshop



This is our stamp club group....minus Jeanne. She could not make it but we really missed having her there. From left going around the table clockwise is Colleen our hostess, Casey, Regina, Shari, and Katie.

We had a ton of fun using our amuse studio products!

Casey is the life of the party.....we have an "amuse"ingly good time when she is there. She is a good sport and takes our teasing well......feel the love Casey and have some cheese! (inside joke)

Everyone does an amazing job with their stamping. We all have such a wonderful time when we get together...sharing ideas and our love of stamping. Thanks ladies for a great day!  

workshop make and takes

Here are the projects we did at Colleen's workshop yesterday. We had a great time stamping with amuse studio products. We made a Halloween tag and card and also a Christmas tag and card. The tag is just like the one you will see in the holiday catalog. The only difference is we put a strip of doublesided tape for the ribbon on the package and then sprinkled it with amuse glitter. We also put 3 red jewels for the berries.

Thank you Colleen for being the perfect hostess!

Workshop Projects

This is one of the projects we did at our workshop on Sunday. You can hang it on a peg in your stamp room. Everyone did theirs with different patterned paper from amuse|studio and coordinated the colors with their room. It is not amuse|studio, but the stamp is a wood block from A Muse. Each "shop" name was printed out on the computer. We used glue dots to give it a bit of dimension.

In my post yesterday I mentioned that everyone chose a different stamp set to make their inchie card....this is one of them. I love the shades of colors that were chosen to make this card.

amuse|studio supplies:

marvelous marigolds stamp set

mad for plaids stamp set

essential sentiments stamp set

heather, currant, and blackberry ink

latte and onyx cardstock

micro clear twinkle stickers

Let the fun begin!

Preparation for our amuse|studio workshop. 

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon....with friends and a whole lot of stamping!

We started off  our workshop with a look at the amuse|studio products. I had planned on everyone making the inchie card pictured above, but with all the wonderful spotlight stamp sets and some favorites from the catalog, everyone decided to make a different one that suited themselves.....fabulous!

We had a wonderful time learning from each other and being creative.....thank you ladies!
