Beginner, Casual or Avid?

Did you know that as Stampin'Up! demos we are encouraged to demonstrate projects that appeal to - and are achievable by - not just seasoned stampers, but beginner crafters too? I love watching people stamp for the first time, and the smile that accompanies that sense of achievement when they have made something they are proud of.

All these cards below area made to the same basic design - three strips of DSP, a matted picture panel, and a stamped greeting. This basic design is lovely - clean lines, and very achievable. But by adding just a few more elements to it, we have a mid-level and then a fancier card, just by adding in an extra technique or embellishment. Working through the different levels like this made me realise how easy it actually is to step up a basic card, so everyone can make something with a real wow factor.
