A Lakeside Escape… You’re Going to Love This Easy Card!

Posted in Man Cards, Thinking of You / Hello Friend, RETIRING, HANDMADE CARDS by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

There’s something so peaceful about a quiet moment by the water… and today’s card captures that feeling beautifully using the Waterside Retreat Suite Collection featuring the Relaxing Waterside Bundle. If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to a lakeside getaway—where the breeze is soft, the water gently rolls in, and time seems to slow down—this suite brings that experience right into your craft room.

The Waterside Retreat Suite is filled with everything you need to create calming, scenic cards with ease. From the sun-drenched Designer Series Paper to the detailed stamps and coordinating dies, each piece works together effortlessly. You’ll find images of lounge chairs, sailboats, books, and more—perfect for creating those serene, storybook moments. And let’s not forget the charming little anchor embellishments that add just the right finishing touch!

Today’s card really lets the Designer Series Paper shine. The soft shoreline scene sets the stage, creating a tranquil background that instantly draws you in. I added one of my absolute favorite dies from this suite—the Adirondack chair—and placed it front and center. Doesn’t it just invite you to sit down, relax, and take in the view? The added texture and dimension of the die really bring the whole scene to life, while still keeping the card simple and easy to recreate.

This is one of those designs that looks detailed and impressive, yet comes together quickly—perfect for when you want to create something beautiful without a lot of fuss. Whether you’re making a card for a friend, a retirement, or simply to send a little calm and encouragement, this suite makes it so easy to tell a story through your crafting.

If you’re ready to bring a little lakeside calm into your stamping, the Waterside Retreat Suite is one you’ll definitely want to add to your collection. It’s perfect for creating those peaceful, heartfelt cards that your friends and family will treasure. It’s in the NEW Catalog and will be available on Tuesday, May 5th … get ready!

Thank you so much for stopping by today… I always love sharing a little creative escape with you!

Happy Stamping,
Linda 💙

Don’t Miss These Two Special Opportunities – RSVP Ends Today!

Posted in Stampin' Class Announcement, Stampin' Retreats by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today is the final day to RSVP, and I didn’t want the day to slip by without sharing one more invitation with you. I have two wonderful opportunities coming up that I would absolutely love for you to be part of — my Easter Joy Class and the Spring Stamping Retreat. Both events are designed to bring creativity, inspiration, and connection – whether you’re joining us for a fun afternoon of Easter crafting or treating yourself to a relaxing retreat filled with stamping, laughter, and friendship.

Easter Joy Class

I’m so excited to share this cheerful class with you! In our Easter Joy Class, we’ll spend time creating together while I share some awesome tips and techniques that you can continue using in your future card making.

During class we’ll be making three fabulous cards (not just Easter) along with a fun 3D project. The best part? That 3D project also comes with a step-by-step PDF tutorial, so you’ll be able to recreate it at home and make enough to decorate your Easter table or share with family and friends. It’s a wonderful way to add a handmade touch to your holiday celebrations.

If you enjoy learning new ideas while creating beautiful projects, this class is going to be so much fun! Just let me know which session you would like to attend.

Spring Stamping Retreat

My stamping retreats are something that are very close to my heart. I’m often asked how they compare to other retreats, and honestly… there are no words that truly describe the experience.

I’ve spoken with other retreat facilities who have told me they simply cannot match the price of my retreats, but for me it has never been about the money. What makes these gatherings so special is the experience we create together. A retreat is more than stamping. It’s more than projects and supplies…

It’s about stepping away from everyday life, relaxing, creating, laughing, and forming friendships that often last for years. There is something incredibly special about spending a weekend surrounded by women who share the same love for creativity, conversation, and connection. Many of the ladies who attend come back year after year, and watching those friendships grow has been one of the greatest joys of hosting these retreats. It truly becomes a community and an experience unlike any other.

If your heart has been nudging you to spend a little time creating, connecting, and doing something just for yourself, I hope you’ll consider joining us. Whether it’s gathering for the Easter Joy Class and filling your home with handmade touches for the holiday, or treating yourself to the unforgettable experience of a Stamping Retreat, both opportunities are designed to bring joy, creativity, and meaningful connection. Today is the final day to RSVP, and it would truly mean so much to share these moments with you. I hope to see your name on the list and welcome you into this special time of creativity and friendship.

If one of these gatherings speaks to your heart, I would truly love to have you join us — simply reserve your spot below before the RSVP closes tonight. Call or Text Me at 262-665-4557

Thank you and have a beautiful Sunday ~

You’re Invited to the Ultimate Spring Stamping Retreat! 🌸

Posted in Stampin' Retreats by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I’m excited to invite you to an amazing event … My Spring Stamping Retreat!! It fills more than your craft bag, it’s a creative getaway for your heart, hands and soul.

Take a deep breath…
Imagine a weekend where time slows down, your shoulders relax, and creativity flows without interruption. You’ll feel the shift almost immediately, as you step into our beautiful retreat home overlooking the lake … the noise of everyday life begins to fade.

You’ll feel welcomed, seen, and cared for — because this retreat is designed for you, not a crowd. You’ll feel that sense of belonging that comes from being surrounded by people who understand your love of stamping, paper, color, and creativity. And you’ll think to yourself: “This is exactly what I needed.”

There’s something incredibly healing about stepping away from everyday life and spending time doing what you love — surrounded by people who truly get you.

That’s the heart of my Spring Stamping Retreat — a beautiful, in-person getaway where creativity flows, friendships deepen, and you finally have the space to relax, recharge, and feel like yourself again.

Every detail of this retreat is intentionally designed to help you leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and genuinely happy you said yes. And when you return home? That joy follows you — right back to your craft table. 💗 If this sounds like what your heart has been whispering for, I’d love for you to join us.

Early Bird perks are available for a limited time….

Here’s the truth — weekends like this don’t come along often. Our retreat house is intentionally intimate, the experience is thoughtfully curated, and once the spots are filled, there’s no adding more.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to treat yourself…
If your heart has been whispering, “I need this.”
If you’re craving creativity, connection, and calm — this is your moment.

✨ Early Bird perks are available now, and they’re my way of saying thank you for saying yes early.
But more than that, this is your invitation to put yourself on the calendar.

I would absolutely love to share this retreat with you — to laugh, create, and make memories together in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable.

💗 Don’t wait until the house is full and wish you had joined us. Your spot is waiting!
