Step Into our Annual Spring Stamping Retreat

Posted in Stampin' Retreats by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Welcome to the recap of our annual Spring 2024 Stamping Retreat! What a delightful time we had, filled with reconnecting with old friends and forging new bonds. Let me take you through a glimpse of the experience.

As guests arrived, they were greeted not only by myself but also by a charming flower garden adorning the fireplace mantle. Each attendee had the opportunity to choose a flower to take home as a token of our time together, a beautiful reminder of the retreat’s essence.

Next, we guided our guests to their rooms for the weekend ….

After settling in, our guests were pleasantly surprised to find sweet little pillow gifts awaiting them in their rooms, a warm welcome indeed.

But the surprises didn’t end there! This year, we decided to shake things up a bit by introducing a Baked Potato Bar for dinner—a delicious departure from our usual fare, and it was a resounding hit! A “Seven Layer Salad” to lighten things up, and a sweet treat for fun.

Following our scrumptious meal, we gathered in the stamp room, where the excitement continued with fun bling and personalized bags filled with all the necessary supplies for our stamping session. Laughter and creativity filled the air as we crafted away, sharing tips and tricks with one another.

But the surprises weren’t over just yet! As the evening wound down, guests were treated to yet another pillow gift, along with an invitation to don their “happy” socks and join me in the living room for hot chocolate and delectable desserts. It was a cozy and delightful way to end the evening, surrounded by good company and even better treats.

And what better way to cap off our time together than with a playful display of Snoopy and Woodstock socks? It was a lighthearted moment that perfectly encapsulated the spirit of our retreat—joyful, whimsical, and full of laughter.

Hosting these retreats brings me immense joy, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to create cherished memories with each and every attendee. Stay tuned for more highlights from our Spring Stamping Retreat—I can’t wait to share them with you! #stampingretreats

A Million Thanks: Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set Unveiled!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you ready to add a touch of sweetness to your crafting repertoire? Look no further than our latest gem from the Online Exclusive line – the Sweetly Scripted stamp set! With its elegant script font and versatile phrases, this set is perfect for expressing gratitude, love, or any heartfelt sentiment.

For today’s project, I’ve showcased the charm of the Sweetly Scripted stamp set by creating a simple yet impactful card. Using our Soft Subtles colors in 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ strips of – Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, and Soft Sea Foam – I’ve created a soft and soothing palette that perfectly complements the tender sentiments of the stamps by stamping the phrase “A Million Thanks” using Memento Ink. Its crisp black hue pops beautifully against the pastel background, conveying our gratitude in a bold and elegant manner.

But what’s a spring-themed card without some delightful blooms? Enter the Paper Florist Die set! While originally designed as accents for larger flowers, we’ve repurposed these charming little blossoms as our main floral element. Their dainty silhouette adds a touch of whimsy to my card, elevating it from simple to simply stunning.

To add a hint of contrast and definition, I’ve die-cut the centers of our flowers from Basic Black cardstock. This subtle detail not only ties the design together but also highlights the intricate beauty of the blooms.

When completed, my card may be straightforward in its design, but its message is anything but. With the Sweetly Scripted stamp set as our muse, I’ve crafted a token of appreciation that speaks volumes – a million thanks, expressed in every delicate detail. This simple pattern can be used for any of the sentiments included in this set.

Stay tuned for more inspiration and creativity from our Online Exclusive line. Until then, happy crafting!
