Spring Stamping Retreat Card Showcase

Posted in Guest Stamper, HANDMADE CARDS, Stampin' Retreats by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m thrilled to share three great cards from our recent Spring Stamping Retreat Attendee Card Swap. Our talented attendees have truly outdone themselves, creating beautiful designs that highlight the artistry and versatility of our favorite stamping products. Let’s dive into the details and celebrate their amazing work.

Card 1: Cheerful Daisies Card

The star of this card is undoubtedly the daisies, stamped in soft, cheerful hues of Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath and Mossy Meadow that evoke the freshness of a spring garden. The intricate detailing of the stamps brings each daisy to life, showcasing the versatility of the set.

Kellie attendee used a the “Two-Step” stamping technique to add depth and dimension to the daisies, seamlessly transitioning between pink and mauve. This technique enhances the realism of the flowers and adds a dynamic feel to the card.

Card 2: Layered Florals Embossing Folder Card

Next, we have a stunning creation featuring the Layered Florals Embossing Folder. This card showcases the elegance and sophistication that embossing can bring to any project.

To accentuate the embossed details, Karie used a coloring technique, lightly coloring over the raised areas with the Stampin’ Blends markers. This not only highlights the intricate floral patterns but also adds a soft, vintage touch.

A simple, elegant sentiment is stamped and placed delicately at the top of the card. This minimalist approach allows the embossed florals to remain the focal point, creating a harmonious balance between the elements.

Card 3: Simply Zinnia Bundle and Embossing Folder Card

This card captures the essence of zinnias in full bloom, bursting with color and texture. This bundle includes both stamps and dies, allowing for beautifully stamped and precisely cut zinnias. Sandy then used a combination of bold, bright colors to reflect the natural beauty of zinnias, resulting in a card that is both eye-catching and joyful.

The coordinating embossing folder provides a detailed backdrop that complements the stamped and die-cut zinnias. The embossed background adds texture and interest without overwhelming the main floral elements. Sandy added a touch of bling with the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer paper.

This was the WINNING card for our attendee Swap!! They all get to vote for their top 3 favorites … then the votes are tallied and a winner announced. Our Winner receives a Gift Certificates for … Stampin’ Up! products!!

I hope these beautiful creations inspire you to experiment with your stamping and embossing techniques. Our Spring Stamping Retreat attendees have truly showcased their talent and creativity, demonstrating how versatile and impactful these products can be. Whether you’re new to stamping or a seasoned pro, there’s always something new to discover and create. Happy stamping!

Today, we’re diving deeper into its versatility and charm. If you thought yesterday’s creation was stunning, get ready to be captivated once again!

Today’s layout is similar to yesterday’s yet unveils a new dimension of beauty. The designer paper was used as my backdrop with a Lemon Lime Twist mat, setting the perfect canvas for our floral masterpiece. Your eyes are effortlessly guided by the graceful diagonal stripe, leading you to the heart of the composition—the bouquet of vibrant zinnias.

What truly sets today’s card apart is the meticulous coloring technique employed. The zinnias, oh, the zinnias! They have been meticulously colored with Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie with the centers in Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends for the leaves, infusing them with a bold and layered allure. This technique elevates the stamped images to a whole new level, adding depth and dimension that simply mesmerizes the beholder.

Whether you’re crafting heartfelt greetings, elegant invitations, or stunning scrapbook layouts, the Simply Zinnia bundle is your ultimate companion in artistic expression.

The sentiment is stamped in Old Olive to harmonize with the designer paper and card base. It’s these thoughtful details that truly make a creation come to life, infusing it with warmth and personality.

To add the perfect finishing touch, the card was adorned with the subtle elegance of Iridescent Rhinestones. These shimmering gems add a touch of sparkle and sophistication, elevating your creations from beautiful to breathtaking.

Easy Card Making with the Simply Zinnia Bundle: Quick Tips for Stunning Results

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you looking for a way to create beautiful, handmade cards without spending hours in the craft room? Look no further than the Simply Zinnia bundle from our Online Exclusive collection. Today, I’m excited to share with you a quick tip for coloring that will help you achieve stunning results in no time.

If you’re short on time but still want to add vibrant color to your cards, try this simple technique: ink up one of our sponge daubers with your favorite color and apply the ink in a circular motion. This method ensures smooth application and allows you to control the intensity of the color. Whether you’re adding a pop of color to flowers or creating a gradient background, this technique is sure to impress.

The background of today’s featured card was created using the Zinnia 3-D embossing folder, adding depth and dimension to the design. To further enhance the focal point, I die cut the designer paper behind the floral bouquet using the Everyday Detail dies also found in our online exclusives. This layering technique gives the card a sophisticated look, as if it took hours to create, when in reality, it was quite easy thanks to the die cuts and coloring tip.

The “Thank You” and die for our sentiment comes from our Simply Zinnia bundle. Not only does the Simply Zinnia bundle make card making quick and easy, but it also offers endless creative possibilities. I’ll be sharing more with you tomorrow! This collection is sure to inspire your creativity and help you create stunning cards for any occasion.

So why wait? Head over to my website today and explore the Simply Zinnia bundle from our Online Exclusive collection. With its easy-to-use tools and versatile designs, you’ll be crafting beautiful cards in no time.

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

Thank you ~

Just a Reminder …. TODAY is the Last Day to order from the current ANNUAL Catalog!! And don’t forget that the Clearance Rack has been updated as well.

The result is a simple and fun card that effortlessly captures the essence of spring and the gratitude you have towards the recipient of the card.
