June 24/2017 A One Day Stamp Retreat

An entire day of stamping! What could be better?  Oh yes… enjoying a pot luck lunch too!!  And that is what we did.  Some worked on their own projects and some worked on one of the new kits that Stampin’ Up! has in the Annual Catalogue – Soft Sayings.
                                     17-06 Retreat 1
One of the kit makers didn’t even bother with the Stampin’ Up! ideas, but just started creating on her own, (right Lillian?)!  Horrors!!  Not me – not enough imagination!!!  I just revamped the 3 1/2 x 5 cards by creating them as suggested and then matting and layering them on to regular sized card bases.

                    17-06 Stamp Retreat revamped kit 3 (480x640)            17-06 Stamp Retreat revamped kit 4 (480x640)
Everyone also had the option to make a quick project – a Calendar Easel Card that fits into a regular envelope.  I used the retired DSP ‘Inside the Lines’, but everyone else used the new ‘Just Add Color’ Specialty DSP.

We had lots of fun, so much so that I am planning another All Day Stamping Retreat for October!  Date to be confirmed but I am hoping for October 28. 

June 12 & 14/2017 3 Quick Cards

With Father’s Day happening this month I wanted to make sure everyone had some masculine cards on hand.

June 3 & 4/2017 It’s a New Catalogue Open House!

There were treats, door prizes, new samples to have a look at, new product to check out, the new Annual Catalogue to leaf through and of course….  STAMPING!!

Everyone created a card choosing colors from the Color Theory Suite – Old Olive, Dapper Denim, Berry Burst or Crushed Curry.  The designer paper was from the Color Theory paper stack, the stamps used were from the new ‘Colorful Seasons’ set and the die cut flowers were from the new ‘Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies’.  (You can get the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10%.)  The Old Olive and Crushed Curry ribbon was the new Mini Chevron and the Berry Burst was the new Finely Woven ribbon.  New, New, New!!

There was also a bookmark to create to mark your place in the new catalogue.  It was stamped with all the new 2017-2019 In Colours and had a ribbon to match.
