Today is more fun with Sale-a-Bration items. This time I am using two of the fabulous FREE items — Eclectic Expressions Stamp Set and the Celebrate You Thinlits. Both items have been favorites with my stampers.
I love the Bermuda Bay and Silver combo and the “blotches” give this card some fun texture looks.
This card is quick to make and works for many occasions — birthdays, graduations, a new job, retirement.
Supplies Used:
I wanted to share one of the Sale-a-Bration items that you may have skipped past. The Tutti Frutti Cards & Envelopes are awesome!! They are so versatile and great for most of the cards you need to make. The Tutti Frutti Cards come in a pack of 16 card bases and coordinating envelopes — there are 4 colors and 4 of each one. Each card base has a different pattern on the front of the card — gorgeous and so much fun.
I paired the Lovely Wishes stamp set with the cards and a beautiful spring card.
This was definitely a quick & easy card. We started with the Tutti Frutti Card Base — all four colors work great.
We stamped the images with Memento ink on a 3 1/8″ x 4 3/8″ piece of Whisper White.
Color them with Stampin’ Blends — Calypso Coral Light, Old Olive Light
Layer on 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ Black
Attach to card base with dimensionals
Supplies Used:
We are to the end of our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat until next year. I hope you have enjoyed all our crazy pictures and projects. This is our biggest event of the year and is an absolute blast as I think you have seen. I wanted to share a few final pictures.
Here are all of the “come on downs” they received for each project.
It also includes two extra gifts we gave out — the designer paper left is wrapped up cute.
They also received the extra Petal Passion Memories & More cards — they can make more frames
or adorable cards.
We provided a wonderful Italian Buffet for lunch Saturday.
The hotel was so wonderful, they even fixed gluten free pasta for a few of us, no nice.
We had choice of sauces: marinara or Alfredo.
We also had grilled chicken strips and meatballs.
Dessert was brownies or cookies and fruit for us gluten free people.
I think everyone got fueled up for the afternoon of stamping.
We do get a little silly at times.
It was a good time for a box ride — doesn’t everyone do that!!!
Here is the picnic basket filled with finished cards
and all the “come on down” gifts from the weekend.
Do you think we spoiled them enough?
Each year we take a group picture.
Here are all 96 of us — it’s really hard to see everyone but
I love to look over all those smiling faces.
Every year we take one final goodbye picture as everyone
waves and says see you next year.
I would love to have more of you join us next year.
Tomorrow we’ll get back to lots of other fun projects so be sure to come back and check it out.
