Stampin’ Sisters Retreat Farewell

Stampin' Sisters Retreat is over until next year.
I wanted to share a few final quick pictures.
These are just a few of the fabulous swap cards that were made this year.
The ladies did an outstanding job — do you agree?
Dragonfly Dream
Dragonfly Dreams — this is a favorite Occasions Catalog stamp set.
Foxy
Love the outdoorsy look of this fox card.
Hey Chick
This Hey Chick just cracks me up.
Moon Baby
I love this stamp set — I had to have it but haven't used it yet — must get it inked up.

And finally our farewell picture of everyone waving good bye.
Bye Bye Retreat
Until next year ladies — I can't wait to see you all again.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

Stampin’ Sisters Project 8 — Window Box Cards

Oh my, we are on the final project from our Stampin' Sisters Retreat — so sad….
I think this was my favorite project.
I love the white on white or vanilla on vanilla look and we added a bit of silver and gold.
Such an elegant project and what a great gift this would be.
WindowShoppingGroup
I love the soft look of this birthday card — the little dots and hearts and the tiny cupcakes with the greeting — so cute.
WindowShoppingCard1
I love this candle cut out — so simple but looks great.  The ribbon is a FREE Sale-a-Bration item (you can choose this with a $50 order)
WindowShoppingCard2
Aren't these little flower cutouts adorable?
WindowShoppingCard3
Now on to come Very Vanilla and Gold cards.
I like this cutout — we use the same framelit to cut two times — one each direction.
WindowShoppingCard4
Fun, fun, fun!!!  We stamped the flower image four times with Tip, Top Taupe ink and layered on Gold Foil squares
WindowShoppingCard5
And finally the very elegant floral cutout — love it.
WindowShoppingCard6
Then we created a cute box to put all the cards into.
We used the floral cutout for the front of the box
WindowShoppingBox
I love the coordinated look with this project — simple but elegant.

I'll share a few final farewell pictures tomorrow and then life moves away from Stampin' Sisters Retreat until next year.

Stampin Sisters Project 7 – Cool Treats Cards

Stampin’ Sisters Retreat Project 7 was Cool Treats Cards.
We made a set of six cards using the Cool Treats Bundle (stamp set and framelits) along with the Tasty Treats designer paper.  This card set was a fan favorite.  We heard lots of squeals on this one.
CoolTreats
The color combo in this paper is just so fun.  Definitely makes me think of summer and the ice cream truck driving down the road with all the neighbor kids running out for a treat.
CoolTreatsCard1
Check out the details on the ice cream cone — it looks so real.
CoolTreatsCard2
Mint chocolate chip ice cream is one of my favorites so this card was a must.
We used the Confetti embossing folder and then the Stitched Shapes framelits for the center oval for the greeting.
CoolTreatsCard3
This piece of designer paper is awesome — all that ice cream and popsicles are embossed right on the paper (it comes like that) — so adorable you don’t need much more.
CoolTreatsCard4
How about some fun summer fruits — strawberries and cherries are also embossed on this paper.  We added a little strawberry on the greeting circle — the ladies weren’t too happy fussing with that little thing but they did agree that it finished the card off.
CoolTreatsCard5
Can you every get enough ice cream.  In an ice cream shop there are so many flavors it’s hard to choose — it looks like the person this bowl belongs to couldn’t make up there mind either.
CoolTreatsCard6
This card gives you every kind of ice cream treat — popsicles, ice cream cones, bowls of ice cream, you name it I think it’s here.

I think everyone was ready to go home and make lots more of these cards — so much fun!!
