Stampin’ Sisters – Project 3 Fun Fold Cards

The Stampin’ Sisters Retreat third project was Fun Fold Cards.
This project was a hit with many of the ladies.

We highlighted some of the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration designer papers.

This card is fun — it keeps unfolding and changing looks each time.

The flap lifts up to reveal a plain layer.
Pull the Real Red layer down and you get this:

We are highlighting the Urban Underground — love this paper.
Now open the doors…..

And you have the Beautiful You lady dancing and singing her heart out.

Card 2 was a “fan” favorite.

A sweet, simple triple layer card — very unassuming.
Just pull the card open to reveal all three layers.

It’s filled with pretty flowers and a beautiful dragonfly.

Card 3 has a great twist fold.

Isn’t this fun!!!
Pull the corners open to reveal your greeting.

Enough room to write a little note too.

This was a great set of cards and I think everyone was very pleased when they finished.

Stampin’ Sisters — Project 2

So it's time to share the next project with you.
If you've been following my posts you saw everyone received a cute little bag Saturday morning that held the Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment Kit.  We used this kit for the four cards they made in the second project along with the Cupcakes & Carousel designer paper.
Cupcakes&CarouselsEmbellishment Kit
This was such a fun card grouping — I love the color combo — Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral just can't be beat.

This Happy Birthday card used some of the sequins in the kit — they were attached with Glue Dots.

Isn't the label so elegant?  We used the Falling Petals embossing folder to add a special touch.
This label along with the baker's twine came in the kit.
Cupcakes&CarouselsEmbellishmentKitCard3
This is a fun one — one of my guests is in the middle of wedding plans for her daughter and thought this would be a great card for "would you be my groomsman" invitation.
We added a few sequins and the adorable little bow from the kit.
Cupcakes&CarouselsEmbellishmentKitCard4
Last but not least this fun Congrats to You card.
This time we used more sequins but we added some of the ribbon and a fun tassel.
Tammy said this card could be used for the "would you be my bridesmaid" invitation.
Such fun ideas.
They had a lot of stuff left in their embellishment kits that they could take home and do lots more creating with.

Stampin’ Sisters Card Contest

Yesterday I shared the card swapping pictures.  We collect one of each card and put them all on a display board with a number.  Everyone received a voting sheet — they were to choose the top three cards that they liked.  We tallied the number one votes (we use two and three for a tie breaker).  The winners of this year's card contest was Colleen, Sue and Pam.
Card Contest WinnersIt's so fun to see what they do for cards each year.  Checking out the winning cards.
Colleen's Card
Colleen took first place with this beauty.  The dragonfly was beautiful stamped on the Window Sheet and then layered over another cut out dragonfly — so pretty.
Sue's Card
This is Sue's second place card.  I love the pull out garden fence.
Pam's Card
Pam's card is gorgeous.  Again, the dragonfly is cut out twice.  I love the shabby chic look and oh so much texture — so cute.

One of the great things I love about our Stampin' Sisters Retreat is all of the friendships that are made.  We have a couple of mother/daughter duos who have so much fun having this special time together.
Here is Jacki & Erika (Erika flew all the way from Maine to join the fun).

Isn't this the cutest!!
But I can beat this.  Our retreat is called Stampin' Sisters Retreat because my sister Tina and I host this event together.  This year we added more attendees so we had to recruit a little help with cutting and prepping the projects after we had them designed.  My daughter, Katie, who is a member of my stamping team and Tina's team member Amanda helped up prep.
Here's a great picture of Tina, Katie and I getting ready to head to the stampin' room.

One of these years we will get Tina's daughter Nicole here too.

Come back tomorrow for project 2 and a few other fun surprises.
