Stampin’ Sisters Retreat 2025 – Project 2

It’s time to share our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat 2025 – Project 2 featuring the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Floral Delight Designer Paper. This is a set of 4 cards that bring some fabulous sunshine into your life. These cards cover birthdays, thank yous and a card perfect to write a simple note inside

Stampin' Sisters Retreat 2025 - Project 2


Each card added a new element. We started with a simple card with one stamped image and a greeting. A bow and embellishments were added between the image and greeting to add more interest to the card.


We added a die cut opening and a die cut butterfly to the second card. This card also has some fun Daffodil Delight blotches stamped under the bow.


The third card has a double Stylish Shapes Circle Die layer. I stamped the Basic White circle with the Elements of Text stamp set — this is such a wonderful background stamp. We added three little die cut butterflies to the front.


The fourth card is fun. I used the largest square die from Stylish Shapes Dies and cut an opening in the top Basic White layer. Then I slid the die down a little and cut a second partial square to make the opening larger. I love the greeting layer attached across the center of the card front. Such a fun, cheerful card.

March Card Sketch Challenge

Tomorrow I’ll be back to share more from our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat but today I want to share my March Card Sketch Challenge. Last month we had 25 fabulous card entered — these ladies did such an amazing job. I gave away two shopping sprees — congratulations to Kim Koplin and Suzanne Gannon. Now on to March’s Card Sketch Challenge Template and my sample. I used the Everyday Happiness Designer Paper with the Mixed Labels Stamp Set for a very soft and subtle friend card. Here is the template

Are you ready to see my sample card? I love this designer paper – it has such a soft feel to it and it works for all occasions.



Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card and the envelope. Who doesn’t love to receive something in the mail that is decorated everywhere!

Stampin’ Sisters Retreat 2025

This weekend was our 19th Stampin’ Sisters Retreat 2025!! My sister, Tina Rappe and I hosted a full weekend for 77 amazing ladies. We made 1 project Friday night, 5 projects Saturday, and 1 project Sunday morning.

Our theme this year was SQUEEZE THE DAY!! Tina created this adorable lemonade stand and all the decorations were yellow. It was so cheery and fun!!
Tina and I took a class last April and made these adorable Squeeze the Day Truck signs and it was perfect decor for the weekend.


When the doors opened Friday night, everyone ran looking for spot for the weekend. They were greeted with this adorable yellow corduroy tote bag with their name on it. The tote bag was filled with all their projects for the weekend. They also received a water bottle with a tag holding a packet of lemonade and a straw with a tag matching the button on the bag. The button has a green truck full of lemons and a sign that says SQUEEZE THE DAY!! It was so cute looking around the room at all the yellow bags.


Everyone got settled into their spots and we welcomed all of our newbies (1st time attendees) and our team members in attendance.


We had 13 newbies this year (someone is missing from the picture).
It’s so fun to watch the newbies throughout the weekend!! They said they are definitely coming back next year.

We had a total of 20 team members join us this year (1 is missing from the picture and 1 did a kit in the mail). Our team members are so awesome, I loved hanging with them all weekend.

Project 1

We did one project set Friday night – an 8″ x 8″ framed art that was so adorable. They also made a set of 4 cards and a small gift box. They all used the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack. All three projects had minimal stamping, a little fussy cutting the flowers from the card pack pieces. It really was simple assembling, but all three projects are SO cute.




I’ll be sharing more projects over the next week, I hope you’ll join me each day.
