Project 4 — Snowflake Cards

We are onto Project 4 from our Fall Fest Retreat.
This is my favorite project of the day.
We used the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and the coordinating Snow Flurry Punch.
Add a little Silver Cording Trim and a Clear Plastic Gift Box and you are all set.
Project 4 Group
Such an elegant grouping.  Everyone received a package of the Silver Cording Trim.
They received the Snowflake Elements back on Project 2.
Project 4-1
The first card used the Boughs & Berries embossing folder and one of the Snowflake Elements that was sponged with White Craft ink.
Project 4-2
Card #2 featured the Curvy Corner Punch and the Wonderland Embellishments.
Have you tried the new Curvy Corner Punch — if not you really must, such a nice addition to your cards.
Project 4-3
The third card has Silver Embossing — you know you love to heat emboss.
It’s so easy but adds so much.
Everyone also received a package of the Gold and White Sparkly Ribbon.
Project 4-4
The fourth card in this group featured a little sponging and lots of snowflakes.
Everyone received a package of the Iced Rhinestones too.  That’s right, lots of giveaways for the day too.

All four cards and envelopes fit inside the clear box for a wonderful presentation.
Wouldn’t you like to make a whole bunch more for Christmas gifts.

Project 3 — Gift Holders

Fall Fest Retreat lunch is over — card swapping is over — now on to Project 3
This project is gift holders — many of us like to make a little gift for lots of friends and families during the holidays.  This project was perfect for that.
Project 3 Group
First we made an adorable fall decoration for a pint jar.
You could fill the jar with candies, soup mix, cookie mix — almost anything.
Project 3-3
We used the Leaflets framelits and embossing folders for those fun, colorful leaves.
Add a bit of burlap, linen thread and a clothespin and you are ready to fill the jar.
York Peppermint
Next was the Sketched Dot Bag that has a York Peppermint inside.
We sponged different shades of ink and decorated a fun tag for the front.
This is a great gift for co-worker desks.
Santa Candy Bar
The final project of this group was the Santa sticking our of the chimney candy bar wrapper.  This was definitely a favorite item for everyone.

Tomorrow I'll show you my favorite group.

Time for Lunch

Whew — they finished two Project groupings.
It's time to get re-fueled.
The tables were set so pretty — Katie did a great job.
She cut out tons of leaves to lay out on the tables
Table Setting
Katie made the napkin and silverware holder to coordinate with everything else.
Silverware Pouch
Isn't this just adorable.  It was made using the Square Pillow Box Thinlet Die.
Pretty quick and easy — this is a must have for the holidays.
Desserts & Salad

We served Cheesy Broccoli and homemade Chicken Vegetable soups, artisan breads, salad and all the toppings.  Maria was so sweet and brought a veggie plate.
Jose (the only man attending) couldn't be out done by the ladies — he brought Blueberry and Oreo Cheesecakes and they were delicious.
Katie baked leaf cookies for us and Gail baked some fabulous Ginger cookies for me (gluten free and paleo too) YUMMY!!  I shared a few but kept a bunch for me.
Lunch Line
It looks like they are enjoying the food.

After lunch they went back to their "work" tables to get their swap cards.
This little treat was waiting for them.
Peanut basket
We made these with the Berry Box Die and the Acorny Thank You stamp set.
Don't you love the acorn — Nuts About You — perfect for this basket, don't you think.

Now it was time for the card swap.
Jose Swapping
Jose was in line ready to go.  What a treat to have him swap too.

Come back tomorrow — I'll share their swap cards with you.
