Stampin' Studio, 20th Annual Stampin' Sisters Retreat

Oh what a fabulous time we had over the weekend at our 20th Annual Stampin’ Sisters Retreat!!  Our theme this year, in case you can’t tell from the way Peggy and I are dressed, was FLAMINGO’S!  Not only did Peggy and I get to ride on flamingos, but we even had flamingo t-shirts.  This was a weekend of   stamping, laughing, reminiscing, hanging out with friends & making new friends.

We had 80 stampers signed up for the retreat which started Friday night and finished up Sunday morning.  And we had another set of flamingo t-shirts for Saturday!

Each table was set with the stampers Flamingo Tote bag with personalized name tag and a flamingo centerpiece.

I created a festive table display with a caricature of Peggy and me celebrating our 20th Stampin’ Sisters Retreat.

I brought along some scrapbooks with stories and photos from some of the previous years retreats.  They were fun to look at.  After I went through all of the retreat photos we’d collected through the past 20 years, I had my daughter, Nicole, put together a fun power point which played “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”.  What a hoot to see how we’ve all changed over the years.

Of course we had a photo op spot for everyone to get some fun pictures from the weekend.

Keeping with the everything Flamingo theme, we had Prize Patrol gifts in decorative plastic bags, Boxes with Bows which held a gift for all of the new retreat attendees, and a gift in a canvas flamingo bag for each of our team members in attendance.

The final project from our Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat to the Southern Caribbean was this gorgeous boxed set of cards featuring the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar (now on the Last Chance list at a reduced price).

Not only were there 8 cards in this class project, but we also created this lovely box to hold the set of cards.  The Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder adds lovely texture to the front panel of the box. The die-cut leaves come from the Layers of Beauty Dies.

All 8 cards and envelopes fit inside the pocket.  This project makes a wonderful gift.

The card bases are all wither Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, or Mossy Meadow to coordinate with the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper.

A variety of the prints from the Brushed with Beauty DSP were used for each card.

The Spotlight on Nature Dies were used to add texture and interest to the pieces that the sentiments were stamped on.

We used the soft Very Vanilla cardstock rather than Basic White because of the way it coordinates with the Designer Paper.

Basic Beige Ribbon and Pearls of Beauty were the embellishments used on these cards.

Sympathy Cards featuring Metallic Textures Rub Ons

Stampin Studio, Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat, Sympathy Cards, Metallic Rub Ons

I always like to include a set of Sympathy cards for our Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat because, lets face it, when you need sympathy cards, that is not the time you feel like creating them.  This set of cards features the Metallic Textures Rub Ons which was a new product most of the crafters had never used.  Each of the cards features and the sentiment from the Peace on Earth stamp set and uses the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper and Gold Foil Sheets.

Basic Beige was used for the card base then we added  a layer of Gold Foil and Basic White before adding a banner of the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper. A square of Gold Foil was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then we added a Basic White circle with the sentiment stamped on with Basic Beige Ink and then applied one of the images from the  Metallic Textures Rub On’s.  Some of the Loose Gold Sequins finished off the card.

This second card started the same as the first, then we added a half circle of Basic Beige and added the sentiment stamped with Basic Beige. Next we added a half Circle of the Gathering Together DSP followed by a thin banner of Gold Foil.  The leafy image is a Metallic Textures Rub On that was applied to a piece of Basic Beige and fussy cut out before attaching to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cards three and four both have Mossy Meadow card bases, Gold Foil and Basic White layers.  The Gold Wreath image is another of the Metallic Textures Rub On’s and was applied to a Mossy Meadow  Circle.  We added another circle with the sentiment stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink and applied to a Gold Foil circle.  A strip of Gold Foil and a print from the Gathering Together DSP were added.

The final card in this set has another striped print from the Gathering Together DSP and a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock which we added the diagonal square images from the Metallic Textures Rub Ons.  We then added a strip of Golf Foil followed by the sentiment circle stamped in Mossy Meadow.

The Peace on Earth stamp set is no longer available as it has sold out, other products used on these cards are all available.

Be sure to check back over the next few days to see more of the projects we all made on our Stamp, Crop & Cruise to the Southern Caribbean.
