Forever Friends Kit Alternate Cards

Forever Friends Kit – Alternate Cards

The Forever Friends kit is part of the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection and is on sale this month – August 2023.  Below I’m going to share some cards that I made using the stamp set and additional supplies from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

After you complete the cards in the kit you still have the stamp set left – and the ink spot.  I decided to make some alternate cards using the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper and other supplies from the annual catalog.  I copied one card design from the kit and then create two more. In the video I’ll share with you how I split the Bordered Ribbon into 3 sections – and then used one on each card.

This was originally my Facebook Live from 7/17/2023 on my At Monika’s Place page. I’ve also uploaded it to YouTube for you to view there – see the link below.

Spec-Taco-lar Retreat in a Box

Spec-Taco-lar Spring Retreat in a Box

Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat – this popular event is full for the in person retreat and only available as a to go option for this spring.

Retreat in a Box will include the same gifts, swag bag and make&take projects that the in-person retreat includes.  Access to the private Facebook Group where all the projects photos, pdf instructions, and any needed videos will be posted.  This time I will also be hosting a Zoom session on Thursday May 4th just for Retreat in Box participants. More specifics on that will be shared in the FB group. I’ll go over the projects, answer questions and we’ll have time to chat. You will be able to complete the projects from the comfort of your home when you have time available.  

Retreat in a Box option does not include the stamp set/ink – you can add on the stamp set for $19 – we are using the Taco Fiesta set from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog.  A list of additional supplies like ink, Stampin’ Blends, tools will be provided in April.  You will of course need your own adhesives and basic tools like scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder, etc.  If you need to order any additional items I can order and add them to your box.  Your box includes shipping priority flat rate box to your home – I cannot guarantee the date the box will arrive – that is dependent on the post office.  My plan is to have them in the mail by May 1st and they should take 2-3 days to arrive.

How to Register & Pay

Payment for retreat in a box is due by March 20th so that I have time to order materials and prep your supplies.
Retreat in a Box is $85
Add-on Taco Fiesta stamp set is $19 (no additional shipping charges).
