At the end of February I held my Spring Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat. It was an amazing weekend full of crafting with a wonderful group of ladies. The theme for the retreat was Peaceful Poppies – it is one of my favorite suites out of the Mini Catalog. Pretty paper and some beautiful stamp sets and coordinating dies. I wanted to share a couple of the cards we made. I showed how to make these two cards and all our projects and pillow gifts from our retreat in a Facebook Live earlier this week – you can view that here if you would like.
This was our weekend gang! Normally we try to get a group photo outside but we had a lot of rain that weekend and even some snow flurries! It was a cold rainy weekend of fun. So our photo is in the basement craft area – everyone crowded around my table.
Thank You Card
This is one of the cards that we made at the retreat. Background stamping in tone on tone colors and a fun frame made out of the two label dies. I used Stampin’ Blends to color the flower. The yellow pops out against the Poppy Parade.

Happy Birthday Card
Here is one of the cards that we made. It uses the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series paper for a base layer, and the small layer and for the base of the flower. The peek-thru die cut flowers in each corner of the white layer. For the label that I stamped Happy Birthday on I used a trick to make it smaller – cut the label once, then reposition the die on it to create a shorter label. You can see how if you watch my video.
