Dec 6, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Christmas, Stamp, Scrap, & Create Retreat |
One of my favorite things about the Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat is to surprise everyone with little gifts throughout the weekend. For the Farmhouse theme there were tons of ideas online and in the stores. I even managed to find the little red truck with a tree in the back – these were ornaments that I decided to use to make a little decor piece. This idea is floating around online in a variety of places.
I actually used glue dots under the four tires of the truck to anchor in to the bottom of the jar. Then sprinkled in some “snow” that I found at the store. I decorated the lid with a circle of the Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and some of the striped burlap ribbon. I added a simple tag made from banners and tied them on with the Farmhouse Cotton Twine.

Dec 5, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Cards, Stamp, Scrap, & Create Retreat |
Moving on to day 2 of my Farmhouse Christmas projects from the Fall Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat. I have another card for you. It came from an idea from another demonstrator that is part of the Artisan Design team. The Stampin’ Up! Artisan design team always give me lots of inspiration. They are such a creative bunch and I’m excited to see the new team in 2019.
This card has the beautiful Galvanized Metal paper with the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder for a background – I just love the look of it. The cute little house from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set is perfect for the sentiment ” from our home to yours”. The Cotton Twine is one of my favorites and the assortment has three colors – Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, and the Cherry Cobbler that I used here. We have had this twine in the past in some other colors. I was happy to see it back – it’s so soft!

Jun 10, 2014 | Big Shot, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Masculine, Occasions Catalog 2014, Sale-A-Bration 2014, Stamp, Scrap, & Create Retreat |
This was our third Make&Take project at the Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat. A Birthday card kit that included a birthday cards for a variety of people – a kids card, a teen card, a feminine card and a masculine card. I wanted to accomplish a few things for this project and set of cards. While designing it the plan was to use a consistent color scheme – so the whole set coordinates, and I wanted to use the same layout for each of the cards – to show that changing just the stamp set could make it a completely different card. I was able to use items from my pre-order for the new Stampin’ Up! catalog along with items from the Occasions catalog that continued on into the new annual catalog.
I decided to use the new Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack for this project so the color scheme is Sahara Sand, Basic Gray, Whisper White and two brand new colors – Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon. I’m not sure if you have noticed this before but with the paper stacks if you look at one side you have one set of colors and if you flip over and look at the other side you have a slightly different set of colors. For this moonlight stack one side includes the Lost Lagoon (that’s what I used for this project) while the other side included the Blackberry Bliss.
Here is a closer look at each piece of this project.
The box that holds the 4 cards and envelopes was made with the Envelope Punch Board. The front decorated with the Starburst Sayings and Starburst Framelits.
The kids card uses the new Sea Street stamp set and the “happy birthday” is from a new set called Something to Say. A strip of the Moonlight paper stack – that looks like waves and the Starburst die cut is embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder – to look like bubbles. Does that embossing folder look familiar? It was one of the Sale-A-Bration free choices a few months ago.
The teen card uses the Geometrical stamp set and the Triangle punch. For this one the greeting is on the circle and then the punched triangles were added around the front of the card giving a little different look to the same card layout.
Here is the feminine card – it uses the new So Very Happy stamp set. While this wasn’t part of our pre-order it was a set that I received during the Leadership conference back in January. The flower in the set coordinates with the Blossom Punch.
And finally the masculine card – it uses the set called Timeless Talk. This isn’t a new set it was actually in last years catalog too. But sometimes you don’t notice a set until its presented in a different way. For the center of the dial on the phone I added a little Basic Gray candy dot.
For all the cards I used the Hardwood Background stamp. And they each have the large starburst that is embossed, the strip of Moonlight Designer Paper and the 2-1/2″ circle punch with an image plus the punched greeting.
Thanks for stopping by today!
