Relaxing Waterside

The last class that we did at the Glitter Retreat was made using the RELAXING WATERSIDE DSP

Card #1 she titled it an Arch Window Fun Fold Card

Card #2 is one that I actually had at one of my Tuesday classes but it was fun to make again. She called it Seagull Post

Card #3 is a Double Gate Fold Card and it has a belly band to hold it closed. We were given a 1/2 pack of the 12x12 DSP

Card #4 she called a Thanks Card

And Card #5 is a Flap Fun Fold Card. I also made this at a Tuesday class, but it was fun to make it again.

Velvet Meadows

Card projects #4 were made using the VELVET MEADOW DSP

I must admit that this first card was a bit detailed but totally do-able

Card #2 combines the ALL AFLUTTER stamp set & punch

Card #3

Card #4 - I duplicated this card for a future Tuesday class

Card #5 - I also duplicated this card for a future Tuesday Class.

The Velvet Meadows DSP is so pretty and has some flocking on it to make it a specialty paper.

I did change up some of the sentiments from her original instructions.

Balloon Festoon

The third projects that we made at the Glitter Retreat by Dawn Griffiths was using the BALLOON FESTOON Bundle and the EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS DSP

This first one is a Slide-Out Card. It is the same instructions that I used for when I shared Lily's birthday card with you

Card #2 is called a Double Dutch Door Card

She gave us a little magnet to seal the card down.

Card #3 (the one on the left) is a Gift Card Holder

Card #4 is hanging on the gift bag that we made.

I have made a bunch of gift bags like this - it is the perfect way to use up some of your designer paper. In this case we made the bag from two 12x12 sheets of Basic White then added the DSP just to the front, but you could totally make the whole bag from DSP.

I will be honest that this bag was the most challenging, but I am not sure why because I have made these many times. We even did it at one of our team meetings.

WOOT! WOOT!! Because of Stampin' Up!s new compensation plan I promoted to GOLD again!!

Artisan Sketched Garden

In October, 5 of us from the Creative Crew team went to a retreat led by Dawn Griffiths. Janell & I went last year ad had so much fun that this gals wanted to join in on the fun this year.

She always does a bang up job in preparing all of our projects for us.

This is a much larger scale than when we have our Mid-Winter Retreat in January (a much higher price too!)

We had a total of 5 project using 5 different bundles/Designer Paper

This first bunch of cards uses the ARTISAN SKETCHED GARDEN DSP.

This first card is called a Slider Pop-Up Fun Fold

You can see the little mechanism in the back.

Card #2 - the flowers were cut from the DSP and colored in with Peaceful Pine, Hydrangea Hue, Barely Blush. I plan to duplicate this card for my Tuesday stampers, but of course that means I will be doing a bunch of fussy cutting for them.

Dawn gave each of us 1/4 of a pack of the DSP to cut up for our cards.

This is the box we made that will hold the four cards we made.

This Book Binding card is one of the favorites of my Tuesday stampers so I am duplicating this for them to make.

And last , but not least (actually it is my favorite of the group) 

It features the SHIMMERING STRIPES specialty paper which had a little Hydrangea Hue added with a Blending Brush.

The "celebrate" comes from BANNER SAYINGS

I think that the color Hydrangea Hue is my favorite of the new 2026-2028 In Colors. I am duplicating this card for my Tuesday stampers as well.

Sweet Old Friends

The second set of cards that we made at the Glitter Retreat with Dawn Griffiths was made using the SILLY OLD BEAR 12x12 DSP. We were each given 1/2 pack of the DSP and then we cut out the pieces that we needed for each project. Dawn had all the bases, etc cut and scored for us and gave us a full set of printed instructions for each project.

I have never seen this style before

The 4-1/4" x 11" Early Espresso base was scored at 2-3/4", 5-1/2" 8-1/4"

The pop-out arm is 3/4" x 7-1/2" scored at 1", 3" & 4-1/2"

This second card is an easel card. I think that I placed the oval piece on the wrong triangle, but it still works, just doesn't look as good

Card #3 is called a Flip Flap Card - you may have seen me use this style several times in the past.

Card #4 was a bit more challenging, but completely doable when you follow the instructions. It's just a super fun pop up called a Floating Pop-Up Arch Card.

Card #5 I changed up and brought it home w/o a sentiment so that I could make it a cute baby girl card. I used the sentiment from the brand new EVERY PHASE stamp set.

If you ever have a chance to go to a stamping retreat, I would highly recommend it. They are so much fun.

IN FACT: My friend and fellow stamper, Inez, and I are holding our annual Mid-Winter Retreat on Saturday, January 16, 2027.

You can sign up for this retreat HERE. 

Cost is only $60 - you will make 9 cards and 1-3D project. There will be a soup and salad bar with my hubbies homemade bread, and we play a game of BINGO with prizes.
