Making Four Cards at One Time

 

 It's that time of year again!  It's time for the Fall Creativate Retreat!  It's almost time for a weekend of FUN!


Every three months throughout the year, this group of fabulous ladies (Jackie Bolhuis, Connie Stewart, Brandy Cox, Sharon Armstrong) hold a Retreat with so much inspiration!  Not to mention all the fabulous projects they share and all the laughs as well!

I look forward to each retreat and can't wait for the next one before the current one ends!!  There are lots of LIVE videos and it's so fun to participate in the chat room!  Prizes are awarded after each live event as well.

They offer an Early-Bird registration and if you sign up within these days, you will receive four fabulous fun folds!
Registration is open until the day of the retreat.

Pre-Retreat Challenges are also offered each Monday, leading up to the Retreat.  This helps to get your creativity going with these fun challenges.  

Once you register for the event, you can join the private FB group where you can post your creations and view all the creativity!  This in itself is very inspiring!

The Fall Retreat will be held October 13-14, 2023.
You still have time to register!



The 3rd Pre-Retreat Challenge is to create "Four Cards at One Time."

Here are the four cards I created using the Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow, Circle Sayings & So Sincere Stamp Sets along with Deckled Circles Dies.

These cards were so fun to make and came together rather quickly, keeping them simple and just having fun stamping!

Two of the card bases are Pretty Peacock cardstock and the other two are Moody Mauve cardstock.  I simply mixed and matched the mat layers for the background and the circles, keeping the top layers Basic White cardstock.

This sentiments are all from the Circle Sayings Stamp Set, stamped using Pretty Peacock & Moody Mauve inks.  The circles were die cut using the Deckled Circles Dies (3rd & 4th from the center).

To create the background, I used the Magical Meadow Stamp Set.  I used the Pretty Peacock, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path & Misty Moonlight inks and had fun stamping onto Basic White cardstock, randomly, leaving the center white (where the sentiment layers would go).

The embellishments I chose are Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels for a little sparkle on the cards.

Between the sentiment layers, I looped Linen Thread twice and adhered behind the white circle and adhered with dimensionals.
The sentiment layers were adhered with dimensionals as well.

Inside my card I carried over the stamping on the Basic White cardstock layer.

I also stamped the envelope flap similar to the inside of the card.


Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
