Cards from the Creative Escape - potential of 29 card designs!

I cannot believe that it as only been 4 weeks since the Autumn 2022 Creative Escape closed.  I wanted to share some of the cards we made at the various classes offered during the weekend. There are 2 Make & Take sessions and an additional optional 4 add-on classes/events offered.  I hope you enjoy a peek at the massive creativity that happened at our Creative Escape!

The Saturday add-on class was Christmas cards featuring the Brightest Glow bundle.  This was such fun and after they completed their 8 card kits they had enough product to design an additional 12+ cards plus.
 

Saturdays' Make and Takes were all about the popular 2022-2024 In Colors.  This card featured our Sweet Sorbet color.


Parakeet Party is this matchbook fun fold card.


The Friday add-on class featured the Biggest Wish stamp set and these beautiful cards.


I love our Kraft note cards and envelopes with the Design a Daydream designer series paper. 


They are fun and happy cards!


Here are some of the cards from the optional Stamping Bingo event on Friday evening. 


Stamping Bingo featured the Celebrate Everything designer series paper.


So many fun, festive prints, and this is only half of the 6 cards we made during Stamping Bingo!  I used the Good Feeling stamp set for the card below.


The Hope & Peace stamp set was featured at the optional class Sunday afternoon. Participants had card kits to make 2 each of 5 designs plus lots of extra products to use at home.

Summer Stamping Bingo - I Say Hello


Summer Stamping Bingo was so much fun today!  I love seeing my bingo ladies and it has been several months since we got together.  One of the five projects we made was this darling Pressed Petals journal.  It has an enchanting floral embossed cover that coordinated so nicely with the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper and our Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim.

We use my gym, Curves Boise, and have the whole place to ourselves for the afternoon.  Here the ladies are deeply focused on tracking their bingo cards.


After a few games of Bingo we stop for our stamping projects.  This stamp station included our Water color pencils.  You can see them coloring here.


This is the card that they made.  We used the Water color pencils on the corners to complement the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.



Each person received "I Say Hello" stamp set in their goody bag and will be able to use it over and over for projects at home.  We used almost every image in the "I Say Hello" stamp set:

This stamping station had two card projects and each design used a Stamparatus for perfect stamp image placement. 


The display boards featured unique designs made by demonstrators from all over the USA.


Everyone stamped at the stamp stations and then returned to their tables to assemble their projects.


This sheet music DSP was a fun background for the graduation theme card.


It was fun to see friends, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, and daughters all come to stamp together!


Stamping stations mean that supplies can stay in one location and people can move around to each project.  There is less waiting and crowding with this process and everyone gets to move around and get acquainted.


 This was my favorite card among my designs.  The Rococo Rose scalloped ribbon is such a nice texture.  Also the Mossy Meadow card stock was embossed with the Country Floral embossing folder before it was punched with the Tailored Tag punch - this really elevated the texture and complexity of the design.


Each participant received a 6 page color tutorial for their projects.  This meant they could know their supplies and details as they assembled their projects.  I didn't have to instruct each person, I could mingle and help where I was needed.


The Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper was such a great pick for this stamp set and the cards I designed.  I liked the blue flowers and burlap, it has a calming tone for this sympathy card.


One of the nicest parts of a stamping event is meeting other stampers and making new friendships!


The two display tables also held the Raffle gifts.  There were all sorts of product packs, embossing folders, and kits.



As you can see, the "I Say Hello" stamp set has a lot of versatility to suit many kinds of projects.  I hope that my cards and journal inspire you to use the "I Say Hello" stamp set in your stamping.

These lovely ladies are the Bingo winners!
Tiffany took home the Blackout Bingo prize: "For the Love of Felt" kit.
Marianne selected the "On My Mind" Paper Pumpkin.  Dianna got a full product share from the 2019 Occasions catalog.  Kathy has our "Take Your Pick" tool.  Tammie won TWO rounds of bingo so she has the Vases Builder punch and the die brush tip for the "Take Your Pick" tool.   It was such a fun afternoon!

Color Combo Blog Hop - Humming Along


Welcome to the January Color Combo Blog Hop.  This month we have been challenged to design with Gorgeous Grape, Cajun Craze, and Coastal Cabana.  Demonstrators from all around the globe are participating to share their projects featuring these three color.  We hope to inspire you to join our challenge and use these colors in your projects at home.

This was my first time to ink up my new Humming Along stamp set.  I was really happy with my choice as I played with the colors.

My first draft was all ink and I wasn't so happy with it.  Then I remembered to use clear Embossing Powder with the Cajun Craze to get a glossy definition on my flower image. This approach made me delighted with my Color Combo design! 


 I used sponge daubers and Stampin' Write Markers to color in the floral image.  Here you can see how glossy the embossing is with the shading on the flower petals.


One of my favorite tricks with the Everyday Label punch is to create a simple frame with a contrasting or complementing card stock layer.  For this card I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla card stock.  Then I punched it with the Everyday Label punch. Next I punched out a blank Cajun Craze card stock label. I snipped it vertically down the center and adhered it on the backside so that it overhangs and peeks out of each end of the Very Vanilla label.  Have you ever used this layering trick?

I hope you will try this Color Combo on your own project!
