Cards from an online retreat

 

Hi Stampin' Friend!

I just finished a one and a half day online stamping retreat, and as I told my husband, it was worth the price of admission. I won't go on and on about the details here, but if you would like to know more about it, feel free to ask.

Long story short, I finished 6 cards out of the 8 sessions and hope to do the other 2 projects soon. You can see my results in the above photo. All but one of those cards are fun folds, which I will share with you in this and future posts.

The card that was not a fun fold was this one that features the spotlighting technique. I like that it is a simple design but still very interesting. I used the Butterfly Brilliance stamp, which is retiring at the end of this month. It has matching dies, which I used on another card during the retreat, and which are also retiring. 

This fold was introduced by presenter Brandy Cox and she called it an M-fold. I used some of the Designer Series Paper I earned during Sale-A-Bration and also the butterfly dies that I mentioned above. Another card that is quite easy to make but has the Wow-factor for the person who will receive it!

I'll share more of the Creativate cards in my next post.  Happy Stampin!
