Here are our recent Stampin’ Up! Craft Retreat Swaps that we each made for every team member attending the five day retreat. We did the swaps as a shoebox swap. This is where everyone creates a card and then cuts up everything to make that card and packs all the requirements into a box for the other attendees to make that card. It’s a lot of fun and a terrific way to get the creative ideas flowing for the days of crafting ahead of us.
The card above is the card I created using the Hues of Happiness papers. I wanted a quick and easy card for everyone to make as I know we are all eager to get on with our planned projects. This was the theme for this swap, make the card a quick design to recreate.
Here are the other cards we made. Below is Nicole’s Pretty Medallion card. I love using Soft Succulent! It will be retiring in April 2023 so if you haven’t got it yet make sure you do add it to your colour selections.
Now we have Julie’s card pictured below. Julie created her card with the Merriest Moments stamp set and matching Merriest Frames dies.
Now onto Fiona’s swap card. I have had to order the die she used as I really like how the die made this card unique. The die set is Artisan Additions. The punch pieces are from the Bough punch. The The greeting and die used for the greeting come from the Brightest Glow Bundle.
Nextwe have Sharni’s card using the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle and Sweetest Christmas papers. If you haven’t had a good look at this bundle and papers please do as this is fun set to create fabulous cards with. Plus the candy cane die fits the candy canes on the Designer Series Papers.
My final card to share with you is Nicola’s. Nicola created her card using the Trees for Sale stamp set. The background stamp comes from the Oceanfront stamp set. It was stamped off to create a lighter image.
A lovely range of card ideas for you that are all straight forward to create. Julie’s card will take you the longest to create. So if you after inspiration for a Stampin’ Up! Craft Retreat swaps I hope I have shared some great ideas with you today.
Happy Stamping!
