Retreat Crafts

Twice a year, I host a weekend retreat for some of the ladies from my parent group. And of course, I can't resist making some little crafty items.  This year I made bags to hold all our goodies and little thank you cards. The bags are simple plain kraft bags. I added a stamped layered flower. The paper is from a random paper stack from Recollections while the stamp and die cut are from SU. I also added name tags to each bag. The paper is from the same paper stack. I added a little flower and pearl and alphas. The "ribbon" is actually washi tape that I folded in half to attach to the bag.

 

The thank you cards were made form the same paper stack. I created seven different cards in a rainbow of colors. The stamp was a random stamp I found at Michael's that I heat embossed. The washi is a mix of random and SU washi. 

As a last minute craft idea, I made these cute candy holders from my Baker's Box thinlits. Each one is filled with Hershey's Kisses, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Dove Chocolates. Just a little extra something. And the boxes looked gorgeous arranged in a nice rainbow of colors.

Sale-a-Bration Simply Wonderful Cards

Any two great cards featuring Sale-a-Bration products. Initially I wasn't super excited about the Simply Wonderful stamp set. It looked a little too plain for me. But then the nice sentiments really grew on me.

Card #1

A nice and simple card highlighting some of the great SAB DSP.

Card #2

For my second card, I wanted to play around with color and pattern. I had the tag mostly white, but it looked way too plain. My stripe decorative mask came to the rescue adding just enough visual interest to complete the card.
