Hello crafters, card makers, and stampers! This past weekend was the culmination of the card making retreat to go that I hosted with my friend Jaimie. Now that the event is officially over, I’m excited to share all the details with you! The retreat was centred around the Happy Hibiscus and Cake Celebrations Bundles. All of the projects that were included in the retreat used these two stunning bundles.
A big part of the retreat is pampering. I want each of the guests to feel like they are special, loved, and spoiled. Everyone received four small gifts, much like they’d receive if they were at an in person retreat.
One of their gifts was a vanilla cake scented candle. I decorated them using the small flower dies from the Happy Hibiscus Bundle and Brights Designer Paper.
Another gift was a treat package that contained hibiscus tea, birthday cake kisses, and a birthday cake granola bar. Are you seeing how on theme we kept our gifts? We really love a good theme.
I’m notorious for using a ton of dimensionals, so we thought it would be a great idea to gift them a package. Of course they were decorated too!
The final gift was a birthday cake scented hand scrub that I made for them. I hope it provides them some relief from the dry and cold winter weather.
In addition to the pillow gifts, each attendee received a swag bag that contained two packages of designer paper, a full package of embellishments, and a full roll of thread + all the paper supplies needed to create 12 stunning projects. Each of the swag bags was personalized with their name and the card supply packages were decorated too!
Seeing all of the card making retreat to go items together before they went into their boxes to go to their recipients made me so happy. I received several messages from excited retreat guests telling me they loved their goodies, so that really lets me know that all the personalization and love is worth the extra effort to make them feel special.
Join me and Jaimie for our next event in February!
We are already hard at work planning for our next event and we are so thrilled to be using new products from the upcoming Jan-April Catalogue! On February 22nd we’d love to host you for a fun filled day of stamping during our Winter 2025 Stamp Camp! Stamp Camp is a little different than the retreat, as we make the projects together live (we also record everything for you). Read all about it and sign up today as there are limited spots! We’ve already purchased one of the pillow gifts, so we cannot take more people than we have gifts for.
Get all the details and reserve your spot HERE.
When you shop with me, you get rewarded! With every $50 ordered using the monthly host code, you’ll automatically be enrolled in my Stamp Tokens program, plus receive a thank you gift from me.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the project I had to share with you today! You’ll find a full supply list, with clickable links, at the end of this post. Thank you in advance for shopping with me!
