SA Rural Women's Retreat

Last weekend my daughter, Kieran, and I set up a card making table for the SA Rural Women's Retreat in Woomera, SA. We were expecting 4 groups of 10 women but ended up only having 5 women join us (and 4 of those women came twice). It was a little disappointing but the women who took part really enjoyed the cards.

I had made up a set of Christmas cards featuring the Be Merry Designer Series Paper and the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.

Stamp Set: Better Together 

Stamp Set: Cookie Cutter Christmas 

Stamp Set: Hang Your Stocking 

DSP: Be Merry 

Punch: Bell 
Punch: Starburst 
Punch: Pretty Label

Punch: Cookie Cutter Builder 

The ladies enjoyed these but asked for  some birthday cards for the second day. So Kieran and I went home that night and whipped up a batch of birthday cards for them to make on Day 2. These were very popular, especially the balloon one.

Stamp Set: Badges & Banners 

Stamp Set: Daisy Delight 

Stamp Set: Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Stamp Set: Label Me Pretty 

DSP: Birthday Memories 

DSP: Delightful Daisy 

DSP: Naturally Eclectic 

DSP: Pick a Pattern 

Punch: Balloon Bouquet 

Punch: Best Badge

Punch: Daisy 

Punch: Everyday Label 

Punch: Pretty Label

Punch: Starburst 

Embellishment: Gold Faceted Gems 

Although a bit disappointing we really enjoyed teaching the ladies some new skills. None of them had EVER made cards before but they picked it up like real champs.
