Up early in my kitchen this morning and I have just watched the video I shared last night. In that video Sara Douglass, Stampin' Up! CEO and Cori talk about the different styles of creativity catered to in our Catalogues, then made a card using products from the 'Quick & Easy' (2nd) section.
Shout out to my colleague, team mate and friend Krafty Karen for most of the ideas I am sharing today which I CASED directly from what Karen worked on at our Team Retreat last month.
Those of you that have been to Retreats with Karen or I, know that the last day (usually Sundays), are a different vibe to the rest of the stay. Personally, I always feel a little less focussed, a little more pressured - with pack-up time looming, so 'Quick & Easy' or 'Step-by-Step' style projects are PERFECT for me at this time.
I can keep creating but use less brain power doing it because a lot of the creative "heavy lifting" is already done for me.
After lunch on the Sunday of our Team Retreat, Karen kindly gifted me a selection of goodies from several 'Mix & Match' Packs that she had bought AND showed me what she had created with them. I took photos of each card of Karen's that I could copy exactly, bagging the pieces for each card as I went.
