Retriform Technique

Sep 21, 2020

An old technique reborn

This not one of my most loved techniques. I volunteered to help my upline this weekend. She needed to be with her grandchildren and had several projects to do, so I volunteered to give her and hand with the projects. She had challenged her swappers for this month to create a card using the Retriform Technique. To be honest I had to Google it to find out what is was. Good thing for Google!! I had done this with my clubs a couple of years ago, so I was familiar with the technique even though I didn't know what it was called.


This is what I would consider abstract to a certain degree and it is not one of my strengths. By the time I was done I came to realize it wasn't such a bad technique after all.

This is the most adorable stamp set! The characters are so cute you won't want to miss out on this one. It also has dies that coordinate with it to make it even more adaptable.

The Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack makes amazing, quick and easy cards. Just create a card layout of your choice, add complimentary Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the flower image you chose and you are well on your way to creating a beautiful card. You will need a few basics to take your card to the next level. Here I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies, Eyelet Embossing Folder & Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper. The greeting came from So Sincere.

For this one I used Summer Splash the last of the five colors in the 2024-26 In Color Collection. I used Trusty Tools Bundle and Happy Little Things to bring this color to life. This coordinates well with Pool Party, as suggested by the name, and Pretty Peacock.

This is the fourth of the five new 2024-26 In Colors Petunia Pop. I love this color and it fits in well with our color families. Here I have added Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia to the card as accents. I did partial die cutting using the Simply Zinnia Bundle and the Stampin' Cut Machine.
