Tool Time

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. We all are showing projects this month using a favorite stamping tool. You are currently visiting Beth McCullough from the USA. I’d love it if you would subscribe to my blog here.

My favorite tools that made me fall in love with stamping, are the heat tool, Versamark and embossing powders. Heat Embossing is magical!

I used Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder to create the ” i do” on the front of this card. The layers are from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I love the Black Glittered Ribbon with the Hand Penned DSP and Silver Foil.

“Congratulations” is from the the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the stitched hearts are made with the Give it a Whirl dies. The “i do” and glasses stamps are retired, as is the Sale-A-Bration Beautifully Penned polka dot DSP. Everything else is current and on the product list at the bottom of this post. I put two little pockets on the inside, for a note and check for Sean and Amy.

The Engagement party was in College Station, Texas for our son, Sean, and his fiancée, Amy. Our plane was cancelled and we had a terrible time getting there, but a fabulous time after we finally made it. We loved meeting Amy’s friends and family! It was also our first time to see Sean’s home that he bought a couple months ago in Austin, Texas. On Monday we helped switch out doorknobs, paint, wash windows etc. Sean was pretty happy with the work the three of us got done.



Everyone on the Creativity Abounds Team makes two projects each month. You will see one project on their blog and the other is exclusive to our Monthly Card Tutorial Bundle. There is a sneak peek of the Monthly Card Tutorial projects in the graphic above. You will not see these exclusive projects anywhere else. The tutorials are done in both inches and metric with step by step directions. There are 3 ways to get this awesome Card Tutorial Bundle:

Expressions In Ink

Stampin Up Expressions In Ink thank you Double Step thank you card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampiingmom.com/expressions-in-ink

I’m participating in Kylie’s monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!

How to do Voting?
Once you click on the button below or click here and you can see the photos. Please look for my card (#18) and click on the little heart sign on the right-hand top side of my photo. Once you’ve touched the little clear heart it will turn to Red Color and that is the notification that you voted. You can vote for up to five, but it’s not required, you can also just vote for one. Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it!

The Double Step fun fold card is easy to make. Here’s a link to a video showing how to make the Double Step card. The video shows a different Double Step card, but once you make the card base you can decorate it any way you want. For this particular card the two side panels are 7/8″ x 3-1/8″ Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (DSP). The long panel in front with the embossed “thanks” from the new Biggest Wish stamp set, is 7/8″ x 5-3/8″. The gold foil is 3-1/8″ x 3-1/4″. The Basic White layer and everything on the flower is from the Expressions in Ink Bundle.

The inside of the card has the sentiment embossed in Gold and the cool watercolor stamped image.

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demo since 2003 and have never even come close to earning the incentive trip. This year I am the closest I’ve ever been largerly due to most of my Joy Team members promoting this year, but I need to sell a lot in the next three months. I would love to take my scuba diving husband, Steve, on the cruise to the Western Caribbean. If you enjoy my blog, tutorials, card ideas or Facebook Lives on Wednesday at noon Central, would you be willing to help me? You can click on the button below to shop at my online store. I give free tutorial bundles with a purchase of $50 or more.
