Sending Hugs

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  This week’s challenge #FF0098 is Christmas Jumper Day which this year is celebrated on December 10th.  What is Christmas Jumper Day you may ask? Well I googled it and found this- “The most magical time of the year brings with it Christmas Jumper Day which will be celebrated in the UK on December 10th. From ugly sweaters to cozy mock necks, we can’t think of a more fun way to get into the spirit of the season than wearing your favorite Christmas jumper. Better yet, celebrate the joy of giving by raising funds for a great cause on Christmas Jumper Day. What a fun holiday UK! We should adopt this in the USA!

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used green, gold and ribbon.  As you can see, your entry doesn’t have to have anything to do with Christmas Jumper Day. I couldn’t think of a Christmas Jumper Day card, but I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

This is a fun fold I’ve never done before and I’m not sure what it’s called. The diagonal corner tucks in at the bottom. I love the Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the Gold Shimmer Ribbon. You can see all the supplies I used in the Product List at the bottom of this post. I’ll be doing a Live Video on both YouTube and Facebook, next Tuesday, November 30 at 7pm Central and I’ll show you how to make this card. My husband, Steve, and I do Live videos every Tuesday at 7pm CT. I hope you can join us!

Pals Fun Fold Blog Hop

Thanks for joining us for our first ever Pals Blog Hop! You may have arrived from Jackie Beers blog. Welcome!

Stampin Up Christmas fun fold card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/pals-fun-fold-blog-hop #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

This easy fun fold card was taught by Barb Kingsley at my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team weekly meeting. The card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″, 5″, 6″, 8″ and 9″. The layers on the far left are Layer 1: 2-1/2″ x 4″, Layer 2: 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″. The sentiment Layer is 2″ x 4″. The two skinny Layers are 3/4″ x 4″ and the two larger layers on the right are 1-3/4″ x 4″. A great thing about this card is you can use supplies you already have and decorated the card any way you want. I have two different versions to show you and a video of my FB Live showing how easy it is to put together. My husband and I do Live Videos on YouTube and Facebook every Tuesday at 7pm Central. Please join us!

This is what the card looks like folded up. It fits in a standard A2 Envelope.

Here’s another version of the card and the template showing how to make it. I make a template for every fun fold card and keep it in a file. It makes it easy to make the same cards again with different supplies.

November Trip Achiever’s Blog Hop

I’m thrilled to be hopping with the Stampin’ Up! Trip Achievers again this month.

Stampin Up Tidings & Trimmings Christmas card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/november-trip-achievers-blog-hop #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

This simple and pretty Christmas card is made with supplies from the Tidings of Christmas Suite in the 2021-22 Annual Catalog. I also used the Evergreen forest 3D Embossing Folder and the Timeless Label Punch. Have you finished making your Christmas cards?

This is a really pretty color combination for Christmas.

Sometimes the beautiful products in the Annual Catalog get forgotten during the Mini Catalog Sales period.

This is my sweet pup, Molly! She looks so adorable curled up in a ball with her pretty tail hanging down. She waits for me to come downstairs every morning, follows me around and eagerly wants to do anything I say. If I’m standing at my counter crafting, she’s in the bed at my feet. She is a 12 year old therapy pup, along with her older sister, Maya. We have not been able to do Therapy Dog visits since Covid began, so we only get to take them to visit Steve’s Mom in Memory Care and whoever stops by our house. Dog therapy is the extra bonus for my team members that stamp at my house. I don’t like to have favorites with my kids or my dogs, but Molly actually picked me. She slept cuddled up to me when she was a puppy and I think she believes I’m her birth Mom. Everyone knows Molly is “Mom’s dog,” but they all love her too!

This is both our pups sitting in our sunroom. Molly has her head up and Maya is sleeping. They are good friends. Maya is our first family dog. She doesn’t show a preference to any of us. Maya is 14 and walks with us a couple miles almost every morning. (Not so much when it’s too cold or rainy). Did you notice my rug? Yep, not only do I make bright and happy cards, I also like “bright and happy” in my home as well. 🙂

Please enjoy seeing the great projects from other Trip Achievers below.
