Stampin Up’s Marcelyn Monday

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, stamping team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter. She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays.

I think it’s important to drink a lot of water and the best way I’ve found to get myself to drink more water, is put Lemon Essential Oil in it. It tastes delicious!

I’m a huge fan of Young Living Essential Oils and sometimes give bottles of oil as gifts, so I asked Marcelyn to design two boxes, one for the 5ml oil and another for the 15ml. If you know anyone who loves Young Living Oils, please tell them Marcelyn is willing to do custom orders for her oil boxes.

I’ve probably showed you this before, but Marcelyn made this for my Stamping Studio. It’s my favorite frame and picture she’s made, and I will always have it proudly displayed. I love it Marcelyn, thank you!

Yep, she makes really big frames too.

If you would like to know how to make this or anything else shown here today, please email Marcelyn at marcelynchurchill@msn.com Marcelyn loves receiving your emails. Please stop by next week to see more of her creations.

Have you made your cards or 3-D projects for the Festive Friday Challenge? There’s still time, the challenge for Employee Appreciation or projects made with Ribbon is open until 8pm on March 5. You can enter three projects per challenge. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Festive Friday- 3 Hershey’s Miniatures Box

It’s time for the second Festive Friday Challenge! This week’s challenge is Employee Appreciation Day or Ribbon. I used both on my Design Team Entry. For Employee Appreciation Day, you can make a thank you card or gift. You can also make any type of project that includes ribbon.

I usually put more decoration on my boxes, but this Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so stunning I couldn’t bear to cover it up.

Are you wondering where I got the Powder Pink Ribbon to match the box? Yep, you can make any color ribbon using Stampin Up! Markers or Blends and coloring the ribbon. It’s quick and easy and dries almost immediately. Use any of the White or Very Vanilla ribbon options that Stampin’ Up! offers.

I experimented with how to decorate the candy inside, but again went with just the Sweet Soiree DSP wrapped around the Hershey’s Miniatures. I love this paper!

So what projects are you going to make for the Festive Friday Challenge? It’s an amazing challenge where you earn a point every time you enter a card or 3-D item. You can submit 3 entries per challenge. You’ll earn 5 points if you are chosen as one of our Festive Friday Faves (three awards given each week!) You can use your points to choose prizes! One of the prizes will be the tutorial to make my 3 Hershey’s Miniatures Box! Make sure you open an account on the Festive Friday Challenge so you can earn your points. Please leave a comment at the top of this post or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you enter the Festive Friday Challenge or have any questions. 🙂 The challenge will be open until March 5 at 8pm CST. #festivefridaychallenge #FF0002

Hope you’re having a great week!

Blessings,

Marcelyn Monday and Use Your Stuff Challenge

Before we get to Marcelyn Monday, I have an entry for my Design Team for Use Your Stuff Challenge.

The challenge is Twinkle, Twinkle- Use something sparkly on your project. Well if you want sparkle, the Painted with Love Suite in the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog is for you. I used the sparkly Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), sparkly Gold Glitter Flakes for inside the “shaker” card and sparkly Love Mini Tinsel Trim! Hope you make a sparkly project and enter our challenge here.

I love this card Marcelyn made this week. Yes, she did have to put the “puzzle pieces” together to fill all the Cherry Cobbler pieces into the Rose Garden framelit.

There are so many different ways to make gorgeous cards with the Rose Wonder stamp set and coordinating Rose Garden Thinlits Dies. Above you can see heat embossing on Vellum Cardstock and then coloring with markers.

The star of this card is the framelit pieces with the images behind painted with reinkers and an Aqua Painter.

This is made with a retired Stampin’ Up! set called Grateful Garden.

Grown with Love is a darling set in the Annual catalog.

Marcelyn can I please borrow this set? I need to make this box!

Can you see they inked up the stamp with Crumb Cake and then used the Calypso Coral and Old Olive markers to color a few flowers and leaves. I love having the markers to go with all the Stampin’ Up ink pads.

If you would like to know how to make this or anything else shown here today, please email Marcelyn at marcelynchurchill@msn.com Marcelyn loves receiving your emails. Please stop by next week to see more of her creations.

I just sent Abby on her way back to college. We had a wonderful birthday weekend celebrating her 19th birthday. Her brothers were huge fans of her choice to go to Latin King for dinner yesterday before church. We also got to have brunch with my parents this morning. If only Sean had been home, I would’ve had a “full nest.” This is the first time she is driving herself back to college. She came back in the house after I thought she had left, I was so happy to be able to hug my sweet daughter one more time!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
