Lions, Tigers & Bears, Oh My! Cards Featuring Animals

Welcome to the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop for February 2018. This month our theme is Lions, Tigers & Bears, Oh My! Cards Featuring Animals! You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Beth McCullough @ StampingMom or may have come from the person previous to me on the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

So when I saw “Bear” in the blog hop challenge, I knew I was in. I love teddy bears and used to collect them. In fact, our oldest son, Sean, is named after my favorite teddy bear, Seanie Bear. OK, so it seems weird to me to name a child after a teddy bear, but at the time it made perfect sense. 🙂 Even though I don’t collect them anymore, when Stampin’ Up! came out with Baby Bear I bought it immediately. I got the idea for this card from my friend and fellow demo, Barb Kingsley. Here’s her card I received in a swap in January.

Barb used the new bunny set in the Occasions catalog, Sweet Little Something. Don’t you love the Eclipse technique?!

I used the line of hearts stamp from Heart Happiness to decorate the envelope and inside the card. I try to always decorate the envelope so the recipient knows its “happy mail!” Since I love everyone I send a card to, I might just put hearts on all my envelopes this year. 🙂

Paper: Whisper White, Powder Pink, Flirty Flamingo

Waterfront Stamp Set by Stampin Up

Welcome to the Pals Feburary 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “Case the Catty”. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals will copy or remake projects from any of the current Stampin’ Up! catalogs and brochures. After all, who doesn’t CASE (Copy and Share Everything) once in a while. You may be just starting or hopped over from another Pal. In either case you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

I love the new Waterfront stamp set! It makes it easy to feel like a watercolor artist.

The Stampin’ Up! catalog is an awesome Idea Book. Sometimes I copy a card exactly and sometimes I like to switch things up.

In the catalog, they didn’t use the Crushed Curry layer, but I thought it helped the card pop. I also changed the sentiment because I really like, “Every Little Kindness Makes The World Brighter.”

I made this one with a Pacific Point layer. Which one do you like better?

Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on March 14, 2018. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Don’t forget to leave us a comment. We really like that.

Stampin Up Sure Do Love You Valentines

My sweet Abby is almost a Valentine baby. She will be turning 19 on Friday! You’re probably not surprised that I’ll be on my way later this week to pick her up at college and bring her home for her birthday weekend! Abby’s favorite colors are Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Black. I threw in some Lemon Lime Twist because I thought she’d like it.

I love this card because I know Abby will leave it on her desk and be reminded that God made her amazing! I also have a secret spot to write a mushy note about how much I love my only daughter, but no one will see it except for Abby 🙂

Did you notice the “amazing” framelit? It’s a free SAB item along with “celebrate” and “YOU” with a $100 order. This set will also be in the new annual catalog which begins June 1, 2018. I think all stampers should get it now for free rather than paying for it starting this summer.

OK, so Steve’s favorite colors are not Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry, but I really like the card I made for him.

This was also one of the cards that everyone who came to our Cabin Fever Stamp Camp made.

Have I convinced you to get the Sure Do Love you Bundle and the free Celebrate You Thinlits Dies?

Are you wondering about my boys? I love them a lot too, but they don’t seem to care so much about getting cards from me. The three boys want Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts. These are my classic Reese’s gift boxes which each contain two Reese’s hearts.

I made this Eclipse Valentine at my Joy Team meeting last week! Marcelyn and Pat were showing us how to do this by popping the letters up on Fun Foam.

Jean and Allison came over to stamp this weekend. Allison made some candy treats for me to share with my BSF group. She used the Striped Heart from the Heart Happiness set and cut them out with the Sweet and Sassy Framelits.

Allison brought this adorable Valentine over to show me.

Allison made this at my house. Do you have the Party Pandas yet? Another free Sale-A-Bration set.

Jean brought over this stunning star card. She used two sets of slits instead of just one. What a fun afternoon with Jean and Allison!

Please stop by on Wednesday for the Pal’s Blog Hop!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
