He is Risen!



I’m a designer for Use Your Stuff and this week’s challenge is to use Yarn, String or Twine on your project. I hope you come play along with us and share your creations! Twine was the perfect thing to attach the “hello” tag to my Snickers Box. Want to learn how to make a box for gifting full size Snickers or Milky Way candy bars? I have picture directions here on my blog from back in 2015 here or head over to my YouTube Channel

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy 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.


Marcelyn dropped off this gorgeous Easter card for my family and I. It’s so pretty in real life. I love that it has the cross and HOPE behind it. Here’s a quote from Billy Graham about hope and the cross,

“Easter always brings hope to all of us. For the Christian, the Cross tells us that God understands our suffering, for He took upon Himself at the Cross all of our sins and all of our failures and all of our sufferings. Our Lord, on that cross, asked the question, “Why?” “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?”  And he received his answer, he knew.  To redeem the world, to save you and me from our sins, to give us assurance that if we died we’re going to heaven. He was saying from the cross, I love you and I know the heartaches and the sorrows and the pain that you feel.

Easter points us beyond the tragedy of the Cross to the hope of the empty tomb. It tells us that there is hope for eternal life for Christ has conquered death. It also tells us that God has triumphed over evil and death and hell. This is our hope and it can be your hope as well.”

I love these adorable gingham Easter baskets.

These gingham Thinking of You are so pretty too! If you’re wondering how to make any of Marcelyn’s lovely projects, please email her directly at marcelynchurchill@msn.com

Did you hear I’m doing a Facebook Live every Wednesday at noon Central time? Hope you can join me. I’d love it if you would “talk to me” by commenting during the Live, so I can interact with you.  If you can’t make it at noon, I’ll post the video to my Stamping Mom Facebook page and my YouTube channel later. I’ve added more videos to my YouTube channel. See them here

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Beth

  3. Cut away the top two squares on the right and left. See picture below where it says “Remove”.

  6. Assemble the card as shown in the picture.  Email me with questions at Beth@StampingMom.com

Crafting Forever-Gifts for OnStage

I found these Post-it holders a few years ago, and knew that someday this would be a perfect crafting gift. Recently I needed five OnStage gifts for my team members, and would you believe I had bought five of these?! I regret not buying a few more because Jean and I would’ve liked to have one too. Jean wasn’t going, but she helped me make the gifts. With silver emboss powder we heat embossed the scissors and the saying, “Do something creative every day.” I think this is an awesome saying, because along with prayer and exercise, doing something creative every day really is good for your health and well being. 🙂

We used my favorite 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper with dots. The scissors were colored with the Stampin’ Blends in matching colors. The frame was tight, so we added the Glitter Enamel Dots to the outside. I think everyone liked their gifts. 🙂

Tonight Steve and I attended a Prayer Breakfast Reception at Terrace Hill for those participating in the Iowa Prayer Breakfast tomorrow. Terrace Hill is the Governor’s Mansion.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been inside before. It is stunningly beautiful. They served water infused with fruit, my favorite kind, and food. I’m not sure what kind of food because Steve and I were so busy talking to people we ran out of time to eat. It’s funny because I would not choose to go to things like this, but once I get there, I always find interesting people to talk with.

The retiring list has been a bit confusing. 

It looks like every single stamp set from the 2018-19 Annual Catalog is being retired and that isn’t the case, the carryover sets are being transitioned to Cling Mount.

The stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalog that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalog will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until June 4, 2019 (whichever comes first).

If the inventory is depleted, you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. This means that you may end up purchasing select cling stamp sets (in carryover artwork) before they can be ordered from the catalog!  All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only (with the exception of background stamps in North America) beginning June 4, 2019.

Here is the list of stamp sets that WILL be in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  The stamp sets on this list will not be retiring, they will simply be transitioned to Cling Mount moving forward:

  • Accented Blooms
  • Animal Outing
  • Artisan Textures
  • Barn Door
  • Beautiful Day
  • Beautiful You
  • Bee Thankful
  • Birthday Backgrounds
  • Bokeh Dots
  • Botanical Bliss
  • Country Road
  • Crafting Forever
  • Dandelion Wishes
  • Dashing Deer
  • First Frost
  • Flourishing Phrases

  • Itty Bitty Greetings
  • Kindness & Compassion
  • Label Me Pretty
