It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I’m on the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0130 is International Children’s Book Day which is April 2nd.

International Children’s Book Day! What a great day to celebrate! I was a book worm growing up and I raised three book worms. I love reading and I love reading to kids. One of my favorite series for ages 9 and up is the Guardians of Gahoole series by Kathryn Lasky. These are fantasy books about a group of owls that will keep kids and adults coming back for more. Steve and I read to our kids every night before bed and it was hard for me to read only one chapter at a time of these books. They are not as scary as Harry Potter.

The Magic Tree House books were easy chapter books for the younger set. We really enjoyed these books too.

My list of favorite books for children is very long so I won’t share them all.

We donated a lot of our kid books, but I kept a couple hundred books to read to my future grandchildren. 🙂

I would love to hear about your favorite children’s books. Please leave me a comment or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about International Children’s Book Day – at all! #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! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free. It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used bright colors, patterned paper, animals.

I was at a business conference in Miami Beach, FL last weekend. That’s where I gave my friend this calendar. It was my first time in Miami Beach and I was amazed by the beautiful turquoise water. It was warm and sunny in Miami while it was busy snowing 6 inches at home. I understand why many Iowans winter in Florida!

I made the most of my time there by walking on the beach every morning and enjoying the beautiful sun rise.

Please follow the hop to all the Creativity Abounds team’s beautiful projects.

Best Day Birthday Cards

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, our blog hop theme is Party Time! We hope you will be inspired by all the beautiful creations the Pals made for you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Best Day Birthday Card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/best-day-birthday-cards #stampingmom, #bethmccullough, #sharestampinup, #cute&simple4u, #stampinup, #bright&happy, #happy #cardmaking #papercrafting

I love to make bright & happy cards! The Best Day stamp set combined with this fun fold card and colorful Flowers & More Host Designer Series Paper (DSP) is sure to brighten someone’s day!

Measurements

  • The colors I used are Orchid Oasis, Mango Melody, Parakeet Party, Polished Pink, and Smoky Slate.
  • Cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ colored CS scored at 4-1/4″. Cut 3-3/4″ off the upper right hand corner in both directions. See picture below.
  • Cut and adhere 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White CS inside the card.
  • Cut 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ DSP and then cut diagonally. Adhere the upper right triangle inside the card on top of the Basic White. Adhere the lower left triangle on the front of the card.
  • Cut 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ CS and adhere near the bottom on the front of the card. Cut and layer a 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ CS on top of the first CS layer.
  • Run a scrap of colored CS through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the largest Stylish Shapes circle die. Adhere to card front being careful not to put glue in the upper right hand corner so you don’t glue your card shut. 🙂
  • Stamp the cat image on a scrap of Basic White CS with Black Momento ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the second largest Stylish Shapes circle die. Pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to larger circle die cut.
