Cards for Kids Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly Creativity Abounds Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you.  We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own.

You’ll want to get the tutorial with measurements and directions to make this unique fun fold card. The soccer goal and ball pop up as you open the card. You could use this same mechanism for any cards you want to pop up. The kids in your life will be delighted with a pop up card!

The full tutorial bundle includes 13 different projects, each with detailed measurements and step-by-step directions. Use whatever supplies you already own. It’s an incredible value—and a wonderful resource for crafters of all levels. It’s available free with a $35 order from my online store or you can purchase it for only $25 here.

Stampin Up Cutest Crew box for kids designed by demo Beth McCullough.  See more card designs at https://stampingmom.com/cards-for-kids-blog-hop/

How many of you have empty Paper Pumpkin boxes laying around? Me too! Here’s a great use for them. I converted this Paper Pumpkin Box using the Party Alphabet dies, Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers and the Cutest Crew Bundle into a special box for my two year old grandson to store his postcards and other cards he receives. In the last couple months, I’ve sent him postcards from the Cayman Islands, New Zealand and Australia. James gets excited when he hears, “you’ve got mail!” He can take his box off his book shelf and look through his cards whenever he wants and because they have a home, they don’t get thrown away. I’ve had fun writing his postcards and drawing pictures of some of the things I write about. I google the thing I want to draw, and then do my best.

Yep, I won’t be winning any drawing awards, but James does “read” the postcards a bit by looking at the pictures. I am most proud of my shark drawing. 🙂 By the way, I’m “Grandma” and Steve is “PaPa.”

Steve’s Mom always sent my kids postcards and I’ve had fun continuing her tradition. Ruby had 13 grandkids and I have one. I probably wouldn’t be googling how to draw a shark if I was sending out 13 postcards at a time.

When the box is sitting on his book shelf, this is what shows so he doesn’t forget where his cards are, and it doesn’t take up much real estate.

Both sides of the box have the row of puppies from Cutest Crew.

Here’s the front side of the box where you open it. When I get the box out, James knows his cards are in there. Soon he can start making cards with me.
