Springtime Joy

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Cute Critters” – showcasing their card/project with adorable animals, birds, or insects for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Springtime Joy set has darling Critters! I love to make treat boxes and fun fold cards, so I have one of each for you today.

Ski Adventure 2021

Monday was the first day on the slopes in Park City, Utah, which is only a stones throw away from the Stampin’ Up Headquarters. I’m much relieved that I can still ski and I still love it as much as ever! The preparation I did exercising and losing weight paid off. Ryan (2nd son- age 25) and I skied together most of the time. We are sensible Blue run skiers who enjoy the majesty of God’s creation. Steve (my sweet husband) and Sean (1st son- age 30) are still the best skiers, spending most of their time on Black Diamond runs. I’m not sure they take time to look around because they are trying not to crash most of the time. 🙂

Even though we had so much fun, there were some difficulties, too. In our condo, the boys room was about 80F degrees and our bedroom was about 50F degrees. I had to have one set of thermal underwear to use for skiing and one set to put on along with several layers of clothing when it was time to go to bed. I told you on Monday’s post about the 35 steps to get down into the condo. We could really feel them after a day of skiing. It made for an even better legs workout.

On Tuesday we took a rest day and went shopping at the Outlet Mall. Steve and Ryan both got new ski jackets and ski pants. Ryan didn’t think he needed a new jacket, but his old one had duct tape on the front of it where it was ripped (a dead give away that maybe it’s time for a new one). We also played several games and I beat Ryan at Chess for the first time ever! I did have a little help from Steve. 🙂 Please stop back on Friday to hear the next chapter of our ski adventure.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 14th when our theme is “Great Family Occasions” when our Design Team creates a project for any special occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.

Winter Sampler Home Decor

The 3″ x 3″ squares on this Sampler were made by friends on my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team and I. You can find out more about my team at the bottom of this post.

I made the double square in the upper left hand corner. It includes a skier because I can’t wait to ski with my family in Park City, Utah in a few weeks. I taught my husband and all my kids how to ski, but now they are all better than me. I taught my oldest son, Sean, how to ski when he was three. He refused to go to the Daycare Ski school so I spent the entire week in Colorado skiing with him hanging on to my legs with his skis in between mine. Luckily I never fell on him. 🙂 Today, skiing is one of Sean’s favorite things to do. He’s actually in Seattle today on a work trip and skiing vacation.

We had so many people participate this time, we had enough for two complete samplers. We usually do nine 3″ x 3″ squares for each sampler, this time we added a double square at 3″ x 6-3/4″. There is “joy” on both samplers because we are called the “Joy Team.”

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0077 is International Polar Bear Day which is on Feb 27. Who knew there was a International Polar Bear day? We celebrated a little early in Iowa today with a blizzard!

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #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!

Marcelyn said, ” I enjoy all the zooms, getting new ideas, and the great friendships. Doing the swaps and samplers. Learning new fun folds.”

Angie said,” I have enjoyed getting to know new people who have the same love for card making. It has been sad that we couldn’t get together in person but we have been doing zoom calls every week. It’s fun learning how to make new cards. It’s a great group and Beth is a great leader!”

Sheryl said, “Beth creates the kind of cards that I love to receive and makes me want to create them for others. She inspires everyone in our group to design unique 3×3 squares that turn into beautiful samplers for us all to share and enjoy. Thank you Beth!”

Sharon says, “Belonging to Beth’s group is so nice. I enjoy Zoom classes that keep us connected to our Joy team, keeps us informed, gives us a chance to ask questions and learn new ways to make cards. It’s so nice to have the opportunity to virtually meet other people who enjoy making cards. Beth encourages us to try new things and is very willing to answer questions and help us out.

Christmas Sampler Cards and Product Shares

Stampin Up Christmas card made by demo Beth McCullough with the Tags, Tags, Tags stamp set. Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gifts at https://stampingmom.com/christmas-sampler-cards-and-product-shares #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

Do you have everything ready for Christmas? This was going to be the year I sent everyone a handmade card and made homemade gifts for everyone! I’ve made lots of cards, but I haven’t mailed many yet. And if by some chance your Christmas cards arrive a few days after Christmas, just know that your recipients will still feel the love and joy from your greeting. Many people enjoy receiving Christmas cards after the 25th. I hope all of my people fall into the “enjoy receiving Christmas cards after the 25th” category. Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts on this and whether you got all your cards mailed in time.

You may know my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team and I love to make 12″ x 12″ Samplers (or framed art to hang in our homes) and give as gifts. Sometimes I have extra 3″ x 3″ squares and like to turn them into cards. On the card above, I added a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Pear Pizzazz layer and then popped it up on a Real Red card base that I’d run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder. Bam! Easy card done!

This card also started as a 3″ x 3″ square from the Christmas Sampler. I added this to a Mossy Meadow Double Step card base. You can see the template to make the Double Step fun fold card here or watch a video showing how to make a Double Step fun fold card. The video shows my favorite Christmas card of the Season shown below. While you’re over on You Tube, please subscribe to my channel- Stamping Mom. I do Facebook Lives every Wednesday at noon (CST) and upload them to YouTube.

Everyone makes some 3″ x 3″ squares and we swap them so that everyone has a wide variety with which to make their Sampler.
