Pal’s Blog Hop

Welcome to the July 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re having a Pattern Party! Hoppers will feature projects using their favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and coordinating embellishments. After all, color coordination is a Stampin’ Up! Strength.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the new catalog is so gorgeous, I had trouble picking a favorite. I finally landed on Naturally Eclectic DSP.

Isn’t it pretty?!

Since I am showing you my favorite DSP, I thought I would also show you my all time favorite box.  I was surprised to see my directions to make the Snickers Box have been pinned 10,000 times! That is way more than my other pins. 🙂  Here’s the link to the directions.  You can put a full size Snickers or Milky Way bar or four mini bars in each box.

I used the Night of Navy and Emerald Envy markers to make the two tone tag.

This 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon comes in Berry Burst, Emerald Envy, Night of Navy and Peekaboo Peach.  I recently offered a share of paper, ribbon and embellishments so people could get a little sampling of everything. I was really excited knowing I would be keeping 1/8 of a roll of each of the 50 new ribbons in the annual catalog.  Accidentally, I oversold the ribbon and ended up with no ribbon for myself.  I was actually bummed, so to console myself I bought the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in all four colors!

Stampin Up wedding card made with the Botanical Builders Framelits designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind of activity! We just got home from Kansas City after attending my niece’s graduation party.  She’s a very sweet girl and her party was a lot of fun!  I’m also very happy that the six dozen cake balls I made for her party were a hit!  My Dad is funny.  He said, “Why would you mash up a perfectly good cake?”  Well Dad, when you mix the crumbled cake with frosting and dip it in Almond Bark people seem to like it. 🙂  I’m having trouble keeping my boys out of the cake balls we’ve made for Abby’s party.  I don’t think I’ve told you, but ALL my kids are home!  Ryan is home from college doing an internship in West Des Moines for the summer.  Sean flew home from Seattle on Thursday evening and will be here until May 31.  Keegan and Abby are here because they are still in high school. My Mommy heart is happy having our family of six all under one roof again. 🙂

Last night, our dear friend’s oldest daughter, Lauren, got married.  She was a gorgeous bride and had an elegant black and white wedding.  Lauren likes simple yet elegant, so I tried to make her a card that fits her style.  I also was honored to make the card box for her wedding.

I cut the “Lauren” and “Andrew” from the wedding invitation and mounted it on Basic Black cardstock.  The flowers are made with the Succulent Framelits Dies retiring May 31, 2017 and currently 50% off at only $16.50!

The flowers had Wink of Stella on them and were gorgeous in real life!  Best of all, Lauren was very happy with the card box I made for her.

Parade of Birthday cards!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me birthday cards and Facebook Birthday wishes!

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Jean Hixson. See more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I love this card made by my sweet friend Jean Hixson.  Jean and I used to work together and have been walking together almost every weekend for about twenty years.  I don’t know what I’d do without Jean in my life!

Even the inside is cute!  Jean put a Post it note inside with a note on it, so I could still use the card and send it on to someone else.  I often use Post it notes in case someone might want to send my card on.  In this case, I love the card too much and need to keep it!  I’m sure some of you will want to know how to make it?

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Linda Mandernach. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I was so happy to find this fun birthday card in my mailbox from my sweet friend, Linda Mandernach.  Linda has been a customer for years and then part of my Stamping Mom Team!   You could be part of my Stamping Mom Team too!  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll tell you all about it.

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Ruth Sollberger. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #Stampingmom #cute&simple4u

This stunning card came all the way from my sweet friend Ruth Sollberger in Austrailia! Ruth is a BSF/Stamping friend and she is a huge encouragement to me. BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) is a nondenominational world wide Bible study. Here’s the verse that was in Ruth’s card: Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.

Ruth also sent me this gorgeous cross which I will always treasure. Thanks so much Ruth!

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Marcelyn Churchill. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

My sweet friend Marcelyn started as a customer, became a Stamping Mom Team member and last fall she joined me at BSF.  Marcelyn creates amazing projects and does most of the event table decorating for her church.  Making a card or gift for someone allows us to do small things with great love.

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Sherrie Olson. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

My sweet Aunt Sherrie sent me this adorable card.  She has been stamping with me since I started 15 years ago and I love it when we get to spend an afternoon stamping together.  I’m not sure if she did a rainbow on purpose, but I had a “rainbow” wedding and love rainbows and rainbow colors.

Cubs Birthday card made by Barb Sease. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This awesome Cubs card was made by my sweet BSF/Stamping friend Barb Sease.  Barb and I are both group leaders with the Des Moines Day Women’s BSF.  Superman said this was his favorite card!  He is a little biased. 🙂

Speaking of the Cubs, Sean flew into Chicago today and met Superman, Ryan, Steve’s brothers and families and parents to celebrate Harold and Ruby’s wedding anniversary.  I’m sure they are all having a great time.  Keegan, Abby and I stayed home because Keegan had a required choir contest today and Abby has her last concert with Heartland Youth Choir tomorrow.  Abby’s been in Heartland Youth Choir since she was in third grade.  I was talking to her about her concert today and started crying.  I can’t imagine how many Kleenex I’ll need when I hear the combined choirs sing, “May the Lord Bless you and Keep you,” for the last time after ten years of Abby singing in the choir.

My friend Susan and I dipped 175 cakeballs this morning for my niece Lindsay’s graduation party and Susan’s son’s graduation party.  I’ll be making more for Abby’s grad party soon.  How did they taste you might wonder?  I have no idea, I didn’t taste any.  Why? you might ask. See below.

Diane, my Pedal off the Pounds biking partner, and I rode 16 miles today to Gray’s Lake and back.  It was a gorgeous day in Iowa!  Monday is weigh in day at Pedal off the Pounds.  I’ll let you know if I did indeed pedal off any pounds. Weigh in day is why I didn’t taste the cake balls. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
