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.

Here’s a video showing how to make this box and a soccer box for Isaiah with all the measurements and directions. I also showed some easy note cards using Cutest Crew Bundle.

World Stationery Day

Stampin' Up Silly Old Bear Suite distressed card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  See more cards at https://stampingmom.com/world-stationery-day/

Silly Old Bear Suite Collection- I haven’t been this excited about a new product in a long time! I loved all the stories about Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh growing up. Are you a Pooh Bear fan?

For the Festive Friday Challenge, I had to do distressing techniques. I sponged color onto the Designer Series Paper, ruffed up all the edges with scissors and folded the edges. Now it may look more “artsy”, but I feel like I have to put a note in for the recipient that I bent the corners and scuffed up the card on purpose. Distressing a card distresses me a bit, because I typically try not to smudge, bend, or leave stray marks on my card. 🙂 Are you a fan of distressing? Do you like the look? Please leave me a comment if you would like to receive this distressed card in the mail.

Stampin' Up Silly Old Bear Suite distressed card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  See more cards at https://stampingmom.com/world-stationery-day/

The die cut inside the card is from the Sweet Words & Labels Dies, which are part of the Silly Old Bear Suite. I would highly recommend you get these dies too. They are super awesome and I predict they will stick around even when the rest of the Suite retires.

Welcome to another Festive Friday Challenge! The inspiration for our challenge is World Stationery Day which is April 29th. 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 World Stationery 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 Sepia Colors, Twine and Distressing Techniques.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop is all about the Male Room theme—because the men in our lives deserve handmade cards too! Whether you’re creating for a dad, husband, son, grandson, brother, or friend, this hop is packed with ideas to help you craft something special. Today, the Pals are sharing male-themed card designs using Stampin’ Up! products, from bright and playful styles to classic looks and quick-and-easy layouts. If you’re looking for fresh inspiration (or just a good reason to dive into your craft room), you’re in the perfect place.

Here’s a video with measurements and directions to make this project. Please join us for our weekly live video every Tuesday at 7pm CT. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel here so you get notified each week when I’m live. I do prize patrol each week during my video.

It’s fun to open this card for a big surprise! My first card had birds on the inside, but Steve was sure that fish would be better for a great masculine card. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is called Waterside Retreat.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Keep the inspiration going! I hope my project inspired you to create something special for the guys in your life. Be sure to continue along the hop for even more Male Room inspiration from the Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Next month will be Flowers in Bloom, so mark your calendars!
