Life is Beautiful

I’m participating in a monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!

How to do Voting?
Once you click on the button below you can see the photos. Please look for my bright pink and brown tree card (#45) and click on the little heart sign on the right-hand top side of my photo. Once you’ve touched the little clear heart it will turn to Red Color and that is the notification that you voted. You can vote for up to five, but it’s not required, you can also just vote for one. Thanks so much!

My friend, Sharon Hashimoto Burkert made a similar card which I loved. I CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) and turned it into a Vertical Joy Fold card and changed some of the details. Card makers are inspired by each other and things they see in the world. Look around, what inspiration do you see for a card?

Here’s a free pdf to make this card. There’s also a YouTube video showing how to make the Vertical Joy Fold card. Please note the inside card is 3-1/4: x 9-1/4″ scored at 4-5/8″. I made this inside card a little bigger to accommodate the tree. In the video the inside card is smaller. Everything with the outside card is the same. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth

Kylie’s Winners Hop

Stampin Up Ornate Borders Thank you card made by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and gift ideas at https://StampingMom.com/kylies-winners-hop-2-2 #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

The Rainbow Glimmer Paper has been on backorder for a long time, but it is back in stock! I hope this card will convince you that you need some. The only tricky part on this card is the black cardstock to the left of the image is cut off when you run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) I just glued it onto the Magenta Madness cardstock right next to the image, and you probably wouldn’t have known it had been cut off until I told you. 🙂 This is a simple thank you card, but I think the recipient will love it because the Rainbow Glimmer Paper makes it so pretty!

Anything made with the Rainbow Glimmer Paper is what I call a happy card. Here’s some more cards that I’ve made with this paper.

Stampin Up Rainbow Thank You card made by demo Beth McCullough.  Please see more card and gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/rainbow-thank-you-2 #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This thank you card was a past top 10 winner.

Stampin Up Zany Zebras card made by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and gift ideas at https://StampingMom.com/zany-zebras #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I used my Stamparatus to make a mirror image of the zebra so these zebra friends could be smiling at each other. The bows in their hair are from the Hippo Happiness set. If hippos can have hair bows, I think zebras need them too. My daughter, Abby, had a bow in her hair everyday from birth until third grade. She came home one day and said she was done with bows and never wore a bow again. It was fun while it lasted. Now I put hairbows on my zebras instead. 🙂 My pups are pretty happy I’m not putting the hairbows on them!
