Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy team member (Stamping Joy is my group of stampers from all over the USA), fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter. She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays. Today I’m going to share some Marcelyn cards and then some of the birthday cards Marcelyn received for her recent 80th birthday. Thanks to everyone who sent her a card. It truly made her day!
This is such a darling fun fold card.
Here’s the inside. Don’t you love the new Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Free As A Bird Stamp Set?!
This card was made with the Gorgeous Magnolia Lane Suite on page 37 of the Annual Catalog.
Another pretty Magnolia card. These flowers were fussy cut from the DSP.
Do you see the similarity in the card above and the card below? Yep, Marcelyn cased the beautiful card she received from Jo!
Thanks for sending Marcelyn 80th birthday cards. Here’s some more beautiful cards she received.
I love this darling swiss cheese and mouse card made by Judy Houston.
Another gorgeous card, this one made by Jean Ryden.
This lovely card was made by Joyce Feddersen! Thanks so much for all the wonderful cards. Would you believe there’s still more cards to show?
I’ve been doing Facebook Live Videos every Wednesday at noon CST. This week, Marcelyn will be my guest, showing how to make a Tuxedo Fold card. Please join us or you can watch the replay later here

Another fun fold card made with the gorgeous Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). Jean and I made this card for a recent Joy Team stamping event and also for Mother’s Day. I actually gave this card to my sweet mother-in-law, Ruby!
June 4, everyone will be able to buy this gorgeous DSP.
You can add a Whisper White 3-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ piece instead of the Stitched Nested Label, if you need more room to write.
There’s another new challenge at Use Your Stuff this week. This week’s challenge is celebrating Moms – your mom, your grandma, aunt, cousin, sister, step mom, so many different kinds of moms that we have! Please head over and join our challenge here.
Here’s Marcelyn having a blast at OnStage last month. Her very first official Stampin Up event happened just a few weeks before her 80th birthday. Thanks to all of you that have sent Marcelyn birthday cards! She’s still getting them, so if you haven’t sent one yet, it’s not too late.
If you’re here for the first time and don’t know who I’m talking about, Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter. She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays. Today I’m going to share some of the birthday cards Marcelyn received. I’l share more of them on future Mondays.
Ruth Sollberger from Australia sent Marcelyn this beautiful card. I wonder if Ruth knew this is one of Marcelyn’s all time favorite sets?!
Ruth also sent this cute Tea Bag Holder. So thoughtful!
Chris sent this cute card! This Happiness Blooms DSP was one of my favorites and is still available while supplies last or through June 3, 2019.
This darling card came from Donna H from Ontario! This makes me want to get out my Happy Tails stamp set. I’m so glad this set is carrying over to the new catalog.
Sue is from New Jersey and I love her beautiful card! I’d love to know how she made the beautiful watercolor background. Thanks so much to all of you for sending cards from all over the world. Each and every card means so much to Marcelyn. It makes my heart happy too! There are many more cards to show and I hope to have more ready for next Monday.
We had a fun weekend! Steve did his first triathlon since his bike crash last July. Thankfully this one went very well and without incident! Steve and I then spent about four hours planting herbs, vegetables, flowers and a blueberry bush. We’ve had raspberries and strawberries for several years but this is our first blueberry. We weren’t sure where to plant it, so ended up putting it in our raspberry garden. If this was a mistake, please let me know soon. 🙂
We also planted two Peonies. I’ve never had those before either. Steve’s favorite vegetables to grow are cucumbers, onions, green onions, garlic and red peppers. He likes to call one of our small gardens his “Guacamole Garden.” What about avocados? Well, he gave me two avocado plants for Mother’s day two years ago. I’ve kept them alive in our Sun Room, but recently they’ve started not looking so good. I think we are going to have to keep buying the avocados!
We went to church with two of our boys, one girlfriend, and two of our nieces. The seven of us then went to our house and everyone helped get dinner ready and make Rhubarb Crisp (fresh from our garden and it was yummy:) Everyone played cards and I was the biggest loser for the second week in a row. I typically do well with board games and card games, but I’m on a losing streak.
We’ve enjoyed having two of our kids home this summer and visits from many of their friends. I feel a little like we’re running a Bed & Breakfast, but Steve and I love having our kids and their friends around. I hope this phase lasts a long time.
You’ve been asking about shares. Yes, I’m offering them again and will get the details to you soon! I will have paper, ribbon and embellishment shares. We can’t order the supplies until June 4.
My new catalogs have arrived and I’m getting ready to send them out. If you don’t already have a Stampin Up demo, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I will send you a catalog. If you already purchase from someone else, please check with them and they will get a catalog for you.
Please stop by my Stamping Mom Facebook page on Wednesday at noon CST. I’ve got a darling card to show you!
You can always email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you don’t want to place your order online. I’d love to help you! My current host code is 3VM4DYMU .

I love this easy Fun Fold card that I CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) from my friend and Stamping Joy team member, Linda Lais.
Linda made this card with her good friend, Georgia Burhite, and sent it to me for a Stamping Joy Team Event we had last week. Isn’t it darling?! Great job Linda and Georgia!
It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0034 is National Creativity Day (May 30) and/or Fun Fold. #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us.
