All Occasion

Timeless Tags Thinlit card

Stampin Up All Occasion card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u #GDP073

I was inspired by the Global Design Project Color Challenge.  I love the colors they chose and it helped me whip this card up in to time.  I didn’t do any stamping, but ran the die through four times, once with each of the colors.  Then I pieced the card together using a bit of glue from the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  It made this project very easy.  The Watermelon Wonder oval was made by running the two largest ovals framelits together through the Big Shot.

This would make a great Get Well, Sympathy, Thinking of You or Birthday card.  I’m going to leave the inside blank until I decide who I should send it to.

Hope you’re having a great day!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

 

 

 

Yummy in My Tummy

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for February 2017. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are CASE’ing a project shown in a current Stampin’ Up! catalog. After all, with the Annual, Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs available right now, there is much inspiration from which to choose. We hope you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

My kids are ages 16-26, no one is married and I have no grand kids.  In spite of that, these adorable monsters jumped off the page and begged me to buy them.  I resisted and borrowed the set from a friend.   I had so much fun casing the catalog on page 16 of the 2017 Occasions Stampin’ Up! catalog, I ended up ordering them!  I think you should order them too! 🙂

Above is the picture from the catalog.

This project uses Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The monster is colored with Pool Party ink and a blender pen.  The paws, horns and hat are Pear Pizzazz.  His teeth, star on the hat and M&M’s are Crushed Curry.  In the catalog the entire bag was made with the DSP.  Because I’m thrifty, my bag has DSP only on the front and uses a white lunch sack that I cut down to size.  The back of my bag is covered with Pool Party cardstock.  I can make two bags from each sheet of DSP.  In the catalog I believe they used a window sheet and White Craft Stampin’ Ink.  I didn’t have the White ink, so I decided my monster would have a retired treat cup for his tummy.  I had so much fun figuring out how to make this adorable Monster Bag.  I’ll write a tutorial if you’re interested in specific directions.

On the Hugs tag I used different ribbon, but otherwise it’s pretty much the same as the catalog sample.  The cardstock is Pink Pirouette and the ink is Melon Mambo.  The Scalloped Tag Topper punch used on this tag is a must have punch! The only punches I use more are Circle punches.

Embossed Tag

I’ve been doing lots of stamping, but for some reason I haven’t gotten around to posting what I’ve been making.  Sean has gone back to Seattle, but Ryan is still here.  The amount of food shopping, food prep, and dishes seems way more than it should with just one extra young man here.  Maybe it’s the number of games of Euchre and Hearts that has been taking up more of my time.  I wouldn’t trade the time we’ve spent playing cards for anything, except I am curious how I rarely lose a card game, but during this break I haven’t won a single game.  Ryan on the other hand has been cleaning up! Tonight the kids decided whoever won, should get our Hamilton tickets when the Broadway Musical comes to Des Moines next year.  I may have already told you, but Abby knows every word to every Hamilton song and Keegan also loves the Hamilton musical and sang a Hamilton solo at his Broadway Musical camp last summer.  The problem is we only have two tickets and typically Steve and I use the two tickets.  Stay tuned to find out who ends up getting the tickets.

This tag is way prettier in real life.  I used the aqua painter and Shimmery White card stock.  The snowflakes are embossed in silver and the “Making spirits bright” is embossed in gold.  I added Rhinestones to the snowflakes.  I also used the Silver Glitter Ribbon and a thin gold cord.

Here’s a close up of the tag.

I’m so excited about Sale-A-Bration which began Jan 4.  With every $50 purchase you get to choose and additional free item.  Best deal ever!   The new Occasions catalog also began Jan 4.  It’s full of great stamping fun. Click on the “catalog” tab at the top of my blog to see the new catalogs.

If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! demo, I would love to be your demo and send you the catalogs free of charge.  Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com
