Anniversary

Valentine Sentimental Swirls

The new “Sentimental Swirls” stamp set is awesome! I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted to make this note card. The swirl is heat embossed with silver. The sentiment is from the Love & Happiness set. The hearts are stitched hearts from the Give It A Whirl dies. They are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. A super easy card, but pretty in real life! This is my Valentine card for my husband, Steve 🙂 You can see everything I used and order from my online store at the bottom of this post.

Here’s another card I made using only the Sentimental Swirls set.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0128 is World Music Therapy Day which is March 2nd.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #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!

From the Inspo List I used stripes, twine, and embossing.

Stampin Up Simply Elegant 60th Anniversary card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/simply-elegant-blog-hop #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

My parents have been blessed with 60 years of marriage and we recently had a party for them to celebrate. A 60th Anniversary is considered the Diamond Anniversary and only 5.5 percent of couples make it that far. I wanted to make them a special card so I got out my Simply Elegant Suite and went to work.

Inside the card I heat embossed the florish and “Happy Anniversary.”

I like this fun fold because it’s easy, stands up well and is just different than the standard card we usually make. Here’s a free pdf showing how to make this card.

Here’s some pictures from the 60th Anniversary party. My parents are in blue on the right. Mom’s brother, Jerry, and his wife, Janice, are on the left. As I was growing up we celebrated almost every birthday at the Happy Joes Pizza Parlor in Muscatine, Iowa with Uncle Jerry, Aunt Jan, and cousins, Chris and Eric. 🙂

Here’s my Dad on the left with his brother, Richard, and sister, Irene. At almost every family get together, I remember these three would get on their knees and hold their feet with their hands and race across the floor. I don’t remember who usually won, but it was always a hoot to see them having so much fun together!

My Grandma Olson would be so happy to see the love and support these three have for each other!

Happy 60th Anniversary Mom & Dad!!
