Stampin Up Baby Bear

Baby Bear

Stampin’ Up announced it’s Color Revamp last weekend at OnStage. My favorite part of the revamp is the return of former In-Color, Costal Cabana. Costal Cabana is a lighter version of my beloved Bermuda Bay!

I’m a designer and hosting the challenge this week at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog. We purchase crafting supplies to make beautiful cards, scrapbooks and gifts, not to just collect the crafting supplies. Use Your Stuff was created to inspire us to use what we already have. The Coastal Cabana ink and cardstock have been in my stash since 2013. I pulled it out today for this week’s challenge of, “Babies.” Please head over to Use Your Stuff and enter the challenge.

Here’s the original Baby card I made with the Eclipse technique a few weeks ago.

On my latest version, I used the fancier banner from Bunch of Banners Framelits. I also added the little heart from the Enamel Shapes- Brights. These are retiring, so get them while you still can.

Here’s the Iowa Hawkeye Bear card I made for Abby last fall.

This was a Chicago Cubs Baby gift for one of my favorite Cubs fans! Notice he got a Real Red Enamel Shape for his heart. I’m so glad Baby Bear made it into the new catalog. Do you have any ideas for what kind of Bear I should make next? Please leave me a comment with your suggestion.

I’m having a Bird Banter class this Thursday, April 19 at 6pm at my house.

Cost is $20 to make 8 cards ( 2 each of these 4) with matching envelopes. Bring your own adhesive.

These cards are darling up close, and you can use any sentiments you’d like.

For a better deal, purchase my Craft Box which contains basic crafting supplies you’ll need for my classes for $50 and get the Bird Banter class for free! You also get to make 16 cards instead of 8.( a $93 value for $50) I’ve sold all my Craft Boxes for Thursday night except for 2. The first two people to contact me get to buy the Craft Boxes and receive the double free class! Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com

If you’ve never stamped with me before, you’ll also get to choose 3 cards with envelopes from my card rack. If you invite a friend who’s never stamped with me, you’ll each get to choose 3 cards with envelopes.

I’ve been busy organizing my Stamping Studio to accommodate the retiring product and new product arriving soon. I’ve also started planning Keegan’s grad party. We became parents 27 years ago and will become empty nesters starting in August. This fall we’ll have three college kids and one college graduate.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Lions, Tigers & Bears, Oh My! Cards Featuring Animals

Welcome to the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop for February 2018. This month our theme is Lions, Tigers & Bears, Oh My! Cards Featuring Animals! You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Beth McCullough @ StampingMom or may have come from the person previous to me on the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

So when I saw “Bear” in the blog hop challenge, I knew I was in. I love teddy bears and used to collect them. In fact, our oldest son, Sean, is named after my favorite teddy bear, Seanie Bear. OK, so it seems weird to me to name a child after a teddy bear, but at the time it made perfect sense. 🙂 Even though I don’t collect them anymore, when Stampin’ Up! came out with Baby Bear I bought it immediately. I got the idea for this card from my friend and fellow demo, Barb Kingsley. Here’s her card I received in a swap in January.

Barb used the new bunny set in the Occasions catalog, Sweet Little Something. Don’t you love the Eclipse technique?!

I used the line of hearts stamp from Heart Happiness to decorate the envelope and inside the card. I try to always decorate the envelope so the recipient knows its “happy mail!” Since I love everyone I send a card to, I might just put hearts on all my envelopes this year. 🙂
