I did the tic tac toe in two directions, straight down the middle and across the bottom. I considered doing the whole board, but couldn’t figure out how to make a mother’s day and father’s day card in one. 🙂 I used my favorite returning embossing folder- Painted Posies and paired it with new colors and new ribbon.

Global Pay It Forward Day

Stampin Up Zany Zoo birthday card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/global-pay-it-forward-day #stampingmom, #bethmccullough, #sharestampinup, #cute&simple4u, #stampinup, #bright&happy  #happy #cardmaking #papercrafting

When I saw the new Stampin’ Up 2023-24 Annual Catalog I couldn’t resist the Zany Zoo Suite Collection. (I tend to purchase beautiful flower stamp sets and darling animals that make me smile.) This guy is so cute with his balloons and is easy to use for a quick birthday card.

There really aren’t measurements for this card, I just started with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base and added layers with the Radiating Stitches dies. You can purchase from my online store and see the products I used at the bottom of this post.

This strip of polka dots makes the inside of the card cute too.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I’m part of the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0132 is Global Pay it Forward Day which is April 28th.

What is Global Pay it Forward Day? Pay It Forward Day is a worldwide celebration of kindness that takes place every year on April 28th. Here’s some examples of what you could do to pay it forward- Donate old towels or blankets to an animal shelter. Say hi to the person next to you on the elevator. Surprise a neighbor with freshly baked cookies or treats! Let someone go in front of you in line who only has a few items. One thing I’ve been doing lately is giving the waiter/waitress an extra big tip just to surprise and delight them. Most of us have lots of cards we could send or that we could give to random people when we are out and about. The world would be a better place if we all tried to do random acts of kindness everyday! I’m going to be more intentional about finding ways to spread kindness.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Global Pay it Forward Day – at all! #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! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used heart, alcohol markers and blue.

Please hop along to all the Festive Friday DT beautiful creations

I have lived in Iowa all of my life, the heartland of the USA. To be clear, in the DSP you see mountains, but in Iowa there are no mountains, only rolling hills and lots of farm country.

For National Pet Day our Inspo List includes dogs, cats, birds and fish. My family has had two sweet pups for the last 16 years and my sweet Molly was the best dog of a lifetime! We had a very special bond like I’ve never known before. My pups are trained Therapy Dogs and are 10lb black and white fluff balls, Bichon-Shih Tzu mixes, otherwise known as Teddy Bear dogs. Maya is still with us and Molly passed away about three months ago. Steve wants to get another puppy, but I’m not sure I can do that anytime soon.

This is my sweet Molly. She always wore purple and spent her entire day by my side. Here she is sitting in the chair beside me as I work at the computer. She always looked at me like “here I am, what do you want me to do next?”

In the Inspo List we didn’t list cows, rabbits, pigs or chickens. When you grow up in Iowa your pet may be any of those. I grew up participating in 4-H and showing steers at the fair. Steve and I met when we were 12 and he sometimes come too our house for dinner during. We always named our steers, including Mork and Mindy. At one dinner, my family started talking about whether we were eating Mork or Mindy. Steve was horrified and wanted to flee! How could we possibly be eating our pets? Steve was a town kid and didn’t understand that it’s just what we did. After that my family was careful not to discuss who we were eating during dinner.

My little sister, Jenn, raised rabbits and she encountered similar dinner difficulties. All this to say, I felt comfortable making an Iowa farm scene for National Pet Day, because farm animals were our pets. Please leave me a comment and tell me about your pets.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I’m part of the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0131 is National Pet Day which is April 11th.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what?

From the Inspo List I used embossing folder, bird, spots, birthday sentiment.
