Make it Sparkle

“Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Beth McCullough from the USA. I hope you enjoy my “Make it Sparkle” card.

Stampin Up Seascape Bundle card made by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmm.com/make-it-sparkle #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

I started with the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (DSP). This may be the most beautiful sparkly paper ever sold at Stampin’ Up! I added some Genial Gems and Gold Foil paper. The Sea Horse is the star of the show and is covered in Wink of Stella Clear Glitter. It shows up really well in real life. I made this card for my dear friend and team mate, Angie, who loves everything ocean! This card is inspired and cased from another sweet friend and team mate, Georgia Burhite. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation, Georgia!

I hope the projects you’ve seen on the blog hop today have inspired you & brightened your day! You are currently visiting Beth McCullough. Please see the list below & hop through all of the people on the list to see all our projects. You don’t want to miss any!

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.

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demo since 2003 and have never even come close to earning the incentive trip. This year I am the closest I’ve ever been largely due to most of my Joy Team members promoting this year, but I need to sell a lot in the next three months. I would love to take my scuba diving husband, Steve, on the cruise to the Western Caribbean. If you enjoy my blog, tutorials, card ideas or Facebook Lives on Wednesday at noon Central, would you be willing to help me? You can click on the button below to shop at my online store. I give a free tutorial bundle with a purchase of $50 or more. Please use my host code VESRKYWH.

Stampin’ Up Trimmer Tips

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Fun Ways to Use Your Stampin’ Up! Products” where we show our favorite product tips. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Diagonal Fold cards designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/stampin-up-trimmer-tips #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

These Diagonal Fun Fold cards are easy to make, but you need the Stampin’ Up Trimmer to make them. Most other trimmers don’t fit an 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock diagonally.

If you have an abundance of Designer Series Paper (DSP), cut it at 4″ x 5-1/4″ and then cut it in half diagonally. These cards look great in both the horizontal and vertical positions. Use any shape on the front and layer it if you’d like. All you need is your Stampin’ Up Trimmer, DSP, and coordinating cardstock. In a few minutes, you’ll have a stash of cards ready to send or a gift set ready to give to a friend.

I love to make fun fold cards and this Double Step card is one of my favorites!

I’ve attached a 1/4″ x 11″ strip of cardstock on the ruler of my Stampin’ Up Trimmer. It makes it easy to make cards like this one where you cut from 3″ down to 7″ instead of cutting through the entire piece. The Stampin’ Up! Trimmer is only $25 and needs to be in every crafter’s collection.

Even if you’re a seasoned stamper you may learn a tip or trick from my Stampin’ Up Trimmer video found here. (I also show where to attach the strip of cardstock to make it easier to see the ruler on your trimmer.)

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 14th for “Wonderful Cards from the Garden” when our Design Team creates a project with flowers or scenes from the garden. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, have fun in your craft space.
