Birthday

Parade of Birthday cards!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me birthday cards and Facebook Birthday wishes!

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Jean Hixson. See more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I love this card made by my sweet friend Jean Hixson.  Jean and I used to work together and have been walking together almost every weekend for about twenty years.  I don’t know what I’d do without Jean in my life!

Even the inside is cute!  Jean put a Post it note inside with a note on it, so I could still use the card and send it on to someone else.  I often use Post it notes in case someone might want to send my card on.  In this case, I love the card too much and need to keep it!  I’m sure some of you will want to know how to make it?

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Linda Mandernach. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I was so happy to find this fun birthday card in my mailbox from my sweet friend, Linda Mandernach.  Linda has been a customer for years and then part of my Stamping Mom Team!   You could be part of my Stamping Mom Team too!  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll tell you all about it.

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Ruth Sollberger. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #Stampingmom #cute&simple4u

This stunning card came all the way from my sweet friend Ruth Sollberger in Austrailia! Ruth is a BSF/Stamping friend and she is a huge encouragement to me. BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) is a nondenominational world wide Bible study. Here’s the verse that was in Ruth’s card: Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.

Ruth also sent me this gorgeous cross which I will always treasure. Thanks so much Ruth!

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Marcelyn Churchill. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

My sweet friend Marcelyn started as a customer, became a Stamping Mom Team member and last fall she joined me at BSF.  Marcelyn creates amazing projects and does most of the event table decorating for her church.  Making a card or gift for someone allows us to do small things with great love.

Stampin Up Birthday card made by Sherrie Olson. More card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

My sweet Aunt Sherrie sent me this adorable card.  She has been stamping with me since I started 15 years ago and I love it when we get to spend an afternoon stamping together.  I’m not sure if she did a rainbow on purpose, but I had a “rainbow” wedding and love rainbows and rainbow colors.

Cubs Birthday card made by Barb Sease. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This awesome Cubs card was made by my sweet BSF/Stamping friend Barb Sease.  Barb and I are both group leaders with the Des Moines Day Women’s BSF.  Superman said this was his favorite card!  He is a little biased. 🙂

Speaking of the Cubs, Sean flew into Chicago today and met Superman, Ryan, Steve’s brothers and families and parents to celebrate Harold and Ruby’s wedding anniversary.  I’m sure they are all having a great time.  Keegan, Abby and I stayed home because Keegan had a required choir contest today and Abby has her last concert with Heartland Youth Choir tomorrow.  Abby’s been in Heartland Youth Choir since she was in third grade.  I was talking to her about her concert today and started crying.  I can’t imagine how many Kleenex I’ll need when I hear the combined choirs sing, “May the Lord Bless you and Keep you,” for the last time after ten years of Abby singing in the choir.

My friend Susan and I dipped 175 cakeballs this morning for my niece Lindsay’s graduation party and Susan’s son’s graduation party.  I’ll be making more for Abby’s grad party soon.  How did they taste you might wonder?  I have no idea, I didn’t taste any.  Why? you might ask. See below.

Diane, my Pedal off the Pounds biking partner, and I rode 16 miles today to Gray’s Lake and back.  It was a gorgeous day in Iowa!  Monday is weigh in day at Pedal off the Pounds.  I’ll let you know if I did indeed pedal off any pounds. Weigh in day is why I didn’t taste the cake balls. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

 

Happy 80th Birthday!

Stampin Up 80th Birthday pop up gift card made with the Number of Years stamp set designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

  • Brights Designer Series Paper Stack
  • Number of Years stamp set
  • Large Number Framelits Dies

We celebrated Superman’s Dad’s Birthday today in Davenport.  Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa Harold!  Grandpa Harold has two goals he’s talked about often.  He wanted the Cubs to win the World Series-check, and he wanted to live to age 80-check! No one else in Harold’s family has ever made it to 80.

I knew his card needed an “80” on it since he was so proud of that.  I had planned to make it a shaker card with glitter floating around inside the 8 and 0.  Unfortunately I forgot to add the window sheet layer.  Next time I’ll remember.  He was pretty happy with card anyway.

Here’s the inside with a pop up Menard’s gift card.  Pop ups are easy to do with any size card.  The key is to make three score lines all one inch apart.  I’ve been trying to get brave enough to do a Facebook Live and show you the Pop Up gift cards and also do one to show you the Envelope Punch Board Boxes.  A couple of you have told me you want the directions.  If I show you how to make them in a live Facebook video, do you promise not to judge me?  Yep, I’m scared to do it.  Maybe with some encouragement I’ll give it a try.

Here’s the Envelope Punch Board box I was telling you about.

Keegan’s jazz choir finished the season this week at the Jazz Champs and ended up being fifth best in the state.  I was very happy with that considering the top four were all varsity jazz choirs, so really Keegan’s was the best junior varsity jazz choir in the state.  With everything, it’s all in how you look at it.  🙂  Anyway, great job Keegan and Vocal Point!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
