I love being a designer for the Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and the challenge this week is Christmas. I have lots of Christmas left to show you and I’m running out of time! Please enter your card, scrapbook page or 3-D item related to Christmas and head over at Use Your Stuff. Ready, go! I can’t wait to see what you create!
Every year Jean and I make Christmas Tags for my dear friend and hair stylist, Lindsay. This year we made around 35. Lindsay attaches them to her delicious chocolate and peppermint candy and gives them to her clients and friends.
The Garden Green and Whisper White tags are cut with the Stitched Nested Dies. The candy canes and bow are cut with the Cup of Cheer Dies. The Holly Embossing Folder is also from Stampin’ Up, but is retired.
I saved the best picture for last! Here is Lindsay’s sweet son holding one of the Candy Cane Treats. He is such a cutie! Merry Christmas everyone!

I love this Snowman Sampler. I actually made it for a gift exchange with my Central Iowa Demo group, but my daughter, Abby, asked me to keep it for her because she liked it so much. I went to a class the day before the Lansing OnStage ( even demos have fun going to classes) and the original darling sampler was designed by Dawn Bourgette. It was fun to meet Dawn and cheer for her as she presented at OnStage the next day 🙂 I came home and added my own twist to it. I wanted to include “Joy” because my team is called, ” Joy Stampers.” We have a fun, growing team of wonderful gals who love to stamp, and use their craft to bring joy to others! If you enjoy stamping, want to spread joy and get your stamp supplies at a discount, you should join us! We are currently in 3 states and part of a very large national team with members in every state!
It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0049 is Christmas (Dec 25). 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 love to help you!
I used the trees, snow/snowflakes and embossing folder off the Inspo List to create my Snowman Sampler.
Here’s a free PDF showing the supplies and directions to make this Snowman Sampler. I purchased the 12″ x 12″ white shadowbox from Michael’s. There’s too much dimension added to put it in a regular frame.
For more inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the Festive Friday Design Team .
I will be doing a “I want it all” share and Designer Series Paper share again for the 2020 Mini catalog. This helps customers and demos alike get a sample of most things in the catalog. I’ll announce the pricing soon and hope you’ll consider purchasing from me.
We went to the Black Tie Iowa Business Hall of Fame Dinner this week. Most of the gals there were in gorgeous evening gowns, updos and fur coats. I don’t care about the updos or fur coats, but every year I say that next year I’ll lose weight and show up in a beautiful long dress. I’m telling you about it so you can hold me accountable and next year I’ll show up in something better than my black pants and sparkly jacket. #triguy, my sweet husband, Steve, always looks great in his tuxedo. 🙂

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for our Retirement Fun Fold Party – showcasing our favorite products from the Holiday Catalog that will be leaving us forever. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love making fun fold cards and this one is super easy. It’s a regular A2 card cut at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Normally you would just score at 4-1/4″. On this card you score at both 4-1/4″ and 7-1/4″. That’s it 🙂 Here’s a free PDF with supplies and directions to make this card.
I used the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), Snowfall accents Puff Paint and Let It Snow Embellishment Kit which are all retiring soon and only available while supplies last.
Here’s what the card looks like flat as it comes out of the envelope. These cute snowman and trees are just fussy cut from the DSP.
The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder. The Blueberry Bushel piece is popped up on dimensionals so the folded part of the card can rest against it. I also left white space for a hand written greeting.
I couldn’t stop with just the cute card and made this coordinating gift box using the Stitched Nested Labels dies. My box shape is cased from demo Brenda Quintana, but I made my box a smaller size and decorated with the snowman. Here’s a link to the video to make the box.
If you don’t have these Let it Snow Suite products already, I hope you get them before it’s too late!
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! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, January 8th, for our Time to Sale-A-Brate blog hop when our Design Team showcase projects using brand new products from the new mini catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure. Don’t miss the fun!
