Christmas

Boughs of Holly Card & Box

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Seasons’ Greetings. This month’s design team members showcase projects inspired by their favorite seasonal time of the year. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Leaves of Holly Christmas card and box designed by demo Beth McCullough. Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/boughs-of-holly-card-box #stampingmom #cute&simple4u #stampinup #bright&happy

I chose to showcase Christmas for my favorite season of the year. This sweet project is a card and a box. It’s very easy to make. You can see the video with measurements and directions here. The box is 3/4″ x 1-1/2″ x 5″. It can fit lots of different candy including a full size Snickers bar. I tweaked the directions of a project made by DJ Ouellette.

I used the Leaves of Holly Stamp set and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper from the Fall Mini Catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder from the Annual catalog. You can see all the products I used at the bottom of this blog post.

Here’s both sides of the template showing how to make the card. I keep these so I can make this card with different supplies over and over again. If you watch the video, I think you’ll understand the templates. Please email me with questions or comments at Beth@StampingMom.com

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on [second Wednesday]. Our theme will be Focus on the Sentiment, when the design team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

International Dog Day

This card was super fun to make! I was inspired by our two pups and our campervan adventure in May, you can see videos here. The card base is 4-1/4″ x 8′ scored at 1-1/2″, 2-1/2″, 5-1/2″ and 6-3/4″.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0115 is International Dog Day which is August 26th. What a great day to celebrate! I love my dogs so much!

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 dog, pawprint, spots, and texture.

Since it’s International Dog day, I would like to tell you more about our pups.

Maya was our first family dog and is 15 years old. The kids named her after
the lead sled dog in the movie “8 Below” despite the fact that she is a
12 lb. Shih Tzu/Bichon mix “Teddy Bear” dog. (It’s a great movie, you should watch it.) Maya has always believed that she is a full member of the family, on an equal plane with all our
kids. Our 4 kids would take her to the park and she would go down all the slides and race around the playground with them. Maya gets very excited to see people,
standing on her rear legs and waving her front paws until she get
petted. She is a licker, and will stick her tongue in your mouth if you
get too close!

Molly is Maya’s 13 year old half sister. While Maya is our family dog, Molly makes it clear that she is my dog. She follows me everywhere and looks into my eyes to find out what she can do next to please me. She is very obedient, but does have a sneaky streak. Anyone that leaves their lunch on the table to get something in the next room may not have a lunch when they get back. She makes up for it, though, by snuggling, which is her favorite thing to do. I love both of my dogs so very much!

I trained Maya and Molly to be therapy dogs, visiting memory care and assisted living facilities to brighten the spirits of the residents. The residents love telling me stories of their
dogs as they pet my dogs. They have also visited friends and relatives in the hospital, and
have been reading companions to young people learning to read.

Please leave me a comment and tell me about your pups.

Speaking of sled dogs, Yukon really is one. He is an Alaskan Malamute,
who belongs to our son’s girlfriend, Breanne, and her roommate, Claire. On several occasions, he has
joined our “pack” for a few days at a time. Yukon is a gentle giant, who is very patient with Maya and
Molly. Steve loves to take him on long walks and show him off. Yukon
loves it, too, although in reality he is actually walking Steve.

Create Your Own Background

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Create Your Own Background. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Tree for Sale Christmas card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/create-your-own-background #stampingmom #cute&simple4u #stampinup #bright&happy

To create a unique background, I used the new Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder and smooshed white Stampin’ Craft Ink over the top. My ink pad is fairly dry, so it worked well with this technique. I had so much fun making the Polished Pink card, I made the card again with both Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party. The non traditional colors seem to work well for this card. Which color is your favorite? The little silver stars are made with Silver Foil and the 3 star die in the Sale-A-Bration Tree Lot dies.

I have a live video showing how to make this card here with measurements and directions.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on August 10th. Our theme will be Seasons’ Greetings, where we will showcase projects inspired by our favorite seasonal time of the year.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
