Easter

Flowers Galore & More

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Flowers in the Garden. We hope you are inspired by all the wonderful creations the Pals share with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we love reading your comments. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Daffodil thank you card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/flowers-galore-more #stampingmom, #bethmccullough, #sharestampinup, #cute&simple4u, #stampinup, #bright&happy #happy #cardmaking #papercrafting

I love to grow fruit, vegetables and flowers in my gardens. Just in time for Easter, about ten bunches of daffodils were blooming beautifully in the gardens in front of my house. These stunning daffodils convinced me I needed to use the Daffodil Dies before they retire at the end of the month. The stamp set is sold out, but the dies are still available. They were originally $38 now selling for $15. You do not need the stamp set to make this card.

As I started to make the card, I realized everything I was using is on sale except the cardstock. What a great time to scoop up some awesome products at discounted prices. The Amazing Thanks dies are $10.80 originally $27. The Tea Boutique DSP, Fine Shimmer Paper, Vellum Layering Designs, 2021-23 In Color Opals and Fresh Freesia Ribbon are all drastically reduced. You can see all the products I used to make this card at the bottom of this post.

Measurements & Details-

Card Base 4-1/4” x 11” Mint Macaron
DSP Layer 4” x 5-1/4” -In the video I explain how to cut this down to the perfect “T shaped” layer for this card.
Vellum (2) ¾” x 4-1/4” adhere these with Mini Glue Dots.

Video-

If you watch the video, you will see that the cutting and scoring for this card is very easy with the Stampin’ Up’ Trimmer. Here’s the video showing how to make this card.

The sentiment inside is from the brand new Wonderful Thoughts stamp set which will be available to customers beginning May 2, 2023.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team; The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on May 10th, when our theme will be a Tic Tac Toe challenge, where our Design Team will create projects, using elements/supplies that are three in a row, column, or diagonal from the tic tac toe board.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

We had so much fun watchin Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeye Women’s Basketball team make it all the way to the National Championship!! They lost to LSU in the Championship game on Sunday, but they brought a lot of joy to Iowans throughout the season. Way to go Hawkeyes! (Steve and I are both graduates from the University of Iowa.) Caitlin Clark grew up in our hometown, West Des Moines, Iowa, as did Shawn Johnson, the great Olympic gymnast from 2008. We are so proud of these awesome Iowa women and the example they set for others! 🙂

Easter Bunny Easel Card

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I’m on the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0130 is International Children’s Book Day which is April 2nd.

International Children’s Book Day! What a great day to celebrate! I was a book worm growing up and I raised three book worms. I love reading and I love reading to kids. One of my favorite series for ages 9 and up is the Guardians of Gahoole series by Kathryn Lasky. These are fantasy books about a group of owls that will keep kids and adults coming back for more. Steve and I read to our kids every night before bed and it was hard for me to read only one chapter at a time of these books. They are not as scary as Harry Potter.

The Magic Tree House books were easy chapter books for the younger set. We really enjoyed these books too.

My list of favorite books for children is very long so I won’t share them all.

We donated a lot of our kid books, but I kept a couple hundred books to read to my future grandchildren. 🙂

I would love to hear about your favorite children’s books. Please leave me a comment or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com

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 International Children’s Book 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 bright colors, patterned paper, animals.

5-1/2” x 8-1/2” Polished Pink CS scored at 4-1/4”
