Stampin Up Baby Bear

Baby Bear

Stampin’ Up announced it’s Color Revamp last weekend at OnStage. My favorite part of the revamp is the return of former In-Color, Costal Cabana. Costal Cabana is a lighter version of my beloved Bermuda Bay!

I’m a designer and hosting the challenge this week at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog. We purchase crafting supplies to make beautiful cards, scrapbooks and gifts, not to just collect the crafting supplies. Use Your Stuff was created to inspire us to use what we already have. The Coastal Cabana ink and cardstock have been in my stash since 2013. I pulled it out today for this week’s challenge of, “Babies.” Please head over to Use Your Stuff and enter the challenge.

Here’s the original Baby card I made with the Eclipse technique a few weeks ago.

On my latest version, I used the fancier banner from Bunch of Banners Framelits. I also added the little heart from the Enamel Shapes- Brights. These are retiring, so get them while you still can.

Here’s the Iowa Hawkeye Bear card I made for Abby last fall.

This was a Chicago Cubs Baby gift for one of my favorite Cubs fans! Notice he got a Real Red Enamel Shape for his heart. I’m so glad Baby Bear made it into the new catalog. Do you have any ideas for what kind of Bear I should make next? Please leave me a comment with your suggestion.

I’m having a Bird Banter class this Thursday, April 19 at 6pm at my house.

Cost is $20 to make 8 cards ( 2 each of these 4) with matching envelopes. Bring your own adhesive.

These cards are darling up close, and you can use any sentiments you’d like.

For a better deal, purchase my Craft Box which contains basic crafting supplies you’ll need for my classes for $50 and get the Bird Banter class for free! You also get to make 16 cards instead of 8.( a $93 value for $50) I’ve sold all my Craft Boxes for Thursday night except for 2. The first two people to contact me get to buy the Craft Boxes and receive the double free class! Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com

If you’ve never stamped with me before, you’ll also get to choose 3 cards with envelopes from my card rack. If you invite a friend who’s never stamped with me, you’ll each get to choose 3 cards with envelopes.

I’ve been busy organizing my Stamping Studio to accommodate the retiring product and new product arriving soon. I’ve also started planning Keegan’s grad party. We became parents 27 years ago and will become empty nesters starting in August. This fall we’ll have three college kids and one college graduate.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Marcelyn Monday with Stampin’ Up Tranquil Tulips

With an order of $150, you are able to choose the Host set, Tranquil Tulips, which will only be available until May 31. It is a set you will probably find for a high price on Ebay next fall.

Which one is your favorite? It makes Marcelyn’s day to hear from you. Please email her at marcelynchurchill@msn.com Please stop by next week to see more of her creations.

If you’ve been reading my blog very long, you probably know I have 4 kids (actually young adults now) and 2 therapy pups.

Ryan is 22 and graduating from Iowa State in December with a Software Engineering degree. Maya is our 11 year old therapy dog. Maya is our best therapy dog because she’s very calm with the people we visit. She’s convinces each person she likes them the best. Maya is our first dog and is the family dog.

Sean is 27 and works at Microsoft in Seattle, WA as a Software Engineer. Molly is our 9 year old therapy dog. Molly is more anxious around strangers. She is my dog. My family gets frustrated when she abandons them to be with me. 🙂

Pictures of Abby and Keegan will be coming soon!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Stampin Up Father’s Day Briefcase

Families First

Welcome to the Pals April 2018 Blog Hop. Join us while we put “Families First” in our hop this month. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals will inspire you with family related projects like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduation or Family Vacations. You may be just starting or hopped over from another Pal. In either case you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

What does your father or husband want for Father’s Day? My husband, Steve, told me Chicago Cubs tickets and Dark Chocolate would be the perfect Father’s Day gift for him. Go Cubs Go!

You could put your father or husband’s favorite things in this 3-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ box.

Linda Parker, UK Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, has a You Tube video called, “Luggage Style Gift Box for Miniature Shots,” that shows how to make this box. The products I used are at the bottom of this post.

Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 when we all “Step It Up with Textures or Techniques”. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Don’t forget to leave us a comment. We really like that.
