Lots to Love Box

Welcome to the Pals December 2017 Blog Hop featuring “All that Sparkles and Shines”. Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

The new Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) available Jan. 3, 2018 has gorgeous Silver Foil accents.  The Berry Burst 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon was designed to be the perfect match for this paper.

I fell in love with this paper and ribbon when I got to make this Silver Mini Gable Box at OnStage in November!  It’s full of sparkle and shine!  The new Silver Baker’s Twine shines as well.  If you want to add some sparkle and shine to your products, check out the Swee Soiree Suite in the Occasion catalog beginning Jan 3.

I heat embossed the Happy Birthday with Silver Emboss Powder and added a Silver Foil layer behind it.  This box is created with the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies and is perfect for treats, gift cards or the new Whisper White Narrow Note Cards, also available Jan. 3.

Click here for directions to make a Snickers Box.  This box is big enough for a full size Snickers or full size Milky Way.  You can decorate the box in so many different ways.  Here’s an example of some of my boxes from the past.

We had a fun day taking my parents to Keegan’s Christmas Concert with Heartland Youth Choir and then Steve and I went to see the Broadway Musical, Waitress.

Steve’s fudge factory is in full swing!  I’ve given away so many boxes of fudge, I had to call and borrow more boxes.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

 

 

Stampin’ Up Demos in Central Iowa Christmas Party

Christmas table at the home of demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

Thursday evening I was blessed to host the Central Iowa Stampin’ Up! demos for our annual Christmas dinner and party.

Stampin Up Triangle Boxes made by Marcelyn Churchill using the Be Merry Designer Series Paper (DSP). Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

Marcelyn Churchill, my sweet friend and team mate made Triangle Boxes which we filled with Steve’s fudge for a table gift.

Everyone made an ornament from the Be Merry Kit as a make and take.  The ornaments were much bigger and cuter than they looked in the catalog.  If you haven’t bought a kit yet, you should.  You do need a hot glue gun to put them together.

Marcelyn also made these tea light Poinsettias in mini coffee cups.

Marcelyn  made five strings of Paper Lights Garland.  The colors are Tempting Turquoise, Elegant Eggplant, Emerald Envy and Real Red and Smoky Slate.  The ribbon is the Quilted Christmas 1/4″ Ribbon from the Holiday catalog.  Yes, Marcelyn was a busy elf. Not sure what I would do without her!

We also had a gift exchange.  Everyone made beautiful gifts using current Stampin Up products and wrapped the gifts with Stampin Up products.
