Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for November 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month our projects feature items that are considered 3D, Home Décor or Gift Sets. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

Stampin Up Double Pocket Treat Holder 8x8 made with Party Animal DSP from the 2017 Occasions catalog, designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com

This Double Pocket Treat Holder is made with a 8×8 piece of Party Animal Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 2017 Occasions catalog.  I was blessed to be a display stamper for the Kansas City Stampin’ Up! convention last weekend and got to use product that isn’t available to customers until Jan 4, 2017.  I think you should add Party Animal DSP to your wish list!  All kinds of treats will fit in this Double Pocket Treat Holder, but I added a 3×3 card and envelope.  You can probably get four cards to fit, two in each pocket.

Here’s a smaller version made with a 6×6 piece of Party Animal DSP.  Isn’t it adorable?!  Who wouldn’t want a couple Ghirardelli treats to brighten your day!

Let me know if you want the directions, they are super simple to make.  I have a Christmas version made with Candy Cane Lane DSP I can show you tomorrow.

Stampin Up Occasions Catalog 2017 Sneak Peek

Yeah!  I finally get to start showing you what I made as a display stamper for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in Kansas City!

New Stampin Up Occasions 2017 catalog birthday card made with the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Balloon Adventures stamp set and Party Animal DSP designed by demo Beth McCullough. This was one of the display samples from the Kansas City OnStage event. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I made one 12×12 scrapbook page, two A2 cards, several 3×3 cards and many bags and boxes.  I’ll be posting them over the next couple weeks.  Please subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss any.  This is my very favorite card.  I love it and hope you do too!  When Stampin’ Up sent me a box of free products in August, I was thrilled when I opened it and found the Party Animal Suite.  I got the Balloon Adventures stamp set, Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Party Animal DSP and more!  The colors in the the Party Animal Designer Series Paper (DSP) are Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White.  It is bright, happy and fun.  I love it!  I only wish I would’ve thought to make a shaker card with it. I highly recommend the Party Animal Suite of products.  It was so much fun making everything!

I got to go to Center Stage Friday night, which is the special dinner and event for Silver Elite and above.  Yep, I’ve been a demo for 13 years and never qualified for Center Stage until now… because of my promotion in September, I was at Center Stage and it was so cool!  I even got the special bag that only those at Center Stage receive.  After watching others get these for 13 years, I have to admit it was really fun to get one!  Thanks so much to my customers and downline team mates for helping me achieve this fun reward!

I’ll be back with all my other display samples over the next two weeks while I’m busy cleaning up from the construction and moving into the remodeled space in my house.  Everything is supposed to be done this Friday!  I’m also hosting a big Thanksgiving at my house, so it’s going to be a busy couple weeks.  If you visited my house today, you would say it isn’t possible that everything will be done, cleaned and ready by Thanksgiving!  I hope I can tell you on Thanksgiving that we got it all done!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
