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 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Halloween Reese’s Peanut Butter Boxes

I’ve told you this before, but for those of you who are new to my blog…did you know Stampin’ Up! has a gift box for Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins?  My kid’s favorite treat to receive for any holiday is Reese’s Peanut Butter ________!  You know…Hearts, Eggs, Pumpkins, Christmas Trees etc.  Does Reese’s make a Peanut Butter Turkey?  They would like that too.  Anyway, I make these boxes for every holiday that Reese’s and my kids celebrate together 🙂  Here’s the Reese’s Peanut Butter Box for this year.  I copied the theme from yesterday’s Halloween treat box.

It was trick or treat night here in West Des Moines tonight.  It’s always on October 30 and the kids tell a joke and then get some candy.  It’s a beautiful night and fun to connect with our neighbors.  We’ve seen lots of cute kids and also cute dogs dressed in costumes.  The only thing that would make the evening better is if the Cubs win their World Series game tonight!  We need to get that “W” flag flying instead of laying in the bushes.  Yeah!  It’s Monday morning and the “W” flag is up and flying! Go Cubs Go!

 

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
