I’m participating in Kylie’s monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!

How to do Voting?
Once you click on the button below or click here and you can see the photos. Please look for my card #15 and click on the little heart sign on the right-hand top side of my photo. Once you’ve touched the little clear heart it will turn to Red Color and that is the notification that you voted. You can vote for up to five, but it’s not required, you can also just vote for one. Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it!

Directions-

Misty Moonlight card base 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.

Cabin Layer 4″ x 5-1/4″ New Horizons Designer Series Paper (DSP). I ran the Grassy Grove die through with Beauty of the Earth (brown tree trunks) and again with New Horizons DSP for the beautifully watercolored grass and trees. The two deer are die cut in Early Espresso.

Here’s a short video showing how to make this card with measurements and directions. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there. My husband, Steve, and I do a Live video every Tuesday at 7pm Central. We have a lot of fun and would love to have you join us! 🙂

Steve and I were in Tucson, Arizona for a business trip last week. The highlight of the trip was having lunch with Mary Fish and strolling through the new catalog. It’s a blessing to be part of her team! 🙂

I would love to be your demonstrator if you don’t already have one. Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com to receive a free catalog.

It will be so much fun! 🙂

Steve and I got to go hiking in Tucson on two days, but my torn ACL greatly limited what I was able to do.

It was fun to enjoy the warmth and sunshine in Tucson. They have amazing guacamole too!

March Stampin’ Up! Trip Achiever Blog Hop

Stampin Up Spring Sampler, Stampin' Up 12" x 12", Stampin' Up! Easter decor

I’m thrilled to be hopping with the Stampin’ Up! Trip Achievers again this month!

If you would like to hear about the adventure my husband, Steve, and I are taking in lieu of the 2022 Stampin’ Up Trip that was cancelled, please subscribe to my blog here, or You Tube channel here. We are renting a Winnebago Solis Camper Van and are driving from Iowa through Canada to Alaska. We plan to take videos of our adventures as we horseback ride near the set of Heartland, fish for salmon, take a Whale watching trip, a grizzly bear adventure and more.

This trip is earned by consistently working to grow and share creativity with others. It’s a reward that is earned by just the top demonstrators in the world, fewer than 1% of the total Stampin’ Up! demonstrators globally.

This is our Easter Sampler. My Stamping Mom’s Joy Team does a 3″ x 3″ square swap every couple of months. We pick a theme and colors. For this one, there were 11 of us participating. After we receive the swap squares, we typically add the outer layer to each of the squares on our own to further coordinate the Sampler. Here’s another version below.

The hardest part is deciding which squares to include and which ones to use to make beautiful cards. I had someone in mind for this adorable bunny and sweet little Easter girl, so I made Double Step cards with these.

When you have a 3″ x 3″ square, it’s easy to turn it into a Double Step Card. Here’s measurements and directions to make a St. Patrick’s Day Double Step card I made a couple years ago. Here’s a video showing how to make the St. Patrick’s Day card. I also have a video showing how to make a Double Step Christmas card.

I picked out this square to send to my parents for Easter, so I made another Double Step Card.

Making Samplers together is just one of the perks of being part of my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team. If you live in the USA and want to be part of a great group of kind women who meet online every week, you should email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and consider joining us! It’s way more fun than stamping alone!

The response to the Ukraine Relief Tutorial Bundle has been amazing! Steve and I have decided to match all the donations that will be made from the proceeds of selling this Tutorial Bundle on my site. So far I have sold over 50 Tutorial Bundles, so our match will be over $750. Can you help? Your $15 purchase turns into a $30 donation for Ukraine.

We’ve had a very successful Estate Stamping Sale with the proceeds going to Marcelyn’s family. Marcelyn is my dear friend and Stamping Mom’s Joy Team member who passed away a few weeks ago. This will be set up in my Dining Room until next Sunday, March 27th. If you’re interested and in the Des Moines area, I’ll be open on Thursday 11:15am for an hour and again Saturday, March 26th 9:30-11:30am. Marcelyn made every single card and item on the large table.

I’m going to do a Facebook Live on Saturday, March 26 at noon Central to sell the stamp sets, bundles, punches and dies. This is for US Residents only. Please subscribe to my Stamping Mom FB page to participate.

Please enjoy all the projects as you hop through all the blogs below of fellow Trip Achievers.

March Customer Thank You Cards

I am participating in Bruno and Kylie’s World Wide Training Group again this year and am excited to be part of their monthly Blog Hop.   The Blog Hop focuses on the Thank You cards that we are sending to our customers. 

Stampin Up Daisy 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/march-customer-thank-you-cards-2 #stampingmom #cute&simple4u #stampinup #bright&happy

When making customer thank you cards, it’s fun to come up with something that shows a new idea, but yet it’s easy to mass produce. I was playing around on my Tuesday 7pm Central Live video on March 1, 2022 with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. See the video here. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.) I used the Blending Brush and Highland Heather and this flower mask. I didn’t put ink everywhere and thought it looked pretty awesome. I tried adding a Basic White Daisy and knew that wasn’t the answer. After the Live video was over, I kept working on it and came up with this card. I punched out the Daffodil Daisy twice and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder. The Highland Heather center is embossed the Timeworn Type embossing folder. The Amazing Thanks dies are my favorite for thank you cards.

Ukraine Relief Fundraising Tutorial Bundle

In response to the ongoing crisis, we made a Ukraine Fundraising Card Making Tutorial Bundle. All the proceeds from the sale of these tutorials will be donated to the Red Cross as a contribution from the crafting community to the work they are carrying out with the people of Ukraine.

Who Are we? The Creativity Abounds Design Team is a group of 13 Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. We come together every month to create a Tutorial Bundle with step by step directions and measurements in both inches and metric. We also hold a monthly blog hop and regular online Stamp Camps. The theme for the projects is blue/yellow or sunflowers. I know they are all going to inspire you in your card making – and of course you will be able to change the color of the projects to suit other occasions.

Stampin’ Up’s Statement of the Heart reads:

To LOVE what we do and SHARE what we love. As we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments In this we MAKE A Difference. The Creativity Abounds Design Team hope that in sharing what we love with you, together we might make a small difference.

How Can you Help? Purchase your Tutorial Bundle now and you can download it immediately. We hope you enjoy all the projects inside. Don’t hesitate to email me if I can help with your purchases, or if you have any issues downloading your Tutorial Bundle immediately. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com Here’s the link to purchase the $15 tutorial bundle- https://stampingmom.com/asp-payment-box/?product_id=17242

The response to this Tutorial Bundle has been amazing! Steve and I have decided to match all the donations that will be made from the proceeds of selling this Tutorial Bundle on my site. So far I have sold 37 Tutorial Bundles, so our match will be $555. Can you help? Your $15 purchase turns into a $30 donation for Ukraine.
