I cut 1/2″ off the front flap of the card so the stamping on the inside would show on the outside. 🙂

Steve and Beth McCullough- StampingMom.com, Butchart Gardens Victoria,CA

My sweet husband, Steve, celebrated his 55th birthday last week.  We were blessed to be able to fly to Seattle to visit our oldest son, Sean.

Victoria Clipper Ferry

The three of us took the Victoria Clipper ferry and spent the weekend in Victoria, Canada.  Sean had never been to Canada before.  I’ve been to Canada many times since my grandparents had a fishing cabin on Jan Lake, near Flin Flon, Manitoba.  They sold it before Sean was born.

 

Butchart Garden

Butchart Gardens was absolutely beautiful! We had a great time taking pictures.  All these pictures were taken by Sean. 🙂

Here’s one of the plots where they grow plants from seeds.

Butchart Gardens

This is my very favorite picture.  I wish you could see it in real life!

After we were done touring the gardens, we got to experience High Tea.  There were three courses.  We each had our own tower of plates.  The warm course was on the bottom plate, sandwiches in the middle and the dessert on top.  I haven’t been eating sugar since July, but I made an exception to get to try these wonderful desserts.

We had a great time spending the weekend with Sean!  We are super proud of him!  🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Casing Mary Fish- Varied Vases

Are you new to crafting?  Do you wonder how people get their ideas?  In papercrafting we often CASE (Copy and Share Everything)

I love the card above made by my upline, Mary Fish.  This is actually made with the stamp set, Varied Vases, that she helped design as a reward for selling 1 million dollars in stamp supplies.

I have not sold 1 million dollars in craft supplies, but maybe someday… A girl can dream 🙂

I CASE’d Mary’s card and made my own version in my favorite colors.  I love Bermuda Bay and other bright and happy colors.

I  made a cute envelope to match.

Sometimes I take parts of several different cards and put them together.  I also get ideas from nature, looking through catalogs for design ideas etc.  I’d love to hear how you get ideas for your crafting.  You can leave a comment at the top of this post.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Friends of Stamping Mom cards

I love receiving homemade cards in the mail!  I bet you do too!  These are some of the cards and pictures I’ve received.  I’ll do another post soon, because I have more to show you.

Stampin Up thank you card made with the Tranquil Tulips stamp set by Ruth Sollberger. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This awesome card arrived recently from my sweet friend, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) leader, and fellow Stampin’ Up demo, Ruth Sollberger.  I’ve never actually met Ruth in real life, because she lives in Australia and I live in the USA.  It’s on my bucket list to go to Australia and I would be thrilled to meet Ruth.  She’s my sister in Christ and a wonderful source of encouragement for me.  We correspond by email mostly and I love receiving her emails as well. Anyway, don’t you LOVE this beautiful card she sent me?!

Ruth sent me this cute picture in January, after I had posted the picture below on my blog.  She cased mine and came up with wonderfully creative boxes.

Here’s my directions to make the Easy Triangular Box

Ruth gets inspiration from all over the place.  I love that she saw this apron and created this beautiful card.  Way to go Ruth!

Here’s some cute cards Ruth made for her BSF gals.

My sweet friend Cindy Lindquist also makes awesome cards! Love this Cindy!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
