Thanksgiving Lever Fun Fold

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “My Favorite Season”  – showcasing our favorite stamps and supplies for our holiday project.  You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

It’s hard to choose my favorite season since I love Fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas! I host a big Thanksgiving Dinner every year complete with invitations, fun table settings, party favors, yummy food and homemade pie! My favorite kinds of pie to make are pecan, apple, pumpkin and coconut cream. I even make the crust with lard, which is the way my Dad likes it! When I saw this turkey holding a pie in the Birds of a Feather stamp set, I was sold. Yep, you’re looking at my 2019 Thanksgiving Dinner Invitation!

You can watch my YouTube video showing how to make the Lever Fun Fold card here. The directions start 2-1/2 minutes into the video.

I added a 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ strip of DSP, otherwise everything is the same measurements as the video.

Here’s a free pdf of the directions to make this card.

Fudge Boxes made with Stampin Up Mini Pizza Boxes

Steve likes to make fudge and people seem to enjoy receiving his fudge as a gift.  I have a Pampered Chef stock pot that Steve uses to make double batches of fudge.  He has “stirred” the coating off the pan.  I wonder if that would be under warranty?  Maybe not, if I tell them how many batches he’s made.  Actually we’ve lost count, even for this season.  He started by making fudge for our Thanksgiving guests.  When our sister-in-law accidentally walked into our next door neighbor’s house instead of ours, I texted them to apologize and let them know the person attempting to break into their home was actually our guest.  They replied that as long as a big plate of fudge would be delivered to them soon, there would be no hard feelings. 🙂  Yes, they’ve lived next door for a long time and their kids and grand kids are all fans of Steve’s fudge.

We gave fudge boxes to the Central Iowa Stampin’ Up demos that came for dinner the end of November.  My stamping team received fudge boxes as well as my BSF group and my leaders.  We made 18 fudge boxes for Steve’s coworkers.  We made fudge boxes for friends and neighbors.  If you know us and didn’t get a fudge box, I’m sorry…maybe it’s still coming or maybe we forgot.  I should’ve kept better fudge records.  Steve is also now accepting orders for fudge.  He had a couple people who wanted a double batch for their extended family coming into town. We’re even trading dog sitting for fudge.  Maybe we should trade fudge with a Pampered Chef rep for a new pan!

All our guests at Thanksgiving went home with a box of fudge like the one below.

Which box is your favorite?  Please leave me a comment at the top of this post.

OK, so somewhere in the holiday festivities I forgot about this post which I wrote the end of December.  I have good news, however.  I did call Pampered Chef the beginning of January and can hardly believe it, but they replaced Steve’s fudge pan!  Steve is absolutely thrilled and will be ready to get started again on fudge next November.

These mini pizza boxes are still available and if you do anything crafty you need to buy some!  They are $6 for 8 boxes and are food safe. #144645

I don’t know if you noticed, but I used to call my husband Steve, Superman, when writing about him in my blog posts.  Steve is a humble Christian man and he was embarassed to be called Superman.  From now on he’s just Steve, but between you and me… I think he’s pretty super!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Stampin Up Thanksgivng invitation designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

We host a Thanksgiving celebration at our home every year and I like to send out invitations.

  • The large leaves on the side panels and the “Give Thanks” are heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
  • The small leaves are made with glossy cardstock sponged with Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.
  • The details about the gathering are written on the other side of the invitation.Stampin Up Thanksgivng invitation designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u
  • Hopefully you can see how the Gold Foil leaf and gold embossing really set off this card.  Each card is a little different due to the coloring and placement of the small leaves.
  • Click on a picture at the bottom of the post to order from my online store or see what products I used to make the invitation and fudge boxes.  I send a free gift to everyone who places an order with me.

Our relatives say Steve’s fudge is awesome, so we give everyone some fudge in a decorated mini pizza box at our Thanksgiving celebration.  Please leave me a comment at the top of this post and let me know if you have any Thanksgiving traditions.  There’s details about my one on one card swap at the bottom of this post.

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog –  Stamping Mom, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next in the list.

It’s time for my second one on one card swap.

  • Please mail me a handmade Holiday card (a standard, full-sized 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card) by Saturday, Nov 4.  Please don’t stress about this.  Make a cute card and put it in the mail!

My address is  Beth McCullough  843 26th St.  West Des Moines, IA  50265

  • Please use products from the current Stampin’ Up! catalogs if possible.  If people want to recreate your card, I want them to be able to easily acquire the products they need.
  • Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (just fold one in half and include it with your card) so that I can send your swap back to you.
  • Please don’t write on the inside of your card so that the recipient can use it if they choose to.  I will gather the cards I receive  and mail them out so that everyone who sends me a card will receive a card in return.
  • Feel free to add a note that I will send on to the recipient.
  • I will take pictures of the swaps and share them here on my blog.

The first awesome swap arrived yesterday.  Thanks Toni, I love it! Please don’t forget to get yours in the mail!

Ryan arrived last night with a couple of Okoboji camp counselor friends.  We were so happy to have them here overnight and would have gotten ready for them properly if Ryan would’ve given us more than the five minute notice we received. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
