Let Your Colors Shine

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Beth McCullough from the USA. I hope you enjoy my Let Your Colors Shine project.

Stampin Up Team Sampler created by the Stamping Mom's Joy Team. Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/let-your-colors-shine #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

My Stamping Mom’s Joy Team does a 3″ x 3″ Sampler Swap at least four times per year. In order for a dozen or more people to independently make a square and have them all coordinate into a beautiful Sampler, color is very important! For this Sampler we chose all the new In- Colors Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya and Evening Evergreen. We also added So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather, Basic Black and Basic White. I added a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ layer to each square and adhered them to a 12″ x 12″ sheet of Basic White Cardstock. The frame is from Michael’s Craft store. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or contact me at Beth@StampingMom.com

We typically have more than nine participants, so what do we do with the extra squares? Pop it on a card front and you have another card ready to mail just like that! I turned the square I made for the Sampler Swap into the card above.
I hope the projects you’ve seen here on my blog today have inspired you & brightened your day. Please see the list below & hop through all of the people on the list to see all our projects. You don’t want to miss any!”

Winter Sampler Home Decor

The 3″ x 3″ squares on this Sampler were made by friends on my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team and I. You can find out more about my team at the bottom of this post.

I made the double square in the upper left hand corner. It includes a skier because I can’t wait to ski with my family in Park City, Utah in a few weeks. I taught my husband and all my kids how to ski, but now they are all better than me. I taught my oldest son, Sean, how to ski when he was three. He refused to go to the Daycare Ski school so I spent the entire week in Colorado skiing with him hanging on to my legs with his skis in between mine. Luckily I never fell on him. 🙂 Today, skiing is one of Sean’s favorite things to do. He’s actually in Seattle today on a work trip and skiing vacation.

We had so many people participate this time, we had enough for two complete samplers. We usually do nine 3″ x 3″ squares for each sampler, this time we added a double square at 3″ x 6-3/4″. There is “joy” on both samplers because we are called the “Joy Team.”

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0077 is International Polar Bear Day which is on Feb 27. Who knew there was a International Polar Bear day? We celebrated a little early in Iowa today with a blizzard!

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you!

Here’s what some of my team have to say about being part of our Joy Team:

Marcelyn said, ” I enjoy all the zooms, getting new ideas, and the great friendships. Doing the swaps and samplers. Learning new fun folds.”

Angie said,” I have enjoyed getting to know new people who have the same love for card making. It has been sad that we couldn’t get together in person but we have been doing zoom calls every week. It’s fun learning how to make new cards. It’s a great group and Beth is a great leader!”

Sheryl said, “Beth creates the kind of cards that I love to receive and makes me want to create them for others. She inspires everyone in our group to design unique 3×3 squares that turn into beautiful samplers for us all to share and enjoy. Thank you Beth!”

Sharon says, “Belonging to Beth’s group is so nice. I enjoy Zoom classes that keep us connected to our Joy team, keeps us informed, gives us a chance to ask questions and learn new ways to make cards. It’s so nice to have the opportunity to virtually meet other people who enjoy making cards. Beth encourages us to try new things and is very willing to answer questions and help us out. Beth’s Facebook presence keeps us informed and entertained through her Facebook Live sessions.”

Christmas Sampler Cards and Product Shares

Stampin Up Christmas card made by demo Beth McCullough with the Tags, Tags, Tags stamp set. Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gifts at https://stampingmom.com/christmas-sampler-cards-and-product-shares #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

Do you have everything ready for Christmas? This was going to be the year I sent everyone a handmade card and made homemade gifts for everyone! I’ve made lots of cards, but I haven’t mailed many yet. And if by some chance your Christmas cards arrive a few days after Christmas, just know that your recipients will still feel the love and joy from your greeting. Many people enjoy receiving Christmas cards after the 25th. I hope all of my people fall into the “enjoy receiving Christmas cards after the 25th” category. Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts on this and whether you got all your cards mailed in time.

You may know my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team and I love to make 12″ x 12″ Samplers (or framed art to hang in our homes) and give as gifts. Sometimes I have extra 3″ x 3″ squares and like to turn them into cards. On the card above, I added a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Pear Pizzazz layer and then popped it up on a Real Red card base that I’d run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder. Bam! Easy card done!

This card also started as a 3″ x 3″ square from the Christmas Sampler. I added this to a Mossy Meadow Double Step card base. You can see the template to make the Double Step fun fold card here or watch a video showing how to make a Double Step fun fold card. The video shows my favorite Christmas card of the Season shown below. While you’re over on You Tube, please subscribe to my channel- Stamping Mom. I do Facebook Lives every Wednesday at noon (CST) and upload them to YouTube.

In case you haven’t seen the Christmas Samplers my team and I make, I’ll show you some below. We used the Heartwarming Hugs DSP, which was so popular this year it will be available again next year.

Everyone makes some 3″ x 3″ squares and we swap them so that everyone has a wide variety with which to make their Sampler.
