Scrapbooking

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!

For more inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the  Festive Friday Challenge Design 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!”

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.

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

Christmas Team Samplers

Well, it’s official! My sweet husband, Steve, is now a Stampin’ Up supporting demonstrator! He’s been working from home since COVID began and every Wednesday at noon Central time when I do my Facebook Live, I would ask him to go work out or at least be really quiet. Being quiet is not one of Steve’s super powers! Finally, I asked him to monitor the comments during my FB Live. After a couple of Wednesdays, he started talking on the videos and to our surprise, everyone loved Steve and wanted him to start demoing the cards. Now he’s starting to come up with his own creations and wants to come to our Stampin’ Up OnStage events and meet the friends we chat with every Wednesday. 🙂

I upload my FB Lives to YouTube and after Steve joined me, we went from a couple hundred subscribers, until last night when we got to 1000 Subscribers!

Thanks to everyone who watches on Stamping Mom FaceBook, subscribed to our YouTube channel or leaves us a “thumbs up” or comment on YouTube or Facebook! We really appreciate you!! Now we get to figure out how to do Live videos on YouTube! 🙂

I have a growing team of demos in several states and we get together every week for a Zoom call. We learn how to do a new fun fold card or 3-D gift project, share our creations from the week, learn all the Stampin’ Up news and give each other care and support. Does this sound like something you would enjoy? If so, please email me and we can chat about all the details. I have everyone from casual stampers who joined just for the 20% discount, to business builders and everyone in between. Everyone is welcome on our team! It doesn’t matter where you live in the USA, you will have fun and be part of a kind and positive group of stampers. 🙂

We had so many people participate in our Christmas Sampler we got enough squares to make two Samplers each. Some gave the second one away as a gift and others made Christmas cards from the extra 3″ x 3″ squares.

Here’s what a couple of our Stamping Mom’s Joy Team members said about being part of our team.

Marcelyn said, “I enjoy all the zoom calls, getting new ideas, the great friendships, doing the swaps and samplers, and learning the 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!”
