Expressions In Ink

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 (#18) 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!

The Double Step fun fold card is easy to make. Here’s a link to a video showing how to make the Double Step card. The video shows a different Double Step card, but once you make the card base you can decorate it any way you want. For this particular card the two side panels are 7/8″ x 3-1/8″ Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (DSP). The long panel in front with the embossed “thanks” from the new Biggest Wish stamp set, is 7/8″ x 5-3/8″. The gold foil is 3-1/8″ x 3-1/4″. The Basic White layer and everything on the flower is from the Expressions in Ink Bundle.

The inside of the card has the sentiment embossed in Gold and the cool watercolor stamped image.

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demo since 2003 and have never even come close to earning the incentive trip. This year I am the closest I’ve ever been largerly due to most of my Joy Team members promoting this year, but I need to sell a lot in the next three months. I would love to take my scuba diving husband, Steve, on the cruise to the Western Caribbean. If you enjoy my blog, tutorials, card ideas or Facebook Lives on Wednesday at noon Central, would you be willing to help me? You can click on the button below to shop at my online store.

2019-20 Annual Catalog Product Shares

It’s Time for my 2019-20 Annual Catalog Product Shares

Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares that I’ve done:

“Beth, I just now had time to open my holiday share. You did a wonderful job of separating all the paper and the ribbon and packaging everything. I know you spent a lot of time and effort. Everything is so perfect, I can’t wait to start crafting. Thanks again for the share. Donna”

“Beth, the paper share looks great. Thanks for all the careful labeling and packaging. I love all the papers. Also, the fast delivery. Thanks, Nancy”

Why participate in shares? Shares are an inexpensive way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of what it would cost you to purchase all of them yourself. Customers and Demos alike love having a little bit of everything from the new catalog. When you see that adorable card on Pinterest, you’ll be able to make it because you bought the “I want it all” share!

How Shares Work

Simply EMAIL ME (Beth@StampingMom.com) to reserve your spot in a share. I will then ask you to send me the money via PayPal, or you may send a check.
Once I receive the products, I will cut, count, measure and package up your goodies pronto!
Your papers will be lovingly wrapped and identified to protect them; ribbons will be rolled; and embellishments will be placed into small plastic bags. Your shares will be sent out via Priority Mail.
Please note my paper shares are 6″ x 12″ for most designs. A lot of people do 6″ x 6″, so you are getting twice as much paper with my shares.

Pick from the following 3 choices!

Here’s my herb garden. The oregano on the top of the picture is amazing. Our good friend Ken Pollack gave me a start of this two years ago and I never need to buy oregano again. 🙂 The sage on either side of the pink flower also made it through the winter. The other herbs are newly planted. We go through lots of basil and cilantro, so I buy one plant of each and then plant lots of seeds for the rest of the summer.

This is year two for my asparagus. It’s already so tall we had to add twine to hold it up. The dirt space in front has Spinach and Lettuce seeds planted. Behind the asparagus is one tomato plant. You can also see hostas in the background. If you want any hostas next April, let me know. We have more hostas than we know what to do with.

I’ve always planted Pansies in the Spring, but this year Steve accidentally bought Violas. Best mistake ever! They smell amazing and I don’t have to dead head them. I’ve had these since April 7 and haven’t touched them. From now on we are always planting Violas!

We’ve had a lot of very dark and rainy days lately, but my sweet pup, Molly, is here to prove that she did get to sun herself on the deck one day recently.
