April 2023 Thank You Cards

I participate in Bruno and Kylie’s World Wide Training Group and am excited to be part of their monthly Blog Hop. The Blog Hop focuses on the Thank You cards that we are sending to our customers.

Stampin Up Shaded Summer thank you card designed by demo Beth McCullough.

I love to send cards to my customers each month. Here’s a new fun fold I’ve never done before. I have a video showing how easy it is to make this card. You could use whatever Designer Series Paper (DSP) and stamps you already have. I used the Shaded Summer stamp set and Texture Chic DSP which are both retiring, but still available when I wrote this post. 🙂

Measurements & Details

Card Base 5-1/2″ x 11″ score with the short side at the top at 3-3/8″ and 7-5/8″

Cut 1-7/8″ from the top and bottom to the score lines on each side. You’ll have two flaps on one side and one on the other. It’s personal preference which side has two and which side has one. I’ve done it both ways. The video will really help you understand the scoring and cutting for this card.

(2) Gold Foil Layers on top and bottom 3-1/4″ x 1-3/4″

(2) DSP Layers on top and bottom 3-1/8″ x 1-5/8″

(1) Gold Foil Layer for middle 3-1/4″ x 1-5/8″

(1) DSP Layer for middle 3-1/8″ x 1-1/2″

All this to say all three pieces are the same length, but the middle piece is not quite as wide.

Here’s the live video showing how to make this card. We have so much fun doing our live videos and if you’re awake in your part of the world at 7pm CT, we’d love to have you join us!

We had so much fun watchin Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeye Women’s Basketball team make it all the way to the National Championship!! They lost to LSU in the Championship game on Sunday, but they brought a lot of joy to Iowans throughout the season. Way to go Hawkeyes! (Steve and I are both graduates from the University of Iowa.) Caitlin Clark grew up in our hometown, West Des Moines, Iowa, as did Shawn Johnson, the great Olympic gymnast from 2008. We are so proud of these awesome Iowa women and the example they set for others! 🙂

I have lived in Iowa all of my life, the heartland of the USA. To be clear, in the DSP you see mountains, but in Iowa there are no mountains, only rolling hills and lots of farm country.

For National Pet Day our Inspo List includes dogs, cats, birds and fish. My family has had two sweet pups for the last 16 years and my sweet Molly was the best dog of a lifetime! We had a very special bond like I’ve never known before. My pups are trained Therapy Dogs and are 10lb black and white fluff balls, Bichon-Shih Tzu mixes, otherwise known as Teddy Bear dogs. Maya is still with us and Molly passed away about three months ago. Steve wants to get another puppy, but I’m not sure I can do that anytime soon.

This is my sweet Molly. She always wore purple and spent her entire day by my side. Here she is sitting in the chair beside me as I work at the computer. She always looked at me like “here I am, what do you want me to do next?”

In the Inspo List we didn’t list cows, rabbits, pigs or chickens. When you grow up in Iowa your pet may be any of those. I grew up participating in 4-H and showing steers at the fair. Steve and I met when we were 12 and he sometimes come too our house for dinner during. We always named our steers, including Mork and Mindy. At one dinner, my family started talking about whether we were eating Mork or Mindy. Steve was horrified and wanted to flee! How could we possibly be eating our pets? Steve was a town kid and didn’t understand that it’s just what we did. After that my family was careful not to discuss who we were eating during dinner.

My little sister, Jenn, raised rabbits and she encountered similar dinner difficulties. All this to say, I felt comfortable making an Iowa farm scene for National Pet Day, because farm animals were our pets. Please leave me a comment and tell me about your pets.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I’m part of the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0131 is National Pet Day which is April 11th.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about National Pet Day – at all! #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! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used embossing folder, bird, spots, birthday sentiment.
