I need four cards for our McCullough Family wedding shower that is coming up soon. When you have four cousins getting married in the same year, the Moms get together and decide eight weekends of McCullough wedding festivities might not be doable. So we decided to combine them and have a family party and celebrate them all together. Now we have the four wedding weekends and one family shower weekend. All the brides also have other separate showers on their own.

I wanted to make four coordinating, but different cards. The Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) is probably my favorite from the annual catalog and will be retiring soon. I also think it’s fun to cut coordinating paper and then create lots of different cards with it.

The response to the Ukraine Relief Tutorial Bundle has been amazing! Steve and I have decided to match all the donations that will be made from the proceeds of selling this Tutorial Bundle on my site. So far I have sold over 50 Tutorial Bundles, so our match will be over $750. Can you help? Your $15 purchase turns into a $30 donation for Ukraine.

March Stampin’ Up! Trip Achiever Blog Hop

Stampin Up Spring Sampler, Stampin' Up 12" x 12", Stampin' Up! Easter decor

I’m thrilled to be hopping with the Stampin’ Up! Trip Achievers again this month!

If you would like to hear about the adventure my husband, Steve, and I are taking in lieu of the 2022 Stampin’ Up Trip that was cancelled, please subscribe to my blog here, or You Tube channel here. We are renting a Winnebago Solis Camper Van and are driving from Iowa through Canada to Alaska. We plan to take videos of our adventures as we horseback ride near the set of Heartland, fish for salmon, take a Whale watching trip, a grizzly bear adventure and more.

This trip is earned by consistently working to grow and share creativity with others. It’s a reward that is earned by just the top demonstrators in the world, fewer than 1% of the total Stampin’ Up! demonstrators globally.

This is our Easter Sampler. My Stamping Mom’s Joy Team does a 3″ x 3″ square swap every couple of months. We pick a theme and colors. For this one, there were 11 of us participating. After we receive the swap squares, we typically add the outer layer to each of the squares on our own to further coordinate the Sampler. Here’s another version below.

The hardest part is deciding which squares to include and which ones to use to make beautiful cards. I had someone in mind for this adorable bunny and sweet little Easter girl, so I made Double Step cards with these.

When you have a 3″ x 3″ square, it’s easy to turn it into a Double Step Card. Here’s measurements and directions to make a St. Patrick’s Day Double Step card I made a couple years ago. Here’s a video showing how to make the St. Patrick’s Day card. I also have a video showing how to make a Double Step Christmas card.

I picked out this square to send to my parents for Easter, so I made another Double Step Card.

Making Samplers together is just one of the perks of being part of my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team. If you live in the USA and want to be part of a great group of kind women who meet online every week, you should email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and consider joining us! It’s way more fun than stamping alone!

The response to the Ukraine Relief Tutorial Bundle has been amazing! Steve and I have decided to match all the donations that will be made from the proceeds of selling this Tutorial Bundle on my site. So far I have sold over 50 Tutorial Bundles, so our match will be over $750. Can you help? Your $15 purchase turns into a $30 donation for Ukraine.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0128 is World Music Therapy Day which is March 2nd.

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!

From the Inspo List I used stripes, twine, and embossing.

I’ve been working hard the last two weeks (along with some sweet friends of mine) getting ready for my dear friend, Marcelyn’s, Stamping Estate Sale. All proceeds go toward her funeral expenses. It’s happening in my dining room on Friday, March 18, 2-6pm and Saturday, March 19, 9-11am. Whether you’re looking for Stampin’ Up ink, stamp sets, dies, punches, DSP or 3-D gift project ideas, and hundreds of already made cards, please stop by and see us! Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com for more information.

This card has been very popular and when I made the video I showed how to make a different card that was very similar. I’ve made another short video with clear directions on how to put this card together. You’ll find the video here.

Here’s the measurements for this card-

Here’s the measurements for the Z fold card. Misty Moonlight 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ New Horizons DSP (2) 2-1/2″ x 4″, 4 x 5-1/4″ Misty Moonlight CS strip 1-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ scored at 2-5/8″ and 5-1/4″ DSP (2) 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ score one of them at 2-5/8″
