Happy New Year!

It seems like the new year is a long time away, but really it’s only three weeks! My “To do” list is longer than three weeks worth, so I better get to it.

We celebrate Christmas with Steve’s family on a day other than Christmas, so everyone can spend time with their own families. This year we decided to get together on New Year’s Day to celebrate extended family Christmas, which works well for our son and fiancée who will be visiting from Austin, Texas. So I guess for me, this is like a Christmas card this year. 🙂

This is a lever fun fold card. Here’s a Live video showing how to make it. In the video I turn it in the other direction and make a fun snowman card. All the measurements are clearly given.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  This week’s challenge #FF0099 is New Year’s Day which is always on January 1st of course. 🙂

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 emboss, stars, rhinestones, black, silver, diecuts. Your entry doesn’t have to have anything to do with New Year’s Day.

For more inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the  Festive Friday Challenge Design team.

Sunshine & Rainbows Calendars

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “My Favorite Things.” The Design Team will be showcasing their favorite products from any of the current products and you might even see some sneak peeks, as well! We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My very favorite thing in the new Mini Catalog is the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle! I love seeing an awesome sunrise or sunset. It’s always a treat to see a beautiful rainbow after a storm. God’s handiwork is amazing! What could be better for someone like me who loves making bright and happy cards than the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle. When I saw the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP in the Jan-Feb 2022 SAB catalog, I knew I needed to make Sunshine & Rainbows calendars.

You could send calendars instead of Christmas cards.

Here you can see there’s a “base” inside that helps the calendar stand up easily. I hope you are inspired to make some calendars! I purchased my calendars from Taylored Expressions. All the rest of the supplies are at the bottom of this post.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on January 12th.

Bright Whimsical Trees

Stampin Up Whimsical Trees Christmas Thank you card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and find more fun fold card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/bright-whimsical-trees #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

This may be my favorite card I’ve made this year. In real life it’s super bright and sparkly. The black layer behind the trees is embossed with the Evergreen embossing folder. I used the 2nd and 4th largest Stitched Rectangles dies to make the Silver Foil frame. At the bottom of the post you can find all the products I used to make this card.

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 (#2 ) 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!
