Stitched Seasons Framelits

Welcome to the Pals August, 2018 Blog Hop. We love to cut it out so this month our creations feature our favorite “cuts” using punches, Framelits and Thinlits from the current Stampin’ Up! catalog.

You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Tip- I cut out the “flower with leave” framelit in both Melon Mambo and Granny Apply Green. I cut each to make my two tone framelit piece.

I added a little strip of the polka dot 6 x 6 DSP to make the envelope cute. This is my favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP) and you’ll find it on the bottom of page 191 of the catalog. I have purchased the dots and stripes in all six color families. This way I have cute paper to go with all of my cardstock colors. 🙂

Recently I was telling you about my favorite ice cream at Whitey’s in the Quad Cities, and learned some of you already know about Whitey’s. 🙂 Last weekend my family went to Chicago to see the Cubs play and since we drive through the Quad Cities to get there, we all enjoyed a treat from Whitey’s. We also stopped and took Steve’s parents out for dinner. This is Ryan, Steve and Abby at dinner. Keegan stayed at camp where he’s working for the summer. Sean flew in and met us in Chicago.

We all had fun at the Cubs game on Saturday. Saturday night we went to a Irish Festival and got to listen to a great Irish Band, Tupelo, in which Sean’s childhood friend, Dan Kristan, was playing the stand up Bass and Electric Bass. On Sunday Abby and I met up with a couple of our friends, first Aiden and her family and later Jenny and her family. It was great to see them all! The guys went to the Cubs again on Sunday. The Cubs won both games which made it even more fun!

Come join us for a day of stamping at my Stamping Studio in West Des Moines, IA. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and reserve your spot. We have a couple spots remaining. Beginners welcome! If you can’t make it on July 21, you can reserve a spot and come stamp with me on a different day.

Which set of ink pads do you want to get for free? Yep, I said free! Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll tell you all about it.:) Two people have already gotten their free ink pads from me this week. This is open to anyone in the United States.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Valentine Triangle Box

Welcome to the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop for January 2018. This month our theme is Valentines! You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Beth McCullough @ Stamping Mom or may have come from the person previous to me on the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

You need a 6″ x 8-1/2″ piece of cardstock to make this box. Recently I made a dozen of these for an event and then realized I had lots of 5″ x 8-1/2″ cardstock leftover. What should I do with that? Well, you can cut that in half, making two 5″ x 4-1/4″. You get two of these and can make a Lots to Love Box a little smaller than the intended size.

As you can see the paper isn’t as long as the die and barely fits width wise. (You can also see I get a ton of use from my Big Shot from the well used plate.)

You can get both of these cut from the 5″ x 8-1/2″ leftover piece and make the box below.

The Tutti Frutti DSP is 2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″. The circle punches are 1-3/4″ and 2″. The heart is from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits dies. The heart is popped up on dimensional. What’s going inside my box? I asked Steve what he would want to receive, and he thought Dove Dark Chocolate hearts would be a great thing to put in this box!

Here’s the Lots to Love Box at it’s intended size of 3″ x 4-3/4″.

I had a lot of questions about directions for the Triangle Box, after I posted it last week. Well, here’s some basic instructions.

I left the back of the box open to put the Lindt Lindor Truffle in the box. I used a little bit of SNAIL adhesive to attach the back flaps. I want the recipient to be able to get the candy out and not ruin the box. The Basic Black 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon is tied on the top of the red box and gold Love Mini Tinsel Trim on the Melon Mambo box.

The DSP on the front of the Triangle box is 1-1/2″ x 2″. I used the 1″ and 1-1/4″ circle punches. The heart is cut from the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies.

Please let me know if you have any questions. My email is Beth@StampingMom.com

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
