Boughs of Holly Card & Box

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Seasons’ Greetings. This month’s design team members showcase projects inspired by their favorite seasonal time of the year. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Leaves of Holly Christmas card and box designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/boughs-of-holly-card-box #stampingmom #cute&simple4u #stampinup #bright&happy

I chose to showcase Christmas for my favorite season of the year. This sweet project is a card and a box. It’s very easy to make. You can see the video with measurements and directions here. The box is 3/4″ x 1-1/2″ x 5″. It can fit lots of different candy including a full size Snickers bar. I tweaked the directions of a project made by DJ Ouellette.

I used the Leaves of Holly Stamp set and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper from the Fall Mini Catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder from the Annual catalog. You can see all the products I used at the bottom of this blog post.

Here’s both sides of the template showing how to make the card. I keep these so I can make this card with different supplies over and over again. If you watch the video, I think you’ll understand the templates. Please email me with questions or comments at Beth@StampingMom.com

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 [second Wednesday]. Our theme will be Focus on the Sentiment, when the design team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Steve & Beth McCullough

 

Steve and I got dressed up and went to a black tie event last week.  He’s pretty cute and sweet.  22 old me made a good decision to marry him. 🙂  His Dad, Harold, has been in the hospital for the last week.  Please pray for him to regain his health.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, stamping team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter.  She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays.

Stampin Up Night in Bethlehem Christmas card designed by Marcelyn Churchill. See more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This was one of Marcelyn’s projects our guests made at Stampapooloza on Saturday!  Everyone loved it!  Yep, it fits in a regular A2 envelope to mail.  Can you tell there’s a battery operated tea light inside?  It’s gorgeous in real life!  I’ll be sharing more of our Stampapooloza projects in the coming days. 🙂 Stampapooloza was a sell out on Saturday and everyone had a wonderful time!

If you place a $50 order with me by Sunday, October 7, and email me your address, I’ll send you a finished card like the one shown above. (Tea light not included, but you can pick them up at Dollar Tree.) My email is Beth@StampingMom.com or bethmcc6@gmail.com  Order online here

If you want to find out how to make any of these projects, please contact Marcelyn directly at marcelynchurchill@msn.com.  She is on vacation until Monday Oct 8, so you won’t hear back from her right away.  🙂

Everyone who has ever stamped with me, my BSF groups and others have benefited from our sweet Allison whether they know it or not.  At Stampapooloza gals would ask, “How did you have time to get all these card pieces stamped and run through the Big Shot?”  I heard Jean (Allison’s Mom), answer more than once, “We have a secret weapon…Allison!”  Allison does a lot of the behind the scenes work for me.  Not sure what I would do if I didn’t have Allison’s help.  In the picture, Allison punched out flowers, centers, put them together and attached to the Dove candy.  This is a little gift for my BSF gals.  Thanks Allison for all your help!  I love and appreciate you!  Today is Allison’s birthday.  Please help me wish her a Happy Birthday!

Are you looking for a Stampin’ Up demo?  Contact me and I’ll send you one of these cards and a new Holiday catalog!
