Tip- Can you tell how I made the clouds? Yep, I used the Garden Scene Framelits Dies.  I hand cut between the two “clouds” to make one big cloud so I could stamp, “I’m here for you.”

Waterfront and Holiday Catalog Share 2018

Waterfront-

I had fun making cards with Amy Pousson-Noonan and her Mom, Marie, recently.  Marie wanted to make “Grandma Camp” invitations and here’s what we came up with.

This card is perfect for this week’s Use your Stuff Mood Board Challenge.  The idea is to look at the board and make something that inspires you from the board.  The tropical palm trees and blue water is what we used for our card.

You can use any picture to be inspired to make your card.  Head over to the Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and enter.  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you need help.

Amy is the President of the Des Moines Cycle Club and she was on a totally different card-making mission.  She wanted to mass produce thank yous for an event DM Cycle Club recently hosted.

We used the Note Card & Envelope pack to get these little notes done quickly.  The clubs colors are orange and blue.  I love the stamp set, Enjoy Life, and this biking image.  I do wish our biker on this stamp was wearing a helmet.  In our club, helmets are always required.  Here’s a joke we tell to inspire everyone to wear a bike helmet. “What do you call a biker without a helmet?…A donor!”  Get it?!  Maybe it is a bad joke, but biking without a helmet is extremely dangerous.  When Steve had his accident a couple weeks ago, his bike helmet saved his life and I am so grateful!

Here’s Amy with one of her cards.  If you live in the Des Moines area and are interested in cycling, you should check out the Des Moines Cycle Club

Here’s Marie making her card.  If you live in the Des Moines area, contact me and come make some cards soon!

Tonight is the last week of Pedal Off The Pounds 2018.  Another session will begin around May 1, 2019.  If you are a beginner biker or have a few pounds to lose, you should consider joining us. 🙂

Holiday Catalog Share

It’s Time for my 2018 Holiday Catalog Product Shares

Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares I’ve done:

“Beth, I just now had time to open my holiday share.  You did a wonderful job of separating all the paper and the ribbon and packaging everything. I know you spent a lot of time and effort.  Everything is so perfect, I can’t wait to start crafting.  Thanks again for the share. Donna”

“Beth, the paper share looks great. Thanks for all the careful labeling and packaging. I love all the papers. Also, the fast delivery. Thanks, Nancy”

Why participate in shares? Shares are an inexpensive way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of what it would cost you to purchase all of them yourself.   Customers and Demos alike love having a little bit of everything from the new catalog.  When you see that adorable card on Pinterest, you’ll be able to make it because you bought the “I want it all” share!
