Directions-

Misty Moonlight card base 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.

Cabin Layer 4″ x 5-1/4″ New Horizons Designer Series Paper (DSP). I ran the Grassy Grove die through with Beauty of the Earth (brown tree trunks) and again with New Horizons DSP for the beautifully watercolored grass and trees. The two deer are die cut in Early Espresso.

Here’s a short video showing how to make this card with measurements and directions. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there. My husband, Steve, and I do a Live video every Tuesday at 7pm Central. We have a lot of fun and would love to have you join us! 🙂

Steve and I were in Tucson, Arizona for a business trip last week. The highlight of the trip was having lunch with Mary Fish and strolling through the new catalog. It’s a blessing to be part of her team! 🙂

I would love to be your demonstrator if you don’t already have one. Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com to receive a free catalog.

Catalog Shares

I am doing product shares again for the Annual Catalog. The order for this goes in on May 3rd and your shares will be mailed by May 11th. I haven’t finalized the pricing yet, but will have the numbers by next week. This is wedding shower week at our house and I’m busy getting ready for two wedding showers and out of town guests. It will be so much fun! 🙂

Steve and I got to go hiking in Tucson on two days, but my torn ACL greatly limited what I was able to do.

It was fun to enjoy the warmth and sunshine in Tucson. They have amazing guacamole too!

Creativity Abounds is a world wide design team and we put together a new tutorial bundle every month using Stampin’ Up supplies.

It was a whirlwind March, but with the help of some very sweet friends, and the generosity of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church and Stampin Up demos and customers, we were able to raise $4000 for Marcelyn’s family for funeral expenses. The reminder of Marcelyn’s Stampin’ Up! stash has been returned to her family. My dining room is empty. It’s time to clean the dining room (and the rest of the house) and prepare for my son, daughter-in-law and her family to arrive from Texas for Wedding Shower weekend! We are looking forward to it!

At the same time, many of you bought Ukraine Relief Tutorial Bundles and we have donated $2,000 for the people of Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who helped or purchased from either of these endeavors. I truly appreciate you!!

February Stampin’ Up Trip Achiever Blog Hop

I’m thrilled to be hopping with the Stampin’ Up! Trip Achievers again this month! The trip was cancelled and Stampin’ Up has given us cash to do something of our choice with the money. Steve and I just planned our replacement trip and you probably wouldn’t guess what we are doing.

We are driving a Winnebago Solis 59PX camper van from Forest City, Iowa to Alaska (about 4,000 miles) in 18 days and planning all kinds of crazy adventures along the way! We are fans of the show “Heartland,” so we’ll be stopping in Alberta, Canada to go horseback riding near where the show is filmed. We will be hiking in Banff and Jasper National Parks; Driving through the Yukon; Panning for gold; Camping in Denali; Seeing bear, moose and elk (hopefully not too closely!); and going salmon fishing and whale watching. Please subscribe to my blog here and YouTube channel here. We plan to show you what it is like to camp in a van for 18 days, and our adventures all along the way. Our adventure will begin on May 11, 2022. Thanks Stampin’ Up, all my customers and Stamping Mom’s Joy Team members for making this trip possible! We appreciate all of you!

Do you recognize the dies I used to make these cards? Yep, it’s the Rain Boots Dies. I love this diamond strip and had so much fun making different variations using these diamonds. The colors I used are Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather. The “Happy Birthday” is from the Birthday Chick dies. I used the new Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels that will be available to customers on March 1. You can see all the supplies I used and click to order at the bottom of this post.

Here’s some more traditional Flowering Rain Boots Bundle cards.

I cut out the diamond strip in a variety of colors and just started playing with it. Do you enjoy this type of card making where you cut out a variety and see what looks good? Join Steve and I tomorrow on Tuesday, Feb 15, 2022 at 7pm Central on YouTube and we will be making some other versions of these Rain Boot die cards.

Which card is your favorite? Please leave a comment and let me know.

Tuesday April 19th is deadline to sign up for our next Stamp Camp that will be on April 29 and 30th. When you sign up, you’ll receive a card kit to make 12 projects with written and video directions.  You’ll also get a weekend of fun and 12 more live videos with 12 different projects for a total of 24 projects all using the Symbols of Fortune Suite. There will be fun folds, boxes, techniques and more.  Everything is recorded so if you can’t make it that weekend, you can watch the videos on a different day. Demos and customers alike love our quarterly Creativity Abounds Stamp Camps. Here’s what some of the participants had to say:

Linda D said, “I thoroughly enjoyed my first Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp! I loved the global perspective of demonstrators around the world, the projects in both the make and takes and those demonstrated in the lives. The schedule of having a live video every 2 hours and the tips every demonstrator shared while stamping. Although the Symbols of Fortune Suite was not on my radar, I will be ordering because the event was so awesome and I am sure the projects will be amazing!

Linda L said, “I love that I can catch the live videos, but also can go back even months later and watch any of them, especially the ones I missed. There is no pressure to be at the computer on time or it’s gone. I really enjoy making all the projects and all the tips from demos from all over the world. It’s fun to grab a friend and do the stamp camp together. If you already own the suite collection, you can order a similar amount and still get the card kit and stamp camp free.”

Here’s how to sign up for the Stamp Camp-If you purchase the Symbols of Fortune Suite Collection from me for $82.75 (on pages 22-24 of the Spring Mini Catalog), you’ll get everything for the Stamp Camp for FREE!  You’ll need the entire Suite Collection to make all the projects.  If you’ve already purchased that collection or would rather have a different bundle, you can spend $82.75 in my online store on anything you want, and still get the Stamp Camp free of charge.  You will need to get the ribbon, Polished Dots, Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper and Symbols of Fortune DSP to make the projects.
