how to make a card – Page 3

Whimsy & Wonder Thank You

Many people want to send thank you cards after Christmas and I have a special one for you today!

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 (#6) 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!

You can see all the supplies I used and order from my online store at the bottom of this post. The trees are cut from the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper (DSP) using the Christmas Trees dies. The garland, ornaments and small stars are also cut from the Christmas Trees dies (part of the Whimsical Tree Bundle.) The larger Polished Pink stitched stars are cut from the Give it a Whirl dies. The background is the Soft Succulent Shimmer Vellum, super pretty in real life and not nearly as dark as it looks in the picture. I love making frames for cards using the first and third largest Stitched Rectangles. I have made many Whimsy & Wonder projects already and I truly love this Suite!

Join me and some incredibly talented friends from the International Creativity Abounds Design Team on September 17th and 18th for our online stamp camp featuring the Whimsy & Wonder Product Suite! You may look at the samples in the catalog and think you don’t want this set, but wait until you see everything we’ve created for you. I promise you will love it and be thrilled to own this suite!

Do you like cucumbers? Me neither. Well…at least not until I started growing them in my garden. One of my favorite things to do each morning is to go out to my gardens and see what I can pick that day. Today I picked raspberries, cucumbers, lettuce and cherry tomatoes. I use a Norwex Fruit and Veggie cloth to wash the cucumbers and get the little prickly parts off. Then I use a Pampered Chef Crinkle Cutter to cut the cucumber that I’m going to eat that day. I store it in water in the refrigerator. The crinkle cutter gives it a nice texture and let me tell you, I love my home grown cucumbers and I bet you would too!

I planted only two cucumber plants earlier this summer and have harvested dozens of cucumbers. Every yellow flower on the plant turns into a cucumber.

Here’s the health benefits of eating cucumbers. I’m motivated to live healthfully for the rest of my life and eating cucumbers is one little step in the right direction.

Now, is there anyone who can convince me to start eating seafood?

Blessings,

Beth

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demo since 2003 and have never even come close to earning the incentive trip. This year I am the closest I’ve ever been largely due to most of my Joy Team members promoting this year, but I need to sell a lot in the next three months. I would love to take my scuba diving husband, Steve, on the cruise to the Western Caribbean. If you enjoy my blog, tutorials, card ideas or Facebook Lives on Wednesday at noon Central, would you be willing to help me? You can click on the button below to shop at my online store.

Summer Olympics

What’s your favorite Summer Olympics sport? Mine is Gymnastics!

Stampin Up Way to Goat Simone Biles tribute card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/summer-olympics #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

This card is a tribute to Simone Biles, who is not only the best gymnast in the world, but she is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time)! The first time we saw Simone was as a fifteen year old in a gymnastic meet in Chicago. Steve and I were so impressed with her, but had no idea she would become so dominant in the sport of gymnastics. I was a gymnast growing up and have always loved gymnastics since I watched Nadia earn a perfect 10 in the 1976 Summer Olympics. Shawn Johnson, the 2008 Olympian, is from our town, West Des Moines, IA. We followed Shawn’s career as well. I gained great respect the determination and dedication that it takes to make it to the Olympic level watching Shawn practice at Chow’s. Our kids took recreation gymnastics there, so we got to watch Shawn for many years.

In my card, Simone, the G.O.A.T. is dancing across the balance beam holding one of her many gold medals. 🙂

If you’re interested in watching Simone on TV, she’s on NBC Friday, June 25 at 7pm Central and Sunday, June 27 at 7:30pm. We are cheering for you Simone!!

It was nice of Stampin’ Up to make the Way to Goat stamp set so I could make this card for Simone. I used the Playful Alphabet for her name. The beam was created with the In Good Taste DSP. There is a list of all the products I used at the bottom of this post. Please leave a comment or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you have any questions.
