Fine Art Floral Birthday

Have you seen the new Fine Art Floral Suite in the Jan-June Mini Catalog? It’s super pretty! I took this picture at a funny angle because I wanted you to be able to see how stunning the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP) is with a covering of Golden Garden Acetate. The DSP and Acetate is cut at 3″ x 4″ so you can get 12 cards from each sheet! I layered it on Flirty Flamingo and wrapped the 3/8″ Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon around it. The whole piece is popped up on a Foam Adhesive Sheet and adhered to Thick Basic White card stock. I used Gold Embossing powder and the flower from To a Wild Rose on the envelope. It’s a simple yet elegant card that you can send for birthday, thank you, thinking of you or almost any occasion.

I’ll have another easy fun fold made with the Fine Art Floral Suite on Friday.

I love hearing from you. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you’ve been up to. Steve and I are empty nesters who both work at home now. I have been getting out two mornings a week for Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership and Discussion Group. Steve and I do our Facebook Lives on Wednesday at noon Central time. We’d love to have you join us. Go to Stamping Mom on Facebook and you’ll find us there. We go on a walk with our pups every day when the temperature is above freezing. We are planning to go to Park City, Utah to go skiing with our two older sons later this Winter. If you’ve been there, I’d love to hear about where to eat and what to do (besides skiing.)

I taught everyone in my family how to ski, but they are all better than me now. Steve has a bum knee, so that may slow him down enough to ski with me on the blue runs. This will be our first trip since COVID began. If you have any travel advice, please let me know.

Please stop by tomorrow to learn about our new Creativity Abounds team. We are demos from all over the world and make tutorial bundles in both inches and metric. The cards are awesome! Here’s a sneak peek below.

Before Christmas, our son Ryan graduated from Iowa State with a degree in Software Engineering. The best part is he has a job! Here’s the card I made for him. The Large Number Framelits have retired, but they will always be in my stash. 🙂 Numbers also happen to be the challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog this week. Head over to http://useyourstuff.blogspot.com/ and enter your card, 3-D item or scrapbook page containing numbers. Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you would like some help. 🙂

I am incredibly proud of Ryan! I love this sentiment that came from the new, “Incredible Like You,” stamp set, which is in the 2019 Occasion Catalog on page 21.

Here’s my parents, Steve, Abby, Keegan and I showing love and support for Ryan! At least I think Keegan is showing support…the sign he’s holding above Ryan’s head says, “future inventor of something useless.”

My Dad is a 1962 Iowa State graduate! He greatly influenced all my kids and my three boys ended up becoming engineers at Iowa State, just like Grandpa! You can tell how proud Grandpa is here with Ryan and Cy!

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy 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.

I know you’re all going to want to directions to make this, so please contact Marcelyn directly at marcelynchurchill@msn.com

Five demos, including Marcelyn are hosting the next Stampapooloza on Saturday, Feb. 23 at my house in West Des Moines. We have two sessions at 9am and 12:30pm with lunch on your own. $20 for one session or $35 for both.

Hello Cupcake

Festive Friday Challenge

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0023 is New Year’s (Dec 31) and/or Sparkle & Shine. #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card and join us. If you need help figuring out how to enter, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d love to help you.

I decided to make a Sparkle & Shine card since it’s one of the options for Festive Friday this week. Abby got home from college today and helped me finish this card. She loved it so much, she wants it for her birthday card in February. Ever since Abby was little, I often called her, “Abby Dazzle,” so a Sparkle & Shine card is very appropriate for her. It’s so pretty in real life. 🙂 I’m super excited to have Abby home for a whole month over break. Can’t wait for our two college boys, Ryan and Keegan, to get home tomorrow. Sean will get here next Friday and stay for two weeks. The McCullough family will be having all the fun we can think of while we have a full nest. 🙂 I’ve thought of one activity for “Forced Family Fun, ” that we’ve never done before. I can’t tell you about it until after we do it, because the two kids who love me the most read this blog and it would ruin the surprise. (Just kidding, about them loving me the most) 🙂

Are you wondering how I did the presents? It’s an awesome new die, Detailed Birthday Edgelits Dies on page 17 of the new 2019 Occasions catalog. Another one of my favorite new things is the Rectangle Stitched Framelits on page 28. I believe every crafter needs these! Can you see the stitching on the edge of the black foil? What about the gorgeous Lovely Lipstick Foils Sheets? They are on page 12 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog. For each order of $50 you can choose the Foil 12″ x 12″ Sheets and get 4 sheets of Lovely Lipstick and 4 sheets of Grapefruit Grove for free. Sale-A-Bration will be Jan 3- March 31, 2019.

I’m sending catalogs to my customers tomorrow. If you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up! demo, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll send you the new catalogs. I’m also doing “shares” again in January of the new paper, ribbon and accessories. I’ll have the details about the shares soon.
