Whimsy & Wonder Fun Fold

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  This week’s challenge #FF0091 is International Literacy Day which is September 8th.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used layers, fun fold, and patterned paper.  You entry doesn’t have to have anything to do with International Literacy Day.  I actually LOVE to read and raised a family of readers! Unfortunately, I don’t have any book type stamp sets right now, so my card is not about Literacy Day. What is your favorite book? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Did you know you can get the Whimsical Trees Bundle ($51.25 value) free when you sign up with the Ultimate Bundle and join my Joy Team? You’ll get a 20% discount on your products and there is no obligation to sell. You’ll also get all my monthly tutorial bundles free of charge. My Joy Team is filled with kind stampers from all over the USA. We meet via Zoom and make a fun fold or 3-D gift item together each week. It’s a great way to have more stamping friends and have something to look forward to each week. 🙂 Sign up here, or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com for more details.

2019 Occasions Catalog Shares, Pop Up Gift Card Holders and Directions

It’s time for my 2019 Occasions Catalog 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!

How Shares Work

  • Simply  EMAIL ME (Beth@StampingMom.com) to reserve your spot in a share. I will then ask you to send me the money via PayPal, or you may send a check.
  • Once I receive the products, I will cut, count, measure and package up your goodies pronto!
  • Your papers will be lovingly wrapped and identified to protect them; ribbons will be rolled; and embellishments will be placed into small plastic bags.  Your shares will be sent out via the US Postal Service.
  • Please note my paper shares are 6″ x 12″ for most designs.  A lot of people do 6″ x 6″, so you are getting twice as much paper with my shares.
  • You can choose a Paper Share or an I Want It All Share.

Abby colored the snowman with Stampin’ Blends.  I used the new Dot to Dot Embossing Folder on the flap.

The oval punch is optional.  What you really need is a slit cut big enough to hold your gift card which is typically 3-1/2″.

So I mentioned last week that I had a Surprise activity planned for Forced Family Fun during our Christmas break.  I got some emails asking, “What exactly is Forced Family Fun?”.  Well, typically when kids become teenagers they want to hang out with their friends or sit in their room alone on their electronics.  Years ago, Steve and I came up with Forced Family Fun to alleviate this problem.  We would intentionally plan activities with required participation.  Sometimes we play cards or board games, have a special dinner, go for a hike or mini golfing, etc.  Tonight we went to church, dinner and then our Surprise Forced Family Fun was to go to an Escape Room.  We had one hour to do puzzles and clues and figure out how to escape from a locked room.  It takes a lot of team work and cooperation.  We did the Informant Escape Room in West Des Moines.  It was a blast!  We escaped in 53 minutes!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
