My Texas kids are here for 10 days and we have been having the best time going to the Iowa State Fair, playing Euchre and other games, mini golfing, eating, laughing, and more. We had a great time having a fire pit until many of us woke up the next day covered in no-see-um bites. I may never go outside after dusk again. If you’ve never had these you may not realize how painful they can be.

There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be All Creatures Great and Small.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Best Butterflies

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is â€śCASE the Catalog” so the Design Team chose a card from the new Annual Catalog and has CASEd it with their own creative twist. We really hope that you are inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Stampin’ Up Catalog is a wonderful “Idea Book.” If you’re stumped for what to make, just look through the catalog for some inspiration. I found this picture back in the “Bundles” section on page 161 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. The card is cute, but I wanted to make it over again in #bright&happy colors. Every card I make brings me joy, but creating bright & happy cards makes my heart sing!

Steve and I enjoyed our 18 day campervan adventure through Canada and Alaska. This trip is in lieu of the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip that was cancelled. There is a huge difference between spending a week on a cruise ship and spending three weeks in a tiny campervan exploring the wilderness. If you would like to follow our adventures, we posted short videos everyday on our new YouTube Channel- Best Last Half.

National Best Friends Day

I used the Hues of Happiness Suite to make this quick and easy fun fold card. The Hues of Happiness DSP, Fresh Freesia layer and white sentiment layer inside the card were all cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. The yellow flower and leaf were cut from the DSP using the coordinating dies. See all the supplies I used at the bottom of this post.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0128 is World Music Therapy Day which is March 2nd.

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 stripes, twine, and embossing.

  • Run a scrap of Sahara Sand CS through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die. Adhere to card front being careful not to put glue in the upper right hand corner so you don’t glue your card shut. 🙂
