Pierced Blooms Watercolor

Stampin Up In Bloom Bundle watercolor card designed by demo Beth McCullough  Shop 24/7 and see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com/pierced-blooms-watercolor #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

This card is so very pretty in real life. The flowers, stems, leaf, heart and background are all done on watercolor paper. You should really consider buying the Pierced Blooms dies. Here’s a free pdf with the supplies and directions to make this card.

Our son, Ryan, was over for dinner last night. I beat Ryan and Steve at Cribbage twice, but then Ryan challenged us to a Chess match. Steve and I joined forces, which extended the time it took for Ryan to beat us. What a fun night. I love our young adult kids!

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0078 is International Women’s Day which is on March 8.

International Women’s Day is a United Nations–sanctioned global holiday that aims to celebrate women’s contributions to society and raise awareness to the areas of society that need to improve to reach gender equality.

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!

Gingham Gala Calendars

I love making these cute and simple calendars.  They are a standard A2 card size with an added base for stability.  You can mail them like a regular card.

 

I first showed these calendars on my blog on November 16 and asked you to leave a comment guessing where I was.  Here’s the link to that post

I drew a name from the comments and Sue won.  Congrats! Sue, please email me and send me your address and I’ll send you a calendar.  I was indeed in Tuscon, Arizona. Steve had a conference and I went along.  While I was there, I got to stamp with Mary Fish of Stampin’ Pretty in her stamping studio.  It was quite a treat!

Please like and share my video.  I’ll draw a name from everyone who shares my video and send them a calendar.

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.

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 🙂
