I love the Foil-Edged Cards & Envelopes and am so happy they will be available until at least June 3, 2019.  Emboss Powder, Shimmery Paper and Mini Sequin Trim make a Sparkly and Shiny card.  I wish I could show it to you in real life. 🙂  We used to always have a New Year’s Eve Party at our house, but stopped doing it the last few years.  Now that I have a card created that I could use as a invitation, we might need to start up the tradition again. 🙂

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s hoppers. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.

Marcelyn Monday

Yep, it’s been awhile since we’ve had a Marcelyn Monday.  Don’t worry Marcelyn is crafting as much as always.  I just haven’t been around to get the photos and post them.

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 hosted two Stamping Christmas parties last week.  One for our Stampin’ Up demos in Central Iowa group and one for my Stamping Joy Team.  The day before the first party I was busy setting the table and decided we needed two more items for the centerpiece display.  I saw the card below on my shelf and made a quick call to Marcelyn.  “Hi Marcelyn, how are you doing? Good. Any chance you want to make your navy Bethlehem card without the side flaps and add the vellum, city scene and star so you can see it from both sides?  She was happy to do it, knew exactly what I wanted and showed up the next day with two of the centerpieces you see above. The “snow” was her idea and a nice touch. 🙂 They are sitting on a mirror so that’s why you see double in the picture.  They are gorgeous and Marcelyn was once again my hero!

In the picture below you can see the table set and ready for the Christmas party.  The two Sprig punch trees were made by Marcelyn.  I gave Marcelyn the paper and asked her to make these two trees way back in September.  (In case you might have thought everything is done at the last minute at break neck speed.) 🙂 Marcelyn also made the fudge boxes.  (Yes, again a September request) You can pull the fudge out on the ribbon side and a “Merry Christmas” pops out on the other side.  The fudge was made by my husband, Steve.  Thenks to you Marcelyn, it was a lovely party!

The china is from International China Company “A Christmas Story” by Susan Winget.  Steve’s parents gave me these dishes, glasses, serving pieces etc. over 10 or 15 years of Christmas presents.  I love using them and hope one of my kids will want them some day.  Will people even have a dining room table or eat on china dishes in another twenty years?!

If you have any questions about the centerpieces, fudge boxes or Sprig Punch trees, please contact Marcelyn directly at marcelynchurchill@msn.com

The Central Iowa demos did a gift exchange at our party.  Below are projects made by the demos.  If you have questions about these, please leave a comment and I’ll put you in touch with the demo who made it.

2019 Calendar Card

Festive Friday Challenge

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0021 is Celebrate 3-D Day  (Dec 3) and/or One Layer Card. You can earn points to choose free items from our Festive Friday Store! #festivefridaychallenge

 

Stampin Up 2019 calendar made with the Beautiful You stamp set designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u #simplestamping #OnStage2018

One of the great things about this calendar is you can mail it like a regular card and then the “stand” pops out for use. I love this saying, “Live with passion, Laugh out loud, Love deeply”  I did all these things last week in Orlando at the Stampin’ Up Convention.  I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. 🙂

Did you notice the new Gingham paper? Yep, it’s in the new Occasion catalog starting in January. 🙂

Stamps:  Beautiful You (143637)

Paper:  Highland Heather Cardstock (146986), Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock (144245), Basic Black Cardstock (121045), Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ DSP (148554)

Ink: VersaMark Pad (1102283)

Accessories:  Stampin’ Trimmer (126889), Bone Folder (102300), Black Stampin Emboss Powder (146956), Heat Tool (129053), Pretty Label Punch (143715), Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Ruffled Ribbon (146947), Peel off calendars

Techniques: Clean and Simple (CAS)

So it’s very rare that I would travel so much.  Four weeks ago I was in Buffalo, Iowa helping at Steve’s parents, the next week we were in Seattle to visit Sean and Victoria, Canada, last week I was in Orlando, FL for the Stampin’ Up! convention.  I thought we should play, “Where’s Waldo? or Where’s Stamping Mom? and see if you can guess where I was this week based on the view out my window!

I’ll draw a winner from all the guesses and send you the 2019 Calendar card!

 

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
