Casing Mary Fish- Varied Vases

Are you new to crafting? Do you wonder how people get their ideas? In papercrafting we often CASE (Copy and Share Everything)

I love the card above made by my upline, Mary Fish. This is actually made with the stamp set, Varied Vases, that she helped design as a reward for selling 1 million dollars in stamp supplies.

I have not sold 1 million dollars in craft supplies, but maybe someday… A girl can dream 🙂

I CASE’d Mary’s card and made my own version in my favorite colors. I love Bermuda Bay and other bright and happy colors.

I made a cute envelope to match.

Sometimes I take parts of several different cards and put them together. I also get ideas from nature, looking through catalogs for design ideas etc. I’d love to hear how you get ideas for your crafting. You can leave a comment at the top of this post.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

More Stampapooloza Cards

These four cards were designed by Jean. Some are totally Jean originals and some were made with an assist from Pinterest. Jean has been my very dear friend for the last 30 years. We are both Accountants and worked together at The Principal Financial Group. Jean is still there and is an officer at the company. She works very hard running the Commercial Real Estate Debt Accounting, Reporting and Operations teams. After working so hard, she likes to come to my house to use the other part of her brain and be creative. We usually spend a couple hours most weekends, both walking and stamping. If you regularly read my blog you know Allison. Well, Jean is Allison’s Mom. 🙂

Don’t you love these cards? Please leave a comment at the top of the post and tell Jean which one if your favorite.

After you see all these cards, you will probably want to join us at our next Stampapooloza on Saturday, February 23. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend.

Can you see the pearls on the tree? I love all her cards, but this one if my favorite. 🙂 Jean helps me design a lot of the cards you see on my blog.

Spirited Snowman

I’m hosting this week’s challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog. Do you have Enamel Dots in your stash? If so, it’s time to make a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page and add a few Enamel Dots to your design. Then head over to Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and add your picture. Never entered a challenge? Never fear, I’ll help you get it done. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com. I get it, I made cards for about 12 years before I ever entered a challenge. It’s pretty fun, and so exciting though when you win a challenge. Ask Ruth Sollberger and Marcelyn Churchill, I encouraged them to enter a challenge and they’ve both won some. 🙂

Are you wondering why I’m making Snowman cards in October? Well, it’s Oct 14 and it snowed in Iowa today! I took this picture while it was snowing, but you can’t see the snow. You can see four of my raised gardens. They are still going strong and not ready for winter. Before it freezes we usually put tarps over the gardens and the hoops hold them up.The small square garden in front is my herb garden. Another reason I try to prolong the growing season is, I like to use my own fresh Rosemary and Sage when I host Thanksgiving. It’s over a month away so they might not make it this year. 🙂

I had such a wonderful week! Our dear friends, Debbie and John Gorman, were here visiting from Alabama. It had been two years since we’d seen them. Debbie and I spent one day by ourselves, having all the fun we could think of! Love you both and see you soon!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
