My Pink Stamper April Post Day

Hello everyone!!  It's a My Pink Stamper post day--so much fun!  Today, we are making Teacher gifts for the end of the school year.

My daughter is in Chorus and Orchestra in middle school.  So I decided to make a project for a music teacher today.  They seem to get forgotten sometimes.


Here are the details:

  • My Pink Stamper Music Speaks stamps
  • Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Door Hanger cut at 11 inches
  • Music note cut from Quarter Note at 2 1/2 inches
  • American Crafts Dear Lizzy paper
  • Twisted Lime Trendy Twine
  • green ink
  • pop dots
I cut the notes that are in the holder at 3 x 5 inches.  Then I inked the edges and stamped the two different sayings on the cards. I also inked the flourish on the music note.  And the one card is pulled up so you can see the other sentiment used.  My daughter loved it and now wants to keep it for herself :) 

Make sure to go back to My Pink Stamper to see all the design teams fun projects.  Then, I hope you take some time to make your own teacher gift--the end of school is fast approaching!!

Have a fabulous day!

Winner!

Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven't been posting and there's no project today.  We had a yard sale last Saturday that just wiped me out!  So I really did not get to create last weekend.  I have been working on projects a few nights this week, but I can't show them yet :)  There's lots of fun things coming up soon!!  

I have to help with the youth groups rummage sale on Saturday and they want us there by 6:45am!!  Ugg!  Then I get to go have fun with my Cricut Crafting group the rest of the day and on Sunday.  I hope to make lots of projects, but I think I will be tired too! 

Well, on to the winner of the Epiphany Punch and Epoxy Stickers!!  Random.org picked #25 :

I love this! I may do this for my mother in law she would love this! Thank you =)

Jennifer

I will send you an email to get your information!  Thanks everyone for always leaving such nice comments--I wish I could send everyone something :)

Today I made a cute little gift bag and a 3x3 card to go with it.  I am planning on putting a gift card in there and maybe some candy treats.  I filled it with some pink and white shreds for now.




Here are the details:
Ever since I got the Epiphany Pennant as a gift for Easter, I have been wanting to use the My Pink Stamper Fontabulous to spell out a word in a banner.  And this was the perfect project to show it off!

Be sure to hop on over to Michelle's blog next to see what amazing project she came up with today!  When you are done hoping, head back to My Pink Stamper so you can play along too.  And now is the time to purchase your My Pink Stamper stamps for your Mother's Day projects or even gifts :)  Be sure to check out her product page for places to buy.

Now you have a chance to win the same punch and a packet of pennant epoxy stickers for yourself!!  Just leave one comment on this post with a way to reach you.  This will close on Wednesday night and I will post the winner on Thursday!

Have a great weekend!!

Make Lemonade

Hi everyone!  This card was made using Little Yellow Bicycle's Sweet Summertime collection.  I guess you can tell that this was the team I was planning on trying out for :)  I just wasn't that impressed with what I was making and still would have had to make a scrapbook page too.  But I just couldn't think of a page to make and didn't push myself too hard either.


I used their Fresh Verse and Dimensional Pop-Up stickers along with their pattened paper.  I really do love their products and have plenty more to play with :)

Have a fabulous day!!

Be True

Hello!

Here's a card that I made just with Little Yellow Bicycle's Paper Flower Kit and Cardstock stickers from the Paradise collection.  Not much to say about it -- just super easy and quick to put together :)



The patterned paper and cute pin also came from the same collection.  I just added the brown ribbon. 

Have a great day!!

Birthday Flower

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful Easter!!  I had family over but that meant that I had to clean off all my crafting things from the dining room table where I have been working.  I decided to move a desk into my front room to keep most of my things on so that if we need the table I (hopefully) won't keep it full all the time.  Now it's a bit of a mess, since I haven't finished moving things from upstairs though.  I have to get it organized though since we have a My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday night!! 

Over the next few days, I have some projects that I had made when I thought about trying out for a few design teams, but I just wasn't feeling the projects :)  This one I put together for last week for Robyn's Birthday Blog Hop, but then made the cupcake card you saw instead!


Supplies:
  • My Pink Stamper Birthday Crazy set
  • Flower from Little Yellow Bicycle Paradise Paper Flower Kit
  • Cuttlebug Polka Dot Folder
  • Pink Ribbon
  • Pop Dots
These paper flowers are fun and easy.  There are also rosettes in the kit that you just have to fold and glue.  I have a card with one on it from this kit to show you this week :)

Have a great day!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  Here's a quick post today with some Easter goodies I made.  They are home made Peanut Butter and Coconut candies.  It's a family tradition to make these.  The recipes come from my grandmother and making them remind me of her and all the fun weekends I used to spend with her.





I made the bunny tags to put on the bags that I passed out to co-workers on Friday.  The tags are from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments.  I was making the tags at 9:30pm on Thursday night so there is no extra embellishments on them.  If I had the time, the ears would have been Stickled Pink :)

Have a blessed day!

My Pink Stamper Birthday Blog Hop

Hi everyone!  It's a Birthday Blog Hop in honor of Robyn's, daughter's birthday today!!  So glad you could join us.  If you just came from Angela's blog, you are on the right track.  If not, be sure to start at My Pink Stamper to get all the information and to not miss a thing :)

The theme tonight is anything birthday!!  Such fun!  I love to make birthday projects and I decided to make a quick birthday card.


The details:
  • My Pink Stamper Birthday Crazy stamp
  • Cupcake cut at 4 inches from Sweet Treats
  • Happy Birthday Cuttlebug Folder
  • Pink glitter paper
  • White ink
  • Signo White Pen
  • Twine from The Twinery
  • pop dots
I stamped the Make a Wish with a white pigment ink pad. But I don't use those the best :) So I was able to fill it in with the Signo pen!  I also used the pen for some faux stitching on the cupcake. 

The next stop on the hop is Chelle.  Then make sure to go back to Robyn's Blog to join in the fun and wish her daughter a Happy Birthday!  And My Pink Stamper Live with Robyn and Karlee is at 10pm CST tonight!!

Hello!

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a fabulous weekend.  It's super nice here and I am trying to finish making some Easter Candy and maybe some treat containers or tags for it.  But, I my laptop totally crashed and I have to share the one remaining computer in the house.  It's been a bit of a pain.  I really hope my laptop can be restored and am taking it somewhere tomorrow.

So I hope to be making some projects in the next couple of days and hopefully have my computer back so I can post pictures too :)
