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!

Butterflies

Hello!  Just a quick post to show you my calling card from the Circle crop I went to over the weekend.  A calling card is 3x3 inches you trade with everyone attending.  You put your name and whatever information you want to share on the back.


The theme for the weekend was St. Patrick's Day and most everyone made their cards to fit the theme.  I did not :)  I wanted it to be more about me than the theme so I made mine pink, of course!

I used Art Philosophy for the base cut and used the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug on it.  The butterfly is from Paper Trimmings and cut at 2 1/2 inches.  I stickled it, of course!  And the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Buggy Punnies.  Finished it off with ribbon and pop dots for the butterfly.


Have a great week everyone!!  Don't forget that this Friday is a My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop :)

My Pink Stamper January Design Team Day

Hello again!


It's My Pink Stamper Design Team Day!!  Love these days :)  It's a day later than usual since yesterday was Robyn's birthday--I sure hope she had a fabulous day!!


For today's projects, the theme is Be My Valentine--make something, anything for Valentine's Day!  I love to make Valentine Projects and  I decided to go with some treat boxes.

Here are the details:

• My Pink Stamper From the Heart Set
• Art Philosophy Fry Box cut at 9 inches
• Sophisticated Cartridge cut at 2 inches for front of box
• Teresa Collins Posh Damask Paper
• Charcoal Twine from The Twinery
• Cotton Candy Close to My Heart Ink
• Pop Dots

I cut the boxes at 9 inches so I could fit 2 boxes on one piece of paper. They are probably going to my swap partners, so I hope they are not peeking :)

Make sure to go over to My Pink Stamper and see all the design teams wonderful projects and to play along!

Have a wonderful day!

My Pink Stamper 12 Days of Christmas

Hi everyone!  Today is day 8 on My Pink Stamper's 12 Days of Christmas.   And for her post today, is my 1st ever video!!  It was a super simple card for my 1st time, but it might inspire you if you need a quick card since there are only 4 days until Christmas.

Here is a photo of the finished card.  And make sure to head over to Robyn's blog to see the video and your chance to win some fun prizes!!

I used My Pink Stamper's Biggie Christmas Sentiments, Art Philosophy Cartridge, Maraschino Twine from The Twinery and the iRock.

Until next time!

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop

Hello everyone!!  I just love the 2nd Friday of the month--it's a Pink-alicious Blog Hop night!!  If you have just come from Edna's amazing blog Create with Expression, then you are in the right place.  If not, make sure to head over to My Pink Stamper so you can enjoy all the projects!

Today's challenge is to make a Treat or Goodie Bag with any holiday them and we had to use Yummy-licious or Sweet Goodness.  Mine is more of a box from Art Philosophy (of course!).

This next view shows the side.  It has a cut in the flaps you can't see so those sides just hook together.  Then you finish off the top with ribbon, or twine like I did.  These will go together so quickly and would make great treat boxes for school kids too!

• My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious set
• Art Philosophy box cut at 11 inches
• Very Merry Tags peppermint cut at 2 1/2 inches
• My Minds Eye Peppermint Patty 12 Days of Christmas paper
• Heat set gems with the iRock

This was so super easy to put together!  I think I'm going to get some more of this paper and make these for some co-worker's for Christmas and probably put some peppermints in them.

Your next stop is Agnes and her fabulous Flowerdisco's Scrap Hut blog.  When you make it to the end, m ake sure to go back to My Pink Stamper to see where you can buy all her fabulous stamps and to link up your own project that you make for this challenge!

Since you have made it to the end, I have a treat for one lucky comment!  Please leave one comment with a way for me to get in touch with you for a chance to win a My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns stamp set.   I will draw a winner on Tuesday and ship out as soon as I get the address so that you may have them in time for making Halloween goodies!       Giveaway is over.

Christmas Tree

Hi everyone!

I was going to post this yesterday, but my daughter had a chorus concert Tuesday night so the post did not get written :)

I've been working on Halloween and Fall cards and I am probably not done making those.  But today, I have a Christmas Card!  Not mine, haven't started those yet -- LOL!  This was for a card swap I am in.

Here are the details:

• Art Philosophy Cartridge tree cut at 3 1/2 inches
• Create a Critter light string cut at 1 1/4 inches
• My Pink Stamper 
• My Minds Eye 12 days of Christmas Season's Greetings paper
• American Crafts glitter ribbon
• Christmas red, Christmas (green w/red), and Gold Stickles
• pop dots

This card is the 3rd version.  I was going 2 different directions for it and even have 22 scallop label cuts that did not make it on this version ready for something else :)

Today is the last day of round 2 voting over at Practical Scrappers.  I'm working on the next round's card now so hope to see it on there site on Saturday :)  Here's the link and the instructions from them: http://www.practicalscrappers.com/2011/10/card-contest-finalists-round-two.html

Flower Birthday

Hi everyone!  I needed a card for a friend at work and was having trouble with what to do.  I decided I wanted to use some flowers from the Art Philosophy cartridge.

The card you see below is my second take--the 1st one turned out terrible!  I had stamped the Happy Birthday a little higher and thought there was too much empty space between that and the flowers--BIG mistake!!  I really hated it.  But I got up this morning and realized I had time to redo some of it.  Luckily, the flowers came off cleanly so I was able to re-cut the pretty label cut and reassemble.

 Here are the details:

• Art Philosophy Cartridge:
• 2 roses cut at 2 inches and 1 rose cut at 2 1/2 inches
• Label cut at 3 1/2 inches (I think)  and the outside dark layer cut a little bit bigger to not cover the pretty swirls
• My Pink Stamper Birthday Crazy stamp
• Doodlebug patterned paper
• Creative Charms Gradient Jewels
• Frosted Lace Stickles
• Zip Dry to assemble flowers and glue on--it sticks them on really well!

I am happy with how it turned out and hope she likes it!  But I don't have an envelope with me that it will fit in since the flowers are a bit thick :)  You can see in the flower close up that I twirled the flowers differently.  I used one side for the big one and the other side of the paper for the smaller ones.  They are so much fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to get a lot of things made on Saturday since it's World Card Making Day--hope you join in!!

Friend Forever

Hello everyone!  Here's a Fall card I made.  The Challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut this week is Leaves are Falling--use leaves on your project.  Well, I planned on using several but ended up with just one :)

Here are the details:

• Leaf from Art Philosopy cartridge cut at 4 inches
• My Pink Stamper Friend-tastic stamp
• Imaginisce pattern paper
• Creative Charms November Kit of the Month
• Fall Seasonal Sparkles (on leaf)
• Amber Gem Gradient Jewels (bottom of card)
• Brown Vintage Velvet Ric Rac
• Pop Dots

I just got my order from Creative Charms and they have some really fun stuff!  The Ric Rac I used on the card is so soft and pretty--I just love it :)  I ordered 2 kits from them and some really pretty pink butterflies.  They also included a free sample--fun stuff coming up!!

I have lots of projects that I need to complete (once I start) so you should see lots of posts from me.  And make sure to find some time to play along with Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut.  The design team has some fabulous inspiration for you!

My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop!!

Hi everyone and welcome to the monthly My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop!  I just love these :)   If you have just come from the very talented Tracy at Craft Junkie Too, you are on the right track.  But if you just came here 1st, be sure to start at the very beginning with My Pink Stamper.  You don't want to miss all the fun!

For today's hop, we were challenged to make a 3D item and use My Pink Stamper's new School Days set. You probably know that most of my projects are pretty easy and today is no different.  When I got the assignment, I knew right away what I wanted to do--the door hanger cut from the new Art Philosophy cartridge! 

This was so super simple to make and here are the (few) details:

• My Pink Stamper School Days set -- I heart school and star
• Art Philosophy cartridge door hanger cut at 11 1/2 inches
• Art Philosophy cartridge tag cut at 2 3/4 inches
• Imaginisce Favorite Subject double sided paper from Geek is Chic line
• Mandarin Twine from the Twinery
• pop dots

When I saw the Imaginisce Favorite Subject paper last weekend in Archivers, I knew it would be perfect for this project!  I also knew that I had to line it up to cut correctly so that when I folded the box, the ABC's would be the right way :)  This fits 4 dry erase markers very neatly.    

 
You've made it to the end!  So I have a prize to be won.  A set of My Pink Stamper stamps!!  Up for grabs is Spectacular Sayings--one I use all the time :)  Be sure to leave one comment with a way for me to contact you to be entered.  I will draw a winner on Tuesday. 

The next stop in the hop is the fabulous Kassidy!  Have fun :)

Congratulations with Art Philsophy

Hi everyone!  It's been a while since posting again.  I'm just trying to get back in the groove of work and the kids with homework and stuff. 

Today I have a card I made with the Art Philosophy cartridge collection.  I thought this was for a DT assignment, but I looked at the wrong one!  But, it's a cute little card I get to show you now :)

Here are the details:

• Art Philosophy Cartridge cuts
• card base--4 inches
• pattern paper layer--3 1/2 inches
• pink layer with outline layer--2 inches
• Congratulations stamp from Art Philsophy collection
• American Crafts ribbon
• Signo white pen
• Glam Pink Stickles

I used Bazzill dot paper (I think) for the outline pink part and put the stickles on the dots--just don't think you can see that very well in the picture.  Now the stamp sets that come with the cartridge give you a suggested sized for the cuts to match the stamp.  But this cut had the cute out layer and when I cut it at the suggested size (1 3/4 inches) the top layer covered up some of the outer words.  So I made it a bit bigger in order to use the outline.  I don't think all the cuts have an outline and I think I will still try to follow the suggested sizes.

This is a very fun cartridge and I really can't wait to do more with it!

Have a great day :)
