Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #30

Hi everyone!  Here's a card for this weeks Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.  This week is all about baking. Make sure to stop by and check them out!  I decided to make a shape card with the Sweet Treats cartridge. I wanted to make cupcake wrappers, but didn't have any cupcakes to put in them :-)

Here are the details:
  • Base card cut from Sweet Treats at 6 inches
  • Layers from Sweet Treats cut at 5.75 inches
  • My Pink Stamper Everyday Life stamp
  • Bazzill paper
  • iRock
  • Yellow and Light Blue Stickles on flame and candle stripes
  • White pen
The top cut didn't fit on the card base like I thought it would, but I think it looks close enough.  The card actually looks better now than when I first finished it--it grew on me!

Make sure to check back tomorrow.  I have my weekly Serenade post and I'll be giving away a Pink ATG gun!!!

Card Swap Cards

Hi everyone!  I was going to make a card for a challenge last night, but had something come up with my son.  It sure is hard to be 13 these days! I have such a nice son and sometimes, other kids can just be mean.  I think everything is fine now, I guess I'll know for sure when I talk with him after work.


Anyway, I received my card swap cards from Flowerdisco's swap.  I just had time to take one picture of the whole bunch so here you go!  The Thanks on the left is from Flowerdisco herself!  I just love those jumbled cuts from Graphically Speaking.  I don't have everyone's names, sorry!  It's just been one of those weeks that I'm glad is almost over.

My Pink Stamper Fun and Spooky Challenge

Hi everyone!  Today, My Pink Stamper is having a Fun and Spooky Challenge.  Make sure to visit her blog to check out the challenge and the rest of the Design Team's projects :-)


I made a card and decorated a candle.  It's been really fun to make some home decor items lately.  I won't be able to burn this candle, but I usually don't anyway.

Here are the details for the card:
  • Ghost from Paper Doll Dress Up cut at 3 3/4 inches
  • My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns stamp
  • Recollections Halloween stack
  • Martha Stewart web punch
  • orange ribbon
  • iRock gems (on the ribbon)
  • black pen for stitching
I punched the card base and a separate black strip to make the layers.  Also, I put a black strip on the inside of the card behind the web.

And here are the details for the candle:
  • 3 ghosts from Paper Doll Dress Up cut at 2 3/4 inches
  • I just had the candle on my shelf
  • My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns stamp
  • Recollections paper that matches the card
  • Orange ribbon
  • i Rock gems
  • black pen for stitching
I wrapped the paper around the candle and just used my ATG to hold.  I also used the ATG on the ribbon as well.  Then, very carefully, I adhered the gems with the iRock.  You do need to be careful, if you hold it too long the candle will melt.  Then I just put adhesive down the middle of the ghosts and placed them around the candle. I stamped the Boo in black ink and stamped in on paper, then the ghosts, so it wouldn't be too dark.

I hope you enjoyed--this was fun to make!!  Don't forget to visit My Pink Stamper.

Winner and a small box

Hi everyone!  I was hoping to have a project to show you, but I had to finish a DT project and my Serenade post for this week.  But, my daughter (she's 11) had a book project to do make some things for.  She asked for a small box.  Well, I have Tags, Bags, Boxes and More so I pulled that out, of course!

She wanted the square box and I punched in 5 inches.  She thought that was too big, but it is small! So I cut this out at 6 inches and it's still pretty small.  But it has to go in a brown lunch bag with some other things, so it's perfect   She just picked some plain blue cardstock and used some silver cording to go around it.  And I had a sheet of circles, so she just punched a hole in it and tied it on.  We also added to glam rocks with the iRock.


Well, now that I made you read all that, I'll announce the winner of the My Pink Stamper Spooky stamp set is Nicole!! 

Nicole said:  I love looking at your ideas, you are so creative. Thanks for the chance to win such a great stamp set!

I have your email Nicole, so look for a message from me!  I am planning another giveaway soon--I forgot that my 1 year blog anniversary was September 9th!  So I'm going to plan a great giveaway in the next week or so.

Check back Thursday for a My Pink Stamper post!!
