My Pink Design Team - April! **Giveaway**

It's always a party at My Pink Stamper - isn't Robyn just so fun?  Well the celebration continues as today, me and my fellow designers feature party favors!  With my little guy I just know that I have a Toy Story themed party in my future, so I thought it would be fun to use the Toy Story cartridge to create my party favor.  And wouldn't you know, Robyn has the perfect set of stamps to go along with it!  Today I am featuring My Pink Stamper's Boy Crazy:

This is such a fabulous set!  And it's great for boys of all ages too.  I know I'll be using this one a ton.  If you would like to see where you can purchase some of these for yourself you can click here.

These party favors are just so easy to make too.  I used my Gypsy to make this box from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More because the Gypsy would let me make the box a little bigger than I could with the Expression alone - at 7 inches.  Then I used the Toy Story cartridge to cut the sheriff badge in the background.  Once again enter Gypsy so I could just cut the basic star shape without the cuts on the interior of the star.  And then of coarse, Woody!  Put it all together, add some cute paper shred and some candy and there you have it!  What little boy wouldn't love this?  What little boy wouldn't tear this to pieces in 3 seconds?  I try not to think about that part...  ;-)
**Update**  For those who have asked about the difficulty of this project - There isn't anything terribly difficult about this technique-wise.  The boxes are easy to assemble and decorate.  The time consuming part is the Woody cut, as anyone who has the Toy Story cartridge can tell you.  This isn't like Create a Critter where the layering is really easy.  With Toy Story there are a lot of little parts to piece together.  This is why I went with this particular cut - Woody's head doesn't have quite as many little details to add.  But in the end, it doesn't really matter how long it takes if you're enjoying doing it!
