My Pink Stamper Design Team - November!

Welcome!  Are you all eagerly preparing to feed your friends and family on Thanksgiving?  Are you cleaning your home so you'll be ready for company?  Are you absolutely flabbergasted that time has flown by so quickly and that it's that time of year again?  ;-)  Well in the midst of all the chaos don't forget to take a moment for yourself and spend some quality time with your papercrafting supplies - especially your My Pink Stamper stamps and your Cricut!

This month my fellow designers and I were given the challenge to create a card using a non-traditional fold.  I was really excited about this because trying something new really gets my creative juices flowing - just the inspiration I need.  I decided to try the tri-shutter fold.  This is what it looks like flat:

And this is what it looks like open:

Isn't that just so cool?  You can see an excellent tutorial on how to make this type of card here.  And isn't that the most perfect stamp?  This set is called Lunchbox Thoughts and is part of the most recent My Pink Stamper release.  I hope that this has inspired you to go and try something new!

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Lunchbox Thoughts
Cartridges:  Sweet Treats, Once Upon a Princess
Paper:  AC Cardstock, American Crafts, Stampin Up

Guess who?

Robyn, aka My Pink Stamper, was here in Utah this weekend helping her sister with a craft fair fundraiser and selling her wonderful stamps.  It was so fun to finally meet her and Karlee!  And yes ladies, they are as sweet and wonderful and fun in person as they seem online.  ;-)  Isn't it just fitting that my girls and I wore pink for the occasion?

My favorite warehouse sale!

For those of you in Utah, this is my favorite warehouse sale - American Crafts.  They have great cardstock, ribbon, and embellishments at really good prices.

Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!

And sheeeeee's back - and just in time for Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!  I'm coming to you live (OK, not really) from my very own home that we moved in to two weeks ago.  I'm happy to report that I have unpacked and set up my craft room, and I'm so excited to be able to participate in this month's blog hop!  If you arrived here from Edna's blog then you're in the right place.  If you arrived here on your own tonight, I invite you to head over to My Pink Stamper so you can begin at the beginning and see all the wonderful designers' projects.

The theme for this month's blog hop is scrapbooking, and we are all featuring the wonderful My Pink Stamper stamps that Robyn released in October.  The set that I have chosen to feature is Flowers and Friendship:

I'm so happy because I finally had the opportunity to use my newest Cricut Cartridge: Flower Shoppe!  This is a cartridge that I have been wanting for a long time.  I love the 3-D flowers that you can create.  When I was pondering what I was going to make, my mind kept going to flowers, lace, and quilts.  Here is what I made:

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper Flowers and Friendship
Cricut Cartridge:  Flower Shoppe
Paper:  DCWV (Blossom Song Stack), AC Cardstock
Paper Punch:  Martha Stewart, EK Success Doily Petals Dimensional Flower Punch
Embellishments:  American Crafts (ribbon), Doodlebug Design (button), Recollections (pearl)

Thank you so much for stopping by tonight!  Now it's time to hop along to Chelle's blog Paper Krate.  And don't forget to go back to My Pink Stamper after you're through hopping to join us for a challenge!  I've also included the entire blog hop order for you below.  Have fun!

More My Pink Stamper New Release!

I'm taking a minute to sit down and blog one more time before moving day.  Ack - I really hate packing.

Have you been enjoying this new release from My Pink Stamper?  One of the things that I am SO looking forward to about moving is my new craft space.  It's going to be so wonderful to have my own little space again - just in time to start producing for Christmas!

The set that I am featuring today is Lunchbox Thoughts:

Aren't they so fun?  I just love all the fun, tender, thoughtful sentiments that she has in this set.  Here are a couple of little "love notes" that I have made to stash in my daughters' lunches.

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Lunchbox Thoughts
Cricut Cartridge:  Preserves - I used the Gypsy to enlarge the leaf in the lighter green
Paper:  AC Cardstock, Stampin Up
Embellishments:  Offray ribbon

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Lunchbox Thoughts
Cricut Cartridge:  Simply Charmed - I used the hide contour feature on the Gypsy to remove the face
Paper:  AC Cardstock, Stampin Up
Embellishments:  Diamond Glaze

It may be a week or so before I post again with the move, but I promise I'll be back!  See you soon.

My Pink Stamper Design Team - October

Welcome!  I am so excited you have joined me today for the My Pink Stamper Design Team post for the month of October.  If you arrived here on your own today, I invite you to stop by My Pink Stamper so you can see all the wonderful design team submissions.

It's that time of year again!  Here it means that the whether has turned a little cold, the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, and my mind inevitably starts to think of Christmas.  Isn't it wonderful that in the crafting world we have that extra reason to start celebrating early - we need time to prepare after all!  I wish I could say that all of my Christmas cards are done, all of the cards I will be giving as gifts are done, and I'm ready to sit back and have a relaxing holiday season.  Maybe some day!  Some day when I'm not moving in a week...

The stamp set that I am featuring today is Winter Treats & Sayings:

I LOVE this set!  I love Christmas, and I especially love to bake at Christmastime.  I love to give treats for Christmas, and it's just so much more fun when there's a cute stamp to tie things all together.  This set is so versatile - perfect for tags, cards, you name it!  If you would like to find out where you can purchase this and other wonderful My Pink Stamper sets, click here.
