Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!

Welcome!  I'm so glad that you have joined me for Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!  If you arrived here from Angela's blog, then you're in the right place.  If you arrived here on your own tonight, then I invite you to hop over to My Pink Stamper so you can begin at the beginning and see all of the wonderful projects in tonight's hop.

The theme for tonight's hop is a wonderful new set from My Pink Stamper called Moo-ey Doodles!  Once again we have a great kit from Shop Pumpkin Spice, and a great new My Pink Stamper stamp pad:  Texas Chocolate. 

You can do such fun crafty things with cows, and this stamp set is no exception. I have been having so much fun with all the new line art stamps that Robyn has released recently.  I love my Cricut, but sometimes you need to shake things up a little to get your creative juices flowing.  It has been nice having a reason to sit down and color with my markers.  Here's what I made:

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Moo-ey Doodles
Cricut Cartridge:  Plantin Schoolbook (ovals)
Embossing:  Cuttlebug Perfectly Paisley
Border Punch:  Martha Stewart
Paper:  Doodlebug Design Inc, AC Cardstock, Stampin Up
Accessories:  Baker's twine, Doodlebug Design Inc brad, Copic Markers

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope tonight's projects will moo-tivate you to do some creating of your own!  The next stop on the hop is Courtney at Court's Crafts.  Happy hopping!

My Pink Stamper Design Team - June

Welcome!  Today is the day that me and my fellow designers at My Pink Stamper showcase our projects, and the theme for this month is the new stamp set Yankee-Doodles!  In case you missed it, this set was just released last Friday.

I have been having so much fun with this set!  I just love these images, and I love this time of year.  I decided to start my celebrations early by trying a new Cricut cartridge.  I've had the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge for a few months now, but I haven't been able to use it because it took me FOREVER to find one of the scoring tips locally.  Not to mention, there was an update for the Gypsy, and an update for my Expression...

If you purchase this cartridge, my best advice to you is this - turn off the Material Saver function.  Remember this one detail, and learning this new cartridge will be a much happier experience for you!  Other than that, be prepared to use up some plain white cardstock (or whatever other color you have in abundance) while you play around with the cutting and scoring features.  After trial and error, here is my project:

This is the "cracker" box that is found on the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge.  I know that I'll be using this one at Christmastime, but why not now?  I thought the firecracker stamp was the perfect image to accompany a great little gift for a friend or neighbor, or maybe a party favor at an Independence Day celebration.  I cut this box using the "Fit to Page" function on the Cricut, which on my Expression happened to be 8.8 inches.  Now it's all ready to fill with salt water taffy, or maybe a couple of packages of snaps and some glow sticks.

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Yankee Doodles
Cricut Cartridges:  Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2, Plantin Schoolbook (ovals)
Paper:  AC Cardstock, DCWV (gingham)
Embellishments:  Copic markers, baker's twine (Doodlebug Design), Stickles

Thanks for stopping by!  If you haven't already, be sure to head over to My Pink Stamper so you can see all the wonderful projects made by my fellow designers.

My Pink Stamper Design Team Post - May

Welcome!  Thanks for joining me today for the My Pink Stamper Design Team Post for May.  Me and my fellow designers are having a blast playing with Robyn's new line of image stamps, and today we are featuring Girlie Doodles, and Girlie Sayings:

And here's what I made:

So who knew, but the Paper Dolls cartridges work perfectly with the Girlie Doodles stamp set.  I cut this little girl at 4.5 inches, which was the perfect size to coordinate with the hat and the bag in the stamp set.  Imagine making a bunch of paper dolls, and then stamping a hats and purses that a little girl could color herself.  I think that would make a great gift!

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Girlie Doodles, Girlie Sayings
Ink:  My Pink Stamper Darkest Night Black Hybrid Ink
Cricut Cartridge:  Paper Doll Dress-Up
Border Punch:  Martha Stewart
Paper:  Stampin Up, AC Cardstock
Accessories:  Recollections (pearls), Copic markers, Offray (ribbon)

My Pink Stamper NSD Designer’s Choice Blop Hop **GIVEAWAY**

**Giveaway Closed**

Happy National Scrapbook Day!  I'm so glad that you have decided to celebrate the My Pink Stamper way and have joined us for our Designer's Choice Hop.  If you arrived here from Edna's blog (Create with Expression) then you're in the right place.  If you arrived here on your own, I invite you to hop over to My Pink Stamper so you can start at the beginning and see all the wonderful designers' projects.

Isn't it amazing that we have a day just to celebrate preserving memories?  Scrapbooking really is the perfect combination of creativity and history, and I don't do enough of it.  The stamp set that I have chosen to showcase today is That's Punnylicious:

I LOVE all of Robyn's Punnylicious line.  They're so fun!  The occasion that I chose to scrapbook for today isn't exactly a wonderful memory, but an endearing one, and something that should be documented nonetheless.  My son broke his arm last weekend on the play set in our backyard, poor kid!  Later while we were sitting snuggling he told me that he was trying to be Indiana Jones.  He had flicked his whip up over the top of the play set, thinking that it would wind around something so he could pull himself up.  It didn't quite work that way, poor little guy.  I couldn't help but smile when he told me.  I don't love that he got hurt, but I do love his very vivid imagination.  He's such a character and I wouldn't have him any other way.

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper That's Punnylicious
Cuts:  Cricut Create a Critter (monkey, vine, bananas), Plantin Schoolbook (scallop border, grass), Silhouette Playground
Paper:  Making Memories (stripes), AC Cardstock, Stampin Up
Embellishments:  assorted buttons, linen thread

**GIVEAWAY**- Leave a comment for a chance to win your very own That's Punnylicious stamp set!  Thank you My Pink Stamper for your very generous donation.  Don't forget to include your email address so I have a way to contact you.  I will choose a winner on Wednesday, May 9th.

Thanks for stopping by.  The next stop on the hop is Chelle's blog (Paper Krate).  I have also included the entire hop order below.  Have fun hopping, and have even more fun celebrating National Scrapbook Day.  I hope your day is a creative one!

My Pink Stamper Design Team - April

Welcome!  I'm so glad that you have joined me today for the My Pink Stamper Design Team project for the month of April.  The theme for this month is Teacher Gifts.  It's that time of the year - the school year is starting to wind down, the kids have spring fever, and both teachers and kids are dreaming of summer vacation.  Do you have a special teacher in your life?  Maybe you are a teacher!  If you are, my hat is off to you.  My children have all had wonderful teachers this year, and I'm grateful for all of their hard work.  So of course, the very least I can do is make a little something special to say thank you.

The My Pink Stamper stamp set that I am featuring is School Days:

I continue to experiment with my Silhouette SD.  Last week's find was this beautiful tulip.  I love tulips!  They're my favorite flower. 

I used a baby food jar for the vase.  Inside is a foam ball, the type you get from the floral department for arrangements.  Each of the blossoms is glued to a dowel that was painted green.  I used the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge for some of the grass - the long pieces were cut free-hand.  And these flowers won't wither and die!

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper School Days
Silhouette cut: 3D Tulip
Cricut Cartridge:  Plantin Schoolbook
Paper:  Pebbles Inc (Ever After line), AC Cardstock, Stampin' Up!
Border Punch:  Martha Stewart
Accessories:  American Crafts (ribbon), wood dowel, floral foam ball, baby food jar

Thanks for stopping by today!  If you haven't already, be sure to swing over to My Pink Stamper so you can see all the wonderful projects my fellow designers have made.  Have a great day!

Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!

Welcome!  Thank you so much for joining me for Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!  If you have arrived here from Alex'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 of the wonderful projects my fellow designers have made this tonight's hop.

The theme for tonight is Mother's Day - the perfect occasion to make a card.  Especially since I'm not able to spend Mother's Day with my mother { sniff }.  She's just too far away!  And honestly, I'm not always as good about getting the card in the mail as I should be...

The My Pink Stamper set that I used for tonight is Happiest Moments:

Don't you just love the lacy doily in the background?  No, that was not purchased or pre-made.  That was made with my Silhouette SD.  I am so impressed with the quality of the cuts with this machine.  The frame is gorgeous, but it will take you about 3 days to punch out all the little bits - so be warned!  ;-)

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments
Silhouette Cut:  Lacy Frame
Cricut Cartridges:  Flower Shoppe (flowers & leaves), Winter Frolic (tag), Wild Card (flourish)
Paper:  Stampin' Up!, AC Cardstock
Embellishments:  Hobby Lobby (ribbon & lace), Recollections (pearls), Stickles

Thank you so much for stopping by tonight!  The next stop on the hop is Angela at Simple Creations.  I have also included the entire blog hop order below.  And when you're done hopping, be sure to head back over to My Pink Stamper and join in the challenge!

My Pink Stamper Happy Birthday Hop!

I'm so glad that you have decided to join me tonight to celebrate birthdays - specifically Robyn's oldest daughter's birthday!  If you arrived here tonight on your own, feel free to hop over to My Pink Stamper so you can see all the wonderful projects in tonight's hop.  You will also be able to participate in My Pink Stamper LIVE starting at 10:00 pm central time.  Karlee is in town, and you know what those two are like when they get together.  If you don't know, then you've got to see it - they're so much fun!

For tonight's project I made a birthday card because you can never have too many of those.  I am featuring the My Pink Stamper set called Sweetest Cupcakes in honor of Robyn's daughter because I've heard she likes all things cupcake. (a girl after my own heart!)

I am also featuring my first project with a cut that I made using my Silhouette SD.  That cute little paper bow in the top left hand corner was made using their 3d ribbon bow by Alaa' K.  I LOVE IT!

I used the Cricut cartridge Once Upon a Princess.  The frame was made using my Gypsy.  I merged a tag from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge with a rectangle from George and Basic Shapes, and voila - instant frame!

Silhouette cut:  3d ribbon bow by Alaa' K
Cricut Cartridges:  Once Upon a Princess, George & Basic Shapes, Gypsy
Embossing:  Sizzix

My Pink Stamper Design Team - March

I am so excited to have you join me today for the My Pink Stamper Design Team post.  The theme for this month is Spring is in the Air!  And I am so happy that it actually IS starting to feel like spring.  I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing the blossoms on my fruit trees and the tulips starting to pop out of the ground.  I also love the colors that we were asked to use in this month's assignment - yellow, blue and green.  The stamp set that I am featuring in this month's assignment is Happiest Moments:

Don't you just love daisies?  These accordion flower wreaths are all the rage on Pinterest right now, and I think daisies were the perfect touch.  I used a foam wreath form that I purchased at Joann, and hot glued the accordion flowers and daisies to the wreath.  I was so happy with how this turned out  I put it on my front door - but had to rescue it this morning just as the rain started coming through the screen!  April showers...wait a minute, it's still March!

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments

Cricut Cartridges:  Sweet Treats (daisy), Florals Embellished (butterfly)

Paper:  Provo Craft, DCWV (glitter paper), AC Cardstock

Embellishments:  The Paper Studio (pearls), Hobby Lobby (ribbon)

Tools:  Martha Stewart Scoring Board

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you haven't already, I suggest you head over to My Pink Stamper so you can see all the wonderful Design Team projects.  And of coarse, you can also find out where to purchase My Pink Stamper stamps!

UPDATE :  I've received a few questions regarding how I made my wreath.  I made the accordion flowers in three sizes by cutting strips that were 1 1/2" x 12", 1 1/4" x 12", and 1" x 12".

And this is the type of form that I used as the base.  It's a foam wreath that has squared off edges. The one I used was 10 inches in diameter.

Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!

Hello all!  I'm so glad that you have joined me for Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!  If you have arrived here from Angela's blog, then you're in the right place.  If you arrived here on your own tonight, I invite you to hop over to My Pink Stamper so you can start at the beginning and see all the wonderful projects in tonight's hop.

The theme for this month's project is St. Patrick's Day!  All ye fellow Irishmen, show your green!  My maiden name originates in County Cork in Ireland.  So I have to go back about 5-6 generations, but there's Irish in me!  And what a great way, and a great time to celebrate the color green.  We've been starting to see and feel the first signs of spring here.  I decided to celebrate by buying two pear trees and some potting soil!  So hopefully there will be lots of green in my future, and not brown...  ;-)

For my project today I chose to use the My Pink Stamper set called Happiest Moments:

And here is what I made:

I thought for this month's project I would make a little treatie for my kids.  They don't know yet though, so ssshhhhhh!  ;-)  I got some chocolate coins, some candy sticks from our local candy factory, some cute cuts from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge, and the perfect stamp to top it all off!  And don't you just love cellophane?  I think just about anything looks beautiful when it's wrapped in cellophane.  ;-)

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments
Cricut Cartridge:  Simply Charmed - I used the leprechaun and the pot of gold
Paper:  AC Cardstock, Roberts Crafts
Ribbon:  Joann
Embellishment:  Stickles

Thanks for stopping by!  You next stop on the hop is Alex at You Had Me At Craft.  Don't forget to stop by My Pink Stamper when you're through and join us in this month's theme.  I have also included the entire blog hop order below.  Happy Hopping!
