My Pink Stamper LIVE Tonight and NEW Release

Today, Robyn of My Pink Stamper released some NEW Stamp Sets. Also, her sister is in town and having a My Pink Stamper LIVE tonight at 9 CST (that's about a 1/2 hour away from when I posted this).

So go to My Pink Stamper tonight to check out all the fun!

Here is a project I made using My Pink Stamper's NEW Handle with Care Stamp Set. This is my new favorite set. There are so many fun things you can make with it. I made two different versions of this card, using different stamps.

This folder was made from a rectangle. Cut 2 1/2" x 5 1/4". Score 3 sides in a 1/2". Then cut out the 2 squares in the corners. Then angle all the edges slightly so it will fold clean. Then I used score tape so I would attach to the card securely.

Stamp Fragile on tabbed paper.

On the back I stamped "Do Not Bend"

Cricut Cartridge: Art Philosophy

Folder: Rectangle cut at 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"

My Pink Stamper - Design Team - Teacher Gifts

Teacher Gifts

This is the first year that I have someone in school. My daughter Ariel is in pre-school. She has learned so much! So I want to give this Pencil Holder to her teacher, as a token of my appriciation.

I started my project by recycling an empty Instant Oatmeal Package.

Clean up any rough edges. Then I painted it with Making Memories Paint.

Then wrapped it with paper from DCWV Grade School Stack.

Stamp Set: My Pink Stamper - School Days

Cricut Cartridge: Doodle Charm - button #37

I used an Action Wobble to add dimension

but it also allows the apple to bounce around when bumped.

Now go to www.mypinkstamper.com to enjoy all the amazing projects the My Pink Stamper Design Team has created for Teacher Gifts.

My Pink Stamper - Birthday Blog Hop

BIRTHDAY Wishes

Welcome to a night of fun! The My Pink Stamper Design Team & Guests would like to welcome you to a special Blog Hop, with all Birthday Projects. You can never have enough Birthday cards. You should be hopping here from Alex, if not go back to My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning of the blog hop to find a lot of great inspiration.

We have a Birthday Party this weekend for a 4 year old boy.
So I came up with this quick simple card.

I started this card as an A2 size card until I wanted to use this blue paper for the water but it wasn't wide enough. So I cut my card down to the with of my blue paper. I love the new size. Because I cut it down, the sentiment flag can hang over the edge of the paper and still fit in an envelope.
