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.

Supplies & Instructions

Stamp Set: My Pink Stamper - Birthday Crazy

The perfect Stamp Set for any type of Birthday Card.

Cricut Cartridge: "Just Because" Cards

Boat on button #44 - Cut at 3"

Paper: Kraft Cardstock & Cor'dinations Paper (Sand edges to add texture)

Foam Dots: used to raise up layers of the boat to add dimension

Next Hop to Helen's blog for another
great Birthday Project.

Tell me what your favorite part of Spring is. I love getting to know my readers.

Spring is my favorite season in the Midwest, United States. I love it when the weather begins to warm up, the flowers start to emerge out of the ground, and the trees being to bud. I love flower beds and I can't wait till it is warm enough to get outside to clean up my flower.

I will draw a winner on Tuesday.

Butterfly Card - Thinking of you

Pin It

This card was created for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge for this week.

#99 – Fancy Trims Use fabric, lace or other trims on your project.

Click on the challenge description above, to go the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge and join the fun.

I had an old shirt that had holes in it. Lately I have been saving old clothes, in-case I can use them in a project. So I cut the bottom hem off this pink shirt.

I put score tape across it near the hem stitching.

Then I carefully folded the fabric back and forth as I adhered it to the card. Then I tucked under the end and adhered it. After that I found some ribbon that I wrapped around the card to finish off the pleated fabric, and tied a bow.

Stamp- My Pink Stamper's - Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set

Butterfly and Cage cut from the Cricut using Bloom Cricut Cartridge. Cut at 2 3/4 inches. I used Core'dinations paper for the cuts. Then accented them with Crystal Stickles and Recollections Rhinestones. The butterfly had foam adhesive under the middle and the wings folded up to add dimension. The top of the cage had foam adhesive but the bottom of the cage I used score tape since the fabric raised that part of the card up.

Thank you for visiting my Simple Creations.

Come back again for more projects created with a Cricut Machine and stamps.

My Pink Stamper 12 Days of Christmas - Video & Challenge

Robyn at My Pink Stamper is celebrating 12 Days of Christmas. The design team has made some special holiday projects & videos to share with you. Each day there is a new video and challenge for you to join. Check out all the fun at www.mypinkstamper.com

Nativity Card using Christmas Wishes Stamp Set

Card Instructions

Card Base: 10.5" x 5.25"

Emboss the front of the card using: Swiss Dots - Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Cut the following out using a Cricut Machine and Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge

Nativity - 3"

Sheep - 2.25"

Donkey - 2.25"

Camel - 2.25"

Manger - 2.5"

Baby Jesus - 2.5"

Cut the following out using a Cricut Machine and Christmas Cricut Cartridge

Star - 3.5"

After cutting out everything use a sanding block or ink to distress the edges so the whole image will appear better. I sanded Core'dinations paper because the core of the paper is another color so it creates a nice effect. On the other papers I used Tea Dye ink from PaperTrey Ink. Then I stamped "Silent Night" using My Pink Stamper's Christmas Wishes Stamp Set. The stamp paper can be adhearded to the inside of the Nativity Stable. I adhered all the pieces using Scotch Quick Dry adhesive & foam squares. You need a strong adhesive so the paper will stick to the embossed card base. Sorry when I shot my video of this card, my camera batteries weren't charged. So it died about 4 times, because I would charge them for about an hour and then film some more. So I'm sorry the video is a bit pieced together but most the details are there.

Go to www.mypinkstamper.com to join the challenge for today.

Create your own card with a Holiday Scene.

Love Scrapbook Page using My Pink Stamper's "From the Heart" Stamp Set.

Welcome to the Pinkalicious Blog Hop. This is where all the My Pink Stamper Designers get to show off our projects using My Pink Stamper High Quality Photo Polymer Stamps.

I love how all these papers came together. The Striped Pattern paper is from a Christmas Paper Pack. It's amazing how you can pull different papers together to make a great layout.

I used border punches from EK Sucess to create a story book feel & accented it with We R Memory Keepers - Blue Lagoon - Baker's Twine.

Love is Cut from:

Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge

Button #3 at 2 1/2"

This is a beautiful stamp. I love how elegant "love story" is. This stamp set includes four different sized heart stamps. Great for accents anywhere.

Another elegant stamp. I've learn it is very simple to incorporate stamps into everyday scrapbooking.

The Couple is cut from:

Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge

Button #4 at 4"

Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge

Button #4 using Shadow feature at 2 1/4"

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop

Welcome to Simple Creation's and My Pink Stamper's Pink-alicious Blog Hop. If you came from June then you are right on track. If you are just begining the hop, then go to www.mypinkstamper.com to start at the beginning.

Hi, I'm Angela. I want to start off sharing a bit about myself so you can get to know me. I love to craft and do anything with my hands. I get to stay home with our two little girls. They keep me very busy so I try to craft during nap time or when I get a chance. My four year old crafts with me and knows how to use every tool.

God is a huge part of my life. My husband and I are pastors at an amazing church. I am very involved with the Nursery, Young Adults, Worship Team and run our Young Adult Cafe. So even though I "stay home" life is always busy, but I love what I do.

I love to craft with my Gypsy, Cricut Expression, Cuttlebug, Stamps, & Copic Markers. My favorite paper line is Core'dinations because it cuts so well on the Cricut and then I can sand it to accent another color. I love the quality of My Pink Stamper Stamps. They stamp so well & work with both Scrapbooking & Card Making. I am honored to be on this design team for a second term and look forward to getting to know you more. I love reading all your comments.
