30th Birthday Invitaion

Birthday Invitation

I created this Birthday Invitation to fit in a business size envelope. So that I could fit all the details and print it off on the printer and trim it to fit on the inside.

Numbers: Sweet Treat Cricut Cartridge cut at 3"

Stamp: My Pink Stamper Birthday Crazy Stamp Set

This stamp is perfect for making Birthday Invitations!

My Husband is turning 30 years old today. Happy Birthday Honey. 

I love this picture that I took while he was taking pictures on our vacation at the Bay in San Francisco, California.

Pinkalicious Blog Hop - November

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. This month we wanted to show you how to use stamps on Scrapbook Pages or Mini Albums. If you are just starting to Hop, then go back to the beginning at Robyn (My Pink Stamper). If you have hopped here from Renee (RockinRenee) then you are in the right place.

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.

Custom Wedding Album

Wedding Album Gift

I had a custom order for a 8"x8" Wedding Album. It made the perfect Wedding Gift. I tried to keep everything simple & elegant. So I used Black & White and accented it in Apple Red, which was their wedding color. All of the photo mats are 4.25" x 6.25" so that 4"x 6" photos will fit perfect in them. So all the Bride & Groom have to do is adhere there pictures & the album is complete. I am sorry for some glare on the pictures. I took the pictures while it was in the album so I could keep it all together. Scroll down to the bottom for the album details.

I hope you enjoyed this project. I was amazed I was able to complete this who album so quickly. By using pattern paper from one pack & accenting with Red & Black, keeping all the photo mats the same size, and the designs simple helped make this album simple & quick. Now I have all of these cuts saved on my Gypsy, so the next Wedding Album will be even simpler because it is already designed. This is a great way to make a personalized gift than a special couple will cherish for a lifetime. I even included adhesive squares for them to mount there pictures with.

My Pink Stamper Design Team Post - April

 Wedding Themed: Cake Box

Put candy or other yummy goodies inside the box to thank your guests for attending. Make a large cake by putting many cake boxes together. These could even be the center piece on the table.

The ribbon is for looks but also to hold the box closed. This picture shows how the cake box is put together.

How To Make:

Cake Box (button #45) -  Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Cartridge - 8"

Hearts (button #27-blackout) - Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut Cartridge - 1.25" (cut 2x)

Stamp - My Pink Stamper - Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set

First cut out the cake box.  Then score the lines and test fold it to make sure the point will fold right. If you want to stamp the sentiment directly on the box then do it before it is glued together. I tried to stamp it on the box and that was to late so I had to stamp on another paper and then glue that down. Cut 2 hearts, pop up, and adhere. Glue the box togeher except for the square end. Use adhesive (tape runner) on the ribbon that will go on the 2 sides on the box. But don't let any tape go on the end or your guests won't get the box open. I found it helped to adhere the ribbon to the box because it would stay in place and not slide around. Insert your candy or yummy goodies into the box. Tie a beautiful bow to keep the box closed. And you have a simple but beautiful cake box. Change the stamp and decorations to make it work for any type of party favor. This project was alot of fun to make and I love how it turned out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Well...this was not the original project I made for this post. We were suppose to make a party favor using any theme. I found a beautiful box with a cake on it and I loved the colors, but I just didn't love the finished project. Some projects you will fall in love with and other's just aren't your favorite. I still want to share it with you.





These are front and back views.

Girl 1st Brithday Card

Welcome to our April Pinkalicious Blog Hop. It begins with Robyn at My Pink Stamper. If you are coming from Courtney from Court's Crafts, then you are in the right place.

The theme for this Pinkalicious Blog Hop is: Birthday. I was clueless about what I should make, until....I realized I have 2 birthday parties we are going to this week. Duh! I need cards for those. So I made this cute little card for our little friend, Haley, who is turning 1. The candle on an Action Wobble, so it bounces all around.

The stamp set I used is Fabulous Phrases by My Pink Stamper. This is one of my favorite stamp sets because it is perfect for cards. There is a stamp for every occasion on it and they are all on one line that can go across the width of a card.

To view all of My Pink Stamper's products and retailers click HERE.

One Banner - Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge - 1.35"

Candle - Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge - 5"

Guest Designer for Crafting with Cristina - Swing Card

I am so honored to be chosen as a Guest Designer for Crafting with Cristina. She inspires so many of us with techniques and videos. I love all the scrapbooking layouts she makes. If you haven't found her blog yet. Check it out HERE.

For this project I was challenged to make an interactive card. At first I wasn't sure what that meant. So I searched online and I found this awesome card called the Swing Card. This wasn't my idea. Swing cards can be found online. I found a great video tutorial at Michelle's Rubber Room. You can check out her video & design, but I am also going to share a video of how I made my card. I was so excited to shoot a video because I haven't done one in a while. Sorry, I was trying a new angle for my camera and cut out a few things, but I still included the important details.

Thank you for checking out my project today & I hope you enjoy. This is such a fun card to make.

Cupcake Invitations

Cupcake Baby Shower Invitations 

 So, I have had a busy week. I made 70 Cupcake Baby Shower Invitations for a friend. I wanted to share with you how I made them and some tips for how to make so many & not get board with them.

Tips

To make so many effectively I layed everything out on my gypsy as close as I could. Each layer I put as many on the mat as possible for an 8.5"x11" paper. I used 2- 8.5"x11"paper packs from Michaels to create it. The pinks were from the Butterfly Wings & then also the Black & White Pack. Because I was cutting out so many, I even titled each layer- how many pages I needed to cut and what color. Then I pulled out that many pages & cut all of that layer and then moved on to the next layer & repeated the process. After I had everything cut, I started adhering them in sets of 10. By working with sets of 10, I didn't get tired of any one step. It was also a great way to keep track of how any I had done. I finished them off with the cherry, a dot of stickles, and the Sweet Cupcake stamp. I have to say that My Pink Stamp Stamps are an amazing quality photopolymer stamp. I stamped it 70 times right on the invitations & never messed up. It looks so clear & crisp. I use Stazon black ink with it & it looks amazing. I was so suprised that I was able to complete them from start to finish in 2 days (along with my normal responsibilities around the house). 

I hope these tips help you know you can achieve a large project without being overwhelmed by it. 

Just break it down in to steps.

Then after I finished them the soon to be mother had a 2nd ultra sound and found out that she is having a boy. So now I will be creating Baby Invitations with the monkey from Create A Critter.

At least they know other ladies who are having girls that can use these invitations.
