Ginger Bread Man Card Set

Welcome to the My Pink Stamper October Blog Post

I have a craft fair coming up so I wanted to make alot of Christmas Cards. So I am making several packages of cards. Each package will contain 6 cards that are all the same. The first package I made with a Ginger Bread Man because this was the perfect stamp for it.

 If I make this card set again I think I will find something like a Viva Decor Pen to make all the details with. there were just too many little pieces.

 Stamp from My Pink Stamper's Winter Treats & Sayings Stamp Set. This is a great Holiday Stamp Set with so many different sentiments to make the perfect card with. To check out all of the My Pink Stamper Stamps, click HERE.

 I packaged 6 cards with envelopes in a plastic card box from PaperTrey Ink. It is so hard to take a picture of something shinny without getting a glare. But in person the plastic case makes these cards look even nicer.

I finished off the card box with this Tag and another great stamp from My Pink Stamper's Winter Treats & Sayings Stamp Set.

Now I want to share something my 4 year old daughter made. I was so proud of her, that I wanted to share it with you.

 She made this cute little Snowgirl on a sled with my Cricut, then Stamped with a My Pink Stamper Stamp, and of course she had to write her name at the top. (she is in pre-school)

 My favorite part is that she asked to use my White pen. Then I watched her make foe stitch marks just like mommy does. I was so proud of her.

Then she wanted her picture with her project. So Cute!

My 2 year old's Birthday Party

 Birthday Party Decor

 We celebrated my 2 yr old's Birthday with the family on Saturday. I wanted to make a banner but didn't have a pennant on any of my cartridges and didn't want to create a triangle one so I found this tag from Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge. It is button 8 cut at width-5.35" x height 5.6". I embossed the bottom half with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. Then cut the white letters from Lyrical Letters Cricut Cartridge, Jumbo function at 3". I love that I was able to make a Birthday banner with what I had. If you don't have something, be creative with something you do have.

I made cupcakes for her birthday & wanted to try to make cupcake holders. These were cut from Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge, button 10 at 7". The base of the holder ends up being about 2.5" I wasn't sure what size to make them & this was what I guessed. It left enough room to get the cupcake out without getting icing allover your fingers. I stamped them with My Pink Stamper Stamps:

Princess - Love-alicious Stamp Set

Sweetie Pie - Everyday Life Stamp Set

Sweet Cupcake - Everyday Life Stamp Set

These were fun to make & made the Birthday special. I can even use them over again next year.

Winter Warmies FCCB Challenge #42

Winter Warmies FCCB Challenge #42

Use some type of winter clothing/accessory on the project. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to make & then I thought of this cute little beaver with the scarf. Then I wanted to make a card using the Smiley Cards. So this is what I designed.

The card base is from Smiley Cards. The outside layer is cut at 3.5" & the inside layer is cut at 3.25". Then I cut the tab off the inside layer. The patterned background was cut with Plantin SchoolBook at 4". I am not sure what size the blue layer to write on was. The beaver was cut from Winter Frolic at 2". Then I inked it & made details with a glitter gel pen. The Sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink -Daily Designs Sentiments. I hope you enjoyed this unique card design.
Join us at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB) and post your own Winter Warmie. Just include at least one Cricut cut & use some type of winter clothing or accessory on your project.

Merry Christmas - Sheep Card

Sheep- Border Function from Winter Frolic, cut at 2"

Brown Scallop - Border Function from Winter Frolic, button#20, cut at 1"

Star - Shift Border Function from Winter Frolic, button#44, cut at 2.18"

I only used the first star in that cut. I hid the other 2 on my gypsy but you can cut all three and just use the first one.

Star Dust Stickles on the star.

I used a hole punch to punch out eyes on the sheep's heads.

This is a simple card that went together quickly.

Here is a Christmas Card I made with Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge an a stamp that someone gave me. I embossed the cream background with a cuttlebug embossing folder to give it some depth. I cut out the Shepherd at 2.5" but I cut off the sheep since it would not fit on this card. Baby Jesus and the star was cut at 1.04". I used stardust Stickles on the star and around baby Jesus. I used a sparkly orange gel pen around the straw and on the orange star to make it shimmer. The faces were from Peachy Keen Snow Cutie Face Stamps. I like how this card turned out and it was fun putting all the different cuts together. Lay them out first to figure out where you need to glue them. I had to peel mine apart several times until I got it right.

I make cards and sell them. Someone wanted a custom card made for a relative who has a birthday on Christmas. So this is what I came up with using Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge and My Pink Stamper Family and Friends Stamp. I thought it turned out really cute.

I cut out several different snowmen. They were all cut at 3" and I used chalk on the cheeks. I love how they turned out and I can't wait to make more projects with them. I love snowmen.

This week was my birthday so I went shopping at Joann Fabrics today! Lots of fun, until I ran out of money...but I got some great things. I got Summer Vacation and Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridges. I also got some more Cricut Mats & DCWV-The Green Stack. The background paper from that paper stack. It has great colors and cute animals like Create A Critter Cartridge has. Enough about my shopping trip & here is the recipe.

A Gift For You
Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge
DCWV-The Green Stack Paper and scraps
Brown Ribbon
Brown Gel Pen
Star Dust-Stickles
Chestnut Roan-Color Box Ink (around trees)
Quick Stik- QuicKutz (helpful with all the little pieces)
Pop Dots

Tree Border - pg 44    cut 5.5" fit to length or 2"
          Cut off the 2 left trees for the girl to stand on the snow
          Color the tree trunks with the brown pen & ink the edges of the trees

Girl - pg 43      cut 2.5"
            There are a lot of little pieces so I used the Quick Stik. It has a stick clay type time so I can pick it up and place it where I want to.
             Some of the cuts had two colors in it. I didn't want to cut them out twice so I designed it on my Gypsy to see exactly where the paper needed to go on the mat.
              Glue the coat on before the face. I didn't & I had to peel mine up.

Phrase - A Gift For You  pg 43    cut 2"
