My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop - February

2012-02-10T18:00:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone, It is time for another fun Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you are coming from my sweet friend Courtney's Blog, you are right on track. If you are just coming across this post on your own, be sure to start at My Pink Stamper’s blog so that you don’t miss out on anything. Once you’ve visited all of the FABULOUS blogs along the way, be sure to head back over to My Pink Stamper’s blog to join in on the challenge.

Tonight our theme for our project is: Use the color red, a circle, a pink ribbon, MORE THAN ONE My Pink Stamper stamp and your Cricut. Create a card, scrapbook page or home decor item. I had so much fun creating these sweet little cards. My plan was to create 4 different designs and then recreate 6 more sets for my children's teachers for Valentines Day, so they would each have a little set of cards. But that idea got put on the back burner for preparation for my sister in laws wedding this weekend (be on the look out for fun wedding related posts). So I sat down and at least created 2 different designs to share with you tonight. Then next week Monday and Tuesday guess what I will be doing?? Yes, you guessed right making 20 more cards, oh and making treat bags for my children's classmates, unless they let me go the easy route.

So on to how I created these cards, I welded the bases for my cards using my gypsy to create two 3"x3" cards. I added some cute ribbon, stitching with my white Sukera gel pen, a few cuts from my Cricut and of course 2 different stamps from My Pink Stamper.

For the Base 3"x3" - Kate's ABC's Cricut Cartridge
1st Layer - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
2nd Layer - 3 x 3"
Circle cut at 1 1/2" & top layer Circle cut at 1 1/4" - Create a Critter

For the Base 4"x 4" - Nate's ABC's Cricut Cartridge
1st Layer - 1 1/4" x 3 1/2"

So I have been thinking about my blog the last few months and as you I am sure noticed I took a little step back to focus on my family. Plus I feel we have all been sick off and on since November. It has been a very long trying almost 3 months. Yesterday and today I have been taking care of our youngest who has the stomach flu and trying to keep everyone else from getting. I feel so bad for my sweet baby! I keep praying God would bring health to our family. We have so much going on in the next 4 weeks!

Does any one have any tips on how to get the germs out of your house? I feel like I have been cleaning non stop and still not making any progress.

Well, about the blogging. I will try to post as often as I can craft projects and I also decided I would like to add a few more family posts in the mix. I have been think too about doing a special what's for dinner segment once a week or maybe just once a month. I thought it would be so fun to if we could all link up and share our ideas for dinner. In the new year one of my goals is to get more organized with meals. I will be back soon with a project or two. I

I hope you are all have a wonderful weekend!

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop - January

2012-01-13T19:25:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone, It is time for another fun Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you are coming from Edna's blog (Create With Expression), you are right on track. If you are just coming across this post on your own, be sure to start at My Pink Stamper’s blog so that you don’t miss out on anything. Once you’ve visited all of the FABULOUS blogs along the way, be sure to head back over to My Pink Stamper’s blog to join in on the challenge.

Tonight our theme for our project is: A fresh clean start! Make something for yourself or that you would give someone to welcome the fresh clean start of a New Year! It can be a card, scrapbook page, gift or home decor item. Use your Cricut and of course My Pink Stamper Stamps!!

For my project I created a new notebook for myself since the one I had made before to keep track of everything grew wings and flew away. I covered a plain notebook I had purchased at the Dollar Tree with some super cute paper by Cosmo Cricket, added a few different ribbons to the spirals from Joann's. Then I cut the owl from Kate's ABC's at 3", used pop dots to add him on the front and then added some stickles to the leaves and the beak. I then added the sentiment to the front of my notebook from My Pink Stamper's stamp set Encourage Me. I also decided to cut tabs for the side of my notebook to make dividers. I cut the tabs from the cricut cartridge From My Kitchen at 2", then added some cute sentiments to the tabs from My Pink Stamper stamp sets Sweetest Cupcakes, Scrap-alicious, and Sport-tastic.

But lets get on to what you are all really here for. Tonight our challenge for our hop is to create a Scrapbook Page or Mini Album, use our Cricut's and My Pink Stamper New Release Stamp set(s). I created a mini album for my niece Selena who just had surgery yesterday to cheer her up. I left the inside of the album blank so each of my kids can decorate a page and write her a little note. For the front I added a flower from the Forever Young Cartridge cut at 1.8" and I decorated the binding with ribbon. I of course used Robyn My Pink Stamper's brand new stamp set "Biggie Family Seniments".

Fall Wreath

2011-10-04T08:47:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. My little boy turned 5 on Sunday, which I can not believe. He is growing up so fast! We had a little party for him to celebrate and my oldest daughter Alyssa made him a cake, so sweet!! I will be sharing those pictures later this week.

So on to my project today. I saw the wreath Lauren from Lauren Creative made a few weeks ago and fell in LOVE! I just had to recreate it or more like copy its every detail!! I love everything about her beautiful wreath. I never thought I could make my wreath even anything close to as pretty as Lauren's and I was surprised and excited how with how my wreath turned out, I LOVE IT!!!

I might have to take a new picture so you cant see my reflection and so much light reflection.

My sweet friend Trish asked me to do a tutorial on how I made my wreath. I really copied Lauren's directions she linked to but here is my take on how to recreate this beautiful wreath.

First the Supplies you need to get started:

Hot Glue Gun (I am now wanting a cordless one & protectors so I don't burn my fingers)

Wire Cutter

Very Sharp Scissors

14" Straw Wreath (leave plastic on)

(3) Acorn Picks

Pepper berry Pick

Green Yarn (I Used Yarn by Vanna White)

Brown (Multi-colored) Yarn

Brown Ribbon

(5) Sheets of 9 x 12 Felt

Lets get started....

First wrap your wreath with yarn, just to warn you find a good movie, curl up and start wrapping. This process took me well over 2 hours maybe almost 3. I tried to be perfect but it was impossible, after it was completely wrapped I went back through and covered the wholes. I used almost a whole skein of yarn.

Then tie the yarn in the back in a knot.

Sorry I did not take a picture of wrapping the brown multi yarn. I just tied a knot in the back to secure the brown yarn to the green, then wrapped the yarn in an x pattern like Lauren did and then tied another knot to secure it again.

This is what is looked like before embellishments.

Now lets make a few flowers. I created my Mums by cutting 4 - 1" x 12" strips from felt. I wanted some smaller mums also and cut 4 - 1" x 9" strips.

Then cut slits leaving about 1/4" or less. I used the grid on my mat to cut the slits some what evenly.

Do this to all of the strips while your hot glue gun is warming up.

Now put a strip of hot glue and start rolling. I put a 6" strip of hot glue, rolled and then repeated till your mum is all rolled.

Then is looks like this when complete, thankfully no one can see underneath.

And they are that simple. I think they are so cute!!

Now to create the felt rolled flower click HERE for the step by step instructions from a previous post. I created paper rolled flowers in that tutorial but you create them exactly the same but I used hot glue gun to adhere the flower together. I created 2 different size flowers, so I cut my circles at 5" & 6 ".

The acorns and berries

First I cut pieces off of the berries and acorns, then layed them down. I glued them to the wreath, don't worry it looks like a mess when you are doing it but you will cover it with the flowers.

Then I added the flowers.

My complete wreath!

Thank you Lauren so much for the inspiration!!! I am so please I was able to create something even a tiny pit as beautiful as you create!!!!

The Queen's Royal Court Blog Hop Day 5 - 4 My Babies Scraps

Now on to my project today, I created a little onsie for a sweet baby girl. I thought it would be the perfect baby shower gift or such a sweet little onsie to wear at the hospital. I purchased a newborn long sleeve onsie at Walmart. Then used the letter's from the Piper Isabella Alpha kit and the little feet, bow and gem from the elements in the Piper Isabella kit. Arranged it all in Adobe Photoshop and then before I printed it on Avery stretchable printable transfer paper, which can also be purchased at Walmart, I flipped the image so when I ironed it on it would be the right side up. I then followed the directions in the package for the transfer paper and ironed the image on. It seriously was that easy.

Isn't this kit so cute!!!!

I had so much fun creating this super simple and quick birth announcement. I so wish I would have known about digital scrapbooking kits before when I had my babies. I could have saved so much money by creating my own announcements!!! I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 to design this annoucment. Really it is not as hard of software as you would think. I just watched a few videos on You Tube and learned so much!

WILD AND FABULOUS Blog Hop!!!

2011-09-24T03:04:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Scrappin 5 Little Cupcakes and the WILD AND FABULOUS Blog Hop!!! Today we are sharing some super fun and super girlie projects with you! If you've come from visiting Hailey at http://www.cricutcrazygurr.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right place, thanks for hopping along with us today!! If you're just stopping by and would like to start from the beginning you can go to Kassidy, Inking it Up Crazy. You will want to check out each blog for some great ideas and some sweet blog candy.

For my project today I created a pen holder for my oldest daughter Alyssa's desk in her room to match her pictures we created that I will be sharing very soon!! Alyssa decided because she loved it so much she wants to give it to her teacher and add some goodies in it but I think I will just make a few more for their teachers. I bought the container at Walmart, attached the upcycle paper by Cosmo Cricket to the outside of the container using modge podge (my new crafting LOVE!!). Then added twine from The Twinery and a tag, stamped a cute saying from Robyn My Pink Stamper's brand new stamp set "Sweet Goodness". I made some flowers and added glitter to them but as I was adding the pictures to my post I decided I could not stand the way the glitter looked on the flowers so I ripped the flowers off (literally had to rip them off, just so you know modge podge is some STRONG stuff) and remade them without glitter this time.

Now no blog hop would be complete with out some fun blog candy. I am giving away one stamp set of your choice from My Pink Stamper. Just leave a comment on this post by Sunday at midnight and a way for me to contact you and I will pick a winner Monday.

Here’s the order of the hop in case you need it along the way!

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop - Back to School Stamp Set

Thank you so much for stopping by, if you're hopping over from Renee (RockinRenee) then you are in the right place but if this is your first stop on this super fun hop, you are going to want to start from the beginning at Robyn My Pink Stamper's Blog.

For our hop tonight we were to create a 3d project, use your Cricut and My Pink Stamper's BRAND NEW Stamp Set "School Days". Can you believe I finally got in my craft room after weeks?!?!? Well tonight I decided to create some super fun little favors from my son's classmates at school since his Birthday is right around the corner. So I started out with some premade pillow boxes I purchased at Walmart on Clearance. I love those little pillow boxes and I don't have a Cricut Cart that makes one so I thought I better go with the cheaper route. They were only $10 for a box of 50. Then I found some cute paper from Cosmo Cricket and covered the front and back of the pillow box. Added some fun twine I just purchase from The Twinery, shhhhhhhh!! Added a little tag, stamped it with the star and sentiment from the School Days Stamp Set. Then cut out a robot from the Robots Cartridge at 2.2" added him with pop dots and there you have an easy fun favor!!

Details and Material Used:

Gypsy
Premade Pillow Box - Walmart

Busy Busy, prepairing for school.....

2011-09-07T12:16:00.000-07:00

Good Afternoon my Crafty friends!!

I am so sorry for the lack of posts. I have been so busy prepairing for my cupcakes to go back to school. Uniforms to prepair, school suppiles to line up and just the everyday being a mom and wife has kept me so busy. Can you believe I have not stepped foot in my craft area in over 2 weeks, ekkkkk!

My cupcakes are all in school today, today is Zander's first day of Pre K. He looked so handsom in his uniform!! Here are a few pictures of them all ready for school.

First day of Pre K.

Aubrey - 1st Grade, Alyvia - 3rd Grade, Autumn 19 months,

Alyssa -6th Grade & Aleczander - Pre K

It is so crazy to me how fast my cupcakes are growing up!!! Time is really flying by!

This is my front door, it really does not look like a home of a crafty Mom!! I need your help or opinion. What does it need, what should I do?? I have a few ideas but what do you think???

The LOVE of shoes - Layout!!

2011-08-30T04:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Tuesday my crafty friends,

I had such a wonderful time at my Photography class on Saturday, it was 1000 times better and the teachers were amazing!! I really learned so much, now if I can just use it. I need to practice, practice, practice!!!

So I have been doing a little more digital scrapbooking. I don't think I will ever totally replace my traditional scrapbooking with digital but I do love how fast it is. Oh and I love all of the adorable kits from Amanda Creation's. I just purchased her brand new kit "You're a Hoot" and here is the layout I created using it.

Be on the look out for more fun projects with this kit!!!

Are you in the mood for Christmas????

2011-08-27T06:33:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I am off to a photography class today, I'm hoping I learn how to use my camera a little better. We took this class over a month ago and we were very disappointed, it was not the instructors it was supposed to be and there were over 200 people taking the class the same day. But the company that hosted and taught the class heard about our disappointment. They were so gracious and offered us a complimentary class. I am excited to retake it with the original instructor it was supposed to be and hopefully have a little incite on how to use my camera better!!

So, I stumbled upon this card the other day I never shared with you that I created during My Pink Stamper's sneak peeks of her latest new release stamps. So I thought I would share it with you, here.

Are you in the mood yet for Christmas? I am not yet but I am for sure ready for cooler weather. It has been a very HOT week but cooling down for us does not happen normally for another 2 months, sigh. Well, on to my card......

The Queen's Royal Court Blog Hop Day #7 - PSA Essentials

2011-08-14T03:00:00.000-07:00

I am linking up for the first time with Skip To My Lou's Made By You...

Happy Sunday Everyone and Welcome to the last day of The Queen's Royal Court Week Long Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from The Queen's blog then you are on the right track, if not head their to start from the beginning.

If you are looking for the Pink-alicious Blog Hop either scroll down or click here.

Everyday this week we have been featuring PSA Essentials, with a little twist of back to school thrown in. Today I am showing you a step by step tutorial on how I created the candy bar holder I shared with you on Monday. Just to warn you this is going to be a LONG post but I did not want to miss a step!!! So lets get starts........

Most of the things I used for my project.

Start with a piece of card stock 5"x 6" - I used card stock by Recollections
Score 2 3/4" and then fold

Mark 1 3/4" down on the fold & cut

Score the short side to were you just made the cut.
Fold down to make your flap, then crease with bone folder.

Punch the flap with a boarder punch - I used a Martha Stewart Boarder Punch

Fold the short side over with the flap to cover the base of the paper. You should have about a 1/2" left over on the left. Now we are going to make a flap to create the pocket.
Cut 2 3/4" down or till you meet the flap.

Turn the paper so we can cut the top strip off.
The bottom corner should be on the 2" mark, then cut off so it is at an angle.

Then score the flap.

This is what the base should look like.

Use Red Sticky Tape to adhere.
Put the candy bar in place, then fold flap over top flap to create the pocket.

This is what it should look like before you embellish.

Pattern Paper by Cosmo Cricket - 3" x 2 1/2"
Scalloped Circle by EK Success - 2"
Circle punch by Creative Memories - 1 1/2" & 1 1/4"

I used the stamps from the Rocket PSA Essentials Peel & Stick Pack.

I colored my image with my Bic Write It Markers.
Punch whole in tag
Add ribbon, I add a strip of adhesive to the ribbon to hold it in place. Then tie a bow.
Sentiment stamp by My Pink Stamper's Brand New Stamp Set "School Days".
I trimmed the tag by hand with my scissors.

Added My Tag With Pop Dots.
A little tip to save money on adhesives, save and cut up your pop dot packages.

My finished project, I added a little adhesive to the back of my candy bar to keep it from slipping out.

If you are still reading this I am impressed!! I hope I did not bore you to much or confuse you ( I should have just done a video), if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

This is my adorable custom stamp from PSA Essentials, LOVE IT!!!

Now are you ready for what I know you are all really here for, my surprise giveaway!! (I choose one winner from last Friday's blog hop and this Friday's) I am giving away a Boy Crazy Stamp Set from My Pink Stamper. Not really much of a surprise, HUH?
