July Pinkalicious Blog Hop

Welcome to the July edition of the Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you just hopped over from Shelley Lee Designs, you're in the right place. If you're just stopping by for a visit and would like to hop along (and trust me, you WANT to hop along), go to My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning!

I am so excited about this new release, I can't even stand it! Moo-ey Doodles is soooo cute!!!!!!! Are you loving the DT samples thus far?! Lately I've been focusing on things you can make with or without a die cut machine. I have also been trying to share with all my wonderful followers quick things you can make if you're pressed for time, but still want it "homemade". I love making things myself, but even on vacation, my son, teacher conferences and baking seem to be a full time job in itself. The crafter in me can't seem to be silenced though (*grin*) and I'm hoping to start some bi-weekly tutorials here, as well as on my new baking blog Cupcakes 'N Such.

Ok, I tend to get a little sidetracked.....I looooove these cow prints, don't you?!  The new My Pink Stamper sets are all perfect for any project - complex or simple - and you can't beat the cuteness! Here's my card:


If you love this new set as much as I do, be sure to get yours before they're all gone.....

Thanks for stopping by!
The next stop on the hop is my fellow Texas girl Renee @ I Came, I Saw, I Created

June Pinkalicious Blog Hop

Welcome to the June Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you've just hopped over from Julie @ Ready, Set, Stamp, then you're in the right place. If you're just stopping by for a visit and would like to hop along, head on over to Robyn @ My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning!

Are you loving the new Yankee-Doodles stamp set? I was excited for this set from the moment I got it. My favorite part about the new image stamps is that there is so much you can do with it, even if you don't own a die-cut machine - Cricut, Cameo, etc. I love making cards, but even more, I love trying to tie in my love for crafting with my passion for baking - and these awesome new images have allowed me to do just that!! With that said, I've used Yankee-Doodles to make some cute cupcake toppers for the upcoming holiday....


I'll be sure to post pictures of all the treats after the 4th of July using my toppers, and the ones to come! Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is wonderful Ms. Karlee @ Karlee Krafts

Be sure to get the new kit before it's gone:


And don't forget to head over to My Pink Stamper at the end of the hop for your chance to win it!!

My Pink Stamper Design Team Day

Good morning! Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Memorial Day! I enjoyed time with family and got in some baking and crafting time as well - that makes for a great holiday!!

Today is My Pink Stamper DT post day, and I am so excited to share my creations with you! For today's assignment, we were asked to get creative, and think beyond cards with our awesome new image stamps! I couldn't bring myself to pick just one of the projects I had made, so today, you get two!

I made some cookie favors for a graduation using the local HS colors, and needed a cute topper. The sentiment from Girl Sayings was perfet for it and I couldn't be happier with the results...


For my second project, I was thinking graduation gift...and what girl wouldn't love to get a gift card with unlimted possibilities?! I made a simple (yet girly) gift card holder, and was so excited how perfect my image and sentiment stamps went with my theme...

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creations! We are only one week away from summer vacation, and I can't wait to have LOTS of crafting time with these awesome new stamps from My Pink Stamper!

Pinktastic Special Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pinkstastic Special Release Blog Hop! Are you super excited about the new release?! I know I am!! This is my very first experience working with markers and stamp images, and I couldn't wait to get started. Can I just say I found it very relaxing?? I must also say that I have a lot to learn on coloring, shading, ways to work with the images, etc....and I can't wait!!

Now on to the hop....If you just hopped over from Missy @ Quick Chick Designs, then you're in the right place. If you're just stopping by for a visit and would like to hop along (and you WANT to hop along...trust me!), go to My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning.

I had a lot of fun working with these images....the baker in me specially looooved the cupcake image. The markers are amazing to work with, and the colors are so vibrant. I can't wait to build up my marker collection...and figure out what blending is all about. For our awesome release, I made a tag, and a simple card. I wanted to try to work with the images differently (cutting, and leaving it on a white paper) - again, learning process :)



Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop on the hop is Tracy @ Craft Junkie Too.

My Pink Stamper NSD Designer's Choice Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Designer's Choice Blog Hop! If you hopped over from Tracy's @ Craft Junkie Too, then you're in the right place. If you're just stopping by for a visit and would like to hop along, go to My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning!

The My Pink Stamper DT thought it'd be fun to celebrate National Scrapbook Day with you all, and I am so glad you're here! Today's challenge was "Designer's Choice" - meaning we could make just about anything :). I chose to try out a new "style" - which I haven't quite yet decided if it's really ME or not :) - and also use one of the newest stamps from My Pink Stamper Girly Sayings.

Here's my card (what do you think? Be gentle! LOL)


Are you ready for a GIVEAWAY?! Robyn (aka, My Pink Stamper) has so kindly donated stamps for us to giveaway to our awesome hoppers!!! All you need to do is leave a comment, and I'll choose a winner next week to choose any 4x6 stamp from My Pink Stamper.

MPS Design Team Day - Teacher Gifts

Welcome to My Pink Stamper Design Team post day! Today's theme is Teacher appreciation gifts. I was so excited for this project, as a teacher myself, because I had seen something on Pinterest that I've been wanting to make for a while...a gift caddy. Here's how it turned out....

Most Sonic drive-thrus are more than willing to give you one or two drink caddies for free, so I thought this would be an inexpensive way to put a gift together. I added a soda, some sweet treats and and apple (of course) to finish it off. I used My Pink Stamper School Days to make my own "background" paper and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I used My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious for the "to/from" tag. The apple is from the Cricut Preserves cartridge, and the "for my teacher" is from my fave font, Don Juan.

My Pinkalicious Blog Hop

Welcome to the April edition of the My Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you just hopped over from Renee's at I Came, I Saw, I Created, then you're in the right place! If you're just stopping by for a visit and would like to hop along, go to My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning.

Our theme for today's project is Mother's Day. I was excited to get this card done, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do...and I am even more excited about delivering it to my mother with a cookie bouquet on Mother's Day at her job (thank goodness she never comes to my blog to check out my work, or the surprise would be ruined). For today's project, I made a flower pot, insert card....




All of the patterned paper I used (except the leaves) are from Imagine More Cards, and all flower cuts are from Flower Shoppe - I love this cartridge for flowers!! The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Hope and Courage stamp set. All I need to do now is add a personalized note, and I'm all set for Mother's Day!

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Shelley at Cricut Cuteness

Spring is in the Air

Today is Design Team day at My Pink Stamper, and I'm so excited to finally be getting back in the "groove" with my crafting - I even cleaned my craft room this weekend. I have soooo many ideas I want to make come to life in the next few weeks, and I can't wait to share it with all of you!!

"Spring is in the air" is the theme for today's challenge, which required us to use the colors green, blue and yellow, and a butterfly somewhere in our projects. I made a 4x4 card (with my Gypsy that just arrived, YAY!!!) using sentiments from My Pink Stamper Biggie Punnies, and my Crate a Critter cartridge.....


Thanks for stopping by!
Be sure to check back over the next few weeks for new projects to come...
