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!

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...

Hooooray!!!!

Why am I sooo happy?! Well, my gypsy is on it's way back to me!! Woohooo!! Not looking forward to re-downloading all 200+ cartridges, but I can't seem to function without it! :)

So, how have I spent my Spring Break? Baking!! I love making cakes, cupcakes and cookies, but my newest addiction are chocolate-covered oreos. Here are a few I've made over the week. If you'd like to follow my baking, you can "Like" me on facebook at www.facebook.com/CupcakesNSuch :)

The stamps I used for the tags are all from My Pink Stamper collection.

Go check them out!

Bridal Shower Treats

So, while I wait for my new gypsy to come - ohhh the thought of re-downloading 200+ cartridge - I've been doing what I do best (next to crafting, of course): bake! I made these cookie favors and cupcakes for a Bridal Shower. Enjoy!

Welcome to the March Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you hopped over from Cricut Cuteness, 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.

Today's challenge was to create anything for St. Patrick's Day, and I knew just the thing!! Last summer, I saw the cuttest Independence Day hat on the Martha Stewart website and have been dying to give it a go. I dug in my pantry, got out a small can of tomato sauce (I'm usually cooking for one and a half - my wonderful two year old - so I have small everything in my pantry). I made it into a Leprechaun hat, and filled it with gold chocolate coins - what's more fitting?! It's a simple project that makes an adorable little gift for St. Patty's Day!!!

The sentiments from My Pink Stamper's Yummy-licious go with just about any occassion, and was the perfect one for this project!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project!

Recipe Sharing

Hello! And welcome to another My Pink Stamper Design Team day! Our challenge for the month of February was to use as many My Pink Stamper stamps as we could on one project. I had a few ideas in mind, and after playing around with my original creation, I went to my second :).

As most of you know, I absolutely LOVE to bake - it's my second addiction (I mean, umm, passion)! Every time I show up at a get-together or an event with something sweet, it almost never fails, someone asks me for the recipe and I don't know it by heart. I don't know why I never thought of this before, but I made recipe cards to keep in my purse for those occassions that someone just falls in love with my recipes. My Pink Stamper's Yummy-licious set was PERFECT for this idea....

Valetine's Treats and a Gypsy Update

I decided to make some Valetine's treats for my favorite co-workers, because there's nothing like a one-of-a-kind, edible treat! Baking has quickly become an addiction - next to crafting, of course. With taht said, the only thing missing on my little treat bags was a cute, Cricut-made tag with a stamp on it (I'm still having Gypsy withdraws). Here's how the cookies turned out...


Now for a quick Gypsy update....I LOVE ProvoCraft! They had never heard of the weird issued my Gypsy was having, so they are replacing it for me. The only downfall is that it may take a little bit to get it back because I have to send mine to them in order for them to match the numbers so I can re-load all 200+ cartridged - OUCH!!

Superbowl Sweets

I've been meaning to get these posted, and I thought I'd do it before next season starts :). I made these cookies and cupcakes for a Superbowl luncheon we had at school for all the teachers...

February Pinkalicious Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the February Pinkalicious Blog Hop! If you hopped over from 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 hope along, go to My Pink Stamper to start at the beginning.

Hope you're enjoying all the wonderful projects the My Pink Stamper designers have created so far! I had a cute project for you guys today, but I had a gypsy malfunction...and if any of you are gypsy lovers, you'll understand when I say I haven't crafted without it in over two years. With that said, I need to pull my cartridges out of storage and learn how to use my expression again :)
