Who says you need a Cricut to make a cute card?!? I'd like to apologize in advance. The paper didn't photograph well at all...

This card is so simple that I don't think any crafters out there need a recipe. LOL! Hit me with your questions!

Enjoy,

Ash

My Pink Stamper Challenge #12: Kid Themed Project

So many posts, so little time:/ I hope I can make it!!! This will be great for my nieces birthday this summer! She is 9 and loves girly animal prints. :)

I apologize, the sentiment didn't photograph well. It says "Happy Birthday" in purple ink.

I kept this one blank since I'm running out of time.

Recipe:

• Preserves Cart for the cartouche
• Matching buttons and ribbon
• Cheetah embossing folder

This little card took no time at all.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #9: Glitz, Glam, & Glitter

I absolutely love my Cricut, but sometimes it is faster to create something without the Cricut cuts especially when your using a "busy" paper. Decided to make some extra cards for next Mother's Day...Let me know what you think. I love your comments:)

Recipe:

• DCWV Royal Garden stack and matching card stock
• Pop-dots
• Both inside and outside sentiments were typed. I traced a Colorbok tag around the sentiment, after I printed it.
• Adhesive gems
• 2 JoAnn Fabric sewing pins-(only $1.50)

Enjoy,
Ash

My Pink Stamper Challenge #8: Summer Themed Project

As you can see I skipped a couple of the challenges, but I may try to get to them. ;) 

The sentiment didn't photograph well. It says "A Mother's Love".

Believe it or not, this card did not take very long either.

Recipe:

• K&Co. Designer Amy Butler Paper and matching card stock
• "A Mother's Love" clear stamp
• Handmade Pinwheels and Brads to hold
• Handmade banner
• Typed sentiment on the inside

Have a question? Just leave a comment:)

My Pink Stamper #6: Incorporate a Tag

• K& Co. Glitter Paper
• ColorBok Glitter Chipboard tags
• The purple Flourish and "Love you so" sentiment are clear stamps

• The Gold Rope I cut from a Crown Royal Reserve bag (I love when I can recycle!!!)

Enjoy,
Ash

My Pink Stamper Challenge #5: Use/Make a 3-D item

Recipe:

• DCWV Luxury Stack

I hope all Mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!!

My Pink Stamper Challenge #4: Mother's Day Theme

Here is a Mother's Day card I made. I chose the Celebrate stamp because I really liked how the font and design of it matched the style of the card. On the inside it says "Celebrating you and all that you stand for and all that you do. No one deserves to relax like you! Happy Mother's Day!"

Recipe:

• DCWV Luxury Stack
• Canson Treasure Mats
• K& Co. Glitter Paper
• Friskars Corner Punch
• TPC Studio Whimsy Greetings Clear Stamp Set
• Inside sentiment was typed and printed
• Summer in Paris Cart
• Brown Ribbon and Gold Fringe (The gold fringe was too long so I put a piece of tape strait across the bottom and trimmed with my scissors along the edge. The tape helps you keep the cut strait and sticks to all the leftover scraps.)

I hope you enjoyed my post!! Please comment if you have any questions. :)

My Pink Stamper Challenge #3: Breast Cancer Awareness/Pink

• Gold chain from an old necklace

My Pink Stamper Challenge #2: Kraft Paper

This is an easy and fast gift idea (as many of you know). It's even faster and cheaper to create because I did not have to cut, glue, pop-dot, etc. Cricut cuts even though I love them, but there was very little time for so many fun projects. I've participated in as many as possible, but will attempt one more before the day ends. :)

 

Recipe:

• Approx. 3 sheets of 12" x 12" Kraft Stock (cut into four - 3.5" x 5" cards, with extra for the trimmings)
• The set of 22 Clear Choice Travel France Stamps
• 4 sheets of four different colored solids
• Buttons, Brads, and Ribbons
• 4 of your favorite embossing folders and your Texture Boutique or Cuddlebug

Just a few supplies and an hour and you have a great set of cards. Stack them together and wrap them with a bow or if you have a little extra time you could make a box for them.  I hope you found this post useful!!!

The Bird is the Word

• DCWV Luxury Stack
• Studio 112 "Mother" Stamp
• A transparency sheet for an over head projector(as the glass of the door of the clock.)
• Pop-dots

The inside of the card says "Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and game me wings to fly." -Sarah Malin
