My Pink Stamper Challenge #11: Pink, Green, & Black

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,

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.

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. ;)

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 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 #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!!!

• DCWV Luxury Stack

In Honor of Mom...

 Good evening, Friends! I have been a crafting fiend, and "in the weeds" with my blogging. I have taken on a rather ambitious number of cards this week and last, so I apologizing for consistently being MIA.

This is one of the many Mother's Day cards I have recently made for my friend to give to her mom. 

THE RECIPE: 

• DCWV-The Luxury Stack

• Adhesive Pearls and Ribbon

• Strait from the Nest Cart 

• Lacy Labels Cart 

• Studio 112 "Mother" stamp 

• Martha Stewart Border Punch

The inside sentiment says "For all the times I didn’t thank you, either because

I was too young, too busy or just didn’t find the words, today

I thank you for all you’ve done for me. Now that I’m older, I realize more and more everything you did,everything you gave, and most importantly everything you stand for, and I love you and thank you with all of my grateful heart." -Jennifer Fujita. If you have any questions about the card feel free to comment!
