My Pink Stamper Challenge 3 - Make Something with a Breast Cancer Theme

I really wasn't sure what I was going to do for this challenge and then I sat down and started working. The card is pretty simple but I think it is really nice. After I finished the card I remembered that one of my co-worker's mother has just been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Guess where this card is going......

Because the base of the card is black I put a white writing area on the inside cut at 5 inches x 4 inches and stamped the ribbon in the bottom right corner with Stampin Up ink - Pink Passion

My Pink Stamper Challenge 2 - Use Kraft Cardstock

Ok so for this challenge I decided to make a card that I know I am going to need for a friend of mine who is having a baby soon.

Again I used scraps for this card so I don't have the specific details on the paper!

My Pink Stamper Challenge 1 - Anything Cupcake!

The first challenge was anything cupcake! I decided to use the cupcake on Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I used all scraps for this card so I don't know exactly what the specific brands and colors of the papers are. But can I get whoop whoop for using scraps!!!





I used the cupcake card feature and cut it at 7.75 inches with all layers cut at 7.75 inches
I blinged up the cherry on top with Crystal Stickles and used Black Stickles for the cherry stem
For the top layer of icing I used the Circles Cuttlebug folder to emboss and give some texture
The stamp is none other than My Pink Stamper - Simply Sweet Occasions

Teacher Present

So I finally figured out what I was going to make for my Daughter's teacher this year. I made a box containing little note cards with her initial on them. It really did take me all day because I got the colors together and then didn't really know what exactly I was going to do with them. I had a general idea of what I wanted but didn't know how to execute! But here is the finished project and I am sooo very pleased with it. Of course I did forget to take a picture of the note cards prior to packaging them all up!!! Silly me!!!!!

So here is the finished product!!

I put the box of note cards in a cello bag and then topped it off with a 4 inch piece of coordinating paper folded in half. I covered the staples with a 1.25 inch piece of coordinating paper an the scallop circle is from Accent Essentials cut at 3 inches. Most of the paper was from Stampin Up (Can I just say I love their paper!!) and the "B" was cut at 2.75 inches from Plantin Schoolbook then I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to give some texture. I really did love this finished project and wish I would have taken a picture of the note cards. Not too bad for a Sunday project!!

20 Noted Cards @ 3.75 inches x 4 1/8 inches
- Boarder strip 1.75 inches x 3.75 inches (wrapped with ribbon)
- Scallop circle (Accent Essentials) 3 inches
- Letter (Plantin Schoolbook) 2.75 inches (embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots)

Homemade box
- Top 6 inches wide x 6.5 inches high (scored at 1 inch all the way around)
- Bottom 7 3/8 inches wide x 7 7/8 inches high (scored at 1.75 inches all the way around)
