My Pink Stamper's DT Post May: Father's Day / Man Project

Welcome to our May Design Team Post for My Pink Stamper.
I chose to make a Daddy's birthday card for this project.  My husband's birthday was on the 14th, so it just worked out.
I love, love, love these new stamp sets.  On this card I used a new release set and a set that is a little older.  You can check out all of  Robyn's stamps & vendors HERE.  You can also check out the Gallery on Robyn's blog to get more inspiration for all of her stamp sets.

Details:
I used my Gypsy and my Cricut to design & create this card.
A Child's Year Cricut Cart. for the daddy & girl & the daddy & boy
MPS Stamps Spectacular Sayings (Happy Birthday) & Sweet Baby (Daddy)
To get the Daddy:  the stamp said "Daddy's Sweet", I put a piece of tape over the letters that I did not want to stamp, inked the stamp & removed the tape, then stamped Daddy.
I inked the edges of the cards & all pieces.

Projects Coming!!

I have plenty of projects coming to my blog that I have been working on.  I have been busy crafting, but not much time to get them posted.  Some I have not had a chance to photograph either before they were given out - boo!  But I will be posting some projects that I have been doing.  I'm not MIA from the crafting or blog world, just the posting world.  I hope to get a lot of it ready to be posted this weekend.  I have plenty of cards that were made using the My Pink Stamper Stamp Sets and my Cricut.  I've also been working on some wall letters that my friends have asked for - for teachers' gifts.  Like I said - busy, busy, busy crafting.  It's been good.

My Pink Stamper April Design Team Post

Welcome to our My Pink Stamper April Design Team Posts.  I have to say again how proud I am to be a part of this great & very talented design team.  Robyn's stamps are the best to work with.  They are all so cute & stamp so well.  This month our challenge was to make favors of any kind.  I made these for my nephews we we have our big family Easter celebration.

This was a very simple project, but I love how they turned out.  When making favors I tend to do them fairly simple.  As much as it pains me (LOL), the kids just rip them apart to get to the candy.   I filled some cello bags with candy & made some really cute bag toppers.

March My Pink Stamper's Design Team Post

OK, so this month our challenge is to do a scrapbook page.  This is truly a challenge for me.  You all can look through my blog to see how many lay outs I have previously done.  NONE!!!  I have made a 12x12 frame once, but that was it.  Then to add stamps to a lay out!!?  Robyn makes everything look so easy!!
So I made this layout using a picture of my kids that my mom had.  I loved the black & white photo set on the brown tone card stock.  This pic is about 6yrs old (4 & 8 - now 10 & 14).  When I saw this pic & was going through my MPS Stamps, I found the perfect sentiment stamp for this pic in the More Faithful Sayings Set.  (It's hard to get pics of my kids actually looking like they love each other - LOL)

Since I don't scrapbook I painted & distressed a 12x12 canvas & adhered my lay out to the canvas.  It was funny b/c my mom didn't want me to take her photo.  She wanted to keep it in the frame that she had it in.  When I showed her the finished project she asked if she could keep it.  LOL - that was my plan all along!!!
Closeup of pic & stamp:

The following pics are closeups of the flowers with a characteristic that we want to instill in our children.  All of these characteristics also came from the More Faithful Sayings Stamp Set.
True:  We want to instill truth & always want our children to be true.



 Knowledge:  We want to instill the knowledge of right & wrong & of course for them to embrace the opportunities for education that they have.

 Grateful:  We always want them to grateful & appreciative for everything that they have.

 Integrity:  We want them to have all of the moral & ethical principles that they should have to be honest & sincere.

 Humble:  We always want our kids to be humble in everything they do.

Details:
The polka dotted scalloped oval in the background is from the Imagine stock images & colored with the Imagine More Cart.
Flowers are from the Accent Essential Cart.
I tore & distressed all of the edges.  I used distress inks & gold paint.
For the canvas, I painted it with brown paint.  I used Crackle medium then painted with antique white paint.  I then used several colors of distress ink, walnut stains, brown paint, antique white paint, & gold paint.

This month our challenge was to make any type of project that was Spring Themed & to use any of Robyn's stamps (new or old).  Well to me nothing says Spring more than Easter.  So I made this tag to use on an Easter present.
I just love the patterns on the Nursery Tails Cart and I just fell in love with these butterflies & dragonfly.

Details:
Imagine
Nursery Tails for everything:  Tag (pg. 22), Pattern (pg. 36), butterflies & dragonfly (pg. 21)
I inked all of the pieces with distress in.  I also used distress in for the stamp.
I added Frosted Lace Stickles to the bodies of the butterflies & dragonfly.
I love dimension, so I cut the butterflies & dragonfly twice.  I layered then adhering nly the bodies, leaving the wings to fly.
Stamp:  My Pink Stamper's Happiest Moments Set.
