My Pink Stamper Blog Hop!

If you started this blog hop on My Pink Stamper, you're on your way! If you came here first, please hop on over there in order to participate!!

Hey everyone! My name is Shauna and I'm a My Pink Stamper Design Team Member! I'm a 32 year old Preacher's wife and stepmother from Louisiana(originally from Boston). Our family just hit the one year mark! During the day, I take care of a precious 6 month old baby who belongs to one of our church families (7am-5pm, Monday-Friday) and I teach piano lessons and knit as well. I love anything that lets me express my creativity! The strange part is no one can figure out who gave me these creative genes.

I couldn't be more surprised, excited(and nervous, LOL!) to be a part of the My Pink Stamper Design Team. I am new to the Cricut, but have a real passion for it already.  I hope to give you some ideas and can't wait to see what you all create along with us!! Woo hoo!!

Well Wishes Card (click the picture to make it bigger):


Materials:

My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments Stamp Set
Straight from the Nest Cricut Cartridge
Lacy Labels Cricut Cartridge
Cardstock
Decorative Paper
X-ACTO scissors
White gel pen
Stickles
Ribbon
Foam Pop-Up squares
Double-sided adhesive

~Cut the card to 6" x 8-1/2" and fold in half.
~Cut the striped paper 2" x 6" and the pink strip of paper to 1" x 6". I used X-ACTO scissors from   Wal-Mart for the wavy border. 
~Cut 3, 4" Trees from the Straight From the Nest Cricut Cartridge. I used three different decorative papers for the tree tops and brown for the branches/trunks.
~Cut 1,  2" Asian label from Lacy Labels Cartridge.
~Assemble the trees and embellish with white gel pen.
~Affix the striped paper, pink paper and ribbon to the card.
~Next, with the foam squares, affix the left and right trees to the card.
~Place the center tree on top of the other two trees in the center of the card.
~I had to use two foam squares for the bottom of the center tree so the trunk would be adhered to the card since this is double-layered.
~Embellish the label with the white gel pen and stamp "Well Wishes" onto label with white ink. Affix to card.
~Lastly, I used Stickles on the top part of the center tree for a little bling and lined the inside of the card with blue paper so a message can be easily written.

That's it and I hope you like it. Have a fun night!!

Key Word: OR


Your next stop in the hop is Andrea!!

Your cards are great! The card you entered into the competition was wonderful. I have that cart and never used the rooster, but after seeing your idea I cut out the rooster, took it to work and place on the Bulletin Board where I post accomplishments of our office with the title, "something to crow about". It looks wonderful. Thank you for the great idea!
