Valentine's Day Cards

2012-02-14T20:39:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone!
Here's a couple of cards that I made. One was from last year's My Pink Stamper Valentine's Day post and the other one is one that I made for this year. I tried a different color scheme then I did last year. My favorite is the pink and green from last year...maybe because they are two of my favorite colors!! LOL I do like the one that I made from this year, with the different colors, it could be used for a anniversary card too. :0) To see a video description of how I made this card, please click on the link below:

Valentine's Day and Thank U Cards

2012-01-29T19:02:00.001-08:00

Hi Everyone! Here's a couple of cards that I made using the Birthday Bash and the April Showers Cricut Cartridge. I tried something fun which was to show how you can have two cuts that were exactly the same, but how you can change it up with different colored card stock. Here's the two examples below:

Happy Belated Birthday

2012-01-26T13:31:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone! Here's a card that I made for Robyn My Pink Stamper's Birthday. I was a little late in getting this out so I used the Happy Belated Birthday sentiment from Fabulous Phrases. I really love that set because you can wrap the wording around and make it look so neat! :0) In this case I used it to wrap around the base of the circle. The card base was from the Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge and the bee (I put that on a Action Wobble) is from the Create a Critter.

Friendship Card

2012-01-19T17:26:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone! Here's a card that I made using My Pink Stamper Fabulous Phrases, Birthday Bash and Love You A Latte Cricut Cartridges. I used the Birthday Bash card feature and the cute cupcake image from Love You A Latte. The cute cupcake embossing on the background was from Once Upon A Princess for the Cuttlebug.

2012-01-15T22:01:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone! Here's a card that I made using the Wrap It Up and the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridges for my niece who is having a baby boy! I am going to be a Great Aunt for the second time! I added a few extras like the flowers, brads and rhinestone to take it up a notch! :0) The sentiment is from the tiny stickers that I got when I was in Europe visiting my Grandmother.

Lip Balm Bags With My Pink Stamper Sentiment

2012-01-08T15:17:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone! I saw this television show called the Chew around Christmas time and it talked about making homemade lip balm. I thought that would be a really fun idea so I tried to make some on my own. I got the recipe from Youtube and all the ingredients from Ebay. It took me about 10 minutes to make. It was so quick and I just love it. The only thing different that I added was to double the essential oil. If you wanted to have it as cuticle cream I wouldn't add the agave nectar, but if you wanted it for lip balm I would add two teaspoons of agave nectar. To watch a video on how to make the lip balm, please click on the link below:
http://youtu.be/YHEUC-m5wPQ

I use the Bags, Tags, Boxes and More on page 116 cut at 6.5 inches with the blackout feature enabled. The tag was cut at 1.5 inches on page 91. To see a video on how I made the Lip Balm Bags, please click on the link below:

My Pink Stamper November Design Team Post

2011-11-22T06:00:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone! This month for the design team post we got to do something super fun and creative which was to make a unique card fold. I choose do do a Tri-Fold. So many times, I just use the standard landscape fold. When I am really feel like "spicing" it up I will do a portrait card rather then landscape. I know, crazy right?!! LOL

For my card, I used the Paper Dolls Dress Up for the fence cut at 1.51 inches x 5.71 inches on my Gypsy and Create a Critter for the grass cut at 1.25 inches. The flower are from Sweet Treats cut at 1.54 for the small and 2.0 for the large. The darling sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Flowers and Friendship Stamp Set. To make the Tri-Fold Card start with a 4 1/2 inch card by a 8 1/2 inch card and score at 1 1/8 and 6 3/8.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! :0)

My Pink Stamper Design Team Post

2011-10-25T08:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! This month's design team post was to make a Christmas/Holiday card. I used the My Pink Stamper, Biggie Christmas Stamp Set. The Cricut Cartridge that I used was Winter Frolic. I cut the snowmen out at 3.5 inches and the banner cut out at 1 inch. I added a glitter heart and rhinestone that I purchased from Michael's and the sequins ribbon was purchased from Joann's. A couple tips is to always check out the ribbon at Joann's. They have the most incredible rhinestone/glitter section. The ribbon that I used was from the Little Mermaid collection. I just love it!! :0) Another tip is if you don't want to cut out the smaller features with the Cricut and glue them on, you can use a marker instead. You can take a look at the cheeks on the snowman to see how I colored them in. Make sure and head on over to Robyn's at My Pink Stamper to play along with the design team for the Christmas/Holiday Card Challenge! XOXO

Sympathy Card with My Pink Stamper Stamp :0)

2011-09-21T11:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! Sadly, I had to make a sympathy card for my co-worker who lost his mom this past Monday night. She was a very special woman who touched a lot of lives and I had the pleasure of knowing her. We will be celebrating her life on Monday. I know she is in a much better place free of any pain and I will see her again someday. I used the Gypsy Wanderings and cut the trees out at 2.75, 2.5, and 2 inches. The bird was cut out at 1 inch. The mound of leaves and grass were cut out from DCWV Indian Fall Stack to make it look like a hillside. The stamped sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Fabulous Phrases.

Before I left for our trip I made a few cards for a gal that reached out to My Pink Stamper about making cards for women that are battling breast cancer. They will be passed out during a breakfast for the gals. Here's the link that Robyn at My Pink Stamper put together to learn more:

It's hard to believe how fast the time flies. I remember being there when she was born!! I used the Create A Critter Cartridge and welded to scalloped circles together to make the card on my gypsy. I am sorry, but I forgot where the scalloped circles were from. I think it was Forever Young, but I forgot to write that down. I used the My Pink Stamper Sweetest Cupcakes for the sentiment.

Hi Everyone!!

Thank you for so much for hopping along!!! If you came to my blog first, please click on this link to start at the beginning. We are asked to do a little introduction and make a project that represents our own personal style. I think my personal style is bright, fun, and cutesy.

A little about me. :0) I live in Gig Harbor, WA and have 4 children ages 20, 19 and two at 18. I just turned 40 this July and can hardly believe it!! I am married to a wonderful man who supports my Cricut habit. He’s my biggest cheerleader!!

A little known fact about me is that when I got my Cricut 3 plus years ago (I say “plus” because I’m 40 remember…my memory is going!! LOL) my Cricut sat on the shelf for an entire year!!! I know GASP!! Can you believe it?!! I can hardly utter those words now, but thankfully I am writing them!! LOL I am definitely a visual learner so I searched the internet and who did I find?? Robyn, My Pink Stamper. She has been such an inspiration to me and I am so excited to be on her design team!!! Together with Maria (head designer for My Pink Stamper) they are a dynamic duo!! :0)

I made a house out of the Sweet Tooth Cricut Cartridge and My Pink Stamper Yummy-Licious Stamp Set. The house was cut at 9.5 inches and added some buttons, self adhesive ribbon and a flower to give this home a special touch. To see a video of how I made this box, please click on the link below:

Halloween House and Cupcake Holder

2011-08-08T06:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! My Pink Stamper just released 7 new stamp sets this past Friday. To get a peek at them all, please click here. I just purchased the new Sweet Tooth Boxes just to use with her new stamp sets. Here's a picture of a Halloween House that I made. I cut it out at 10 inches. I love the cute Spook-alicious Stamp Set along with the darling little spider that she added to this set. Can you see the little spiders that are stamped onto the flower?? So cute!!!

Here's a picture of the same stamp set Spook-alicious but using the Happy Halloween stamp. I am so pleased with how this turned out. :0)

This is also cut from the Sweet Tooth Boxes Cricut Cartridge cut at 9.5 inches. I also used Wrap It Up for the tag cut at 1.25 inches. I used the Sweet Goodness My Pink Stamper Stamp Set. What a cute idea that you can cut this big enough to fit an actual cupcake and then stamp a sweet message on the outside! :0)

I have quite a few more posting this week, so be sure to check back!! Thank you!!

Cricut Cardz Challange Monogramed Card

2011-07-20T06:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!! It's Cricut Cardz Challenge time!! :0) This week the challenge is to make something with a monogram on it. I used the American Alphabet that comes preloaded on the E2. The tree was cut at 3 inches and the monogram was cut at 1.25 inches. The flower that goes behind the "J" was cut at 1.50 inches. I didn't give the American Alphabet much attention to originally when I got my E2, but then I realized that there are some REALLY CUTE cut outs on there!! So you will be seeing more of those for sure. I used K and Co self adhesive paper ribbon(top and bottom of the card) and decorative pins(plastic flowers and bird) to give this card a little something extra special.

Head on over to Cricut Cardz Challenge and come play along with us this challenge!!

4th of July Treat Bag

2011-06-30T17:03:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I thought it would be fun to share with you a treat bag that I am making for the 4th of July. I saw something like this in a Martha Stewart http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifMagazine and the blue represents the stars. In the magazine they used chocolate covered blueberries, but I couldn't find any so I decided to use these individually wrapped chocolates instead. Basically, you can use anything blue for the star portion. For the red and white stripes I used candy sticks that I purchased at my local candy store. I found the bags from Michael's in the candy section. They are used for chocolate covered pretzels, but they worked perfectly for this. I used the Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge for the tag cut at 3 inches and the Wild Card Cartridge for the fireworks. The adorable stamp set is from My Pink Stamper called Freedom Rocks. To see a video on how to make the treat bags, please click on the link below:

My Pink Stamper May Design Team Post Plus Giveaway!!

2011-05-24T06:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week. This month's design team theme was Father's Day/Man. I thought it would be really fun to make a card that reminded me of Dad which was a hamburger from Simply Charmed cut at 2 inches and Freedom Rocks Stamp Set from My Pink Stamper. The stamp set is so versatile, it can definitely be used with someone in the military, but it can also be used for so much more.

I also made the CUTEST "hamburger and fries" that I saw on the internet that are cookies. They are made out of sugar cookies, frosting and chocolate chips. Here's the recipe below:
http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/143668/Mini-Dessert-Burgers/detail.aspx
The only difference is that instead of the vanilla wafers, I used a store bought sugar cookie. :0)

To make the container from Tags, Bags, Boxes(fry box cut at 4 inches) and More and Sweet Treats Cupcake Holder cut at 5 1.2 inches. Shield on the container is from Create a Critter on page 35 cut at 4 inches. The tray is something that I picked up on the paper isle at my local grocery store.

The tissue paper was white and then I stamped it in yellow, blue and red with the "Your My Hero" stamp from Freedom Rocks. Here's a photo of the stamped tissue paper:
Here's a photo of the "hamburger and the fries"

Prayers and Cards for Krafty Katsy Needed

2011-05-15T16:01:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

It is with sad news that I write today to tell you that Krafty Katsy from Youtube has had a recurrence of cancer. She really needs our prayers and encouragement. I thought it would also be a great idea if we could also make her some get well cards for her. Kat has been through so much battling Leukemia and that has been going well, but unfortunately an old cancer has returned. I think she would really be happy and it would cheer her heart to receive cards from all of us. She is such a positive person and is really trying to be strong. I know your prayers mean the world to her. I would like to put together a box of our cards for Kat weekly so that she stays encouraged from all of us and remind her that we are thinking and praying for her.

This is the card that I made for Kat. I used Create a Critter and My Pink Stamper Biggie Punnies.

If you are interested in sending in a card for Kat, please email me at readysetstamp@yahoo.com and I will get you the address to send the cards to. Have a wonderful rest of your day! XOXO

Faber-Castell Mix & Match Media Sampler Plus TWO Giveaways!!!

2011-04-25T22:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I was contacted to do a review on Faber-Castell Mix & Match Media Sampler which I think are some amazing products. I have details plus a card and video below. They were so kind to want you to also share in the experience, they offered to give away some to two of my viewers!! All you need to do is leave a comment under this post as to which one was your favorite out of the ones that I showed on the video. You do not need to subscribe to win. I will have the drawing on Sunday and post by Monday. Enjoy!!

Mix & Match from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft makes designing with color simple. Choose a color set that inspires you. Choose a medium. Mix & Match as you create. Color coordinated palettes give you the freedom to design your project knowing the colors will work beautifully together. Perfect for all your design, memory and craft projects.

Mixed Media Sampler Sets in Red, Yellow, Blue and Green encourage you to spread your creative wings and experiment with mixing mediums! Each set includes a Stamper’s Big Brush, Gelato Metallic Stick, Pastel Pencil and Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor pencil. Experiment with mixing colors and mediums or layer different mediums to create depth and details. Or try using your rubber stamps with the different mediums to see which effects you like the most.

Color Gelatos are creamy sticks infused with brilliant color. The color slides easily onto papers and can then be dissolved with water to create watercolor effects, or left to dry for vibrant bursts of color. Try stamping with the Color Gelatos, or apply a field of color and use a stamp to remove the color. Color Gelatos work wonderfully on flocked papers and embellishments too! Color Gelatos are acid-free and odorless.

Here's a card that I made using the Mix & Match Media Sampler Plus:

The cute stamp is from My Pink Stamper Everyday Life. To see a video of the review and how to make this card, please click on the link below:

I haven't had a baby stay the night in a LONG time! I can't remember the last time. We had such a blast. Today we had everyone over for an Easter brunch. It was great to have everyone over, play games and get to visit. I made a Easter Bunny Purse a while back and forgot to post it. This was made with the Forever Young and Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. I also used the My Pink Stamper Everyday Occasions Stamp Set. I added some pearls and bling to make it really stand out. I hope everyone is having a very special Easter filled with lots of love and cherished memories!! May God Bless you all!! XOXO, Julie. :0)

SWAK Kiss Card

2011-04-02T13:04:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! Today is my anniversary so I thought I would make a super cute card for my hubby. I used the Indie Art Cricut Cartridge that was part of the free download with my Gypsy. Then I used Birthday Bash for the font and shaped it around the circle part of the card and welded it. I also used the Wrap It Up Cricut Cartridge for the shape of the card. Didn't the lips turn out so cute? They are also on an Action Wobble to make it interactive. I love that they have all the little pucker lines in them. I added the holographic paper in the back ground to give it a little something special. Enjoy! XOXO, Julie. :0)

Cricut Cardz Challange-House Card!!

2011-03-30T05:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!! Are you ready for a super fun new challenge? This week over at Cricut Cardz Challenge our new theme is to make a card with a house and something that includes lace. I used the Downtown Stack from DCWV. I really love that stack, especially for men. The stamp that I used is from My Pink Stamper More Faithful Savings. The little black squares on the side are from the inside on the windows. I have some brads that are just like that, but I liked the idea of using something that was already cut out from the card. Head on over to Cricut Cardz Challenge and come join in on the fun!!

It's so cold here in Washington State that I love the idea of something spring!! For my project I used Wrap it up for the adorable white picket frame box(cut at 11 inches). Isn't it perfect for Easter??!! I could see it also for someone moving into a new home. :0) Any hoo, I digress...lol the adorable little girl is from Kate's ABC's(cut at 3 1/2 inches). I added some rhinestones to add some flair to the card. I can't remember which cartridge I cut the tag from...I'm thinking Wrap it up, but it could have been Tags, Bags, Boxes and more. :0) Sorry that I didn't write that down. I put tulle and pastel colored Junior Mints inside the basket. The Happy Easter sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Happiest Moments Stamp Set. I love that set!! It's got all the holidays wrapped up in one!! :0)
