For my Summer Theme I made a 4.5 X 4.5 card! I totally think of the beach fun when I think of SUMMER...so here is my FUN card! 

I used 2 different My Pink Stamper stamps to mix and match the sentiment. I stamped then embossed with white embossing powder so I am hoping you can see how wonderful Robyn's stamps look in white! I LOVE IT! To purchase your very own set of My Pink Stamper Stamps click HERE I used my white gel pen to accent the different cricut cuts and tied off with some wonderful twine, I just got in the mail from the twinery...YAY!  

Since this is my LAST official My Pink Stamper Hop, and what a privilege it has been to be on the My Pink Stamper Design Team, I decided to have a give away!  A My Pink Stamper Stampset...

I used Simply Charmed and my gypsy to add some MORE polka dots to the cake layer! Click on the photos for a close up view! I LOVE having the darker pink show through the top layer! I used My Pink Stamper's Family & Friends on the inside of the card for the happy birthday sentiment! These are fabulous stamps EVEN when using the cheaper ink pads and I LOVE that about them!

I made it for my friends the Barkers, (super fitting last name they have) who have 3 girls just adopted their very FIRST dog a poodle terrier mix. They rescued her from their local ASPCA!

I am super pleased with the card and her as for her BIG eyelashes...see the Whooo has beautiful lashes for details about them! The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's NEW line it's the Fabulous Phrase set and is a really long sentiment which I stamped then cut and mounted separately I really like all the fun things you can do with this set!

I actually got the idea from another blogger who I really wish I could remember...sorry I can not, it was one of those WOW moments that stuck in my head! I am using the My Pink Stamper Sport-Tastic set for this! LOL My family is sooo not into sports so I crack myself up finding non-sports ways to use this stamp set! Hope you enjoy this simple creation...OH AND PS I made that cute little rosebud myself! From miss Tarabeeink1 tutorial on youtube I only had to pause/rewind 3 times! give it a try! HUGS~RaechelI used my heat embossing tool and white embossing powder to get my "whoot whoot" sentiment to really POP!
I used a small Fiskars flower punch to get these adorable eyelashes!
I used ZIG two way glue over the top of the rose bud then sprinkled with glitter

From Stacy at Love that Bug:

Ok all of my blog buddies,
I need your help. I was asked to make a card for a very special 3 year old boy named Bradley. His parents took him to the doctor for an earache, than found out that he has a brain tumor. My heart hurts so bad for any lil one that has to suffer so much in their little life. He is beating the odds so far, thank Heavens.
I want to ask all of you if you can find the time to make this precious little boy a card or even just send him a lil note, to let him & his parents know they are not alone and that we care & will pray for a full recovery!
Here is his address:
Bradley Allen

Cute Froggie

This Froggie Card incorporates the card folding style I learned from a youtube tutorial by Miss Joy
Click here to watch --->Obsessedwithscrappin <--- I did however use an 8.5X11 sheet of paper for my cards. Miss Joy uses a 12X12.

For use with an 8.5X11

I cut paper at 5.5X11

I scored at 3.5 inches in from both left and right sides

Cut on diagonal to score line as in Miss Joy's video tutorial

Please leave a comment with your email address if you'd like a PDF diagram emailed to you of the 8.5X11 style.
