The Pink Stamper Design Team 2011

The Pink Stamper has openings for 2 people on her 2011 design team. I love her blog and Youtube videos, subscribing to both, so decided to have a go at the challenge to be on the team. The challenge is to make a card, scrapbook page or other project using my favourite Cricut cartridge and the colours pink, green and brown.

I decided to make a birthday card (you can never have too many of these!) using one of my favourite cartridges - Once Upon A Princess. This cartridge is so versatile and doesn't have to just be 'princessy'. My scraps box provided most of the paper.

Recipe:

• Tall white card
• Making Memories vinyl sticker pink dot paper - cut slightly smaller than the card
• White card rectangle punched around the edge with Stampin' Up Scallop punch and inked with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Then embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder
• Bull rushes and grass (Everyday Paper Doll cartridge) cut at 7" length from green cardstock then beige cardstock
• Butterfly (Once Upon a Princess cartridge) cut at 2 1/2" from various pink paper and cardstock scraps. Parts coloured with Sakura glitter gel pens and antennae made from a piece of copper wire folded in half with brown beads on each end. Butterfly body attached to the card using foam pads
• Brown ribbon wrapped around the card and tied in a knot
• Stampin' Up happy birthday stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and small flower stamped with pink pen. Punched out using Stampin' Up window punch and edged with a pink pen. Attached to the card using foam pads
