Are you a Stampaholic?

Hi Everyone,
I am not really sure why once you become a crafter, you are also a collector, the more I have the more I collect.
I am a stampaholic and very proud of it as well. I love stamps, from rubber,clear,and digital brushes also known as digital stamps..
Do you ever wish you could find the itty bitty stamps that fit your needs when you are creating?
Wish no more, Robyn aka the Pinkstamper has introduced a new line of itty bitty stamps sentiments to fit the bill. Whether you are a scrapbooker, or stamper these stamps will fit nicely in your collection..
1. What makes those stamps different?
They are made with the finest polymer. You can tell about the quality of the stamps in the details, they  are very sharp, and are carved high enough to create a very clean image.
2.These stamps goes perfectly with several Provo Craft Cricut Cartridges, if you don’t use a Die cut machine that’s ok, the stamps are quite versatile.
Here are a few cards I’ve created using several of the lines of stamps.

Supplies used:
Mypinkstamper line stamps, staz on, Provo Craft Cricut Cartridge Martha Stewart Elegant Cake, Cricut Expression machine, Coredination black magic and glitter paper, Colorbok fluid chalk,Mambi rhinestones, GCD Melody Ross pattern papers.

I use the family & Friends line on this lay out, here are more details.

Here are 3 cards I have created,

Pros:
The stamps are very well made, sharp details, they cling beautifully even after several washing, they don’t stain like other clear stamps on the market.
The packaging instead of a sheet over the stamp, the overlay is like an envelope very easy to keep the stamps in one place..Each line has at least 25 sentiments, which is a bargain..

Cons:
Since this is a new company there is not a wide selection, Robyn will be coming out with more stamps.
Would like to see even smaller sizes.

You can see more of the stamps in action HERE for more inspiration..
Here are the lines I worked with.

GYPSY - Wine Bottle Wrappers

Hello Everyone! Wow! Thanksgiving is only a week away! Are you ready? This is Tammy and I'm working on it and want to share a project that I made to use as favors for my Thanksgiving dinner guests!  We chose a local wine to serve at our Thanksgiving dinner and bought extra bottles to send home with our dinner guests as a way of saying, 'Thank You' for coming.  I didn't want to cover up the label on the bottles should they like it and want to purchase more in the future.  So, I came up with a wine bottle wrapper that ties onto the bottle with a beautiful ribbon and can be removed for consumption (like my big word? lol!) and to keep as a souvenir of the evening.   



I used the TAGS, BAGS, BOXES & MORE and WILD CARD cricut cartridges.  Using my GYPSY, I was able to re-size the tag to fit around my wine bottle perfectly and layer the frame and sentiment to fit.  I then cut them out with my cricut expression.  See the video below for step-by-step instructions on designing this project on the GYPSY.  You will learn how to (1) re-size images unporportionately, (2) use the new multiple page feature and (3) add an informational page to each of your projects in the GYPSY.



Click HERE if you cannot see the video above.

The WILD CARD cartridge has some awesome features and they can be used for more than just making cards!  Below is the HAPPY THANKSGIVING that I used and there are sentiments for almost every holiday and/or event you would encounter.



But my personal favorite feature of WILD CARD is the frames!  Love, love, love all the frame choices!  I couldn't pick just one, so I alternated these three...



Viola!  My wine bottle wrappers are now ready!






I also love using the wider ribbons and this one was perfect for my project.  Really adds a special touch to my place settings on my Thanksgiving dinner table.



Hope you liked my wine bottle wrappers, I know my dinner guests will!  I also hope that you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Holiday!

PINK JOURNEY: Cutting Magnet Material for a Pink Ribbon Magnet

 Hi Everyone!

The month of October we will be featuring Pink Journey in Honor of Breast Cancer month.
Leave a comment on this post and other events for a chance to win the Pink Journey Cartridge.

This is Tammy and I am excited to show you my Pink Ribbon Magnet project made with the
  PINK JOURNEY cricut cartridge.




I made these for some friends who are walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-day Walk for a Cure. It takes a special person to make that walk and I personally appreciate what they are doing! While this project is easy, it really helps to have some handy tips that will make the process even easier. I not only show you how to cut magnet material, but I demonstrate it with the 'baby bug' both using the Gypsy and not using the Gypsy. You will also learn how to use the TEMPLATE feature in the Gypsy (love that one!) .

I have broken it up into parts:

Part 1: How to layer vinyl on top of the magnet material without leaving air bubbles




Click HERE if you don't see the video.

Part 2: Using the Gypsy with the original Cricut




Click HERE if you don't see the video

Part 3: Using the TEMPLATE feature of the Gypsy to cut sentiments for ribbon magnet.




Click HERE if you don't see the video

I love this project. So simple to do, but so appreciated!



This is the one I made for my MIL, Edith. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago and is now a Breast Cancer Survivor! (love you mom!). 



Well, I hope that you found my post today inspiring. Like I said in the first video, there is a ribbon image located on the STAND & SALUTE cartridge if you do not own the PINK JOURNEY yet. And don't forget about all the other 'awareness' ribbons... each color can represent many different things, click HERE to see a listing of all the colors and their meanings.

Scrappingly yours,

Gypsy Review - Opening a Saved Folder, etc.

Hi Everyone!

This is Robyn, the Pink Stamper, and I have just got to tell you how much fun I am having with my new Gypsy!! This AWESOME machine has exceeded my expectations.

Here is a quick video I made showing how to use a file that you have saved on your Gypsy. If you are on the go and have created something with your "G", it is super easy to open it & cut it once at home or wherever you craft!



Hope you all have a TERRIFIC week!!!
Robyn

Provo Craft Cricut Cartridge Review: Pink Journey Cricut and Video

This is Joy!
I'm here to introduce you to the new Pink Journey cartridge by Provocraft for the Cricut. This cartridge is a solutions cartridge, with 50 images that also include various shadows and blackout layers to enhance them.



Pink Journey is currently only available as part of a special Expression bundle sold at Michaels that includes a brand new, pink Expression machine, as well as the Pink Journey, Plantin Schoolbook and Accent Essentials cartridges.

For each machine purchased, fifty dollars will be donated to the Susan B. Komen foundation for breast cancer research. The word art included in the cartridge would be just perfect for a poster, supporting your favorite runner in Race for the Cure: Believe, Live, Love, Fight, Walk, Run, Pink, Hope, Courage, Believe, Survivor, Celebrate Courage, Wear Pink, My Story, Breast Cancer, Remember, Race for the Cure.

In addition, there are also many gorgeous elements: butterfly, heart, swirls, flowers, sneakers, birds, women, tags, card, envelope, box, and present (see below for details):



I made a quick video showing how to make the cute little butterfly box! It would make a wonderful party favor for a wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, spring party, women's luncheon - it's just too darn cute! I found when cutting a tag to go with it, that I liked the shadowed portion of the tag to be cut 1/4" larger than the tag itself as I thought the shadow part needed more outline showing. But that is purely a personal preference! Enjoy the video!

Leave us a comment to let us know if you would like Provo Craft to make this Cartridge available after the Breast Cancer promotion is over?

Have a great day,
Joy!
