My Pink Stamper Design Team Call

My Pink Stamper is having a Design Team Call and I am very excited! She is so amazing and creative. It would be an honor to be in her design team.

In order to be considered to be in her Design Team, you are to complete a challenge...

Challenge:  Make a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite Cricut cartridge using the following colors......

Orange

Turquoise 

Green

Brown

(other optional color of your choice) I used Pink as my other color of course :)

I created a Tri-Shutter card because I really enjoy making these. I always watch this amazing video to get the cuts of the card.

Recipe:

Paper: Poteeka Souffle from the Paper Studio

Cartridges used: Hannah Montana (small butterfly cut at 1 3/4 inches and large butterfly cut at 2 1/2)

3 Birds on Parade (Best Wishes cut at 2 inches)

Pop dots were used to pop up the butterflies and the sentiment

PINK!

Guess what I got to buy last week! A PINK Cricut Expression! I have been wanting one ever since I saw it! I just love it when the buttons light up and are PINK! I finally found it for less than $200 at Micheals, so I had to buy it. It’s so pretty that I don’t even want to use it. :)

My pink end caps also came in for my Imagine. I love it because they are a hot pink. My favorite!

It's a Wrap Blog Hop

Welcome to the second to last stop in It’s a Wrap Blog Hop hosted by Cool Beans By L.B. I first want to wish her a Happy 1 Year with her blog!!! She has created such wonderful projects this whole year.

You should have arrived here from, Robin, The Scrappin' Delta Diva, a fellow Texas Circle Sister. If you are just finding our hop in the middle you can go to the beginning at Cool Beans By L.B.

I hope that you have enjoyed looking at different ways of giving/wrapping gifts. For some reason I have found it hard to buy gifts for people, so I just started giving gift cards. I use to buy those really expensive cards that hold the gift card, until I saw a few youtube videos and realized that I can make my own gift card holders. I found two different videos and made these gift card holders. Enjoy!

I first made a Pop Up Gift Card Holder and I found this great video that explained everything step by step. It took some trial and error, but I loved the end result.

I used the Tinker Bell & Friends cartridge and I cut Tinker Bell at 4 inches. I printed out the sentiment from my computer. I also used the D'vine Swirl embossing folder to emboss the wings.

This next holder is called a Gift Card Holder and Bow Package and this is the tutorial video that I saw. This holder was so fast and easy to make. 

Cartridges used:

From My Kitchen (tab cut at 2 ½ inches)

Sugar and Spice (scallop & buggy both cut at 2 inches)

Birthday Bash (bow cut at 8 inches)

Paddle

As many of you know, I belong to a sorority called Sigma Lambda Gamma. This is where I get my blog name from (Gamma is our nickname) :) In sororities you have a big and later on you get your own little. I joined the sorority in Fall 2007 and I got my first and only little in Fall 2008. As sisters we make each other things and I have been wanting to finish this paddle for my little and I finally finished. It takes time because when you buy the materials to make the paddle everything is not colored and you have to glue everything on the paddle.

In my sorority we each have our own little family and I belong in Las Divas, so the paddle has a lot of bling.

My lighting in my room is not that great, so sorry for the bad quality pictures.

Since I made my blog way after I gave my little in my sorority her gifts, I still would like to share them with you all.

During the process of becoming a Gamma, you are told who your big is in a ceremony and you get gifts from your big. These are the gifts I gave my little during the ceremony.

Close ups of some of the gifts in her bag...

Once my little became a sister, I gave her some more gifts.I forgot to take close ups:(

Explosion Cake Box

I made this explosion box for my little in my sorority. It didn’t take me as long to make this one as it did as the first one.

Cartridges used:

Create a Critter (happy Birthday), Hannah Montana (numbers 23 & stars), Birthday Cakes ( Make a Wish), Rock Princess (Diva), and Twinkle Toes (tiara).
