The sentiment on this little card is from the Pink By Design Kitchen Puns stamp set. I just think it's perfect for this little Jack-in-the-Box image I got from the Lettering Delights Let's Play SVG set. I embossed the bluish-green paper with my Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder, added some ink, doodling, and ribbon, and my little card was all done! I hope you like it!

Oh, and by the way, I have a couple of AMAZING giveaways for you.  Two lucky followers will win either a $10 gift certificate to Pink By Design (my last one to give away) or the PBD Cloudy Day Background Stamp.

A Giga and a Byte and a Giveaway

Happy Monday, everyone!  I'm sitting here at my local public library taking advantage of their wonderful free wireless Internet access so I can share a project with you today.  I can't wait to get access at my new house!!!  I'm going through withdrawals!  Anyway, I have a card that's perfect for that special techno-savy person in your life (who hopefully has Internet access at his house).  Here it is:

This little shape card features two Pink By Design Stamp sets: LOL and Gigabyte.  Don't you just love the sentiment and images?  So cute!

I got the Sweet little computer from the Lettering Delights Programmed for Love SVG set.  I just LOVE her!  Here's a little tip if you're using SVGs or your gypsy...you can weld the shadow layer for an image to a rounded rectangle to create a card base with room for stamping that can easily stand up.  That's how I got my card base.

I added some Stickles and a few doodles, and my little card was all done.  I hope you like it!

Now, in honor of Pink By Design's anniversary, I have an awesome giveaway for you!  I have a $10 gift certificate that I'm giving away to Pink By Design's store.  YAY!  Here's what you need to do to be elligible to win:

Sew, What's New

Hey, everyone!  Today is my Pink By Design DT day, and I have a card and some firsts to share with you. This card is my FIRST attempt at using a background stamp, my FIRST attempt at using an image stamp, and my FIRST Cricut-less card! Whew! It came together pretty easily, though. That's always a plus, especially since half of my crafty stuff is sitting in boxes right now. :o(

When I started planning this card, I knew I wanted to try to go Cricut-less, and I knew which stamps I wanted to use, but I didn't know where to begin. So, I checked out some sketches I had saved on my computer until I found one I thought would fit the card I wanted to create. Here's the one I chose:

And, here's the card I made:

For this card, I used Pink By Design's Sewing Background Stamp for the yellow background, then I inked up the edges with a little distress ink. The sewing machine came from Pink By Design's Sew Lovely stamp set, and the sentiment came from Pink By Design's Material Girl. I also added a little distress ink to the cardstock I stamped the image on. A scalloped border punch and a few buttons later, and my Cricut-less card was all done! I hope you like it!

Oh, and I have a WONDERFUL surprise!  I have two $10 gift certificates to Pink By Design to give away today!  YAY!  Here's what you need to do to be elligible to win:

1.  Be a follower of my blog.

2.  Do TWO of the following:

     a.  Be a follower of the Pink By Design Blog.

     b.  Be a fan of the Pink By Design Facebook Page.

     c.  Join the Pink By Design Community and POST there somewhere.  Please leave me a link to your post if you choose this as an option.  There're so many great projects, prizes, and challenges there!  You should check it out!

Make sure to leave me a comment telling me that you're a follower of my blog and what two PBD options you chose.  Oh, and don't forget to leave your e-mail address!  Good luck!  I'll randomly choose two winners later this week.

Fantabulous Cricut Crawl: Spring Fling

Welcome to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and the fifth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop! 

It's Spring Time, even though some places may not look like it :) and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to have a Spring Fling!   Each Design Team member will be featuring an original Spring project that includes Pink, Green and Yellow on it along with at least one Cricut cut.

If you've come from visiting Lisa C. at My Lil' Bits, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Spring Fling" project at FCCB!

How fun is that?

I had so much fun creating my project for the crawl.  Here's what I came up with:

This little cutie is an A2 sized card.  All of the cuts came from Straight From the Nest, but my settings were wrong on my Cricut, or some of the pieces were too tiny, or something, so I had to rearrange and add to some of the flowers.  I think it still turned out to be so cute!  I added ribbon, buttons, a prima flower, brads, lots of ink, and a stamp from Hero Arts, and my little card was all done!  I hope you like it!

Okay, how about some Cricut Crawl CANDY???

I'm giving away a little collection of springy crafting goodness:  a set of ten 5x5" white cards with envelopes, a Floral Fantasy Cuttlebug embossing folder, some star brads, and some springy stickers.  If you'd like the chance to win these goodies, here's what you need to do:

1.  Become a follower and leave a comment letting me know. Or, let me know you're already a follower.    Please don't forget to include your e-mail address.

That's all you have to do to have a chance to win!  But, if you want extra chances, here's what you can do:

2.  For an extra entry, LIKE my Facebook page and leave another comment telling me you did so. You can click LIKE on my left sidebar or follow the link.  Don't forget to leave your e-mail address in your comment.

3.  For another extra entry, post this giveaway on your blog and leave another comment with a link back to the post.  Also, don't forget your e-mail address.

That's it.  Please...only US mailing addresses.  I'll randomly choose a winner on Friday, April 15.    

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Spring Fling projects!  Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project and the colors PINK, GREEN, and YELLOW!

Next stop...Maquel's blog, Paper Maine-iac. Go see what she has in store for you today... And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!
