This is why I had so many pink smarties on my desk!  This cute little paint can came from Hobbycraft and stands at 3" tall.

For this challenge I have made a Stair Step card.  I have used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch and flower paper from Rosie's, Spellbinder scalloped and plain circles and the EZ Cut butterfly die. You can see a tutorial on how to make this card by clicking here.

We look forward to seeing all your 'think pink' designs. For this challenge we are offering you the chance to receive these beautiful handmade mulberry paper roses together with two different types of natural lace.

You have two weeks from today to join in with our 'think pink' challenge. Please add a link to your design using Mr Linky or email us with a picture attached.

Charo has made this beautiful centre piece using  garden foam.  She put leaves around the outside then pink flowers from her garden into the centre.

How lovely are those flowers!

Georgina has used lovely buttons and flowers from Stampin Up on her gorgeous girly pink card.

 

We look forward to seeing all your fabulous creations.

EVEN MORE CUTENESS!

I have had some treat cups from Stampin Up for sometime and have been on the look out for ideas of what to use them for.

I came across this fabulous idea by Michele Reynolds at Inspiration Ink, aren't they cute!!

Below is my version, I had quite a lot of pink smarties to hand (more about those will be revealed soon !!), so added them.  These are great fun to make and would be cute gifts to give at children's parties.

Edited to add:

Taking inspiration from Deann Oliver's spider card I made the treat cup one below and have added pictures and instructions on how I made it.  Please click on the Treat Cup Spider page.

CUTE CONTINUED...

Patchwork and teapots, two of my favourite things. So when I saw these cute patchwork teapots Geny Cassady had made I just had to try some myself!

I made this cute card for my daughters class to give to their student teacher as she is leaving at the end of term.  I used magnolia tilda stamps and spellbinders rectangles and tags.

A cute image, a cute size/shaped card, a cute gift, cute embellishments etc etc. I think you get the picture! Speaking of pictures, below are piccies of our cute creations.

This is a Baby Teepee card. It has three sides and you can open it to write your message inside. I have taken photos of each side view so you can see what it looks like. I have used Spellbinders plain and scalloped circles and punched flowers with rhinestones in the centre of them.

Mandy

As you can probably tell I am a little addicted to these very cute Jar images at the moment. After making the tags I just had to carry on and make a matching card....and some yummie cookies!

Charo has cut the bottom off a pair of her 2 month old son's jeans to create this very cute little bag. Ideal for keys, cell phone and purse...what a fab idea!

GIFT BOXES

Mandy your gift tags look amazing...........

I thought I would show you my latest creation using the Crafters Companion Top Score Multiboard which I have just bought.

I have used blue cardstock and decorated with the Spellbinders plain and scalloped heart dies. They would be the perfect gift with lollies in them.
