Jaded Blossom's November Challenge - Thanksgiving

Hello Everyone!

I have the pleasure of being the Jaded Blossom Guest Designer

for the month of November!

I feel so lucky to have this honor and even luckier that 

this is the 2nd time I have been a guest designer.

For my challenge project I used Thanksgiving Wishes, Fall dies and Spring dies.

Here's a close up, I love the detail on the leaves! It's had to tell but I added some gold and bronze ink to the leaves to give them shimmer and dimension.

Hope you all like my project and don't forget to visit Jaded Blossom 

to see the Design Teams and link up your own project!

SVG Cutting Files Guest Designer - Owl Valentines

Hello, today I

am sharing a cute Owl Valentine treat.

I used a couple files from SVG Cutting Files for my treat. To hold the nuggets 

I used the Nugget Wallet Platform and for the cute polka dot owl I just loved

the owl from Owl on Coffee Mug. I just love the sentiments on 

Pugs and Kisses from Jaded Blossom. I thought the Owl sentiment was perfect 

for my treat and stamped on the tiny flag from 

Mini Tag Dies 2, it fits nicely.

Here's a close up of the chocolate nuggets inside. The are wrapped in 

Jaded Blossoms Candy Wrapped Dies.

Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone has a great week!

Thanks A Latte Coffee Gift Card

Hello all! 

I have a sweet short post today. I made a gift card holder card. I love coffee and the best thank you gifts are always gift cards to my favorite coffee stand!! 

I just did a simple outside since the star of the card is the gift card holder inside. All the stamps are from Jaded Blossom Java Time. I love this set, it has tons of great coffee sentiments! 

Here's the inside. I also used the Jaded Blossom topper die and gift card die to make the gift card really stand out! I will be entering this into the JB monthly challenge.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I think it's time for another cup of coffee for me!!

Happy Father's Day!

Hello everyone :) 

I have a short and sweet post to share today! I made a gift for my dad for Father's Day. He is a wonderful dad, was an amazing provider for our family of 7. He raised two of my brothers from the age of 6 months on his own! He then accepted my mothers 2 children as his own. I am so blessed to have him as my dad! He is very supportive and proud of me. Love you dad!! Anyways, now to my project. My dad doesn't really ever want anything, but he loves mixed nuts! I took a can of Planters mixed nuts and created his own secret stash!

Here's the front of the can.

And a shot of the top

For the papers I used The Guy Stack from DCWV. The sentiments are both from Jaded Blossom. The top is from Secret Stash and the side one is from Fathers Day.

I am also entering this at the last minute, hopefully not too late into the Jaded Blossom monthly challenge.

I hope everyone has a great Father's Day!!

Jaded Blossom Guest Designer/Monthly Challenge

Hello Everyone!

I'm so excited to let you all know that I am the guest designer

at Jaded Blossom for the month of November! This is a HUGE honor and I've been

SO SO SO excited about it since they asked me to do it. In fact within seconds

I was telling my best friend, whom I was having lunch with at the time. 

Now on to my project. The challenge this month is to make a Thanksgiving treat.

I made this cute lil treat for my mom as a thank you for having us all

to dinner on Thanksgiving. I know having a big dinner like this is so time consuming.

I used the Gusset bags, which I inserted a piece of Bo Bunny Apple Cider collection paper in, to 

give it some structure and make it a lil extra cute. Then I stamped some plain white cardstock with the Thanksgiving Candies set in multiple colors and even colored some of the designs in with my Copics. I closed the bag off with more Bo Bunny paper cut out with the Fancy Topper die, which I ABSOLUTELY love!! In fact I think I might love it more than the flag dies (maybe). The image I pop dotted  onto it is the top half of the turkey from the Turkey Poop set, which I colored with my Copics. The sentiment Gobble til' you wobble is also from that set. It has so many cute phrases and even a couple things you can disguise him up with.

Here's a close up of the topper and turkey.

I hope you can join us in this month's challenge it'll be a fun one!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a happy week.

Jaded Blossom Monthly Challenge

Hey everyone! Happy Labor day, I've had the last 3 days off and yet haven't gotten to craft at all. =( I

m definitely making time today! Here's my project for the Jaded Blossom Sept. Monthly Challenge. I just love this card it is my first attempt at a pop-up card and I think it turned out pretty good. It was for my friend Todd's 30th birthday and we had a blast and he loved the card.

Here's the card standing up I used Pink Paislee paper for the base and some shimmery blue paper from recollections that I embossed with sizzix embossing folder snowballs. I then faux letterpressed the 30 that I cut out on my silhouette with the same embossing folder and CTMH tulip ink. I used the make a wish set from Jaded Blossom for my sentiment. 

Here's a look at the inside of the card.

The card file is from the Silhouette store and I colored the "frosting" and candles with my copics.  

Hope everyone has a happy and safe labor day!!
