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.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I have a quick post since it's past my bedtime.

Here are some little matchbook treats I made for my co-workers and 

my boyfriends co-workers. Who doesn't love a lil candy on Halloween!

I used kraft cardstock for the actual matchbook cut out at 2 3/4" by 8". 

Put a lil DCWV halloween paper on as a mat and pop 

dotted some cute images I cut out on my Silhouette. 

The ghost face is from Peachy Keen Basic Paper Doll Asst.

Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.

Vampire Bites treat bags

Hello again! I've really been in the Halloween treat making mood. :)


I wanted to share a quick post of some Vampire Bites I made using the Jaded Blossom Halloween treats stamp set and the PK character face asst. I got the peekaboo vampire from the Silhouette online store and left out his face so I could stamp a PK face on him. I pop dotted his lil hands to add some dimension and make them look like they were really coming over the edge of the paper and I accented that with a strip of black ribbon for texture. On the back I stamped the vampire bites in stampin up real red ink. The bag is a JB 3x4 inch bag filled with cherry jelly bellies.



Hope you enjoyed my treat today :)

Jaded Blossom October Challenge

I have a quick post to share for the Jaded Blossom Monthly Challenge. 

I made these up for my co-workers, thought it would be fun to show them a lil more about me.

I cut the pumpkin out using my Silhouette on orange polka dot cardstock and the stem is green glitter cardstock. I used DCWV Halloween and Fall paper stack for the paper on the back that I stamped the Jaded Blossom Pumpkin Poop poem on. The poem says:

Pumpkin Poop

 I started to carve my pumpkin

with my carving knife and scoop

but the pumpkin got so scared

it took a little poop

It looked so cute and funny

just like a candy treat

so I'm sharing it with you now

because you are so sweet

Isn't it so cute!! I just love the poem. I filled the Jaded Blossom 3"x4" bags

with little pumpkin mellowcremes.

Hope you like my project. I'll have more Halloween treats to share later this week!

Master Crafter project

Hello everyone! This is a late night post for me.

So I signed up for Master Crafter and it's been really fun! I got my box a couple weeks ago and now I get to post and link up what I made with my goodies.

 

To vote for my project click on the Master Crafter picture above. I'm #8!

The items that came in my package were a Scissor Mouse sponsored by Westcott , DCWV Rockstar mat stack sponsored by DCWV Deals, Cotton Bag Sponsored by State line Bag Co. , 1/2 sheet of green Rhinestones sponsored by Queen and Co., Sentiment stamp Celebrate sponsored by Pink by Design, Assorted Buttons.

I used the scissor mouse to cut out my tag, using the paper in the Rockstar mat stack for both layers, I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo, then added a 3 Girl Jam ribbon flower with one of the Queen and Co. Rhinestones for the center and to finish it off used the Celebrate sentiment from Pink by Design.

Here's a close up of the tag

For the gift bag which I filled with flower bulbs (it's that time around here). I dyed the cotton bag in distress stain in Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Broken China. I then added the buttons that were in my package to the strings for a cute tie off, and adorned the bag with another ribbon flower with button in the center and some Rhinestones for sparkle.

Here's a close up of the bag

Well even if I don't win Master Crafter it sure was fun making this cute little bag and I know one of my friends will just love to plant these tulip bulbs in front of her new home!

Hope everyone has a great rest of your week!

Anniversary card

Well it's been quite a while since I last posted. My new job is very exhausting since I'm still in the training phase. Hopefully once I get into the groove everything will go back to normal. I wanted to share a quick card I made for my parents friends anniversary. 

I am currently in love with paper flowers! They can be so much fun and a very simple way to add a nice touch. I used the Jaded Blossom original flag die, which I just love so much! some flowers from recollections, the scallop circle I cut out on my silhouette, the sentiment is stampin up and a few pearls from CTMH.

Hope you like it and have a great weekend!

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!!
