Jaded Blossom Guest Designer day!

Hello everyone! Dottie here with my last

guest designer post for November. I'm happy to

be sharing my project with you today, but sad it will be my last time.

 
Today I have made some treat bags with a cute lil tag using the
JB Curly Label Die that I cut out on double sided christmas paper from Recollections.
It's stamped with JB Winter Wishes and tied
to the JB gusset bag with a lil trendy twine. They are filled
with special treat called Christmas Crack. It's kinda
like a sweet chocolaty chex mix (Recipe on my blog).

Christmas Crack Recipe:

1 lb White Bakers Chocolate

            Break up chocolate into small pieces.

            Warm double boiler – drop in chocolate and leave it alone, get rest of mix ready.

                        When chocolate is shiny, you can mix until smooth.

3 C Rice Chex

3 C plain popcorn

 2 C Fritos

3 C Cheerios

2 C Pretzels

2 C Peanuts (without skin)

12 oz package of your favorite M & M's

Put dry ingredients in a LARGE Bowl and mix together.  Pour melted chocolate over and stir to coat (kind of like folding in the chocolate) gently work it until all of the dry ingredients are coated.  Spread mixture on a parchment paper or wax paper (I lined a couple of cookie sheets and then poured the mix on them).  Let cool completely and it will harden.  Break up into small chunks.

Enjoy!

A special thanks to Candace and Michelle for allowing me this great opportunity!
It has been an amazing month. Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!!

Jaded Blossom Release day!

Today's the day! 

At 4pm today Jaded Blossom will 

have their release blog hop!

 

 

For our last sneak peek we have Snowman Poop!

 

If you can't read it the poem I used goes like this:

I hear you've been naughty,

so listen, here's the scoop!

Instead of coal this year,

you get snowman poop!

 

 

 

I made a simple bag topper and used the Curly Label die for a tag. The tag is pop dotted and I added a lil Trendy Twine bow in Holly Berry. For my snowman poop I used vanilla salt water taffy. Yummy!

 

Make sure to come back for the release! It's a great hop coming up with some awesome prizes!

 

There's even a cute Holiday Penguin set that's free if you spend $45 or more 

on release weekend while supplies last! 

It's definitely a must have so get them before they are sold out!!

 

 

Design Day at Jaded Blossom

Hello Everyone! Today is my first day as guest designer for 

Jaded Blossom, I'm so very excited to be here and show you a 

Christmas card I made.

 

I used red cardstock from my stash, the frame is cut out on the silhouette, for the sentiment and the tree I used the Christmas wishes set. The sentiment and boarder from the Curly everyday borders set is embossed on the Curly label die with a couple red shiny brads for detail. For the Christmas Tree I stamped Versamark ink on photo paper, dried it with my heat gun and then covered the entire thing in Memento Cottage Ivy.

Here's a photo tutorial of the Christmas tree process

Start off with a 3x4 piece of white photo paper, the cheap stuff from Costco works great!

(Don't use Kodak premium picture paper high gloss, it would not set)

Stamp the image onto the paper with Versamark ink 

(it must be Versamark, I tried others and again they would not set properly)

Then dry with a heat gun or hair dryer

(its dries very quickly!)

Then just take your ink pad and start rubbing it over the entire thing.

 

The more ink you rub on the more defined the image will be and

 to get it back to shiny just rub it with a old clean rag.

It's really easy, quick and beautiful.

 

Thank you and have a great week!
