Jaded Blossom August Release Blog Hop - Guest Designer

Hey Everyone!

 

Welcome to Jaded Blossom's August 2015 Release Blog Hop.

 

Now if you're here from Candace you're in the right place; if you're just passing through, start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I also have the complete line up at the bottom. I know you have been waiting all week for this hop! And I have really enjoyed sharing projects with you as this month's guest designer!!! Thank you, Candace and Michelle, for making me a part of the JB family for the month of August.This month's release has so many great stamp sets for so many occasions.  For my hop project, I decided to use the stamp set Encouragement again and to make my own tag using one of the border dies from the new Label Dies:  So today, I am "Sending You Lots of Encouragement"

 

I used the fun acorn box from the Acorn Autumn SVG Kit from SVG Cuts. I made the large one at the size it imported and then reduced the file to make two smaller acorns. The designer paper is from Basic Grey. The embossing on all three lids was done with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder.

 

 I used one of the border dies to make my sentiment from the new Label Dies. To do it, I took a piece of paper that was about an inch wider than the sentiment and ran the die through my Cuttlebug on one side then turned the paper the other direction and ran it through again leaving just enough space to add my sentiment. I then stamped my sentiment. Once the sentiment was stamped, I knew how wide the tag needed to be. That allowed me to die cut both sides using just the straight portion of the border die. I hope that all made sense. LOL! There are so many ways these fun border dies can be used!!!

 

 

I think this sentiment is done in such a great font. You could practically make any kind of treat/gift box, fill it with some fun candies or a small gift, and use this sentiment and you'd have a wonderful gift to brighten anyone's day.
