Pinapple of My Eye! Jaded Blossom May Release Day 5!

Day 5 of the Jaded Blossom May Release is as sweet as the rest of this week's release has been! We are showcasing the new Pineapples stamp set and this month's freebie today!

I have used Pineapples to make this fun card!

I kept thinking that it would be fun to make a baby card with the Pineapples set. I thought this sweet sentiment from the new Be a Pineapple would be perfect for it and then you could stamp Congratulations on the inside. Or you could just use a baby sentiment from Jaded Blossom.

I have also used Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and Rectangle Dies 2.

I hope you will join us today at 4 pm PST for the May Release Blog Hop at 4 pm PST. All this month's dies and stamps will be available at that time as well.

But for now, you can drop by the Jaded Blossom Blog to see more fun projects using Pineapples and this month's freebie - Pina Coladas. 

Here is a peek at them both!

Pina Coladas

See you later today!

New Baby, Congratulations!!!

So excited to be taking over the SVG Cutting Files Blog today!

Spring is less than a month away! I am so ready!!! And with spring, I begin to think about tings that are new. New growth and new life - and new babies!!!

I never make enough baby cards, so I thought that I would make a couple today to have on hand when I need them!

 

I love the way they turned out! I used a couple of files from SVG Cutting Files - Love Moon and Kawaii Moon - and did some welding of the two with my Silhouette software to come up with this sweet Kawaii moon floating on the larger cloud.



I then used some Jaded Blossom goodies to put together the card - Scallop Rectangle Dies 2, Rectangle Dies 2, Spring Dies 2, and the new Go Green stamp set for my sentiment. The sentiment was stamped using a Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad and Whispers Embossing Powder. The paper is from Authentique's Cuddle Boy collection.

I hope you will give these cards a try. It will make the perfect card for all those moms and dads that will be welcoming their new bundle of joy into this world.

Blessings,

                    

You're a Star!

I'm sharing today on the Jaded Blossom blog. Yay!!!

Today I have a simple card that would be a perfect baby card for a sweet boy! And  I'm sure we could find other occasions for it too!

I used the Card Mat Dies and the Superstar stamp set from Jaded Blossom. I also used the Stars Card Front Overlay and the Kawaii Starfish from SVG Cutting Files.

I cut out the background first with my Cameo and then put it through my Cuttlebug with the largest of the Card Mat Dies. I also die cut a piece of yellow cardstock. I then glued both layers together and attached them to the card base. I stamped my sentiment and arranged my stars from the Starfish file on the front attaching them with foam squares.

So glad you came by to have a look! Have a fantastic Tuesday!!!

Blessings,

Jaded Blossom May Release Blog Hop!

Hey Everyone! 

Welcome to Jaded Blossom's May 2016 Release Blog Hop.  

Now, if you're here from Lee-Ann's blog, you're in the right place; but if you're just passing through, start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing.  I have the complete line up at the bottom of this post. 
Here is what I made:

Well I know that I made a card for you yesterday with this turtle, but it is just so cute that I couldn't help myself to use it again today for the hop!!! Today I have a little gift set to give to a new or expecting momma. 

This time I colored the turtle with pinks and grays. I found this sweet background paper and the paper I used for the butterflies and my topper in my scrap drawer; so I am not sure which collection(s) they are from. I love the the Shell-ebrating You sentiment on the card. It is one of the many awesome sentiments that comes with the Turtley Rad stamp set. 

I also used Card Mat Dies, Spring Dies 2 (my first time using these and can I just say LOVE!), Border Dies, Mini Tag Dies 2, Scallop Slider and Topper Die, Super Hero, and Super Hero 2 for this project. 

And of course we have to have a deal for you right? This weekend only you can get the entire release package for $127.99

Baby Boy Album! 5 Days of Baby Buddies w/ Treasure Box Designs!

I am so excited to be teaming up with Treasure Box Designs again for another 5 day series of inspiration using files from the TBD store.

This time around we are sharing

Baby Buddies!!!

Today is Day 5!

I want to show you some really fun ways to use these files on cards and maybe on some other projects over the next 5 days. Baby Buddies will look awesome on baby projects for sure and some time this week I will have a project or two showing just that, but I also want to show you some other ways to use them. Today's project is a Mini Baby Album. It's something that could easily be tucked into a side pocket of a diaper bag.

Remember when I asked you the other day which of the Baby Buddies was your favorite? Well mine is the Hippo. I just think he is absolutely adorable so I am giving him the spotlight on Day 5.

The album was so easy to put together. I diecut 5 tags using a die from Jaded Blossom and used Authentique's Cuddle Boy and Seasons: Summer collections to decorate them. 

The photo mats were also made with dies from Jaded Blossom. I can't wait to be able to add some pictures of this and give it to a sweet momma who likes to show off her bundle of joy!

(Someone asked about pictures of the inside pages. I was trying to take some but was having a difficult time at it. If I am able to work something out tomorrow to get better pictures, I will update this to add them. Sorry about that!!!)

I used the Hippo from the Baby Buddies Monkey and Hippo file. Both of them are just adorable, but like I said - the hippo is my favorite!

You can get the Baby Buddies Monkey and Hippo file here.

Prize Alert!!!

Now what would 5 days of fun inspiration be without prizes. One lucky comment on this post will win the entire Baby Buddies collection. Yes, that is all 8 files of Baby Buddies with 2 animals in each file. Yay!!! 

How to WIN:

1. Be a follower of Treasure Box Designs on their FB fan page by hitting the like button or join the Treasure Box Gems Group.

2. Be a follower of M Miranda Creations on FB by hitting the Like button.

3. Leave a comment here about today's project and to tell me you have done #1 and 2.

(If you are not a FB user, then tell me another way you are following both Treasure Box Designs and M Miranda Creations. We are also on Pinterest and Instagram.)

Now, for more excitement - if we have 50 comments on this post, we will give away 2 Grand Prizes!

SVG Attic Guest Designer - Baby Boy Gift Box

I'm excited to be Guest Designing again today for SVG Attic!

 

I am still in the baby mood!!! Sssh! I have a baby shower to help plan soon, so it is on my mind!!!

 

For this fun gift box, I used the Cottontail Bunny Kit and the Baby Boy Kit.

 

 

 

I really like to watch little boys when they are fascinated by a plane, train, or automobile. If fact, some cute little plastic transportation toys might be the perfect thing to stuff in this box. It would also be the perfect size for some socks or onesies to give you a few ideas. The finished box is 5" W x 3.5" H x 1.75" L (deep). I used Canvas Corp's Blue and Ivory Dot cardstock. To close the top of the box I used some Totally Natural Trendy Twine. I added a tag from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags stamp set.

 

Thank you for dropping in today and I hope you will stop by the SVG Attic store to see all the fun SVG collections they have for you there.

 

Blessings,

'My Stuffie' Boy Scrapbook LO!

How about another cute Layout this morning!!!

This one uses the Little Gems Huggies file from Treasure Box Designs. I think this set of files is about as adorable as it gets. He just look so cute snuggled up with his favorite teddy bear.

Like I shared on my card using the little girl that comes with the Little Gems file from a few days back, my kids have always called their stuffed animals 'Stuffies'. So I had to tittle my LO 'My Stuffie.' I made the title myself in my DE software. The LO is 12x12 and the boy stands about 8 1/4" tall. The bear in the corner is the same as the one the boy is holding - it is just smaller and flipped, and I moved the legs and arms around to make him sitting. The photo mats will all hold a 3 1/2" square photo. Most of the cardstock is either Bazzill or Coredinations and the patterned paper is from the open stock section of my local Michael's store. I really like all the blues (but they sure do make photographing it a bit difficult. LOL).

This is the card I made the other day using the Little Gem Huggies Girl. She is such a doll. You can find all the details about it on my original post.

The LO and card are both listed in my eBay store right now.

The link to my layout is here.

Thank you for dropping in today. I always enjoy your comments. You can also see all of my latest creations on my Facebook and Pinterest pages or on Instagram @mmirandcreations.

SVG Attic Guest Designer - Congrats, It's a Boy Card

Happy Wednesday! Exciting news!!! Today I am Guest Designing for SVG Attic. Thank you to Beth and everyone over there for such a fun opportunity!

Well, you all know that I love making cards, so that is what I have for you today. I used files from two different sets from the SVG Attic store - Tent Cards and Baby Boy. Great thing about this card is that it can also be used as a centerpiece on the tables for a baby shower or as a baby announcement (just take off the 'Congrats'). I really like how it turned out!

 The card is A2 size (5 1/4" x 4 1/2"). I used Coredinations Teal Stripe and Moonstone cardstocks and Recollections white cardstock. The base of the card is from the Tent Cards collection. Just open the file and follow the instructions on the PDF to get the card to the size you'd like. The onesie, plane, train, and the 'It's a Boy' phrase are all from the Baby Boy collection. The 'Congrats' is a die from My Creative Time and does not come with either set of files from SVG Attic. And the twine is of course from Trendy Twine. It is called Tickled with Teal. It is a beautiful combination of white and light and dark teal. It gives a nice finishing touch!

For instructions on assembling this card, head on over to my post on the SVG Attic blog.

I wish you could see the card in person. The moonstone cardstock for the onesie, plane, and train is a shimmer paper that is just beautiful on this project. I hope you will give this a try and then share your finished piece on the SVG Attic Fanatics FB Group. I'd love to see all the color/paper combos you all could come up with! Also stop by the store to see all the fun collections and get creative!

Thank you for stopping by! I invite you to visit my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well or to find me on Instagram @mmirandcreations.

Blessings,

Baby Sock Tote

I have a Trendy Twine Little Sister post for you today!

 

This month we are showcasing the Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine and sharing baby projects.

 

 

I am very excited about this as I will be hosting a baby shower very soon. This is going to help me brainstorm some ideas.

I decided to make a tote to hold baby socks in. This is my prototype for the shower. I will make several of these for table decorations with a paper choice modification to match the colors of the shower. This tote with the blue, pink, and brown colors would be great if the baby's gender is unknown. My finished project for the shower will use this twine though as we know the baby is a girl!!! I really like the chocolate and pink color combo.

 

 

Using a tote from Lori Whitlock, I resized it larger to fit my need. I assembled it and attached the side panels. I then cut out the Floppy Bear file from LSHD and inked it and pieced it together. The Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine was wrapped around the caddy three times and tied off with a bow. I pop dotted the bear to the front.

On the back side, I used a Spellbinder's die to cut and emboss a scalloped oval. I added a baby sentiment to the oval from My Craft Spot and inked the edges. This was also attached with pop dots.

To finish it off, I tied a double bow to the handle and added a piece of twine there as well. What a super sweet project and it will not be hard to make the ten or so that I will need!
