Fiesta! Jaded Blossom April Release Day 1!

It's April Release time at Jaded Blossom.

There are so many fun projects today, so I hope you will head over to the Jaded Blossom Blog after scrolling down my post here.

We are showing off the new Banner Dies, the new Cinco De Mayo stamps, and the new Be a Pinata stamps!

I have used the Banner Dies and two sentiments from Cinco De Mayo for today's sneak. To make my topper for my package of maracas, I also used Rectangle Dies 2 and Scallop Rectangle Dies 2.

On the card, I used the largest die from the Card Mat Dies to cut my background.

I used the International Beauty Mexico and Kawaii Pals Fairy from Treasure Box Designs to piece together my SVG file. All the paper is from Doodlebug Design. I used several collections. I love how their colors coordinate across all their collections. You can find some Doodlebug Design in the Jaded Blossom Store under the Fun Extras section. And the cardstock I used for my card base and the Scallop Rectangle Topper is from Papertrey Ink. They have fantastic cardstock! I heat embossed both of my sentiments.

I don't care which Jaded Blossom dies I use, because I love them all. And today's new dies are no exception. The tree limbs will add such an awesome background to a variety of projects!!! For this project, I knew I wanted to do a Halloween scene. At first, I thought I'd make a card, but then I decided I needed a treat box!!! I took the concept I wanted for the card and just added it to the front of the box. Along with the new Scenic Dies, I used Halloween Dies, Halloween Dies 2, Candy Charms and Banner Dies, and Spooky Labels. The paper is from Graphic 45 and the box is from SVG Cuts Carousel Ride kit.

Scaredy Cat - August Jaded Blossom Guest Designer

Today I am sharing my last Guest Design Team project over on the Jaded Blossom blog. I have had such a great time working with everyone over there this month!!!

Halloween is my favorite holiday to craft for and it will be here before we know it! Yeah!! So today I am sharing this super spooky pencil gift using Jaded Blossom's Meow and Forever stamp set and the Label Dies that were both released this month.

I started this project with a clear bag measuring 2 1/4" x 8". Mine is from Annie's Paper Boutique, but you can also find them in the JB store. I filled it with pencils and then got to work on my tag. The tag is from the Silhouette store. I altered it considerably to make it the shape and size I wanted. I also used my internal offset function to make a top layer for it. That top layer was cut using Doodlebug Design's October 31st collection. This is a super cute collection of papers!!! The paper piecing is from My Scrap Chick and is called Scaredy Cat. I ran the Label Die through my Cuttlebug and then did some masking to my Scaredy Cat sentiment to stamp it as I did. I added a piece of ribbon through the top using a button and some Totally Grape Trendy Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique. I also wrapped some more twine around my clear bag of pencils a few times and tied that off with a bow. I then used foam squares to attach my cat piecing and my spider embellishment to the top of the tag and then used foam tape to attach the tag to the clear bag. It is a spooktacularly fun project!!!

You can also find this project, as well as all my other GDT projects from this month, on the Jaded Blossom Blog. I hope you will stop by there to check them out along with all the inspiration of the Jaded Blossom Design Team!

Jaded Blossom Guest Designer - August Monthly Challenge

I have been waiting for months for this and it is finally here!!!

I am guest designing for the month of August for

Jaded Blossom Stamps!!!

Yippee!!! I am so excited!

It is time for the August Monthly Challenge.

Theme: Back to School

Here is my project:

I used the Jaded Blossom stamp set Superstar  and the 1x8" Clear Bags.

I truly believe that a child who knows how to read and to write has the potential to reach for whatever they want. I am going to send this project to school with my youngest on the first day for the teacher. I also have pencils for all the classmates.

I started with a tin can that I picked up at the dollar section of Target. I pieced together this super cute file from Treasure Box Designs called Teeny Treasures School. I stamped it with the "Reach for the Stars" sentiment.

I then added a pencil to (12) 1x8" clear bags. I cut 12 stars from the Treasure Box Designs Teeny Treasures Unicorn set and stamped just the word "Star!" from the "You're a Star" sentiment and attached them to the top. I arranged them in the bucket using kraft Paper Crinkles from Michaels to keep them in place. (Add the pencils first and then fill in with the crinkle paper. It will make the process so much easier!)

Thank you for stopping in today to get the details on my Back to School proect! I hope you will join me and all of the Jaded Blossom DT tomorrow for Day 1 of Sneaks for the August release.

Remember to share all your Jaded Blossom projects in their Garden of Creativity FB group. And browse all their great products in the JB store.

This month's JB Monthly Spotlight stamp set is Lunch Box Notes 2. It is on sale all month long for $10.99 (or until the run out of stock) so hurry over to snag it.

Halloween Badge!

Do you want an alternative this Halloween to the traditional treat bag for your child's class?

 

Well then I have an idea for you using files from KaDoodle Bug Designs!

 

 

How about making these badges! I cut the badge from the Giddy Up Cowboy set four layers thick for durability. Before attaching the fourth layer on the back, I punched two holes and thread a safety pin into the holes. Once I glued the fourth layer on, the safety pin held in place. For the ghost, I used the Witchy Ghosts file. I cut it out without the star and the face pieces. After piecing the ghost together, I added a Peachy Keen stamp for her face. There are some ghosts in the set that will work for boys as well. Not only would these be fun for your child's class, but they would make cute party favors for your Halloween parties.
