Excited to announce that I have joined the Craftaholics R Us Challenge Blog

Rain or Shine!

It's my turn to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog, so I have a card to share with you using the new Card Layer Dies 1, Card Mat Dies, Spring Dies 2, and Rain or Shine.

I also used some fun Doodlebug Design patterned paper and cardstock 

from both Papertrey Ink and Co'ordinations.

Thanks for coming by to have a look!

Celebrating!!!

Happy 4th of July!

It is my turn to post on the Jaded Blossom Blog and I have a super cute treat to share with you today using goodies from Jaded Blossom!

I know that sometimes we don't have stamps for specific holidays, so I wanted to share with you a way to make a festive treat for the 4th without one.

To start with, I cut three of the Ric Rac Topper Die and some stars from the Star Dies. I then used my Silhouette machine to cut three of the free SVG outline files of the United States that coordinates with the United States Map stamp set. This is where the fantastic technique of embossing comes in handy. I first stamped the image of the United States Map on my svg diecut using the Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad and then I stamped the word Celebrating from Invitations Galore over the top of it also using the Versamark Watermark ink. I then poured blue embossing powder over it and heat set it and was able to get a fun sentiment right over my map. I used some Doodlebug Design paper for my background and some iridescent white cardstock from my scrap pile for the stars.

I think they came out quite festive and so very fun!

Thanks for dropping in today! May your day be blessed with the joy of family and friends; and where it is needed, may God grant you peace and comfort!

Blessings,

                      

Hello Sunshine!

The sun is shining and I am taking over the SVG Cutting Files Blog today!

The kids and I have been enjoying summer so far! Lots of swimming and baseball games and time with cousins! So much fun!!! So this is the perfect card to share with you today!

That's right - my family has been saying "Hello Sunshine!" The other day we went to a water park with several cousins and I think they all went around the lazy river the last 3 hours straight that we were there. They just went in circle after circle and talked non stop. They had so much fun!!! I hope you and your family are getting plenty of time in the sun too!

For my card, I have used the new Chibi Boy Pool Noodle file from SVG Cutting Files. This cutie will be available this Friday in the store. I also used Card Sketch 53 which you can find here.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Rain or Shine stamp set.

I used a combination of Echo Park, Doodlebug, and Papertrey Ink papers.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Jaded Blossom May Blog Post

Here is a summer fun Design Team post to share:

I love the sentiments on Tickled Pink, but didn't get to use them earlier this week; so I wanted to plan my project around one of the sentiment on the set. I also don't make a lot of layouts either, but just really wanted to use this flamingo from SVG Cutting Files and I just knew it would be super cute supersized!!! I have also used the Tropical Dies 2, Scallop Square Dies, Stitched Square Dies, Heart Dies 2, and Bow Dies. My paper is from Doodlebug Design. My sentiment is heat embossed.

I Think You're Swell! Jaded Blossom May Release Day 4!

It's day 4 with the Jaded Blossom May Release and today's stamp set has one of the cutest Puffer Fish ever! It just makes my heart happy!

My daughter thought it was a cutie too and so today's project is her idea. She wanted a box with the big Puffer Fish and the small Puffer Fish on it to give to her teacher on the last day of school. So using the new stamp set for today, I Puff You, I have made my little girl this sweet box to give to an awesome 2nd grade teacher.

I used some super cute paper from Doodlebug Design that reminds me of a school of fish for the background. Both sentiments are heat embossed and I finished it off with some Doodlebug Shape Sprinkles and some sequins. I then die cut some candy charms dies and added a sentiment there as well. The teacher tag is tied on with some twine and crinkle ribbon. On my Puffer Fish, I added some chalk on the cheeks and colored the fins and tail with a Copic marker. We will fill it up with lots of chocolate and a note of thanks!

To make this, I used Jaded Blossom's new I Puff You, School Time Greetings, Border Dies, Mini Tag Dies, and Candy Charms and Banners.

Today's new stamp set will be available on Friday at 4 pm PST along with the rest of the May Release. 

I Puff You

I hope you will stop by the Jaded Blossom Blog to see lots more of this cute Puffer!

Thanks for stopping by! See you tomorrow!

Blessings,

You're Pretty Sweet! Jaded Blossom May Release Day 1!

May Release is here and Jaded Blossom has some great Dies and Stamps this month! It is going to be a fun week of projects both here and on the Jaded Blossom Blog!

Today we are showing off this month's two new die sets and a set of stamps - Tiki Hut Dies, Tropical Dies 2, and Be a Pineapple.

I have used Tropical Dies 2 and Be a Pineapple to make my card and treat bag set:

I just love Palm Trees; so when I saw the cute Palm Tree die, I knew I had to use it! And check out that background paper from Doodlebug Design. It's so perfect!

I also used Card Mat Dies and the Fancy Topper Die. I keep this project simple, but I really love how it turned out!

I really like the sentiments on the Be a Pineapple set! Mahalo is a word for Thank You! I really liked hearing the Hawaiian people use it when I vacationed there. It is just a cool sounding word!

Today's new Dies and Stamps will be available on Friday, but if you can't wait...

Hello Summer! JB August Release Day 4

It is the Jaded Blossom August Release Week and today is Day 4!!!

Today we have an awesome set of stamps to share that will expand the possibilities for yesterday's Happy Hello stamp set - it is the Happy Hello Add-On! I love both of these stamp sets!!!

Here is my project for today:

Don't you just love the way the Happy and the Hello pop on this gift set! And the new Happy Hello Add-On set - well it really does give me more reasons to be Happy or say Hello!!!

I choose the Hello Summer combination for my card and the You Make Me Happy combination for my Goody Bag thinking of how fun it would be to put a gift card in the bag for my bestie so that we could both go get pedicures.  Nothing like a good pedicure and the warm sun to make a girl happy, right!!! And I'd stuff a few chocolates in there too just to bring a bit more joy to it all!

For this project, I broke out my favorite Papertrey Ink Cardstock in Black, Kraft, Vintage Cream, and Raspberry Fizz. Besides the Happy Hello and Happy Hello Add-Ons sets, I also used the Rectangle Dies 1, Rectangles Dies 2, and the Stitched Circles Dies from Jaded Blossom. All the sentiments were heat embossed using Versamark and some black embossing powder. And the super cute Toucan and flower svg files are from Treasure Box Designs Budsies Toucan set.

I'm sorry if you missed the Gotta Have it Now Package that ran through Wednesday, but I'm excited that this whole release goes live tomorrow night Friday August 12th at 4 PM Pacific Time.

Here is a preview of today's stamp set:

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will head on over to the Jaded Blossom Blog to see all the great projects by the entire design team.

Thinking of You!

Using some of my favorite dies from Jaded Blossom on my card today.

I love the butterfly dies in the Spring Dies 2 set! So I paired them with the Rectangles Dies 1 and a sentiment from Simple Sayings to make this card.

The background paper is from Authentique's Seasons: Summer 6x6 paper pad. This is a beautiful set of papers. And this card would work with lots of different sentiments.

Thank you for stopping in and taking a look!

Today's Stamp Set: Butterflies- $15.99

For our Freebie of the Month !

Free Stamp for customers that spend $40 or more before Taxes and Shipping! FREEBIE promotion STARTS later today at 4 pm PST and ends Sunday 2/21 at 11:59 pm PST.

Here's what I created

I think this new Butterflies stamp set is just beautiful and can be used in so many ways. 

I chose to do a watercoloring technique using Distress Inks which is new to me. It took a couple of tries, but I figured it out and I absolutely love the results. I used the Card Mat Dies to cut out the background paper using the Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Once my background was dry, I added the butterflies and the sentiment from today's stamp set - Butterflies. I used Tumbled Glass, Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, Spiced Marmalade, and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks. I finished off the card by adding some Matte Sprinkles from Doodlebug. For the gift bag, I used a bag from SVG Cuts and again used the watercoloring technique with the same Distress colors. For the scalloped circle tag, I used Mini Tag Dies 2 and stamped another of the butterfly stamps. 

And make sure to come back later today at 4 pm PST for our Stamp Release Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss it.

Jaded Blossom February Challenge - Flowers

Happy Sunday! It is Challenge Day over on Jaded Blossom blog!!!

Join the Jaded Blossom team this month with the new challenge theme - FLOWERS!

Here is my card:

When I saw this month's flower theme and looked through my collection of JB goodies, I knew I wanted to try the new Roses stamps that were released last month. So I headed to Pinterest for some inspiration and decided on the Clean and Simple technique that so many are using. I had also purchased a bunch of the miniature square Distress Ink pads and some Distress Watercolor Cardstock a couple months ago and decided this would be a good time to put them to use. So to make this card, I took a sheet of the Distress Watercolor Cardstock and cut it down to 4" x5 1/4". I took my Mini Ink Blending Tool and blending foam and applied Worn Lipstick Distress Ink to a small portion of the background on the watercolor cardstock. I just went across the cardstock the 4" length and about 1" to 1 1/2" high. I then cut out the SVG file for the rose and the leaf stamp provided for free by Jaded Blossom. I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink for the rose and Evergreen Bough for the leaf. I attached both to the front of the card with pop dots. I also stamped the Thinking of You sentiment from Simple Sayings stamp set to the card using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. To finish it, I attached the Distress Watercolor cardstock to the front of a white A2 card base. 

Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you will join Jaded Blossom's "Flowers" Challenge this month. I can't wait to see your projects!!!

Blessings,
