Wishing You! Jaded Blossom April Release Day 5!

It is Day 5 of the Jaded Blossom April Release.

Everything will be available in the store tonight at 4 PM PST. We will also have a release blog hop that will start at the same time. But before all that fun gets underway, we have our last sneak peek to share with you this morning, Origami Fun, and this month's freebie, Special Birthday!

I used both, along with some of other JB goodies to make this tag on this treat!

I also used the Luggage Tag Die, new So Many Birthdays 3, and new Party Pants. The patterned paper and enamel dots are from Doodlebug Design. I used a small bit of twine from The Twinery as well.

This was made for a young man who my family has been trying to encourage for a few months now. His birthday was yesterday and we were excited to celebrate with him!

Hope you will stop by the Jaded Blossom Blog to see all the fun the design team has been having with the new Origami Fun stamp set!

Blessings,

                     

Mr. Easter Bunny Basket! Jaded Blossom February Release Day 4!

It's Friday and that means today is Release Day at Jaded Blossom. We have two more sets of stamps to share with you this morning - Bunny Mail and Easter Treat Circles - and then today at 4 pm we will have our release blog hop and everything will be in the store.

I used a sentiment from Bunny Mail on my project.

The basket is from SVG Cutting Files. It is the Egg Holder Basket. I chose not to use the insert and was able to stuff it with several smaller eggs. To decorate the basket, I used Jaded Blossom's Panel Dies, Flag Dies, and Spring Dies 1 (Version 2).

Here is a look at today's stamp sets:

Bunny Mail

Easter Treat Circles

Stop by the Jaded Blossom blog to see more fun projects using today's stamp reveals and then I will see you back here tonight at 4 pm PST for the Release Blog Hop.

Blessings,

                   

The Chicken Coop's Spring Chick!

Easter is just six days away! I am looking forward to watching my kiddos search for Easter eggs and the time we will have gathered around a table with friends and family! But in all the fun, I will not forget what Easter means to me and my family. It is a celebration of the day my Lord was resurrected from the dead. It is an important time to remember that death has been conquered for those who not only believe in Him; but have asked Him to become their Lord and Savior and have been washed through their own death, burial, resurrection in Baptism. I pray that my friends who do not know Him as Savior will seek Him out this Easter season. I know I will be glad to share the good news with anyone who asks! Many Blessings to you!!!

 

Today I am sharing an Easter card from My Scrap Chick using the Chicken Coop cut files.

 

As Easter is just a few day away, I thought I'd share another card for those of you needing last minute ideas. This chick was very easy to put together and would be perfect for any project where you are making multiples. I hope you will give it a try!

 

 

 Supplies Used:

My Scrap Chick: Chicken Coop

Doodlebug Design: Hello Spring

The Twinery: Lilac Stripe

My Craft Spot: Tiny Tags

Purple Cardstock from my stash

 

I hope you will give this last minute card idea a try!

 

Blessings,

Sweet Easter Chick Treat Box

 

So excited about my post today! Today is my Design Team day for

 

My Scrap Chick!

 

 

I just can't help it; I am still giddy about being on this team. I have been a huge fan of this company for years and now I get to work with them! So awesome!!!

 

My project today incorporates two files. I made the Pour Box and decorated it with a sweet chick from the Easter Chicks collection.

 

 

This is a super sweet box all decorated up for Easter. I enlarged the box to the largest size I could fit on my cutting mat. I then pieced the image of the chick together on my virtual cutting mat and sized it according to how big I wanted it on the side of the box. The box probably measures about 4 inches high this way. The box cuts in one piece. Just score and fold (adding a bit of glue of course. LOL!)!

 

 

Kristi and Val designed the spout on the side to be hinged allowing it to open and close. This box could be filled up with so many different kinds of good treats. It would make a great teacher gift, bus driver gift, for a co-worker, or maybe the perfect box of treats for your hubby! So many possibilities and easy to put together.

 

Other ingredients include:

DP: Doodlebug Design's Hello Spring collection

Cardstock: Bazzill (except for the pink egg which is a misc. piece from my stash)

Twine: The Twinery

Tag and Sentiment: My Craft Spot Tiny Tags

 

 

I, of course, inked the edges of my project (I use a lot of Memento inks, but I also used some misc. inks for this project.) I finished the tag off with a tiny jewel from my stash (HL) and used my white gel pen to add some doodling to give the image a bit more dimension.

 

I hope you will give this project a try. If you do, I would enjoy seeing your projects. You can share them with me on my FB page at M Miranda Creations.

 

And of course we want to see all your My Scrap Chick projects on the My Scrap Chick FB fan page.

 

Hope you have enjoyed my Easter Treat Box and hope you will come back by again real soon!

 

Blessings,
