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!

Christmas, Perhaps...

Who doesn't have a Grinch around at Christmas!!! LOL!

Today I am sharing a card using a file from


Hopefully this Christmas you can teach your Grinch that Christmas has nothing to do with what you get or what you have to buy, but everything to do with what you give from the heart. Christmas is a story about God and His giving to us! And in turn we then give love, peace, compassion and so much more to others. I pray that your Christmas, as it is quickly coming upon us, will be full of all things loving, good, and kind!


The card measures 4 3/4 x 4 3/4" square. The background paper is from Doodlebug Design's Kraft in Color collection. The Grinch file is actually called Bobble Buddies Grouch and is from Treasure Box Designs. This file will be retiring soon and is only .80 cents right now. There are several other files including all the Bobble Buddies, Treasure Tots, Tiny Treasures, and Sports Tots also for .80 cents. The scalloped oval is from Spellbinders and is stamped with a sentiment from My Craft Spot that is no longer available. I hope you enjoyed this fun card!



Thank you for stopping in today. It is wonderful to have you here!

Kitty Sidekicks!

It's Friday and it is party time with
This week's theme: Besties Card
Here is a little inspiration for you to get your creative juices flowing!!! 

Lots of clean white space is hard for me, but I really like how all the white makes the blues and pinks on this card pop. The card is A2 size with a white on white background. The background piece is inked with Summer Sky Memento Ink. Memento Inks are my go to inks for most projects although I do prefer Color Box inks for my brown tones. The Cat file is from Miss Kate Cuttables. I only used 3 main layers to create this instead of the five shown in the PDF, and then, of course, cut the pink layers for the cheeks and the heart. For the eyes and nose, I used a black marker to color them in. The layers were inked with the same Summer Sky ink to add depth to the piecings. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Super Hero (Revamp) set and is stamped onto a cut file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.


Hope you enjoy this card and will give it or something similar a try.

It's Back to School Time!

It's almost time for my kiddos to head back to school. I know that many of you have already sent your kids back to their teachers, but thankfully we still have one more week. I like to start out the first day of school with a fun gift for the teacher. Teachers need to know they are appreciated!!! It goes a long way in making friends with them in my opinion. I plan to make a treat bag to match this card.
Today's card uses the Bushels of Fun collection from Treasure Box Designs.

What a cute cut file!!! I have made an A2 sized card. My background paper is from Doodlebug Design's Lovebug Collection. The border die is from Jaded Blossom as well as the sentiment stamped along the right edge. I used foam squares to attach the mouse with its apple. The thank you die cut is from My Creative Time. I finished off the card using Doodlebug Design's Sprinkles. I used my Cameo to cut the SVG file using Designer Editions software.

Thanks for dropping in today. It's nice to have you here!
