You are Amazing Gift Set!

So I totally saw a card on Pinterest that I loved and I immediately said - I can make something like that with my Jaded Blossom dies - and so I did.

Today is my day to post on the Jaded Blossom blog and this is the gift set that I made for my project:

I used several Jaded Blossom goodies including Spring Dies 2, Rectangle Dies 1, Treat Tag Die, and a sentiment from Encouragement. I also used Canson Watercolor paper, Peacock Feathers and Crushed Olive Distress Inks, and Limeade Ice cardstock from Papertrey Ink.

Here is a close up of my card:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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! 

Don't forget to share your Jaded Blossom creations with us in the Garden of Creativity.

Mermaid to be Friends!

Happy Tuesday! 

I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July holiday. I had a great time celebrating with my brother and his family! How many of you like to go and watch the big firework shows and who likes to just stay home? I love the fireworks, but I can't always get my hubby to go.

It is my day to share a project for Jaded Blossom. Today I have a sweet card for you using the new Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and Rectangle Dies 1 and 2. I have also used Mermaid Kisses.

Now, I want you to know that you can use stamped images even if you don't have fancy markers. I have some EK Success and some Martha Stewart colored pencils and I used those to color the image. And, of course, these pencils don't allow all the fancy blending; but my dear friend who I am going to mail this card to will not mind a bit!!! I'm sure she will just be super excited that I have thought of her. The background paper is from Doodlebug Design.

So glad you stopped by my creative corner today! I hope you have enjoyed the card!

Blessings,

Here's what I created:

My first project is in anticipation of July 4th in just a few days. I love the firework shows!!! So I decided to make some fun treat bags for my kiddos that I can give to them on the holiday. The new rectangle dies make creating a topper so easy!!! I used the Scalloped Rectangle Dies 2 for this one. I also used the Rectangle Dies 2 and Superstar stamp set for my sentiment and the Star Dies for the dark blue stars on the fireworks. The fireworks are from Miss Kate Cuttables and the fun paper is from Doodlebug Design.

Here is a close-up of the topper:

And since July is known to the crafting world as Christmas in July, my 2nd project is a Halloween card. Yes, that's right, I said Halloween. You see, I just couldn't make anything Christmas themed without making something Halloween themed first!!! Does anyone else feel this way?!! LOL!

I love Halloween and some of my favorite JB Dies are the Halloween Dies! This little ghost just makes my heart melt!!!And look at all the fun layers that can be made with the new dies!!! It just looks awesome! To make the card, I used the new Scallop Rectangle Dies 1, new Rectangle Dies 1 and Rectangle Dies 2, Stitched Oval Dies, Halloween Dies, Layered Frame and Journal Die, and Spooky Labels stamp set. The fun patterned papers are from Doodlebug Design, the face stamp is from Peachy Keen Stamps, and the cardstock is Papertrey Ink.

Grand Slam Birthday!!!

With all the packing last month and the move at the beginning of this month, I haven't felt like I've had much time to craft. But in celebration of being home, I had to make this card for my Jaded Blossom DT project over on the Jaded Blossom Blog!!!

I'm sure I have already mentioned this, but I really love the Sports Dies that came out this month. I also used the new Hey Batter stamp set and the Card Mat Dies on this card. I traced the Royals logo using my Cameo software. I've already been out to the ballpark since arriving home. We moved back here from Cleveland and the Royals were playing the Indians the night I went to the game. Too much fun - especially since my Royals won that night.

My son's birthday is Wednesday, but we will have to wait until next weekend to celebrate as he is at camp for the week. This will be my start to transforming him into a Royals fan. I am also working on my husband!!! Hope you like the card. It would be an awesome card to make with any team's logo to give to your favorite baseball fan!

Thanks for swinging by!!!

Blessings,
