Baked for you- Jaded Blossom Guest Designer

I'm so excited to have my first guest designer opportunity!  Thank you Candace & Michelle for allowing me to showcase your products!  

I created these super fun Cookie Tags using the awesome Jaded Blossom Luggage Tag die and the 100% Handmade stamp set!  

 I think my favorite part of the die is the hole reinforcement.  

I used my Cricut Explore's print & cut feature to cut out the cute image from Kadoodle Bug Designs (Ginger Cookies).  Making 30 tags there was no way I had the patience to paper piece all the Ginger Cookies together!!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Now off to bake some cookies and put these cute tags to good use!!

Santa Pillow Boxes

How cute are these Santa Pillow Box?!?! I just love how cute and easy they turned out!  

My mom was out visiting at the end of October and we went into a local scrapbooking store which had a sample box on display.  To my luck, my mom fell in love with the Santa Pillow Box so I ordered them from Lawn Fawn on her credit card. :)  (The scrapbooking store didn't have the set in stock yet.)

Here is a close up of a box.  

In order to put these cute boxes together, I used the Pillow Box and Santa's Belly from Lawn Fawn.  Beings as I needed to make 15 boxes for my mom, I was also able to use up some of my scraps that have accumulated! 

I just love being out on Thanksgiving Break so I can get some crafting done!  I'm entering this project into the following challenges:

Die Cuttin Divas- Ch. #243 Tag, Bag, or Box

Cool Holiday Wishes- Penguin Card

I just love the way this card turned out!!  So much cuter then I had imagine.  lol  The idea for my card this Lawn Fawn card.  

For my card I used Jaded Blossom card mat dies to cut out two white mats.  I then used my Lawn Fawn Hillside Borders on one of the mats to create the snow.  I used the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop to create the background of the card (I also used the card mat die to get the stitched edging).  The super cute penguin and sentiment came from Jaded Blossom's Penguin Dress Up set and was colored using my copic markers.  I fussy cut the penguin and bow before adhering them to the card mat (not too bad considering it was the 1st time I've tried it).  If I make the card again, I think I'll try using pop dots under the penguin instead.  

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Vampire Teeth

Finally had a chance to do a crafting project that's been on my todo list for a few weeks!  I found gummy fangs at Target a few weeks back and just knew they'd make for a fun treat!!

For my treat, I used the Fancy Topper Die, Mini Tag Dies 2, and Halloween Signs from Jaded Blossom.  The Vampire face came from SVG Cutting Files- Vampire Milk Carton.  I had to tweak the vampire face by eliminated the mouth cutout since I wasn't attaching it to the milk carton.

I used mandarine twine from The Twinery to attach the tag to the topper. I thought I'd try something different (for me) by wrapping the twine around the topper bag a few times before tying on the tag.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Jaded Blossom- Halloween

Cardz TV-Halloween Treat Holder

Game Day Treats

It was our week for snacks after the soccer game, so of course I took the opportunity to create a fun Game Day Treats bag!  And I couldn't have done it without my Jaded Blossom Stamps- Go Team, Sport Candies, Stitched Circle dies & Mini Tag Dies 2.  The soccer ball is from the cricut store.  I have a feeling these stamps are going to come in very handy over the next few years!

I found the fun soccer ball chocolates at Party City when I was getting C's birthday party supplies.  I just couldn't pass them up!   When cutting out the soccer balls, I accidentally loaded the wrong paper, hence the backwards looking soccer ball bag on the left.  Since soccer balls now come in a a variety of colors I decided to just go with it instead of cutting out new ones.

Here is a close up of the tag on each bag.  I tied them on with some twine from my stash.  

I used the smallest stitched circle die as a background for the candy stamp.  

Shout out to Candace and Annie from Bomb Squad Blogs for the amazing new design on my blog!!

Thanks for stopping by!

HB2U

I had so much fun making this card for my niece's birthday!!  The best part was I was able to put it together from start to finish in about 45 minutes.  And yes that includes designing it.  I was able to cut out all of the balloons using scraps of paper.  I also used pop dots for the 1st time on this card.  I'm so glad I added them to my stash as I don't think the card would have looked as good had I glued the balloons flat on the card.

For this card I used all Jaded Blossom products- card mat dies, birthday dies, and supersize birthday greetings.
