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
SVG Cutting Files- 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!!

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.

Thank You Card

I recently found a super cute card using Lil' inker designs Lattice Die and instantly envisioned a ton of card ideas!!  Needless to say I had to order it right away.  (Unfortunately I did not save the card that inspired me.)  Thankfully my envelope of goodies came today so of course I had to play!!  

I just love the way this card turned out!!


I cut an olive green piece of paper in half in order to create an A2 card base.  I then used my new Lattice Die and Thanks die (also from Lil inker designs).  Thanks is cut out on a tan piece of paper and I cut cream paper for the background.  I think the hardest part was gluing the lattice cut out down!  

Thanks for stopping by!!
