Happy Easter Goody Bag!

 Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 
and I have a fun little Easter treat bag to share with you today.


For my project, I started by creating my treat bag using some white cardstock and the Goody Bag Die. I used the layering die that comes with the Goody Bag Die to cut out a piece of blue patterned paper so that I could build a little scene. I used the Spring Dies to cut out a piece of green patterned paper to create some grass and adhered that down, being sure to not add the adhesive all the way to the top. I used the Gnome Dies: Easter Add Ons to create my little Easter basket and filled it with some eggs that I cut out using the Build A Booth: Easter Add Ons. I tucked my basket behind the top of the grass, tilting it just a bit for a little whimsy. I stamped the bunny from the Large Bunny stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto some Copic friendly paper and did some simple coloring. I cut him out using the Large Bunny Outline Dies and popped him up onto my bag with some foam tape. I added some black enamel dots for his little eyes and some glasses using the Glasses Dies. I stamped my sentiment, also from the Large Bunny stamp set, and popped it up above the bunny with more foam tape. 

To close my little bag, I simply used a hole punch to create a small hole, threaded some plaid ribbon through and tied white ribbon into a bow to keep the plaid ribbon in place. 


I placed some white paper shred and some little Easter candies inside.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!

Happy Tuesday!

If you're here from Cynthia's Blogyou're in the right place, if you're just passing through start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I also have the complete line up at the bottom. 

 Here is what I made:


You can never have enough birthday cards right? 
I started by creating an A2 top folding card from some white cardstock. I used the Card Layer Dies 1 to cut out some pink patterned paper and then adhered the pieces in opposite corners. Next I used the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 to cut out a piece of striped pattered paper and added it to the front of my card with foam tape. I built my little girl by using the following die and stamp sets: Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Faces & Gnome Dies: Birthday Add Ons. For my sentiment, I simply placed the sentiment I wanted to use from the Everyday Vertical Greetings stamp set into my Misti, curving the stamp to match my balloon as best as I could. I felt like she was getting a little lost against the stripes though, so I cut out a white oval from the Stitched Oval Dies and placed her on there before adhering her to my card front. I added some hearts using the Embellishment Clusters Die and the Banner dies. I completed my card with some enamel hearts, some white Nuvo drops and a tiny little thread bow on her balloon.

Jaded Blossom's March Stamp Release!!

Happy Monday!
 It's time for our March Stamp Release over at Jaded Blossom! All new items will be available Tomorrow, Tuesday 3/18/25 at 12 am EST



We have three new stamps available and two new MDF items! Check them out HERE

Here is what I made using the new items.. 


I decided to make a Thinking of You card that could be given as a Sympathy card or to someone who may be going through a hard time. These cards are so hard to make but when you do need one, it's always a bit easier when one is already made and available. 

I started by making an A2 cardbase from Kraft cardstock and cutting out some pretty Ombre patterned paper using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and adhering it on top. I then used the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 again to cut out a piece of white cardstock, as well as a piece of vellum. I wanted to soften the white just a bit so I layered the Vellum piece on top of the white and popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I stamped the image from the Thinking Of You stamp set with some brown ink onto a piece of Kraft cardstock and used the Rectangle Dies 2 to cut it out. I adhered it to my vellum piece and added my sentiment using the Thinking Of You stamp set and the Mini Tag Dies 2. I added some hemp cording and bow to complete my card.

Lucky Vibes!

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 
and I created a St. Patrick's Day themed card to share with you today.


To create my card, I started by creating a white A2 cardbase and adding a yellow layer that I cut out using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 on top. Next I used the Window Card Mat Die and cut it out of some white cardstock, as well as 2 different patterned papers. I added the white frame on top of my yellow scallop panel and filled in the windows with the patterned papers. I used the Octagon Dies to cut out a piece of Vellum and then heat embossed my sentiment, from the Lucky Vibes stamp set, with some black embossing powder. I built my pot of gold using the Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons and added it above my sentiment. I was able to hide some foam tape behind the pot so that my Vellum piece could be raised up off of my card front for a little dimension. I completed my card by adding a little four leaf clover that I cut out using the Build A Booth: Clover Add Ons and a little green enamel heart.

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Jaded Blossom's March Challenge!

Hi everyone & happy March!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!
This month is.....Anything Goes!
 We would love to see your projects that use some of those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Challenge Guidelines: 
1) Project must be new for this challenge, no back linking
2) Project must have a Jaded Blossom stamp, die, or stencil somewhere on it. 
3) Only one entry per person


For my project, I could not resist making a fun little bag to hold some yummy candy for the upcoming 
St. Patrick's Day 🍀


Here is how I made it....
I used the Octagon Treat Box Die and cut out my pieces using some green patterned paper from Doodlebug. Once I had my box pieces cut out, I glued all the sides together to create the box and then set it aside while I worked on my face. I created my face by using the Octagon Treat Box Die (face base) & the Octagon Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1 (Beard, Mustache, Nose, Eyes, Hair and Ears) and then added a little bit of blush for the rosy cheeks. Once I had his little face created, I attached it to the front of my box. I then used the Octagon Dies: Christmas Add Ons 2 for his top hat, adding a buckle and four leaf clover from the Gnome Dies: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons.


I added some paper shred and candy to the inside and my little treat box is ready to go!
I think this turned out so cute!!

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom blog to see what the rest of the DT made, they never disappoint! 
I hope you will play along, I would love to see what you make!
