I spy Jaded Blossom

Let's play a game... how many Jaded Blossom items do you spot in this project?

Before I get started, I want to share with you something I found out during this project, and I was amazed.  In my paper stack, I had a "the paper studio" stack named adhesive simplicity. 

(For those of you who know me, you may not be surprised by this next statement but for those of you who don't know me, please don't let it change your opinion of me) HA. 

I thought to myself... what a weird name for a paper pad.  Who cares... it's cute!

So, I pulled out this pad to use on this project and for the life of me I could not figure out why the paper was so darn thick.... DUH... it's a giant sticker!  How stinkin' cool!!!  A stack of 60 pages of stickers that I can make into any design I want.  Yep, I'll be buying stock in this stuff!  You'll see why it ended up being absolutely perfect for this project.

 I had such a great time making this project!

These would be great little treats for your next scrap night.

To start with, I used the 3x4 bags from Jaded Blossom and filled them with some cute colorful twine.

The twine had a ugly brown paper holding it in the center so I covered it up using the Candy Charms & Banner die set.  I used the scalloped circle from this set.

From the Craft On stamp set, I stamped the sentiments on white card stock and adhered them to the scalloped circle.  Then, because the paper is adhesive, I just stuck it on top of the ugly brown paper.

Then, using the Fancy Topper Die I cut out the base from the adhesive paper. 

I took plain white cardstock and cut out the insert then chalked it with a plum ink.

On the insert after it was chalked, I used one of the banner dies from Candy Charms & Banner die set. Setting those next to each other, it added some additional layers of color.

The sentiment at the top and the one in the scalloped circle are both from the Craft On stamp set also. 

I chalked the edges of the sentiment and the scalloped circle with the same plum and used pop dots to adhere them.

The cool part of the paper you've been waiting for... I just folded the Fancy Topper Die cut out in half after it was put together, pulled the adhesive backing off and stuck it to the bag.  no tape needed.

Yeah, it doesn't take much to amuse me :)

So folks, that's my project for today.  I was thrilled with how it came out, I hope you like it too!

Whoot Whoot!!! You haven't seen the last of me yet!

That's right, I'm back :)  for a few more days this month at least.

Today's project is for a wedding my husband and I are going to next month for some very dear friends of ours.

With everyone posting ideas through pintrest on what they want certain parts of their lives to be like, it was easy to get an idea that this wedding is going to be nothing but Pure Country. 

We just received our invitation a few days ago, and boy was I right on my guessing, the bride chose creams and tans for her base colors, she added burlap and a bright green for accents.  Her invitations were so cute, I can only imagine what the event will be like.

After I got married, I realized I had all these little trinkets I wanted to keep but had no one place to store them all safe and sound.

I bought these adorable burlap goodie bags and went to work.

Many of her posts on pintrest included mason jars for different parts of the event.  Good thing Jaded Blossom has a great one!!!

I inked heavy on the stamp since the burlap is course and I wanted the image to be clear. I used the Jar stamp from the Spread the Love set.

Then I used hearts from the Wedding Candies stamp set and just put a few in the jar.  They kind of look like fireflies too.

I went over the outside and some accents of the jar and around the hearts with lime green stickles.

and over the top of it all, I put their wedding date. 

I used the ribbon from her invitation to tie around the top of the bag. 

I plan on using this as the gift bag for part of their wedding present.

I hope you like it, I sure enjoyed making it.  and you can bet I'll be updating you on how amazing the wedding was when we get home.
