Everday I like you S'more and S'more

Hey everyone, it's Jaymie here and I would like to share this cute card I made using the Got S'Mores set!

Here is my project:

The sentiment I used is off of the Jaded Blossom Got S'Mores set. It goes perfectly with the NEW Kawaii Chocolately S'mores by SVG Cutting Files that is being released tomorrow! Isn't he cute? I love his melting chocolate!

The paper is from Echo Parks new Happy Camper collection and I added a little bit of Trendy Twines Chocolate Truffle

Well I hope you enjoyed my treat today, thanks for stopping by!

Guest Designer..... Sarah

Today is a sad sad day for me... it is my last day as a guest designer here at Jaded Blossom.

I have thoroughly enjoyed making projects and expanding my creative mind during this month.

I cannot thank the Jaded Blossom ladies enough for all of the encouragement and challenges they have given me this month. I have reached out of my rectangle card making box and learned about some very cool tips and tricks by playing more with favors. I am looking forward to all of they stamps they come out with in the future.

Ok, enough sappy stuff, here's my project.

With all of the relay for life events happening around me lately, I can't help but think about all those effected by all the different kinds of cancer in the world. I came across these pink swirled candy sticks and knew I was going to make something for relay.

I used the Awareness Ribbon die from Jaded Blossom and punched out the base with white cardstock and the insert using a pink country plaid. I like Jaded Blossom dies so much because of the stitching that is punched out on the image. I colored over the stitching with pink glitter pen.

I used the sentiment from Fight for a Cure and stamped it across the ribbon with my versafine black onyx ink. I topped off the design using light pink jute and making a ribbon.

I hope you like my final project, it's a simple one but I know it has a great impact on those fighting and surviving any and all cancers.

Thanks again Jaded Blossom ladies... you are fantastic and I cannot wait to see what awesomeness you come up with next!

Don't forget to check out my Blog.

Thank you so much Sarah for being our Guest Designer this Month! Your creations have been Amazing and we truly appreciate all the work that you have done.

Guest Designer.... Sarah

I am excited about this project today.

I saw a personalized mason jar that I thought was the coolest idea ever, so I immediately got to work.

This jar is full of home made pomegranate jelly (the best there is)

I first painted the entire jar with silver acrylic paint

Once the paint dried, I used my versafine onyx black ink and inked just the bottom half of the pumpkin from Jaded Blossom's Thanksgiving Wishes stamp set. I just love the swirls on this guy.

I took the outer rim of the jar off and stamped just the top edge of it with the same pumpkin stamp.

The top of the jar had to match but be elegant and after seeing what the pumpkin did to the side of the jar, I knew I had to reach for the Pattern Kisses stamp set and found the matching swirl design and circled the top.

The center sentiment is from the Wedding Candies set.

I was so excited when I saw how it came out, and the sentiment was perfect for a homemade jelly.

I did have to let the jar sit for about a week before the ink was dry against the acrylic paint. I probably could have used a blow dryer on it if I needed it sooner.

Thank You - Have a Great Summer!

Good Morning!

Hey there, it's Trixie from Pink Glitter Studio and today I want to share with you this

cute little treat I made for my daughter's bus driver.

I am totally in love with this Kawaii Bus Slider Card from SVG Cutting Files.

I made it a bit smaller so I could use it as a tag for my bag of goodies.

Jaded Blossom products used:
Puppy Love

Candy Charms and Banner Dies

Gusset Bags

I also used some Black Licorice Trendy Twine and some black tulle.

Here is the inside of the card.

Here is a side view of all the different Candy stamps I used.

Thank you so much for checking out my project today.

S'mores Kit!

Sorry interrupting Crystal's, just wanted to announce the winner of our Monthly Challenge real quick and that is
Nicole of Nicole's Craft Nook:

Contact us for your $10GC at admin@jadedblossom.com.

Thank you all so much for joining our Monthly Challenges.

Now back to Crystal's Awesome Treat.

Hello everyone! It is Crystal from Crystal's Creative Corner!

How are you? Getting ready for the first long weekend of Summer?

Well I have a great little treat for you - it would make a super little campfire favor.

Take a look:

I stacked a graham cracker, these "S'more" square marshmallows, and of course the best part..a Hershey bar inside of Jaded Blossom's gusset bag. I topped it off with the Fancy Topper Die and the awesome sentiment from the Got S'mores? stamp set. I used the Candy Charms & Banners for the dark brown base behind the little s'more that I colored with my copics.

Just added a little Trendy Twine in Chocolate Sprinkles.

These would be great to give to the little ones who head to bed early while the adults hang out around the campfire until really late...or until really early in the morning. (sounds like I have done that once or twice! lol)

I hope you enjoyed this treat! Have a great rest of your day and enjoy the Memorial Day weekend!

Stay Cool Treats

Hi Everybody!

It's Jenny from Crazy About Cricut here! I'm happy to say that it's time for more Jaded Blossom projects today! Our school year is actually winding up already, so it was time to create some simple treats for my little ones to hand out for the end of the year. My little one's school encourages treats that are not junk food, so I thought Capri Suns would be perfect! Here's how they turned out:

*Jaded Blossom - Fancy Topper Die, Treat Flag Dies, Gusset Bags, Straws

*Silhouette - Penguin Girl Too Cool Summer

(Note: Cricut substitute - penguin from the Simply Charmed cartridge, sunglasses from Forever Young Cricut cartridge)

*Craftwork Cards - Candi Embellishments (Regal Silver, Damask Afternoon, School Days)

*When these Gusset Bags first came out, I thought of how great they would be for all the baked goods I could fit in them. Funny thing is, I have used them for so many things BUT baked goods so far!

*The Capri Suns were the perfect size!

*I LOVE the new flag die. It can be used on so many things! I thought it was the perfect thing for my little penguin to be holding :)

*I added some Candi embellishments for some "water" for my little penguin to splash around in!

I hope you liked my project! I'd love to see some of you make this and share it on the Jaded Blossom Facebook page HERE, or on my Crazy About Cricut Facebook page HERE. TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :O)

Guest Designer Sarah......

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!

Guest Designer, Sarah!

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.
