Believe in Yourself!

Hey, it is Melissa from M Miranda Creations! It's my day to share and I'm excited about how this gift set turned out!!!

 As an older woman, sometimes I think it is important to remind a young lady that no matter what she just needs to believe in herself!!! So that is what this set is about. It will be a gift set to let one special young lady know that I believe in her too!


I decided to make a card and gift box set. The box will be filled with chocolates. Yum!!! For the card, I used Card Mat Dies, Rectangle Dies 2, Bow Dies, Mini Tag Dies 2, and Encouragement.


The box was made from an SVG file from SVG Cuts called Simple Box. I reduced the size so that it would better hold some Ghirardelli Squares. I then used Bow Dies and Mini Tag Dies again - along with Chocoholic for the sentiment.The gray paper is from Co'ordinations and the black card stock is from Papertrey Ink. I added a few black embellishments as well. 

So glad you stopped by to take a look!!!

Thank You so much!

Hello everyone!  This is Cassandra from Creating with Color by Cassandra.  And I'm sad to say it's my last post with Jaded Blossom.  I've made the tough decision to step down from the Design Team.  Life has been a little crazy lately and I need to take some time to get back in balance.  

So I want to take a quick minute and give a big THANK YOU to Candace & Michelle, as well as all of my DT Sisters.  This last year has been a blast and I will miss you all very much.  I've been blogging for several years now and I'm still amazed and so very grateful for the online friendships I have found.  You gals are just awesome and I have loved our time together!  



So for my last project, I just had to use some classic JB goodies. I made these using the Jaded Blossom ~ Folding Gift Card Die and the Jaded Blossom ~ Gift Card Die.  You know how I love giving gift cards!! Didn't they turn out cute?!?


For the white background, I used the layering piece from the Jaded Blossom ~ Goody Bag Die.  To make the pretty flower embellies, I used the Jaded Blossom ~ Jaded Blossom Addict and fussy cut each one.  The thank you sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom ~ Supersized Thank You.  And the other sentiment is also from the Jaded Blossom ~ Jaded Blossom Addict.


Well my creative friends, that's it for me today.  Have a great day!  And thank you all so very much for the bloggy love this past year!  Your comments have meant the world to me.
