This is the first project that I made with this set. I am a Disney fan and this sentiment worked perfectly with this cut!

Here is a close up of the stamp:

I can't tell you how much fun I have had this month, being a part of this creative and talented group of Jaded Blossom designers! Beyond being super supportive these ladies are truly sweet and welcomed me with open arms! I love these stamps and have had a great time getting to play with them and share my creations. THANK YOU SO MUCH CANDACE & MICHELLE! :0)

Valentine treat holder!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! I posted an Easter treat holder last week and wanted to share with you my Valentine's Day version of it! I made this using the same template, scoring in the same places--just made this one a little narrower- 3 inches wide. I put two snack size Butterfinger candy bars standing up side by side inside and decorated the front with some plaid paper. I stamped my Jaded Blossom "I Hoot you" owl and colored him up with my copics and added a little stickles. :0) I hope you like this quick little treat holder as much as I do! :0)

Happy Jaded Blossom Stamp Release Blog Hop Friday!!

If you are coming from Ricketts Cricuts you are in the right place. If you found my post by accident- you do NOT want to miss this hop-so head on over to Jaded Blossom and start at the beginning!! Make sure to leave a comment on each blog so you can win the awesome blog candy Jaded Blossom is offering!!


I LOVE these stamps and I am SO excited that I was asked to be the very first guest designer at Jaded Blossom. This Jaded Blossom design team is AMAZING and super sweet on top of their creativity! I am so happy to have gotten the chance to create with them!!

These stamps are super fun and I made quite a few projects for this hop. (Well, it is my FIRST ONE EVER!) OK so I might have gone a little over board with the projects—but you will too when you get these stamps! They are so fun and so versatile! Let's get to it:


First up I have a treat holder that holds a “Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg” The card stock is 4 inches wide and 10 inches long. I then scored the card stock at 1", 4 1/2" and 5 1/2".

I decorated the front with a polka dot paper and used the Jaded Blossom Petal stamp set “EASTER OWL”. (isn't he cute!) I love this treat holder because you can alter it to fit any size candy you like. Take a look at this!

Next up we have some fun treats bags!! I used a cone bags from Jaded Blossom , some ribbon and added a tag on each. I missed matched the shapes on the tag (oval inside and scalloped circle outside) because I wanted the tags to look “egg” shaped. I used stamps from Jaded Blossom stamp set "EASTER TREATS" and "BUNNY POOP". The first cone bag is filled with “Cheese Nip" crackers and the other one it filled with “Bubble Yum” Easter egg gum balls!

The next project was really, really fun to make! I found these "PEEP" stickers at Hobby Lobby this past weekend and as soon as I saw them this card idea popped into my head! I traced the pink "PEEPS" by using another sticker in the set as a guide. The polka dot paper is from DCWV DOTS STRIPES AND PLAIDS stack. Then I put on some flowers and bling, added a ticket shape punch, added some ribbon from my stash and I used the Jaded Blossom stamp set "EASTER TREATS"!

Well here's your chance to tell me what you think of the projects I made AND enter to win some BLOG CANDY!!!!!!! On top of the prizes that Jaded Blossom is giving away on this release, I've decided to give away some ADDITIONAL blog candy!! To be eligible to win you must leave a comment (include an email or some way for me to tell you if you win) AND become a follower of my blog!

The original card was cute-but plain. And missing something!

SO--I added some grass at the bottom,gave the bunny a super cute bow (and an eyeball!) and added a stamp from Jaded Blossom's new release and
waaa-laaa!

Much better! I made about 12 or so of these cards this winter- when I was feeling not so spring like-I think that the cards are all getting stamped to spruce them up!

February = LOVE

I love St. Valentine's Day! I love sending valentines. I have been working on some fun cards to mail to my family and friends. However some of my crafty friends are doing a card drive to send valentines to those who need a smile this St. Valentine's Day.


Trish and Heather are doing a Valentine's Day Card Project. They are making cards to give to local Nursing Homes for Patients that don't have anyone. Their goal is to put a smile on their face and send them some love. If anyone is interested in helping them they would appreciate it. They will need to have the cards dropped off or mailed to the shop ( address below) by Feb. 10th so that they can be delivered Feb. 13th. They would like to continue with projects similiar to this so if there is a family, a patient somewhere or a organization that they could help by sending them cards to make their day better please let them know.
