Anti-bacterial Holders

Hello! It is Crystal here posting for Jaded Blossom's Christmas in July celebration!
I am so very excited to share with you my project today!
 
I am always looking for last minute little gifts to give to people who cross my daily path during the holidays. I love to surprise people with little gifts that make them smile. I gave these little anti-bacterial holders out a few years ago and everyone loved them! BUT--they were kind of a pain to make..so I called on my friend Ann from SVG Cutting Files to help me simplify the process and here is the final result!
 
Snow Bear 
 
 
Here is a side view so you can see the anti-bacterial hand gel inside

I used the Jaded Blossom Winter Wishes for the sentiment. 

The anti-bacterial hand gel holders will be available at SVG Cutting files this FRIDAY!
Here is a direct link to the item in the store--but don't click there now...THEY won't be released until FRIDAY!
 
yep..you read that right..THEY--here are the other 3 adorable files that Ann made!
 
Ginger Cookie 
 
 I used the Flag Die for the flag, and Christmas Wishes for the sentiment.
 
And here is a penguin!
 
 I used the Flag Die for the flag, and Christmas Wishes for the sentiment.
 
And last a snowman
 
 
I used the Jaded Blossom Winter Wishes for the sentiment. 
I put a tulle bow on the tops of each one and they are ready to be given as gifts!
Inside are Bath & Body Works Pocketbacs..I got them on sale 5 for $5.00
 
 
 
 
 I hope you enjoyed  my projects today!
Make sure to stop by the Christmas in July SALE over at Jaded Blossom
 
 
Thank you for stopping by!

I felt kinda silly making a birthday card for myself--so I made a card for my "twin cousin" who's birthday is also today!
I used Jaded Blossom's Layered Frame and Journal Die for the solid blue piece and then used the Flag Die 2 for the flag.
The sentiment is from Sweet Birthday Wishes.
Topped it off with a little On the Edge Lemonade Rumple Ribbon from LoveBug Creations and some bling :)
 
This sweet adorable bear was made by ANNIE KELLY especially for me! It was made from a photo I sent her of the teddy bear I have had since I was 3...Penelope! And in all her AWESOME CRAFTY TALENT Ann made her an SVG file!

Magical Reindeer Food

Hello everyone!
Happy Tuesday and my birthday eve! ;)
It is my day to post for the Jaded Blossom Design Team and
I have a Christmas in July project for you today!
 
 
Here is what I made!
I love this little poem. I made several of these last year for a craft show and they sold very quickly!
The senitments are from Reindeer Poop (revamp)
and the reindeer is from Reindeer Magic (sold out).
I stamped everything on the Journal Die.
I filled a Cone Bag with oatmeal and glitter and tied the bag with some Rumple Ribbon in Rosebud and Green Leaves.
 
I hope you enjoyed my project today!
 
Don't forget about the Christmas in July sale and
 
MY BIRTHDAY HOP TOMORROW! :)
