It is a Kindle! What nerd doesn't love to read!? (my idea of a nerd likes to read...I think I am behind in the idea of what a true nerd is!)
 
I used the SVG Cutting Files BRAND NEW Kindle Slide Card
I love love love this new slide card! It came out perfect!! So perfect I was afraid to embellish it! So I left it pretty clean and simple.

Welcome Spring!

Hello everyone! Today is my day to post for the Jaded Blossom Design Team!
 
I am so excited for Spring! I may be a little ahead of things with this card - but I am trying to hurry the process of winter.
 
Here is the card I made:
 
 
The daffodil is a brand new file from SVG Cutting Files
(isn't it beautiful?!)
I layered some pattern Echo Park paper and some solid paper from my scraps.
The flower is mounted on the Fancy Topper Die. The sentiment is from Easter Treats 2.
I added some of my favorite twine from Trendy Twine in the colors Lemon Tart and Limeade.
 
I hope you enjoyed my card today!
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day! :0)
 
I am also entering this card in the SVG Cutting Files Challenge = Pastels.

SVG Cutting File Love Challenge

Hello everyone! I have a cute valentine to show you today!
 
 
I made this M&M treat stick to submit to the SVG Cutting Files Love challenge!
I used a Jaded Blossom 1x8 clear bag, and the stamp set LOVE BUNNY, as well as the new TREAT TAG DIE.
I used the cutest little bunny from SVG Cutting Files called SWEET BABY BUNNY
As soon as I saw this sweet little bunny I saw this treat in my head! I am so happy it turned out just how I imagined! I love these files because of the base that comes with the cut........and  more importantly because the owner Ann is a very generous and sweet lady!
 
You can link your project HERE !
 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Jaded Blossom Easter-ish Release Hop!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's February Release Blog Hop.  So did you enjoy all the projects this week?
Isn't this Design Team AMAZING?!
 
I know I say this every month......but I just <3 this release!!
Now if you're here from Ashley then you're in the right place, if you're just passing through start HERE at the beginning because you don't want to miss the awesome projects! :0)
If you missed my projects this week here is a picture!
 
So remember earlier in the week I said that Java Time was my favorite stamp set this release!? Well here is why!! :0)
All the little sentiments fit in the the cup that the cutie is holding AND on the bottoms of all the candies!!! Oh yeah--and the coffee beans fit too!!!

Take a look at my project to see what I mean:
 

See how those little sentiments fit PERFECTLY on the bottoms! They all fit in the 3/4" punch!

I made this coffee mug using a template I found HERE. It gave very good instructions and it was easy to put together!

I used a circle shape from the Silhouette Store for the circle layers tag.
and ALL the stamps came from Jave Time!

In the coffee mug is a cone bag filled with Hershey Kisses!

I topped it off with a little NEW Pink Midnight TRENDY TWINE!
 
 
And please note,  Bunny Poop Revamped is NOT included in the February Stamp Release package 
We decided to revamp this set, since a lot of you may already have it, we left it out of the package. So if you want to purchase it make sure to ADD it to your cart
We also have a freebie for the first 65 customers that spend $45 or more (not including shipping) (and this set is not available for purchase!)
SO-
order quickly! This release is sure to sell FAST! :)
