Enjoy the Movies!

Today is my design day over at SVG Cutting Files.

My project today is a gift card holder that is new in the store today called the Pop Up GC holder. It's super easy and a great file to have on hand- it's so simple to put together.

I themed my card today for the movies.

The little girl and box of popcorn are also SVG Cutting Files called Watermelon Girl and Movie Night. Obviously she is not eating watermelon! I combined the two files and my result is this little gal hiding behind her overflowing popcorn box. No worries-- what's inside isn't scary at all.

See, it's movie tickets!

This gift card holder has a pocket in the middle where you can easily slip in a gift card or tickets.

The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Gift Cards Galore stamp set

Finished size of the card is approximately 4" when folded.

Have a crafty day!

No Clowning Around!

Happy Monday!!

It's my day over at the Jaded Blossom Blog and time for another project using this month's featured stamp set, Fish On.

This time- there are no fish. However, one of the sentiments in this stamp set works well for my project today.

I decorated this super cute trapezoid box with this little clown and filled it with some chocolates. Love those face clown face stamps from PKS. However, I gotta admit, it took me about 5 faces to get is stamped and colored how I wanted it.

Here is the rest of the cool stuff I used to put this treat together...

We hope you all enjoyed our projects this week. As you know we have one more stamp set and our June Freebie.

In case you missed my Release Day Projects, here they are: Monday: Home Sweet Home Tuesday:Cool Treat Wednesday: Music to my ears Thursday: Retirement

Today I am using the June Freebie stamp to make this little treat card.

I started with a piece of card stock measuring 4.25"x5.5".

I layered pattern paper cut using the Scallop Slider and Topper Die

I then punch a hole for the lip balm and added a cone shape using this months freebie stamp set so it looks like my lip balm is a delicious scoop of ice cream.

Finished it off with a little sentient from the Ice Cream Candies and the Candy Charms and Banners dies.

Here's a look at the the full set of stamps and the freebie released today...

Jaded Blossom June Release Day Four- Retirement

It's Thursday and day four of the June Jaded Blossom release week.
What a great week and so many fantastic ideas using these new stamps and dies.

I know I am always looking for sentiments for cards for coworkers, well now there is a stamp set devoted to just that.

For my card today, I created a special pattern paper and used the same stamp pad to die my ribbon to match.

I used the Hibiscus and Spring Bingo stamp sets to create a pretty pattern paper. I then cut strips using the JB flag 2 dies. I layered a border on top of those strips using the Border dies and finishing it with my ribbon.

To get the right color ribbon, I used a piece of tea died ribbon I had in my stash and rubbed it across the ink pad I used for my flowers. An hour later when it was dry, I had a piece of custom colored ribbon!

Stamps are a great way to customize pattern papers.

Here is a look at the complete sets of stamps and dies being featured by the Design Team today.

Welcome to day two of the Jaded Blossom June Release week!

It's warm out and time to enjoy cool refreshing treats known for in the summer.
Today's stamps are perfect for my "cool" treat project.

With today's stamps as my inspiration, I made a cone that is filled with a rolled spa sock to look like an ice cream cone. The cone is topped with a lip balm to look like a cherry on top of the ice cream.

I tied up the treat in a cone shaped bag, added some ribbon and a tag made with today's release stamps.

My son has been running a few Marathons this summer so I decided to use this marathon Minion for a 12x12 scrapbook page layout.
