Santa Treats!

Everyone! There is a new challenge at SVG Cutting Files, this month we have a "Christmas Treat" theme. Just remember, the project must include something from SVG Cutting Files. Projects should be linked on the blog or Facebook Galleria Group by January 14. As always, there is a great prize up for grabs.

I have a holiday treat bag to share today. I filled a small treat bag with some chocolate kisses. Aren't these cute with the wrappers that look like Santa's hat!

I added the Santa using the Mustache Santa file in the store here.

Here's a list of what I used on today's project......

Jaded Blossom December Blog Hop-Happy Holidays

Hey Everyone!

It's time for the Jaded Blossom December Die Release Blog Hop! To make this hop special, Jaded Blossom has released two new sets of dies and in time for the gift giving season!!

The Design Team has been busy creating not one, but two amazing projects for today's hop.

So grab that cup of coffee and hop along with us!

First up is a quick treat holder.

I simply used the largest scallop oval die and scored it 1/2" on the left and right of the center point on the widest side.

I punched a hole at hte top to tie it closed with some ribbon and slid some chocolate bars inside.

I embellished with the following stamps and dies...

Kawaii Nerdy Winter, Halloween Dies, Merry and Bright, and Mini Tag dies 2

Next up is something for the adults on your list.

I added a a pretty scalloped tag to the front of the wine tag layering the scallop oval and stitched oval die pieces. I then added a pretty sentiment and a couple other embellishments.

The new dies really bring this tag to a level of elegance.

JB goodies I used on this project are...Wine Tag die, Christmas Dies, Christ is Born and Elegant Holiday Greetings

Now here is a look at both sets of dies released today.

STITCHED OVAL DIES- $22.99

Baked with love!

Today is my design day over at SVG Cutting Files and today am sharing a treat project using a new file in the store just today. Perfect for those homemade goodies.

The base box is a kraft box you can find on the Jaded Blossom site. I added a snow print border frame to the top before adding the icicles across the top.

I love this baker girl- need to use her on a few scrapped recipe pages for holiday cookies.

Goodies I used today are:

My little Christmas treat inspiration is a package of chocolates. The ticket die works great for adding headers to many store bought packages.

The little elf is from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Just Stuff-it Blog Hop!

Welcome to the LAST Blog hop of 2015 from the Jaded Blossom and SVG Cutting Files Design teams!!

This is our Just Stuff it Hop!

Great little small gifts and stocking stuffer inspiration for you to whip up for the upcoming holiday!!

The DT has been busy creating little projects with a big bang! EOS lip balm is all the rage these days so my project today is a treat ornament using one of those lip balms.

The SVG file can be found in the SVG Cutting Files store here.

You can put this together in a matter of minutes making it a perfect last minute stocking stuffer.

I added some little touches by embossing the beard and hat brim with divine swirls and swiss dots embossing folders.

The holly was added using the Jaded Blossom Christmas Dies and the finishing touch of a simple holiday sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Merry & Bright stamp set.

This hop is ONLY for 24 hours and will end PROMPTLY at 11:59 PST TONIGHT!

This hop is set up DIFFERENTLY then ones in the past, so please read accordingly.
