SVG Cutting Files Color Challenge- Let Freedom Ring!

Hi Everyone!  There is a new challenge at SVG Cutting Files, this month we a color challenge for you. Our spin on it is that you make a project using only 3 colors. You are allowed to use black and white as your freebie colors.  It can be a card, treat box, anything.  Just remember, the project must include something from SVG Cutting Files. 

Projects should be linked on the blog or Facebook Galleria Group by July 14. As always, there is a great prize up for grabs. 

This is the perfect time to do those patriotic cards using the red, white and blue. I used one of my all time favorite dies cuts, Chibi Uncle Sam. 

I also used the smaller dies from each of the Jaded Blossom Flag Die and Flag Die 2 as well as the Mini Tag dies for my sentiment. The sentiment is from the JB Celebrate America stamp set. I added a die cut of a star with some twine. The star die is from My Creative Time All Around Holidays stamps and dies.

All the papers are form Doodlebug's 6x6 Patriotic parade pack. 

I hope you'll join us for this fun color challenge. 

Have a crafty day!!

Jaded Blossom June release Day 2 - Bon Voyage

Yeah- it's day two of the June Jaded Blossom release week. Are you ready for another couple of fun stamp sets?

Today it's seems we are all about transportation with the new Beep Beep and Beep Beep Candies stamp sets. 

I am going to be on a cruise ship later this summer therefore, my project reflects just that. 

I just love this little Tug Boat treat box  (in my case, my little cruise ship) that was just released today over at SVG Cutting Files. 

This little boat goes together so easy with one cut for the top, one for the bottom and a couple little pieces for the embellishments. 

I added a couple flags on a skewer that I cut down for the back of my ship. The flags were made by using the JB Treat Flag die set with a sentiment from the Beep Beep stamp set. 

I wanted my boat to look like it is floating on water so I cut some strips of paper that had a wavy edge ( you could use a punch, wavy scissor, or tear for the same effect) and then trimmed them to measure the length of each side of the treat box bottom.

I attached them to the box bottom with a very thin piece of foam tape at the bottom. This allowed for the box top to slide in between the waves and the box bottom easily. 

I used the Beep Beep candies stamps to embellish the chocolate treats. The box measures 4" wide and 4" tall from the bottom to the top of the smoke tube. Remember, when you open the file, size it at 80% for these measurements. 

Here's a look at the complete stamp sets I used today.

Jaded Blossom June release Day 1 - Yo Ho Ho

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

I am so excited about this release because all the stamps are so super cute. 

We start the week of with the Pirate Booty and Pirate Candies stamp sets. 

I decide on a lollipop cover for today. Kinda reminds me of a sail on a pirate ship.

I started with a piece of  2.5" x 7" piece of card stock paper that I scored at the half way mark on the long side. 

With the card stock folded in half, I placed the inner portion die from the Jaded Blossom Treat Bag Die making sure the bottom of the die was below the fold before cutting. That left me with a strip that now has a cute top on each short side. 

Open up the card stock so it lays flat and scored again .25" on each side of the middle fold. This makes for a flat base for my treat to sit in.

The inner beige mat is made by using the same treat tag die but I trimmed the sides to fit on the black card stock for a layered effect.

The Pirate is from the B is for Boy cricut cartridge with a bit of washi tape behind him. I stamped his face using PKS Boy Mates face stamps. 

Now that the cover was ready, I punched holes on each side of where the stick of the lollipop would be and used some twine to do a criss cross effect to look like the ties on a sail. this will hold the lollipop in place.

The sentiment from the Pirate Booty stamp set is stamped on a flag using the Jaded Blossom Treat Flag die and there you have my Yo Ho Ho treat!

Here's a look at the complete stamp sets showcased today.
