Happy Easter

Happy Easter! 

I'm just popping in quickly today with an Easter treat box I've done for some friends. 

These little bunny boxes are from the silhouette store #76086. The top slides off to reveal hidden chocolate treats. 

I added a little sentiment on the front using my 

JB candy charms and banners dies and Easter Candies stamps. 

Have a crafty day!!

Scrap Your Memories Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scrap Your Memories Blog Hop!

As always, our hops are sponsored by SVG Cutting Files & Jaded Blossom

This hop is for all your scrappers out there that need inspiration on your page layouts, not to mention a quick and easy way to do so!  

24 hours long and ends PROMPTLY at 11:59 PM PST Saturday!

I always have at least one album in the works to scrap. So I love that Ann over at SVG Cutting files is making it easy for me to get those albums done by designing page layouts. All I need to do is cut the pieces and add my photos. 

One of the albums I have in the works is one from a cruise a few years ago. I am about half done. The Cruising Right Along page layout was a perfect fit for my next page in the album. 

The kit includes the die cuts, borders, photo frames and layered title.

I added a few fun sentiments and patterns to my banners using the following Jaded Blossom items....

Beep Beep Candies

SVG Cutting Files Design Day -Squarey Monster Vintagio

Happy Halloween~ I'm here with a SVG Cutting Files Design Day project.

I  put together these cute spooky treats using the brand new Squarey Monster bat called Vintagio. 

 I found the treat box in the Silhouette store (#65731).

I embellished my boxes using the Jaded Blossom, Halloween and Candy Charms and Banner dies. The sentiment is from the JB Halloween Candies stamps.

 Check out all the fun Squarey Monsters today.

 

Happy Halloween!

Too cute to spook!

Hello there and happy Monday!

I have a new treat project today all ready for Halloween treat giving using some spooky Jaded Blossom dies.  

I filled a jar with some of those Halloween peeps and then filled the center with candy corn M&M's.

I added some washi tape around the jar lid before attaching the tag with some black tulle. 

The lid looked a bit plain after all that so I added some pattern paper and a spider web die cute. That was the finishing touch this treat jar needed.

Here's the list of items I used on today's project...

Jaded Blossom September Release Day 4- Monster Munchies!

Wow- the week is flying by and we're on day four of the September Jaded Blossom release week and another peak at yet another "spooky" stamp set. 

I am using two stamps from the new Monster Candies stamp set to make my little monster treats today.

I started by cutting a couple tags using the Curly Label die and then folded them in  half.

I stamped and colored my little monster stamp before using a 3/4" punch to cut them out. 

The scallop circle is from Candy Charms and Banners dies.

The from has the monster and the back has the sentiment stamp. I filled 1x8 bags with coordinating chocolates.

Here is a look at the whole stamp set being featured by the Design Team today.

This hop was another opportunity to add another recipe to my recipe album. The Swedish chef and his chickens were perfect for my chicken recipe. 

The swedish chef and chickens are part of the free file for this hop.

I added a tag and sentiment from using the Jaded Blossom Candy Charms and Banners and the King of the BBQ stamp set.

I also added a skillet for the chicken to sit in. I cut this free hand.

I m trying to challenge myself to use some old supplies in my craft closet so pulled out the brown flocking for Chef's hair and mustache. 

Of course my page needed some more color so I added some veggies from SVG Cutting Files Kawaii veggies. 

.

These chickens with their purple eye shadow just crack me up!

Candy Caddy is a 2 piece die.

It's for sale for $49.99 and NOW available!

Isn't this die amazing??  There are so many ways to use this die or just parts of it. 

Today, I used the larger shaped portion and rolled it up around a candy tube.

I happen to find a tube at the local craft store the right width. But if not you can use the tubes in the Jaded Blossom store and just cut them down to size. 

The little eagle is from the Silhouette Store here. It comes with the stars and the title file. I used the PKS Chickie Faces stamps for the eyes. 

I embellished the ends of the candy tube using the Jaded Blossom Candy Charms and Banners dies and the Pattern Candies stamps. I simply stamped the stars and stripes next to each other before punching out the circles.

Jaded Blossom June release Day 5 - Score!

Happy day- it's Friday!! I have the last sneak peak for the June Jaded Blossom Release week before the big release later today. 

In case you missed my Release Day Projects, here they are:

MONDAY Yo Ho Ho

TUESDAY Bon Voyage

WEDNESDAY  Shark Bait

THURSDAY   BTS Survival Kit

Today we are using the Go Team stamp set. I think this has been long overdue so I am so glad to see this new set coming out. It will come in handy for those end of season soccer parties, football coach thank you's and treats for the little hockey players. 

Well, it's all about hockey in my house with having a son who played hockey most of his school  years and the whole family being hockey fans.

Yes, we are still watching hockey the next couple weeks with the Stanley cup play-offs happening-- Go Rangers!

OK- sorry, I got side tracked. For my project today I am so excited that Annie from SVG Cutting Files did the most adorable Hockey Player treat box for me.

I couldn't just make one, I need a whole offensive line to represent the family favorite teams.

Each little player comes with a  helmet that can slip on or off and the base is large enough to place a sentiment like I did here using the All Start sentiment from the Go Team stamp set. 

When you lift up the hockey player, it reveals a secret spot to put some treats. Each player measures 6" tall including the base  and 2" wide with the base slightly large.

You can really have a lot of fun customizing the faces, hair color, jersey design and breezer color ( breezers are the pants hockey players wear). 

I used the Candy Banner and charms dies along with the Sport Candies stamps to embellish the jersey on each.

These remind me of year-end trophies we would give each player at the year-end parties. 

Here is a look at the complete stamp set being featured by the Design Team today.

Go Team

Be sure to stop by the Jaded Blossom to see what the other great projects the Design Team has to share with you. 
I will be back later with one last project forthe big release.
Have a crafty Day!!
