Easter Bunny Doodlebug Layout


Hi crafty friends!! Today I am over on the Doodlebug Blog sharing a fun layout! 
The new Springtime Collection is so bright and fun - I just can't get enough of it! I have been holding onto some Easter pictures with real bunnies of my daughter and this collection was perfect! 


I knew I wanted to use the new mini garland on my layout even though I was fighting the urge to keep it in packaging it so I could stare at it for months... I love the fun little touch it adds to projects!


Since the garland is stitched, I added some stitching with my sewing machine in a few other spots. 



These tiny little bunnies are over the top cute! To make sure they gained enough attention on my layout, I popped them up using some foam stickers. Next time I use some, I think I'll add some glitter to their ears and bellies! 


I love that Doodlebug has such a range of alphabet stickers that I can ALWAYS find the perfect size and font to suit my projects. The alphabet stickers I used here are the Lily White Teensy Type stickers. I used a scalloped die to cut a circle to place my title on and ran a border sticker along the bottom.



Hopefully my layout has you all as excited to dive into the Springtime Collection as I was!! I am itching for spring to arrive so I can take more pictures of my girls inspired by this collection!!

Hello Sweet Baby Lollipop

Hey everyone!! Today is my day to share a project using Jaded Blossom supplies!! 

 As much as I LOVE my cameo, I think it's awesome to be able to create a project without it using only dies. I took some baby wash clothes from the dollarstore, rolled them up, added a stick to the back and wrapped cellophane wrap around them to make it look like a little lollipop.


I thought this would be a fun little gift to add to the envelope of a baby card, or onto the outside of a gift.

I used a combination of two sets of Jaded Blossom dies (Treat Tag Die and Mini Tag Dies) to make my tag and tied it on with some twine. 


I also used the Treat Tag Die to make the tag on my card and the hexagon die from the Mini Tag Dies to create a fun little pattern. The 'Hello Sweet Baby' sentiment fit perfectly on my banner die, which I popped up using foam stickers to add dimension. 


Here is what I used to make my project...
- Pebbles Special Delivery Girl Collection
- Twinery Twine
- Sequins

I hope you all enjoyed my baby card and lollipop today!! Keep your ears and eyes open for information on the new Jaded Blossom release for April!! It's a super fun one!

Jaded Blossom March Release Blog Hop!!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's March 2014 Release Blog Hop.  
Now if you're here from Kate's Blog you're in the right place, if you're just passing thru start at the beginning because you don't wanna miss anything.  I also have the complete line up at the bottom.
If you missed my projects this week here is the highlight of it
As I have mentioned previously, my husband and I were away recently for a wedding in Jamaica and my mom and dad stayed at our house looking after our girls for us. I wanted to make a fun little treat for them while we were away so I put together a fun little popcorn party! 



Here is the front of my large tag...


And on the back, I added a fun little ticket using the gift card die to create a spot to hold it. Since the length of the gift card die is too short to fit the whole ticket, I only ran one end of the die through my Big Shot, and then backed the tag out without running it through completely. Then I measured where I needed the other end of the ticket to be held, taped my die down using washi tape, and ran it through (partially) again. 


My girls love the idea of having a ticket for events so I know I'm going to get good used out of this die! 


Here is what I used to make my tag and ticket...
- Doodlebug washi tape

Doodlebug Lollipop Covers



Hello everyone!  When I first laid eyes on the Kraft In Color Collection my creative mind was spinning! There are so many colors/patterns in this line that making projects with any color combination would be possible. I choose to work with some of my very favorite colors to create something yummy!!



I used some cutting files from SVG Cutting files to make the cutest lollipop covers to add onto birthday gifts. I think kids will love these! 


The lollipops fit right inside and I tied them up using Doodlebug twine using red buttons as cherries. 


On the cupcakes that don't have a cherry, I used some of the new gorgeous Sequins as little sprinkles. Are you ready to eat these yet?! 


 I have a feeling I will be using these sequins on every single project!!

Thanks for stopping by to have a peek at my project! I hope you have been inspired today!

Jaded Blossom March Release - Day 4!!!

Welcome to Day 4 of the Jaded Blossom March release!! I know today's stamp set is going to be super popular... 



Since my daughter is now in Kindergarten, she gets invited to a lot of birthday parties and I love having a little something extra to add to the front of the envelope on gifts. 


I used the Candy Wrap Dies and some patterned paper to decorate my little chocolate bars. To add a little detail in the center I used some white flowers cut using the Spring Dies.


My little girl is on a treat bag filled with more yummy chocolate! 


- Peachy Keen Face Stamps
- Doodlebug Treat Bag

Jaded Blossom March Release - Day 2!!

It's Day 2 of the Jaded Blossom Release!! Ready for two more awesome stamp sets?! 



Candace and Michelle came out with these stamps at the perfect time!! I recently put on a wedding shower for my cousin and I needed to figure out some prizes to give out for winners of the games. This is what I came up with...


I made a window in the front of a card using the Fancy Topper Die and used the piece cut from the die on the inside of the card to hold the GC. The actual GC was for a coffee shop, hence 'Love is BREWing'. :) Clever, right? 


I filled in the window on the front of the card with clear acetate and popped up the little couple using foam stickers. 

Here is what I used to make my card...
- Jaded Blossom Gift Card and Fancy Topper Dies
- Spectrum Noir markers
- acetate
- Pebbles Garden Party Patterned Paper
