Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop

Happy Friday! And welcome to the Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop! If you are here from Jaded Blossom then you are in the right place! If not click on the logo below to go back to the Jaded Blossom blog to find the line up and check out all the details!




There are a ton of amazing crafters in this line up, please make sure to check them all out. There are some PRIZES up for grabs as well! All you need to do is comment on all the blog for your chance to win!

Now on to my project!! Here is what I made..

A school bus! This is so cute, I might just have to make another one for myself. All the animals are on their way to school with an apple for their teacher.

This was really easy to make... I cut the bus shape and then added the front and back of the bus with Jaded Blossom's Layered Journal die. I attached front and back panels with 1/4 in paper strips that I scored. The base to hold the lollipops inside is made with the journal die too.



The worm's apple is from Jaded Blossom's Fall Die set. The trim on the bus is cut with the boarder dies.  Below is a close up of the mouse bus driver.


Here is the other side, Rex the dog is carrying his apple in a dog bowl. The wheels on the bus (they go round and round) are from Jaded Blossom's Stitched Circle dies.


Here is the back of the bus... Miss Hedgehog is so cute in the window!

A lovable Skunk

Hello everyone! Today is my post over at the Stamp Annie Thing Blog.  My card today features the skunk from the lil series.  To make the background, I stamped the skunk and then cut out a mask with the same image. After I applied the mask, I inked the background with distress ink, Salty Ocean and Mowed Grass. The skunk is colored with Copic Markers.  One of the sentiment stamps is on a mini tag die from Jaded Blossom.

Hoppy Birthday Frog

Hello Everyone! Today is my post over at Jaded Blossom.  I found this adorable frog at the Silhouette Design Store and thought he would be super cute with Jaded Blossom Stamps.  The main sentiment is from Honey Bunny. The tag was made with the Stitched Circle Dies and Scalloped Circle Dies. I added a loop with some white twine so I could attached the tag to the handles.
The two stamps on the left are from Birthday Candies 2 and the one on right is from Forest Animal Candies.

Here is a closer look at the tag~

And now for my projects!
This treat holder was made with Jaded Blossom's Candy Caddy Die.  The side is decorated with Scalloped and Stitched Circle Dies and the New Alice Squaredy Cat. The sentiment fits perfectly on a mini tag die. 

Here is a peek at the candy inside the holder. I used the candy wrap dies and NEW Wonderland Candies for the candies. They are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers for a pop of color.

I could not resist coloring up the cute Alice stamp. I gave her a funky look with non-traditional colors. To make an quick card base, I folded a piece of paper and layered the Scalloped Square die so it would not cut through on one side. Then I added a full Scalloped Square to the top of the card. The inner mat is the Stitched Square. I cut an additional layer with a Perfect Layers Ruler.

Baby Word Mini

Hello! Today I get to post a special project on the Jaded Blossom blog. Here is mini word book for a new baby.  I love to spell out the baby's name but lately my friends and family have been naming their children with very long names.  I find that names longer that six letters are just too big to make this style of album. The base to this album is new from SVG Cutting Files. The book is decorated with stamps and dies from Jaded Blossom. I added a few items from SVG Cutting Files' Kawaii Baby Things as well. The new Stitched Square and Circle dies are used for photo mats. When I give these as gifts, I include a template so they can crop their photos to fit the photo mats. If the new mom was crafty, sending a set of dies along with the word album would be a great idea. :)


Here is a peek inside~

A Snail's Message

Hi! Today is my post over at Digi My World. A couple of releases ago this adorable snail showed up at the store. I have been dying to color him. He is colored with Copic Markers. I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo. The paper I always color on is not special at all... I color on Georgia Pacific 110 pound card stock paper.  (I get mine at The Wal Mart's office supply section) Some of the "high end" papers don't agree with my printer and I have found this paper cuts well on my Silhouette too.  I picked out a few distress inks and made a background for my snail. (dusty concord, salty ocean, and peeled paint)
