Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop

Welcome to the Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop. I am so honored to be a part of this hop because I absolutely love all of the Jaded Blossom products! For this hop I created a card, one that will be perfect for Mother's Day.
I used this sweet little girl and sentiment from the Bug~A~Boo stamp set. I colored her with my Copics and used the Jaded Blossom Flag Die in the background. With the exception of Bubblegum Bazzill all paper is Stampin Up along with ink, punches and embossing folder.
Make sure to hop back to Jaded Blossom and grab the awesome free digi stamps and check out the next blogger in the line up. You'll want to be sure to comment on all the blogs because Jaded Blossom is offering yummy blog candy including Echo Park paper, Twine and new treat boxes which have yet to be released, to three lucky winners! Everyone will have
until Sunday evening to complete the hop. Winners will
be announced Monday morning. Thanks so much for
stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my card!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

I've made a few goodies for the girls' teachers for teacher appreciation week. I saw these in a tutorial by Michelle Criswell on the Jaded Blossom site and decided to give it a go.

 This is the 3~D Book Box Studio file cut on my Cameo. The frame and text were also made on the Cameo. The sentiment is a Jaded Blossom stamp and I used their flag die for the numbers at the bottom.

 Inside of the box are 'pencils' that are wrapped Rollo candies with a Hershey Kiss on the end. Also stamped with Jaded Blossom stamps.

These goodies are for the teacher's assistant.

Let's Party

I made this card for my daughter's friend's 15th birthday.

 My daughter requested Aqua, Black and cute. I used "Julie" an image by Kraftin' Kimmie. Colored her with my Copics. I was able to do the black stitching on my Cameo along with cutting the layer. All the Aqua stitching was done with Sakura Souffle pens. I used some Stampin Up ribbon and Doodlebug Twine in Swimming Pool.

This was the inside of the card all cut and printed on the Cameo.

Sympathy card

I made this Sympathy card recently when my stepfather's mother passed away. The card was made with mostly Stampin Up papers, ink, ribbon, stamps and embossing folder except for the sentiment was from Unity Stamps.

This was the best part. I got the pen/marker adapters from Chomas Creations and am now able to write inside my cards using my Cameo. I also used it to cut the frame on the inside.

Split Letter Frame

I should have done a huge post about my Silhouette Cameo when it arrived. This machine is amazing! I made this Split Letter frame and it was very easy!

I altered it in Silhouette Designer Edition. The font is Regal. Unfortunately I can't remember the font for our names. Since this was my first practice one I did it on a cheap dollar store frame which was a bit crooked but now that I saw how easy it was, I'll go get a nicer frame and try again. I cut it from black Oracal 631 Vinyl. Love how it turned out!

Kraftin' Kimmie Baby card

This card was made for a friend who is expecting and she does not know the gender. She wants to be surprised. I wish I could have been that patient lol!

I used a Kraftin' Kimmie image along with sentiment. I colored with my Copics and got her haircolor just right for the new mom! I sponged some Distress Ink around the edges of the oval (cut on my Cameo) All paper is Stampin Up and also the ribbon and sentiment punch. I used Cottage Cutz dies for the pennant, cut the letters on the Cameo and strung it together with twine (I think Divine Twine). Embossed with the Swiss Dots folder and stitched on my sewing machine.

Cooper's 1st Birthday

I made this card for my daughter's boyfriend's baby brother. I used scraps so I don't know what papers I used but I cut the monkey on my Cricut from Create A Critter @ 3", the vine @ 4" and the balloon @ 1.75". Martha Stewart ink and Jaded Blossom flag die. Trendy Twine for the balloon string.
