Jaded Blossom Stamp Release Week - Simple Sayings



Hi Everybody!
Have you enjoyed Jaded Blossom's Stamp Release Week so far?? Just a reminder, this release is a little bit different. This time you get to see a stamp set each day that will be released on Friday. So lets keep going with the Simple Sayings set! Here's the project that I made:



*Jaded Blossom - Simple Sayings set, straws
*Stampin' Up! - scallop punch
*Cricut cartridge plastic packaging




*I started by cutting out a piece of the plastic packaging that the Cricut cartridges come in.

*Then using different colors of StazOn ink, I stamped the tree and a sentiment onto the plastic.

*IMPORTANT: I stamped the tree image on one side, and the sentiment on the other.  This helped the sentiment to be seen the most clearly.




 *After I stamped it, I punched out the sentiment with the scallop punch.

*I cut a small slit on each side of the straw to hold the topper.




*I put my hand behind the clear topper so you all can get a better idea of the see through effect :)



I hope you liked my project! Make sure to come back tomorrow for another peek at a soon-to-be-released stamp set!! TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :O)

Jaded Blossom Challenge & Jinger Adams Design Team Entry

Hi Everybody!
Today my project is going to do double duty!  First, I am entering this as my project for the Jinger Adams design team call.  Since Jinger is starting a new path on her crafty adventures, I thought what exciting possibilities this new team has!  I know she will end up with a talented team :)

Second, is also exciting news!  The next challenge is starting over at Jaded BlossomFor this months challenge the theme is.....

 Easter Treats!

Create any type of Easter Treat using a Jaded Blossom stamp somewhere on your project.  Here is my challenge project details:


Cricut cartridges
*Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - bunny heads, flowers
*Paperdolls Cricut cartridge - picket fence, grass


Stamps
*Jaded Blossom - Flag Dies, Bunny Poop set (bunny, sentiment),


Paper
*Echo Park - Holly Jolly Christmas (bunny on right, 2 flowers on left),
This & That (flower on right)
*My Mind's Eye - (bunny on left)


Punches
*Stampin' Up! - scallop punch


Twine

Misc.
*block of florist foam
*jellybeans, and lollypops








*The lollipop sticks were to short, and looked plain, so I stuck them in some of the decorative Straws from JB and they looked much better!










*My Gypsy suffered an "accident" a few weeks ago (gasp!), so I wasn't able to make the grass layer longer to cover the whole block of flower foam.  I had to get creative!  What I decided to do was add a layer of "dirt".  This allowed me the height that I needed :)



Now head on over to the Jaded Blossom blog to enter this challenge, and see the other gorgeous projects from the rest of the design team! TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :O)
