Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

Today I wanted to share with you some quick Valentine's Day treats I made for my co-workers. These were sooooo easy to make! 

I used Jaded Blossom "Nerd" stamp set for the heart and "Sweet Celebration" for sweet treats for you. 

The M&M's are put in 2x3 inch bags. The topper is cardstock cut at 3.25 x 4 and then folded in half to 3.25 x 2. I cut the circle and scallop circle out using my spellbinders. 

Thanks for checking out my blog! Happy Valentine's Day! 

 

Jaded Blossom - Monthly Challenge

Happy Sunday everyone! Michelle and I are super excited to announce the new monthly challenge over at Jaded Blossom!!

This months challenge is to create a Valentine themed project. It can be a card, favor, tag etc. The only requirement is that it must have a Jaded Blossom stamp somewhere on it. Easy! :) There is a prize for the winner! 

Now on to my project.. I cut this gable box and the owl from Silhouette Studio on my cameo :) The stamp is from "I Hoot You" petal. 

I hope to see your project for the monthly challenge linked up soon! :) 

Love!!

Happy Thursday! Today I wanted to share a card I created using the "LOVE" stamp from Jaded Blossom's Valentine Treats. 

The heart is cut from Sweethearts. The background its on is cut from Lucy Labels. The flags that "love" is stamped on was cut from Birthday Bash. 

After I stamped the letters on the flags I used my glitter pen and added glitter over the letters. 

The twine used is from Trendy Twine. Thanks for looking! 

Exciting news coming soon about a Monthly Challenge and Guest Designer opportunities so make sure to check out the Jaded Blossom  blog Sunday to see what its all about! :) 

Trendy Twine - Guest Designer

Hey Everyone!! Happy Tuesday! I am very excited to be a guest designer for Trendy Twine today! I used the awesome Cherry Cupcake twine in my project :) 

So for my project I decided to create a little treat box for my hubby for Valentines day :) I cut the box and the background from Spring Holiday Cards. The heart is cut from Sweethearts and the stamp is from Jaded Blossom "Valentine Treats" stamp set. 

So as you can tell from the picture... twine curls, yay! Its soooo much cuter in person! To curl the twine I wrapped it tightly around wooden dowels and used clothes pins to secure it tight. I then put it in the oven for 25 minutes on 275. After the 25 minutes is up I took it out and let it cool and set for an additional 10 minutes. Then I gently slid the twine off the dowel. That easy! :) 

Do you want to win a twine sampler pack? 

All you have to do is comment on my blog, Trendy Twine's blog and make sure you are a follower of both blogs in order to win. :) 

Cupid Hearts

Happy Monday! Before we get to the project, notice anything different? Yup.. a new blog look! I loved my old look but decided it was time to change it up. What do you think? 

So, today I am sharing with you some treats I made using Jaded Blossom "Trust in Cupid" stamps. 

I got these valentine candy corns at Walmart. The cone bags are also from Jaded Blossom.

Here is a close up of the tag :) 

So what do you think?
