Jaded Blossom - December Guest Designer

Hey everyone!  It's Jaymie from This and That Scraps and today I have the privilege of being one of the December Guest Designers for Jaded Blossom.  

I am a HUGE Jaded Blossom fan and I absolutely LOVE all their stamps and dies--it makes things super easy especially when you want to create something and not break out the computer and cutting machine every single time.   So for today's project, I did just that!   

I bought a few of these Hershey's Candy Cane chocolate bars and made these super cute wrappers to go around them so that I could pass them out to a few of my coworkers.  

For the wrapper, I just measured out a big enough piece of paper to cover my candy bar making sure to go a little longer than I wanted to account for the edging I was going to do.  In this case, I used the 2 zig zag border dies from the Border Dies set.  The bigger border I used to create the edging itself, and the smaller one I used to create the cute little overlay. I love the stitching on these dies! Here is a close up of the edging:

The cute little candy cane is out of the Christmas Dies set and I attached it to a layered based that I created using the Scallop Circle Dies and Stitched Circle Dies sets.  I used clear Stickles to make the candy cane sparkle.  Here is a close up:

And finally I stamped "Happy Peppermint Season" off of the Peppermint Season stamp set, which was perfect for this candy bar! 

Well I hope you enjoyed my fun little treat I made, and I would like to thank Candace and Michelle for choosing me to be a guest designer this month!  Make sure you stop by tomorrow to check out a new project made by another talented guest designer.

Jingle Bells Shadow Box- Santa Sillhouette

Hey everyone!  It's my day to post over at KaDoodle Bug Designs and I wanted to share a project I made using one of the NEW files from KaDoodle Bug Designs designed by Prettygrafik Design--Santa Silhouette.

Since Christmas is right around the corner, I thought this file would be fun to use and make a Jingle Bell Shadow Box.  

For this I used:

An 8x8 inch shadow box that I purchased at Michaels
Black vinyl
Gold glitter paper for the background
Small and large colored Jingle Bells also purchased at Michaels

KBD Challenge--Back to School Theme

Hey all and happy Friday!! 

Today I am hosting a Back to School themed challenge in the KBD Challenges Facebook group. 

 The Challenge  starts  TODAY Friday August 12th and ends Thursday August 25th.  In order to participate all you have to do is join the KBD Challenges Facebook Group and submit a project with a Back to School theme using at least one KaDoodle Bug file. 

***The project needs to be posted in the group prior to midnight on August 25th for a chance to win a KBD file of your choice. 

 For my project, I decided to make a wreath for my cousins son to give to his Kindergarten teacher on the first day of school.  I've seen a few of those Crayon wreaths posted on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect for Kindergarten and decided to give it a try!

 I created my wreath base using 2 embroidery hoops (a 12" and an 8") and a box of 64 crayons and a box of 24 crayons.  This could be done using the one 64 box, but I wanted to avoid using brown. I then hot glued them on to the hoops.

I wanted to decorate my wreath using school items, so I used several files to achieve the look I was going for.  

 School Day Bookworms set: Apple with worm and the stack of books

Cutesy School Owls set:  School bus and the chalkboard

Rockin School Monsters set: Pencils and Scissors

Here is a close up of each one:

For the name, I used some dies that I had on hand-- Jaded Blossom Alphabet Dies and Stitched Square Dies.  The cute little "#1 Teacher" phrase is also from Jaded Blossom off of their School Time Greetings set.

So now that I shared my project, come share yours!  Come join us in the challenge, can't wait to see your fabulous creations! 

I am also submitting this to the Jaded Blossom Challenge
