July Favors

Good morning!  I just love these wands from Jaded Blossom!  
I love making treats for the holidays and handing them out at work--so these were perfect!
The pinwheel is a file I got off the Silhouette Store and was quick and easy enough to assemble 15 of them in no time!  
The patterned paper I used was from Pebbles "Let Freedom Ring" collection. The combination of stripes and dots were perfect!  
I attached the pinwheel to the  clear wand from Jaded Blossom with a big brad I picked up at Michaels and filled the tube with red, white and blue Sixlets.
Of course this couldn't be complete without using the flag die!  
I stamped the word "Celebrate" off of the "Miscellaneous Fun" set using ink from Stampin' UP.  

I hope you enjoyed my festive treat as much as my coworkers did!  

Thanks from stopping by

Jaded Blossom July Challenge

Hey all,
it's July and it's time for a new challenge with Jaded Blossom!
This month is really exciting for me because  I have been given the opportunity to be the guest designer for their July release --you are going to love them!  

The challenge this month is to create ANY party favor with ANY Jaded Blossom Stamp.  
Since we all know July is the month for fireworks, I decided to make a cute little treat holder.



The sentiment I used was "Celebrate" off of the Jaded Blossom's Miscellaneous Fun set.  I wanted to add a little dimension so I stamped the star off of that set  as well and pop dotted it and used twine from Twinery as the tail


I found this cute little sparkler bear girl on the "4th of July Bears" file from Scrapping Bug Designs. With the little stars on her shoes and dress straps, I thought this star patterned paper was perfect!


I hope this has inspired you to join the July challenge, thanks for stopping by!
