Pearly Sparkles April Challenge ~ Anything BUT a Card

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for a new monthly challenge at Pearly Sparkles.This month we're asking you to share anything BUT a card.  Yay!  It's time to show us other crafty things you enjoy making.
I love treat boxes.  They are fun to make and I hope they are enjoyed by their recipients.Here's a cute little Easter basket I made using stamps and dies from Jaded Blossom.

I used the Octagon Treat Box die set along with the Spring Clear Jar Add On stamp set.  The peeps were colored using Copic Markers.  Everything was cut using the Gemini Jr..
Just follow the link above to join in this month's challenge.

Happy Easter to my Peeps

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

Today I made a quick Easter card.

For this card I used:

Easter Candies - grid style

Blessed Easter

Blessed Easter Outline Dies

Triangle Card Mat Die

If the items you want are currently sold out, be sure to add your name to the restock notification list!

I actually had the frame in my stash of extra cuts from a previous project.  I ran the triangles through my Cuttlebug using the dotted swiss embossing folder and then mounted the frame and triangles over a mat cut from the Doodlebug Designs Easter pad.  The peeps were stamped and then fussy cut - easy peasy.  I just added the sentiment with an offset and some baker's twine. 

Thanks for stopping in today.  

Cut it Up Challenge #248 ~ Spring

Hi Crafty Friends,
Woohoo!  We're celebrating the arrival of spring at Cut it Up Challenges.
Our sponsor, Taylored Expressions, provided the team some delightful products to use for their sponsorship.
Here's my card using the Spring Spray stamp set and coordinating die, and the Circles Masking Stencil set (LOVE!)

I heat embossed the image on watercolor paper and then painted with Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints.I used the masking stencil and the Jaded Blossom cloud stencil to create the background.  I also did some ink blending on the background and patterned paper edges.  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Basic Word Die set. Finally, I added a few sequins to add a touch of bling.
I hope you'll join our spring challenge.  Just post your project to the link above.  You'll be entered to win a gift voucher from our wonderful sponsor.

The "Celebrate" die is from our sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays.  The burst is from the Silhouette Design store.  I added an offset to create the yellow layer, added a font title, and then printed it out.The image and design papers are from Stamp AnnieThing.  I colored using Copic Markers.
Be sure to visit the Cut it Up blog to see all of the design team's interpretations of the theme.  There are some amazing projects.
We look forward to your entry and your chance to win a gift voucher from CAS-ual Fridays.
