Pearly Sparkles June Challenge ~ For the Boys/Men

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time to share my monthly challenge card for Pearly Sparkles.This month we want you to create something "for the boys (men)!"
This is a birthday card I made for my hubby.

I love this image from Stamp Anniething.  I just had to add the party hat! The layered sentiment is from Jaded Blossom and I colored using Copic Markers.
I hope you'll play along with us this month.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends~ Your Next Stamp Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new sponsor on our Passionate Paper Creations & Friends FaceBook page, Your Next Stamp.
I used the Birthday Song stamp set to create this happy shaker card.

I just love characters that make me smile and these dogs are just having too much fun.

 I used patterned paper as the sentiment.  I wrapped the patterned paper with cellophane and added sequins before closing it (easy way to make shaker card without using acetate), then adhered the die cut mat.  I cut the top mat with patterned paper and foam to add a little dimension between the mat and shaker.

Your Next Stamp is offer a special discount to those who visit and join our PPCF page.

Thanks for stopping by,

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Prickley Pear Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new sponsor at Passionate Paper Creations & Friends.
This weekend's sponsor is Prickley Pear.  The store offers a wonderful variety of stamps and dies.Be sure to visit the PPCF group on Facebook.  If you haven't joined the group be sure to do so to take advantage of a special offer from Prickley Pear.
Here's my project using the Build an Umbrella stamp and die set.

To build this cute little scene, I stenciled the background and then arranged the die cuts.  Then I placed the two clear stamps where I wanted them (ducks and flowers), moved the die cuts aside and stamped.  I used Copic markers to add color to the stamped images and then rebuilt the scene.

I hope you'll join us at PPCF and also visit our sponsor's website.  We appreciate your support of all of our wonderful sponsors.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Di's Digis Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
Di's Digis is sponsoring our PPCF Facebook Group this weekend.Be sure to visit and if you'd like to receive a special offer, simply JOIN the group - easy peasy.
I used the digi image, Love You Tons, to make this fun birthday card.

This image was colored using Copic markers.  I used dies from LaLa Land Crafts (presents and music notes) and Jaded Blossom (ovals) to complete the card.  The patterned papers are from Doodlebug Designs.
Thanks for stopping in.  We always appreciate it when you support our PPCF sponsors.

Cut it Up Challenge #251 ~ Any Animal or Insect

Hi Crafty Friends,
Yay!  There's a new Cut it Up Challenge posted.For this one we'd like to see any animal or insect, and don't forget to add a die cut!
I used stamps from our sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays to create this card.  

First I used the "Flowery" background stamp and then colored and die cut a matching flower from the Flower Duo set.  The Hello sentiment was stamped directly on the background.  I added the Bee using a die set from Lala Land Crafts.  I also used the Stitched Rectangles from Jaded Blossom.  The flower was colored using Copic Markers.  This would be such an easy design to mass create using different colors on the flower and mat.
I hope you'll play along with us.  The prize will be a gift voucher from CAS-ual Fridays.

Heard the Buzz

 Hi Crafty Friends,

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

I was going through my birthday stamps file and decided to use this older stamp because I think this JB Bee is just adorable.

I stamped the image on Neenah Desert Storm and then colored using Copic markers.  I did use a Prisma pencil for the white.  I made a stencil out of the Honeycomb Card mat die and inked it up, again using Neenah Desert Storm and Distress Oxide inks.  I added a few cells from a previous die cut.  I added a second bee to a die cut flower just for fun!

Jaded Blossom May Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's the first Sunday in May so that means a new Jaded Blossom Challenge.
This month is an Anything Goes challenge so the only guideline is that you must include a Jaded Blossom product.I still need a few more Mother's Day cards so here's another one for my stash.

I love using the basket from the Octagon: Easter Add Ons, it's so versatile.

I also used the Octagon Treat Box (basket background), Flower Dies, Mother's Day stamp set and Outline Dies.

I hope you'll play along this month.  The winner of the challenge will receive a stamp set of choice.

Hope your May is off to a wonderful start.
