Hip Hip Hooray Treat Tube!

 Hey everyone! I am so very excited to share my project using the super fun Hip Hip Hooray collection today! I decided to make a super fun candy tube holder cutting file from the SVG Cutting Files store and embellish it using these great robot stickers. 

I used foam stickers on the backs of my robots to give my box some dimension. The green Fancy Frill stickers, adhered with foam stickers as well, made the perfect little ledges for my robots to stand on and they matched the gears perfectly. 

These little robots are soo fun and cute! Did you notice they are wearing ties?! 

I can't wait to give this fun little gift to one of my nephews on their upcoming birthday! 

I hope you were inspired and excited by how I used the Hip Hip Hooray collection today! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Jaded Blossom March Release Blog Hop!!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's March 2014 Release Blog Hop.   Now if you're here from Kate's Blog you're in the right place, if you're just passing thru start at the beginning because you don't wanna miss anything.  I also have the complete line up at the bottom. If you missed my projects this week here is the highlight of it

As I have mentioned previously, my husband and I were away recently for a wedding in Jamaica and my mom and dad stayed at our house looking after our girls for us. I wanted to make a fun little treat for them while we were away so I put together a fun little popcorn party! 

Here is the front of my large tag...

And on the back, I added a fun little ticket using the gift card die to create a spot to hold it. Since the length of the gift card die is too short to fit the whole ticket, I only ran one end of the die through my Big Shot, and then backed the tag out without running it through completely. Then I measured where I needed the other end of the ticket to be held, taped my die down using washi tape, and ran it through (partially) again. 

My girls love the idea of having a ticket for events so I know I'm going to get good used out of this die! 

Here is what I used to make my tag and ticket...

- Jaded Blossom Ticket Book Die

- Jaded Blossom Ticket Book Stamp Set

- Jaded Blossom Ticket Book Add On

-  Movie Night Card Set from SVG Cutting Files

- Doodlebug washi tape

- Peachy Keen Sweet On You Face Assortment stamps

And of course we have to have a deal for you right? This weekend only you can get the entire release package for $130.99

Regular Price for the Release Package is $135.99

Price for the Release Package will be $141.99 after Sunday Night, 3/16, 11:59pm, pst

1 - Free 2 x 3 Stamp for customers that spend $40 or more before Taxes and Shipping! FREEBIE is only available until Sunday 3/16, 11:59pm pst.

Of course, here is what everyone will receive when they order our New Release.

Doodlebug Lollipop Covers

Hello everyone!  When I first laid eyes on the Kraft In Color Collection my creative mind was spinning! There are so many colors/patterns in this line that making projects with any color combination would be possible. I choose to work with some of my very favorite colors to create something yummy!!

I used some cutting files from SVG Cutting files to make the cutest lollipop covers to add onto birthday gifts. I think kids will love these! 

The lollipops fit right inside and I tied them up using Doodlebug twine using red buttons as cherries. 

On the cupcakes that don't have a cherry, I used some of the new gorgeous Sequins as little sprinkles. Are you ready to eat these yet?! 

 I have a feeling I will be using these sequins on every single project!!

Thanks for stopping by to have a peek at my project! I hope you have been inspired today!
