New Year's Eve Jaded Blossom Guest Designer, Katie Jr

Happy New Year's Eve! I hope everyone is having a fun & safe day! I am excited that Candace & Michelle allowed me to be the Jaded Blossom Guest Designer for today. I love Jaded Blossom stamps & dies. They are fun, practical & easy to use! 

My project features the Jaded Blossom "Happy New Year!" stamp set & the Wine Tag Die to create New Year's Eve treats. I saved toilet paper rolls & twist ties from packages so I could assemble the treat holders. I used white and silver sparkled blue tissue paper as wrapping. The treat holders are stuffed with mints, chocolate candies & confetti. The confetti is actually the Happy New Year's Eve Candy Stamps! How fun is it to rip open the treat holders to have candies & fun confetti circles spill everywhere! 

The wine tag added some much needed pizzazz to bottle of sparkling cider. Blue, Purple & Silver made a fun color combo for this festive set.

Hope you enjoyed the post! May 2015 be filled with lots of crafting!

CHEERS!
