SVG Cutting Files & 52 Christmas Card Challenge



Happy Sunday Everyone!!  I hope everyone has had a restful fun filled weekend!

This week’s challenge over at 52 Christmas card throwdown is a color challenge; 3 shades of blue.  I will also be entering this card and another project into the SVG Cutting file challenges that ends on the 14th; anything Christmas.

As always I am using Jaded Blossom & SVG Cutting files products.  I used the SVG Cutting File Snowman Slider Card and I resized it to 80% twice.  This is so I could use it to fit on a standard A2 card (and use the Jaded Blossom Card Mat Dies)



I have used the following Jaded Blossom products:

SVG cutting files Snowman Slider Card
JB Card Mat Dies
JB Flag Die
JB Winter Wishes stamp set
JB Christmas Wishes stamp set
Peachy Keen –Kawaii Faces @ 1”
Stampin’ up Night of Navy ink
Paper from my stash

52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge


Friday is here!  Hello and I hope everyone is having a craftasticable day!  I am so excited that this is my third post this week. 

My "adopted" Grammy, who lives in a care home, loves to send greeting cards. It is a way for her to feel connected to others and brings joy to the card recipients. I love to make cards and have offered to be her "supplier"....of greeting cards :) Everyone wins in this situation--Grammy stays in touch and reaches out to others, I have even more of an incentive to participate in challenges and grow as a paper crafter, and card recipients are blessed with a personalized gift. 

As always I am using Jaded Blossom products.  Here is my first Christmas card of 2015  that i am entering into the first challenge of the year over at 52 Christmas Card Challenge.  (drum roll please, hehehe)


Of course a close up.  I love how this snowflakes stamps!


I have used the following Jaded Blossom products:

Candy Wrap Dies – Sentiment
Elegant Holiday Greetings – snow flake and sentiment
Stampin’ up Pacific Point ink & paper
Doodle Bug Sequins
Rhinestones from my stash

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!
