Jaded Blossom: Reindeer Blend Party Favors

 Happy Friday everyone! I had another AHA moment recently with the Coffin Die. If you are like me, you're looking for ways to get the most bang for your buck when purchasing dies. Well, I just realized you can use the Coffin Die for Christmas to make Rudolph's face for various Christmas favors. To create the ears I used the Mushroom Die. His antlers were created using parts of the Tiki Hut Dies. Googly eyes and a red pom-pom for the nose finished them off. Aren't they CUTE?!


Since the challenge this month is HOLIDAY TREATS, I wanted to show you guys various ways you can package hot cocoa using these adorable Reindeer. I created sentiment tags for all 3 using the Label Shape Dies, Hot Cocoa Stamp Set, and Reindeer Blend Stamp Set. 

For the first sample, I used 3 of the 1x6 Inch Clear Tubes from the Jaded Blossom Store. I filled one with hot cocoa mix, one with mini marshmallows, and one tube with crushed candy canes. I used a rubber band to secure the 3 together and then wrapped them with a wide striped ribbon. Those cute candy cane spoons are from the Dollar Tree.

For the next project, I filled Cone Bags with hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows and crushed candy canes. I tied off the tops and then tied on a candy spoon and the tags.

My last project uses the Scallop Caddy Die to hold the hot cocoa mix, marshmallows and mini candy canes. I used the new Buffalo Plaid Stencil to create the pattern on the box.

We hope you play along with us in our November Challenge for a chance to win a FREE Stamp Set!! Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

Dies R Us: EVERGREEN REINDEER

 Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm on a buffalo plaid kick lately. Last week was red, buffalo plaid. Today I'm showing you how I created a green, buffalo plaid Christmas card.


The first thing I did was die cut the Memory Box Evergreen Reindeer from green, buffalo plaid paper.
 

 I was originally going to keep it as is, but I felt like the trees were a little lost so I cut it down to a square. Then I decided I wanted the deer to be a black silhouette so I colored in the deer with a black sharpie. The deer needed some more thickness so I die-cut the deer from black cardstock twice, cut the deer out, and glued the layers together. 
 

Next, I added foam tape to the back of the green buffalo plaid panel and decided to back it with some wood looking patterned paper.

Then I went on the search for background paper. I decided to stick with green and black.


I used the Yvonne Creations Merry Christmas die again. I don't see this die in the store right now, but Dies R Us has several that would work HERE. I cut it multiple times so I could layer them for more thickness.


The final step was putting it all together and adding a bow to the top. 
 

Here are the products I used:
(the one from Yvonne Creations is no longer in the DRU Store, but this link will take you to other options that will work)


Don't forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month, and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.  For your convenience, all the important Dies R Us links are provided below.

Jaded Blossom: November Release BLOG HOP!

Now if you're here from Cindy's Blog you're in the right place. If you're just passing through start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I also have the complete line up at the bottom.

For my project today, I created a sugar cookie gift set. I found this awesome pot holder set, gnome cookie cutter, and silicone spatula at Target that totally coordinated with the Fair Isle Stencil and gnome stamps.
 

To create the large tag, I used the Fair Isle Stencil on red cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I cut that piece with the Scallop Caddy Die. Next, I cut white cardstock with the Tag Treat Die and splattered green and red ink over it. I stamped the gnome from the Gnome Christmas Tags Stamp Set and the cookies from the Clear Jar: Christmas Add Ons on Xpress It Blending Card and colored them with Copics. I fussy cut them out and placed them on the tag with foam tape.

Copics:
Skin: E00, E21, E13
Hair: N2, N4
Red: R24, R27, R29, R56, R89
Black: C5, C6, C7
Bell: C1, C3
Cookies: E33, E51, R27, G19, C0, C2 
 
When I added the tags together, I just attached the tops together with the twine. I didn't glue the white panel to the red panel because I wanted the stencil design to be seen (and it can be reused by the recipient on something else).
 
 

And of course we have to have a deal for you right? This weekend only you can get the entire release package for 
$104.99
Regular Price for the Release Package is $114.99

 Free 4x6 stamp set for customers that purchase the November Release Package! FREEBIE is only available until Sunday 10/4 11:59am pst or while supplies last.

For Sneak Peek Day 3, I created another mug gift set this time featuring all things Santa! I used the Treat Tag Die to create the shape of the tag. I heat embossed the Santa stamp from the You've Been Mugged Stamp Set in white embossing powder. Then I stamped the image again on Copic Xpress It Blending Card so I could color the Santa mug and holly with Copics. I then fussy cut the Santa and holly and glued them to the red tag.


Mug cakes seem to be all the rage right now so I thought with the sentiment on the tag they would go perfectly inside this adorable Santa mug.

For Sneak Peek Day 2, I created a mug gift set featuring all things Reindeer!
I used the Scallop Caddy Die to create the shape of the tag from red cardstock. I got the Rudolph Reindeer Mug and Cone Favor Bags from Amazon.
 
 
I filled the bags with the contents of 2 hot chocolate packets, mini marshmallows, and crushed up candy canes. On the outside, I tied on a packet of instant coffee and the tag which was created using the Reindeer Blend Stamp Set. Now the recipient can make some Peppermint Mocha!

For the candy bag, I used some small kraft paper bags and added the pattern using the Fair Isle Stencil and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. I think this stencil would be great for making your own wrapping paper also. Then I pulled out some Shrinky Dink plastic from my stash and made a little charm to go on the front of the bag.....soooooooo CUTE!! I filled the bag with some peppermint candy.

Dies R Us: Reindeer Scalloped Circle Frame Christmas Card

 Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I'm showing you how I created this simple, gold embossed Christmas card. I love gold embossing powder and the way it brings elegance to a card. 


 The first thing I did was die cut the Memory Box Reindeer Scalloped Circle Frame and Yvonne Creations Merry Christmas Die from black cardstock. I don't see this Merry Christmas Die in the store right now, but Dies R Us has several that would work HERE. 


Next, I used a makeup blender brush and tapped the embossing ink over the deer and the Merry Christmas. Since these dies are intricate I did not rub the brush back and forth over the die-cuts because I didn't want to tear the paper. Tapping works perfectly.


Then I sprinkled Ranger Gold Embossing Powder on top of the die cuts over a sheet of printer paper so it's easier to put the excess powder back into the jar.


Another thing I like to do with intricate dies is to die cut several and layer them to make them more sturdy. I cut 3 extra of the deer and Merry Christmas from black cardstock and glued them all together.


To finish it off, I added some buffalo plaid paper and a small red blow.


Here are the products I used:
