Peace, Love & Cupcakes!

I love going to birthday parties! Especially little girls cause I get to shop for them! We had a 6th birthday party to go to this afternoon and let me tel you, she is a little diva that one! I made her a cute little card, matching envelope and then I jazzed up her gift bag too! 

All the cardstock that was used is American Crafts, as well as the twine and glitter. The stamps came from Jaded Blossom! 

I cut the peace sign, heart and cupcake out with my Cameo (all images came from their online store!) The American Crafts cardstock cuts like butta' with that machine! I used Jaded Blossoms "hey cupcake" set for the sentiment on the front. 

The twine on the cupcake and the glitter on the "flame" is also American Crafts. 

The inside of the card is stamped with Jaded Blossoms "sweet birthday wishes" set.

For the envelope, I used Jaded Blossoms "candy charms and banners dies" for the blue and then I stamped the letters with their "alphabet candies" set. I strung it up with some American Crafts twine. 

The card set together! I only use Close To My Heart ink for all my stamps. I LOVE how it goes on so crisp, doesn't run and lasts forever! 

I got this cute image from the silhouette store. I have all the numbers now cause I loved it! I used fat pop dots to get the 6 a little off the bag. 

And here is everything together! 

Thanks for checking out my post today! Go take a look at Endless Create-A-Bilities for some more fun, simple projects from some crafty ladies =)

In addition to all the fun projects, there is also some prizes and sponsor prizes so check out Ashley's blog for more details! 

I made a fun treat box and card for my project today. 

I used Silhouette's free shape of the week for this fun rainbow and pot of gold! I used my stickles to add gold in the pot and to jazz up the clover. I stamped the cloud with Jaded Blossom's Lucky Treats "follow the rainbow" stamp. I used CTMH ink in Gypsy =)

I also used Jaded Blossom's treat box to hold the M&M's in! 

I made a simple card to go along with the treat. The rainbow is from Paper Piecings by Nikki and was her freebie for the day! I popped the rainbow up with some thick pop dots to stick out a little (& because I couldn't get my wobble to work too good!) I stamped the bottom with Jaded Blossom's Got Candy? set.

Valentine Favors

Nothing like waiting last minute to make 60 favors! Haha! As I was working on them last night, I was thinking....I put (as well as tons of other parents out there) a ton or time and effort into these favors for the recipient to tear them apart in seconds! But, I wouldn't change a thing! I love making them! Each kid picked out a different type of candy this year so I decided to do something different as far as decorating with each favor too!

My 1st favor was for Aidens class. He's in Kindergarten and loves handing out my treats!

I used all Close To My Heart products on these little guys. The tags are cut from the Artiste cartridge. Then I  stamped them with Whooo's Your Valentine stamp set on the front and back and inked them with their exclusive ink in Gypsy. 

For favor #2, I needed to make some for Logan's class. Hes in 2nd grade =)

I used Jaded Blossom products for this favor. The tag is from their new Treat Tag Die which is awesome! The candy-gram stamp is from their "Got Candy?" Set & the To/From is from "Trust in Cupid"

My 3rd favor was for Jayce's 3rd grade class. 

Again, I used all CTMH products here too. Artiste cartridge for the tags and the same Valentine's Day stamp set =) 

Making these on the whim, I thought they came out cute! 

I do sell Close To My Heart (incase you haven't guessed!). I am constantly offering specials/discounts. Email me for more info @ crazy3monkeys@gmail.com

I used my Cricut Imagine for most of my card. All the monsters and the word BOY & #5 are cut from Notebook Doodles. I printed a full page of the images and then I hand cut the monsters and letters that I needed. I used a new sizzix embossing folder for the background and some fabulous gray chevron washi tape from My Mind's Eye. The twine is also MME! Oh...and birthday is cut from my cameo! 

On the inside of the card, I used all Jaded Blossom items. I used the fancy topper die for the back and the happy birthday is stamped from the sweet birthday wishes set.
