Martha Stewart Countdown #45 Card Garland

You all know I love garlands! I am still trying to figure out why I love them so much. It might be the fact that they dress up a room in NO time at all! Yeah I think that’s it. Maybe it’s because they are fun to do! Yeah that too! {{teehee}}…

This weekend flew by I tell ya! But I couldn’t help myself with this cute garland. I know everyone is starting to decorate for Christmas and I know someone out there will love this! Keep your mind open with this craft. You can use the same color or the same family of colors. You can make a garland for your Christmas tree or just hang it on something to add some flava flave to your space! Either way this will be a winner in your home and you can say YOU MADE IT!

Use craft punches (or trace a round object and cut out). Attach to heavy thread with stickers; rub with craft stick to secure.  If you really don’t want to do this craft from start to finish you could cheat a little and buy the dot’s!

How pretty is this garland!

So pretty! Remember my stained glass curtain tutorial? I hope you enjoyed this craft and can’t wait to see your pictures! Just email them to me!!

Going cook chicken and stare at my garland, jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #44 Suede Doggie Coat

OH my LAWD! I finally saw breaking dawn today and lemme tell you it was SOOOOO good! I almost freaked out at the end when Bella’s eyes just popped open. I just am not sure how long I can handle waiting for the next part. Why do they do that? I mean the Titanic was like 3 hours long! Don’t get me wrong the Titanic was “it” back in the day! But in THIS day, we want to see blood sucking hot people! {{at-least I do}}

Guess I will have to wait another year for part 2…

Let’s start crafting! This crafteroo was so funny because I kept trying it on Ceaux Ceaux to make sure it was right! She HATED it. Every time I went near her she would try and grab it out of my hand and take off with it. Did I mention she is the fastest dog in the world? Check out her blog HERE and her you tube video HERE!!! I’m telling this baby girl is FUNNY!

Tools and Materials

1/3 yard of fabric (for a 20-pound dog)
Scissors
Erasable fabric marker
Four buttons
Needle and thread

I used some felt because it’s very affordable and you can choose from LOTS of colors! I just used two sheets of felt and sewed them together because Co is long!

After you sew the felt together it’s time to cut your strips that go around the neck and across the bottom!

This is what your strip should look like after you cut it. Drape over dog.  Mark where buttons will hold the straps, across the lower neck and behind the front legs.

I used some old vintage buttons that I had. Sew buttons onto main piece; cut slits in straps. (As dog grows, make longer straps.)

Ceaux Ceaux was so distracted. I wonder if dog’s can be ADD! This thing on her is SOO funny!

She was SO awkward and didn’t know how to move! She just stood there and moved her eyeballs!!! To think there were people out there that didn’t love this dog like she needed to be loved is unreal to me! She’s just amazing!

Seriously. How could you not love this face! I swear she did NOT move until I took it off! I hope this craft is fun and easy for you!

Sending you a strong finger to take tons and tons of pictures of pets, jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #43 Magazine Christmas Trees

Ok! Lemme tell you how much you will go to the ends of the earth to find EVERY magazine available to you! I thought this craft would {{totally}} be very boring and not that much fun to do. It’s not that I EVER really think a craft is boring it’s just sometimes when you have too much repetition it gets um… BORING…I know I don’t make ANY sense at all right now but it’s almost 1 am and I am just catching up on my blog…(story of my life)

Like David Frost once said, But don’t aim for success if you want it; do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. 

Let’s get to crafting before I fall asleep AGAIN on my computer! (imagine that)

Tools and Materials
Old magazines of any size
Spray Adhesive
Glitter in desired colors
Bone folder (optional)

Grab any magazine you want. If you use a big magazine it will make a big tree. I like doing a little bit of both! Open a magazine and bend to break the spine

Fold individual page from top right corner to inside seam. I know, this is not the top right corner but I just took the wrong picture

This is what it should look like when you are done with the whole book

Fold same page from bottom right edge to gutter

You will have a little “nub” on the bottom 

You will need to tuck it in and make the bottom flat

This is what it should look like after you are done with that step

Spray adhesive spry all over the tree

Sprinkle with glitter of your choice! Glitter is available on shop.marthastewart.com.

Seriously. Is this not AMAZING! I know I am COMPULSIVE but gosh darn nit…I want to make a huge amount of these! Just think about it, you could give them as a present for Christmas. I know I would LOVE if someone gave me this. Enjoy Jaderbugs Sending you trees to put on top of your trees, your jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #41 Cork Stamp How-To

Happy BLACK FRIDAY! I hope everyone had a great day yesterday {{we had a blast just ate WAY too much}}… I am very thankful for everything in my life! Life is not about what you DON’T have but what you DO have. Sometimes that can be hard to remember but we always should.! This craft so much fun because if you like making your own cards this will be so much fun for you. You can make your OWN Christmas cards and decorate them however you would like! The best part is your making the designs with CORKS!

So we went “shopping” last night but really didn’t buy anything. We totally went for the fun of it. It was AMAZING! We went to Starbucks and got out coffee then set out to the crazy spots. It was so much fun seeing everyone FREAK out over things that really are not much to FREAK out over. They had a fight and we heard someone even got CUT! WHAT?!?!? Did anyone get hurt trying to get a blue ray or a computer… lol? Share your stories! Everyone loves to hear them! OK let’s get started. I am posting about 10 crafts today because I need to catch up! HELLER… My deadline is like around the corner. So get ready to get “crafted” out today.

Tools and Materials:

Grab some corks

Get your tear drop ink pad

Get some blank cards

Lightly press into the ink pad with the cork of your choice

I decided to do a pea first

See.. HOW CUTE!!!

Fine…Since I love ORANGES we will do one too!

OH! I LOVE GRAPES TOO! See I told ya this was fun!

I decided to use the actual tear drop ink pad to make a design. Just to play around.

I actually LOVED doing this. It reminded me those spin art machines I used to play with when I was a kid! It’s hard to tell but in person you can really see all the different layers. I hope you have fun with craft and BE CREATIVE. After all, that is what life is all about!

P.S. Don’t forget to use fine-tip markers to draw details around the stamped circles: leaves on a radish, a stem on an orange, a pod for peas, and so on.

Hungry for pods full of peas now, your Jaderbomb

Good MERNIN Jaderbbugs! Can you believe I am up this early! I feel asleep last night with my computer on my lap. Yeah! I wanted to do 2 more craft tutorials last night but it wasn’t happening. The UNIVERSE took over my body and brought it to dream land! So I ran across this craft a while back and thought how cool would that be to give as a gift. You know how it is, you have to give someone something but you don’t know what. Well, everyone LOVES embroidery so why not do it in your own home! It’s not REAL thread we are using but just Martha Stewart’s awesome paint! It’s a quick way to personalize a gift. Heck, I made a gift for myself last night! What cha think about that!

I have a BUNCH of linen napkins. They really come in handy when I need to quickly make something! Especially like this…

I was so happy when I got this in the mail because me and stencils are like oil and water.. Jaderbugs! This spray works like magic. It sticks SOOO good and does NOT move at all when your pouncing!  Get some HERE

These stencils are NOT like the decorative ones. Just letting you know. These are made out of paper so you really have to be careful not to tear them. I used the top left letters for this craft! Wanna get some stencils? Click HERE                                                               

I used stencil brushes because if you DON’T then you could possibly mess up everything! These brushes pounce down in just the “right” places! Get some HERE

I used Martha Stewart’s Satin paint. 

In Habanero!

I love love love this! It is so elegant and has a clean and crisp feel to it! 

Sending you so much linen you can make a nightgown of your own, your jaderbomb!
