Glittered Pumpkins

Happy Sunday to all you Jaderbugs out there! This weekend FLEW by. Don’t get me wrong I had a blast but sometimes when you have so much to do it is over before you know it. This craft was so much fun to make. What I love the most about it is that you can do it with your kids! Martha has so many stencils, you are bound to find more than one you will fall in love with.  I used the ones that looks like leaves and ferns. I thought it went with the whole “earthy” effect.  Martha covered her pumpkins completely with glitter and those are super cute also.  I just LOVE the pretty orange color and I though by putting my stencils in certain spots it would give the feel of a “real” pumpkin behind the patches of glitter.  Don’t forget I linked all of the products I’ve used at the bottom of this post!
Let’s get started!!! 

p.s. You will need pumpkins (fake or real), Martha Stewart glitter and Martha Stewart Metallic paint.
p.s. You will need foam pouncers and stencils.  Make sure you get Martha’s brand because they adhere to whatever surface you put them on. And the awesome thing is you can use them over and over!
p.s. These are the stencils I used! As you can see I just placed it wherever I wanted on my pumpkin!
p.s. I put some gold paint on my foam pouncer then started pouncing away!
p.s. I used some green glitter for the “leaves”…This glitter gives the best coverage that I have ever seen! Make sure you pour it over something so you can pour the leftover’s back into the container.
p.s. Tadahhhhh! How cute! I added some orange leaves at the bottom {{I know they look red lol}} but I promise they are orange! OH! I also glittered the stem.
p.s. How cute is this baby!
I hope you have a blast doing this craft and be creative with it! I have some more I am working on and can’t wait to share them with you!!!!
Sending you an unlimited supply of bright orange pumpkins,

Butterfly Clip Art Printables

Howdy all you little jaderbugs! I hope your Tuesday went “awesiamo”! Is that a real word?  So I have tried to do this post like 10 times today but something always came up! NOW, it’s 10:30 and I am sitting here trying to finish while catching up on all my TV shows that I missed in the last week! I have 98% memory left! {{paahahah}}…..Can you believe they are all reality shows too!!!!
Onto the craft! I just wanna tell you that once you start using Martha Stewart’s glitter you will have a major glitter addiction. For the rest of your life! When I saw this craft on her website I fell in love because I find butterflies so fascinating. I wanted to jaderbomb these babies in a my own way so I decided to add….. come on guess… GLITTER!!!!!
I can’t even explain how awesome these babies came out! You have to do these and be creative with the glitter you use! Her colors are so bold and they cover so nicely!
p.s. You will need scissors, glitter glue, glitter and butterfly template.
p.s. The picture on the left just has glue on it and you just sprinkle glitter right on top.
p.s. Look how pretty with just ONE color!!!
p.s. These are the colors I used for one of the butterflies.

p.s. These are the 3 colors I used for another butterfly.
p.s. OMG! Have you checked out the names of these babies! They are FABULOUS!
p.s. Look how pretty they are! I can’t explain to you just how easy these were to make!

p.s. Tadahhhhh



I hope you enjoy this craft because I did!

Glittered Spiderweb Hurricanes

The Martha Stewart Show on Hallmark Channel
Hey there my little Jaderbugs! New York was AWESOME! When one of the producers of The Martha Stewart Show asked me what I thought of New York so far I told her that is was EVERYTHING I could of ever expected. I don’t know if you remember a while back me saying that this countdown was gonna be a way to “test” myself. To push myself a little harder at something and see if I could finish on time.  I knew I made this promise to {{myself}} but NOW I have made a “for real” promise to MARTHA! There will be NO excuse to NOT finish this project. The thing is, I know there will be days I won’t feel like crafting, taking pictures, editing pictures, writing and so on. I think that is what makes me want it so much more! I know in the end it will be worth every ounce of labor! Have you ever sat down and though about “what’s next” in your life? Just sitting there making up all these “what if’s” in your head? I caught myself doing that yesterday and then I realized that is not what I am supposed to do.  Ya know, life is NOW! Everyone has “plans” for the future but the reality is all you have is the moment your in, then it’s over. So next time you are trying to figure out what comes next, take a deep breath and live in the NOW!` I mean REALLY live in the now, and while your in the now thank the universe for all the good you have. I thank everything I believe in every second I can for all the good and positive in my life.  There is so much to be thankful for but it can be easily blinded by negative thoughts. Let’s all live with a positive outlook and even though things might not be how you “planned” them to be just remember that it’s how your book is supposed to be.

After all, it’s your book. Your the only one writing it and editing it.

Happy WRITINGS!
Today’s craft is SO MUCH FUN~I think what I love the most about it is that you can use any color glitter that you want. I have to tell ya, Martha Stewart’s glitter is the BEST! Of course spiderwebs look great in black but how cool would a spiderweb look in orange or purple! You can do a variety of colors and place them all together. This would make a GREAT center piece for a Halloween party. The only thing I didn’t do is use a frosted pillar. I also added a little “southern” feel by using a canning jar!
Don’t forget at the bottom I will link up everything I used for you to quickly get to if you are interested in buying them!
p.s. Tadahhhhhh!!!! This project came out so cute!
p.s. all you need is glitter glue, glass container, template, tape
p.s. Martha’s glitter is so awesome! I have to say it has FULL coverage on anything it goes on!
p.s. This is the paper trimmer we used when I was on the show! When I tell you this baby cuts, it CUTS!!
p.s. After you cut the two spiderwebs out tape them together and place it in the inside of whatever you are using. Get your glitter glue and start using the lines on the inside of container to draw your lines on the outside. Then simply pour glitter over WET glue. I did a little bit at a time to ensure my glue absorbed all the glitter it could.
p.s. Once you glitter the whole thing, let it dry. After you get all the glitter off of the glass just simply tie some ribbon around the top!

How to make a Cutout Night Ligh

I know it’s totally late and you are thinking “hey, what happened to jaderbomb’s craft today”… Right??!?
Well I guess all I can say is, it’s not midnight yet!! LOL
I have to get kinda mushy tonight/today and tell you no matter how hectic my day is I WILL FINISH THIS PROJECT…. After all, I AM doing what I love!  I have been blogging for about 2 years now. My brain is CONSTANTLY thinking of new things to come up with. This has totally been an outlet that has changed my life.  I have a busy life! I know everyone does. Please don’t take this as complaining because I would not have it any other way. I just want to tell you that I am so dedicated to this “project”….. Why is it a project? Well because it’s something I “HAVE” to do [[in my head]] and if I don’t then I have FAILED…..I know. That is a pretty big word. But it is time consuming and I really put alot of pride in my work, so the end result is very important to me!
Just know that even though it’s almost 11 p.m. at night and I am just finding time to myself I will do my blog if it’s the last thing I do. {{ i mean, supper is on the stove cooking for tomorrow night as I finish editing and writing all of this}}
insert tired eyes teeheheh
I can’t really explain the JOY I feel when I am crafting. Is there anyone else who feels like that? It’s like…..breathing.  I can’t remember a day my brain was NOT thinking of crafts!!! It’s kinda fun for me to {{{come up with things that I have not seen before}}}…..and I am sure you enjoy it too!
ok. enough musheeee…LET”S CRAFT….We can’t let Martha down!
p.s. you will need card stock and a hole puncher (used for eyes)
p.s. glossy mod podge is AWESOME even though I would recommend using the glitter one (you know I love glitter)… and you will need a brush!
p.s. this craft bond is glue that you can spray onto things and on the right is a VERY SHARP x-acto knife (you can find these at your local craft store)
p.s. OK… the only thing I am “tweeking” about this Martha Stewart project is THIS  LAMP… It “calls” for a night light but I just wanted to do a lamp.   Boy am I happy!!!
p.s. i printed out both because i just couldn’t pick!! make sure you cut on something that will not harm your knife or whatever is below it! MAKE SURE YOUR KNIFE IS SHARP or you will get jagged edges!
p.s. look how precious they look after you cut them out! sorry if mine were not perfect, i was kinda having difficulties with my “knife not being sharp enough” … the leaves go in the INSIDE of the shade as does the baby koala. You will see it on the template
p.s. even though you are coating with mod podge you need the back to be really secure onto the surface it is going on!
p.s. OMG! these are so cute! I had to turn off the lights and try to get a good picture of how it looks as a “night light”.. I am so pleased! I added a little glitter to the top of my tree to add a little sparkle!

I have to say OVERALL this project was FUN! The only thing that I had to do over and over was cutting out the shapes. They are really tiny and my knife sucked was not the best. PLEASEEEE not to rush in order to finish this craft because you really want clean crisp edges. Once everything is cut out and glued on you want to coat over the image with mod podge.  

Sending you koala’s to ride on your back all night long,
jaderbomb

Decorate with Eggs

Howdy my little JaderBugs~!! How are ya! Sorry I been kinda out lately but I had surgery this week and didn’t really have time to blog much.  But I am back and running!!!
OMG, while I was on my “meds” I started thinking about a craft to do with eggs.  I didn’t want to do the typical egg craft that I see all over so here goes MY EGG CRAFT!!! I think it’s absolutely precious because it’s very crisp and clean looking but has the spunk that I adore.  I used my favorite markers of ALL time, my BIC markers.  Check out my post I put up a while back when BIC sponsored me for a craft party!   So exciting I tell ya~
Also, if you have not seen my {bloopers} video from last week check it out, it’s super funny!!!
These are the colors that I chose but you can use the ones that tinkle your heart:
√ Plumtastic Purple
√ Hot Aqua
√ Sunset Orange
√ Polynesian Purple
√ Tranquil Teal
√ Stone Gray
√ Tiki Hut Tan
√ Pink Flamingo
√ Key Lime
√ Tuxedo Black
√ Yellow Blaze
√ Peach Parfait
√ Fandango Pink
INGREDIENTS:
p.s. you can also use fishing wire or any other string you can think of, i just love the look of twine.  don’t forget to get personal, splatter on all kindsa different sequins on them!!!
p.s.  this process is fairly simple.  after your first 2 eggs you will figure out what way works best for ya!
p.s.  seriously, how cute is this! makes me think of my polka dot bak-ini, fa reel 
p.s. do you want to eat these are is it just me?
p.s. btw, you don’t have to use black to outline your polka dots.  i just happen to love the color black around things all pretty n stuff 🙂
p.s. ok, on the left if you look good enough, you can see the FIRST sequin i put up.  but to the right you will see an egg starting to become engulfed in them. did you know i love all things glittery and shiny!!! like ADDicted!!!
p.s. play around with this part.  you do’t have to put them in any certain order or anything.  it’s your time to be creative!
p.s.  you can hang these anywhere and your house will be sparkly and happy
p.s. see!!! i told ya! BTW I was supposed to post this but never got around to it.  i spruced up some things in ma crib and painted them all summery {{is that a word?}} lol
ps.  another mirror.  see i toldya if you just get a cool can of spray paint you can change the look of a room for less than 5 dollors~
Love ya. Mean it.
