Hang In There!

Happy Friday everyone! For the last few weeks, I've been doing a Penguin for all the Seasons/Holidays series because I love penguins as much as I love gnomes. It's so much fun adding these cute penguins to different scenes. With Spring right around the corner, I decided to take this little penguin outdoors paragliding! I used the little penguin from Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, and added a cute little bow to her from Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 3.

Did you see DT Cynthia's Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge in the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group? The challenge is to choose 3 elements in a row in honor of the classic game and create a project! There is an album for you to play along. You have until March 20, 2025, 11:59 pm PST to add your card for a chance at winning a prize! 

Well, my card is a double tic-tac-toe! Across the top of the board, I used Die-cuts, Flowers (decorative paper), and a Stencil (clouds using Enchanted Night Sky Stencil). It also fills in the diagonal on the board using Die-cuts, Pastels, and Ribbon. I used the umbrella from Gnome Dies: Weather Add Ons with some thin pink ribbon to create the paraglider. The grassy knoll was created using Mushroom Dies. The sentiment is from the Take It Slow Stamp Set.

Remember, we also have a current "ANYTHING GOES" Challenge until April 5th for a chance at winning a free stamp set! You don't have to have a blog to play along. You can load your card to the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group and then add your link from Facebook. There are instructions HERE to help you!

Have a great weekend!

Lucky Vibes!

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

 Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner here today

and I created a St. Patrick's Day themed card to share with you.

To create my card, I started by creating a white A2 cardbase and adding a yellow layer that I cut out using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 on top. Next I used the Window Card Mat Die and cut it out of some white cardstock, as well as 2 different patterned papers. I added the white frame on top of my yellow scallop panel and filled in the windows with the patterned papers. I used the Octagon Dies to cut out a piece of Vellum and then heat embossed my sentiment, from the Lucky Vibes stamp set, with some black embossing powder. I built my pot of gold using the Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons and added it above my sentiment. I was able to hide some foam tape behind the pot so that my Vellum piece could be raised up off of my card front for a little dimension. I completed my card by adding a little four leaf clover that I cut out using the Build A Booth: Clover Add Ons and a little green enamel heart.

Let's Get SHAMROCKED!

Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe today's the last day of February! So what's up next? St. Patrick's Day, and this cutie patootie is ready to get shamrocked! I don't even drink, but I think I need to join this penguin for a few rounds! Maybe that pot of gold will come my way also, haha!

Jaded Blossom products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! To create the penguin, I used Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, Gnome Dies: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons (hat), Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (shamrock on hat, beer), and Penguin Faces Stamp Set. For the background scene, I used Border Dies 2 (grass area), Rainbow Dies, and Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (pot of gold, shamrocks on pot). The sentiment is from Lucky Vibes Stamp Set.

You're Earresistable

Hello, crafty friends! The weather is getting warmer, flowers are blooming, and I am no longer needing a jacket. It's time for spring projects! I am exited to share this Easter treat holder!

I used the Candy Bar Slider Die for this spring project. I die cut the base with a thick cardstock and die cut a colorful background for the peeps. I die cut 3 of the Chubby Bunny die with vibrant watercolor paper, including bows and glasses. I added some black cardstock to the back of the bunny die for the eyes and nose.

I added a sentiment with Bunny Trail set and stamped it on a die from Mini Tag Dies 3. I added the Hershey bar to the holder and it is ready to gift!

Thanks for stopping by!

Get Well Wishes

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

 Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner here today 

and I have a Get Well Soon card to share with you.

I don't know about your area, but there seems to be a lot of cold and flu cases in mine so I thought I better have a card to have on hand just in case. 

I created an A2 cardbase from some white cardstock and covered the front with some dotted patterned paper. I added a strip of blue patterned paper along one side and doodled around the perimeter with a black Micron pen. I used the Stylized Rectangle Dies and cut out a piece of plaid patterned paper and layered it on top of a white Stylized Scallop Rectangle Dies. I popped it up onto my card with some foam tape and started building my little bear. For my bear, I used the Gnome Friends: Bear Die, Bear Faces and the Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons. Once I had my bear built, I popped her up onto the front of my card and added a little pink bow to her hair. I stamped my sentiment from the Speedy Recovery stamp set, used the Mini Tag Dies 3 to cut it out and tucked one end under my bear. I finished my card with a heart from the Banner Dies, some puffy stickers and a couple of white Nuvo drops.   

I'm pretty sure that this cute little bear would make anyone feel better.

Guest Designer, Marcia!

 Hello, Guest Designer Marcia here, and I've had a blast creating as a guest designer for Jaded Blossom this month. Today, I'm sharing my final card using my all time favorite stencil - the Flower Stencil Set.

This stencil set creates such beautiful backgrounds that are a breeze to create. I only use pink, blue, and yellow, overlapping the colors in sections to create orange and purple. I use green for the leaves and flower centers layer. I don't think I've spent more than a minute layering both stencils and I've loved every single inked panel.

Supplies used:

Flower Stencil Set

Gnome-alicious Birthday

Gnome-alicious Birthday Outline Dies

Doily Dies

Rectangle Dies 1

Scallop Rectangle Dies 1

Thank you, Marcia
