Jaded Blossom August 2025 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 1

Happy Monday Friends! We are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom August 2025 Release. You can grab the "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount. If you wait until the release goes live, the bundle price will go up.

This release is all about farm life! I'm so excited we have cute farm add-ons and new animals coming your way! Today, we are starting off with Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons, Windmill Die, and Hay Friend Stamp Set + Outline Dies. There are so many adorable animals in the Farm Add Ons! I decided to create an 8x8 canvas wall hanging so I could include as much as possible from today's featured sets. 

 

The background scene is a digital landscape printable from Creative Fabrica. I printed it on white cardstock, and trimmed it to 8x8 to fit on the canvas. I then created my farmer by using Gnome Dies (hands), Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1 (face), Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons (hair/nose), Gnome Dies: Girl Scarecrow Add Ons (hat), and Gnome Faces Stamp Set (smile). The body/clothes, shoes, and bandana are from the new Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons. The black/white beads are from Amazon.

 

 
The tractor, pitchfork, barrel of veggies, pig, and goat are all from the Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons. The windmill was created using the Windmill Die. The sentiment is from the Hay Friend Stamp Set.

Jaded Blossom + I Am Roses: HAPPY EASTER WALL HANGING

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom with gorgeous paper flowers from I Am Roses! I have a bunch of these black/white fabric chalkboard frames from the Dollar Tree. They also just put out their Easter stuff and I bought several Wood Bead Garlands which I cut apart to separate the beads. I combined them to create this cute Easter Wall Hanging. 

I wanted to create a scene on the chalkboard area that matched the shape so I pulled out my heat gun and a butter knife and went to work separating the chalkboard area from the fabric frame. That was a process let me tell ya! I traced the shape onto white cardstock so I could create the cloud background. Then I used the grass die in the Mushroom Die Set and cut two grassy knolls. The Easter Eggs are from the Wheelbarrow Dies: Easter Add Ons. Those adorable bunnies are from the Chubby Bunny Die Set. I wanted little heart noses for the bunnies so I used the small heart dies in the Build A Booth: Valentine Add Ons. The sentiment is from the Carrots For Sale Stamp Set.

After I created the scene on the white cardstock, I glued it to the black chalkboard area. Then I added flowers from I Am Roses. The large flower is the R43 unicorn peony, followed by S3-15 white cherry blossoms, S10 small yellow flowers, R2 mini soft pink roses, and tiny green leaves. The frame came with a twine hanger which I took out of the holes to add on the beads.

Remember, you have until March 2nd to play along in the Jaded Blossom STENCIL Challenge 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!

And 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. 

 

I Am Roses is also having a February Anything Goes Challenge. You must use at least 3 IAR products to qualify, and have until March 8th to link up your project.

 

Have a great weekend!

For my project today, I altered this plaid home decor piece I got at the Dollar Tree. It already had the buffalo plaid fabric and chalkboard heart on it. I used a sentiment stamp from The Greeting Farm and heat embossed it with white embossing powder onto the heart. I added a white lace oval from Recollections around the heart. Next, I glued some ephemera from Diamond Press around the lace oval and added the bird at the top on foam tape.

 

 

To finish off the piece, I added a bunch of flowers from I Am Roses. The large flower is the R43 Peony. There are also some cherry blossom, S10 and S11 flowers along with some mini roses. I made a double loop bow from some buffalo plaid ribbon and added it to the bottom of the lace oval.

Have a great week friends! Hugs, Rosie

The Greeting Farm August 2023 Stamp Feature Day 1: HEY TEACHER

 Happy Wednesday Friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the August 2023 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced 3 new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Claudette, Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release. Don't forget about the TGF Blog Hop where 1 lucky person will take home all 3 stamp sets!

I found this cute chalkboard frame at the Dollar Tree, and knew it would be the perfect background for this new set from The Greeting Farm called HEY TEACHER. I think these would make perfect teacher gifts! 

 

The sentiment is embossed directly onto the chalkboard area, but you could leave it blank so the recipient is able to write little messages. I bought the wood beads on Amazon and added them to the twine that came with the frame. 

 

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share you creations. We would love to see them! See you back here tomorrow for day 2 of Stamp Features!

Hugs,

Rosie

 Today, I made something other than a card. I've been on a kick lately altering wood home decor items. I had this plain wood shadow box frame lying around so I decided to make use of it. I painted the frame pink, and inserted paper from Doodlebug Design.

 

 
To step it up a notch, I added gorgeous IAR flowers to both corners. The large flower is the R-43 Peony. I then added S3 white cherry blossoms, S10 pink two tone flowers and extra small S10 white flowers. I bought the pink and white wood beads off of Amazon.

Jaded Blossom: HAPPY HALLOWEEN GNOME WALL HANGING

 Happy Friday everyone! If you follow me then you know that I am a big gnome lover. One of the great things about all the Jaded Blossom Gnome Dies is their versatility. Not only can they create fabulous cards, but they also make the most amazing home decor pieces. For my project, I created a Happy Halloween Gnome wall hanging using a piece I found at the Dollar Tree. 

 

I used the Gnome Dies with the Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons to make these spooky guys. The "happy halloween" is from the Happy Halloween Word Die. I cut the words 4 times from chipboard and then glued the orange words on top to make the words thicker.

 

Remember, you have until August 5th to play along in the Jaded Blossom Anything Goes Challenge 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 JB Facebook Group and then add your link using Facebook. There are instructions HERE to help you!

I Am Roses September 2021 Challenge: ANYTHING GOES!

 It's The 15th of the month, and we are back with a brand new I Am Roses ANYTHING GOES Challenge! Come play along for a chance at 1 of the 4 prizes up for grabs!

I have been slowly creating some Halloween decor for around the house. I don't go all out like I used since my boy has grown up, but a little bit here and there helps me get into the decorating spirit. Today, I created a canvas wall hanging using an image from one of my favorite artists, Krista Smith. This digi is called Witchkeys. It's an older image, and I don't see it in her Etsy Store. She does have this adorable trio in the store called Witches.

 

I painted the canvas black on all sides and along the front edges. I then added decorative paper and rounded the corners. I colored the witches with Copic markers, and added the gorgeous IAR flowers along the edges. To finish it off, I added 16mm plaid beads on to some twine, tied knots on the ends, and glued the ends to the back of the canvas.

Polka Dot Orchard: CALLING ALL REINDEER SHADOW BOX

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm so in love with the Polka Dot Orchard CALLING ALL REINDEER Digital Stamp Set that I created another Home Decor item, but this time I went even bigger! I found an awesome 12x12 Shadow Box Frame at Walmart and created this for one of my friends. She always gifts me something at Christmas and I rarely make anything for her.....I'm awful! But now that I live closer to her, I can just drive up the street and drop this off as a surprise!

I found the 12x12 background paper and small jingle bells at Hobby Lobby. I printed the image close to 8 1/2 x 11 and fussy cut it out. Then I just glued it to the buffalo plaid paper. To finish it off, I added the red jingle bells to the inside of the frame and then placed the paper and frame backing on and voila....my project was finished.  This project came together really quickly!

 

Please come share your creations with us on the Friends of Polka Dot Orchard Facebook Page so we can Ooooh and Ahhhh over them!  Have a great Sunday! 

 

Hugs,

Rosie

Polka Dot Orchard: CALLING ALL REINDEER

Happy Sunday everyone! Today, I'm sharing an altered wood frame using Polka Dot Orchard CALLING ALL REINDEER Digital Stamp Set. This frame came together quickly and guess what.....there was no coloring involved! The inside of this frame is 4 5/8 x 4 5/8 so those are the dimensions of the red buffalo plaid paper. I then copied and pasted the deer image into Word and resized it to 4.30" high to 4.48" wide. 

Here is what the original frame looked like. I think I bought this in the dollar section at Target. I loved that it had the beads at the top already, but I knew I wanted to alter it.

When I saw the reindeer silhouette, I knew it would be perfect for the inside. I fussy cut it out and then raised it on foam tape for some extra dimension.

Please come share your creations with us on the Friends of Polka Dot Orchard Facebook Page so we can Ooooh and Ahhhh over them!  Have a great Sunday!

Jaded Blossom: FANCY PUMPKIN Home Decor

 Happy Friday everyone! Have you checked out this month's monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom? The theme for August is FALLING FOR FALL. You still have time to play along with us. The deadline to link up your card is 10/03 at 11:59pm PST for a chance to win a FREE stamp set of your choice! 

Today, I'm showing off a wall hanging I made using the FANCY PUMPKIN DIE. I needed more fall inspired things around the house and I found this awesome blank wall hanging in the dollar spot at Target for $5. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but then the fabulous Fancy Pumpkin Die came out and I had an "AHA" moment! I found some plaid stickers in my stash and voila my home decor project was complete!

 

I cut the main pumpkin die from patterned paper from different paper pads, and glued the outline die cut on top. I colored the stem piece with a brown sharpie and glued it back inside the die cut out. The leaves are from the FALL DIES Set. I inked the edges of the leaves with Espresso Distress Oxide and glued two leaves together. The swirly piece is from the Fancy Pumpkin Set. I added foam tape behind the pumpkins so they are raised off the board a little

 

 

I found these awesome stickers in my stash, but wanted to give the letters more stability and also give myself a way to line up the letters on the board without sticking them down yet. I decided to stick the letters on white cardstock and fussy cut each one out. Then I laid them on the board and use a ruler to line them up where I wanted them. Once I got them arranged how I wanted them, I ran the letters through my Xyron Sticker Maker.  

Here's my project displayed in my kitchen next to my fall tiered tray. I am still working on the tiered thing. It needs some different pieces that are still "work in progress" right now, LOL!

For more inspiration head over to the Jaded Blossom Blog! And 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.
