+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Today, I used some fabulous paper and a sentiment panel from Echo Park Ghosts and Goblins 6x6 Paper Pad. I love that this paper pad has large sentiments that can be used as the focal point of your card.

 

 

The puffy ghosts and spiders stickers are from Doodlebug Design. To finish off the card, I added gorgeous R43 white peonies, black cherry blossoms, purple achillea cottage flowers, white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves that I inked up with black ink.

 

I wanted to create some webbing on the card since I added spiders so I drizzled Fabri-Tac Glue over the flowers.

Jaded Blossom September 2026 Release Day 2: HALLOWEEN DIES

Happy Tuesday friends! We are on Day 2 of the Jaded Blossom September 2026 Release. You can grab the entire "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount! Individual items will be available for purchase on Thursday.

Today, I created a scene card showcasing Spooky Scenic Dies and Frankenstein Coffee Mug Dies. To create my gnome, I used Gnome Dies with Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons (hat). The sentiment on the Word Bubble Die is from the Halloween Hisses Stamp Set.

I did lots of inking around the die cut pieces, including using white ink along the edges of the black die-cuts. I made the Frankenstein coffee mug glossy by placing clear tape over the green paper before die-cutting.

La-La Land Crafts Winter 2026 Release!

Happy Monday friends! If you didn't see my Instagram post on Friday, I have some exciting news to share! I am officially a designer for La-La Land Crafts. Today, we have a brand new release featuring lots of amazing winter and Christmas goodies! The La-La Land Craft's Winter 2026 Release includes 12 new dies sets, 7 new stamp sets, and 3 new paper packs. I 'll be showcasing projects over the next month with all the new items.

For my first project, I created a 3-D pop-up house using a mix of new and old dies, along with two new stamps sets: GOOD CHEER (Santa) and REAL HOOT (owls). To create the pop-up house, I used the following dies & paper pack:

Roof Hinge Large Die, Winter House Add-On Die, Gingerbread House Add-On Die (gold gumdrop border), Vintage Christmas Trees Die (used on sides of house), North Pole Sign Die (used on back of house), Christmas Mix 6x6 Paper Pack

**Released previously: House Base Die, Cottage Add-On Die

The windows are cut out so you can place a flame-less candle inside and it will glow. I can see making a bunch of these in different colors to decorate the fireplace mantle or placed on a tiered display stand for the kitchen island. So much fun!

These are the amazing ladies I'll be crafting alongside as part of the La-La Land Crafts Design Team.

Jaded Blossom September 2026 Release Day 1: FROGS

Happy Monday friends! We are on Day 1 of the Jaded Blossom September 2026 Release. You can grab the entire "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount! Individual items will be available for purchase on Thursday.

This month, we have a new friend joining the family! Today, I'm showcasing Gnome Friends: Frog Dies, Frog Faces Stamp Set, and Froggin' Awesome Stamp Set + Outline Dies. I love adding details to die-cut pieces! For the frog, I blended dark green ink over light green paper to add shading around the pieces and then added spots using markers. After stamping the face onto the green paper, I used acrylic markers to add the yellow to her eyes and red to her lips and tongue.

The background sky/clouds were created by inking over a cloud die-cut from Border Dies 2. The cloud die-cut has a stitched edge. I add a line of glue over the stitching and let it dry, and then blend blue ink along the cloud edge. This way the ink doesn't go through the stitched lines. The grass border is from Spring Scenic Dies. The grassy bits under the cattails are from the Potted Plants Dies.

Jaded Blossom: WITCHES BREW JUST FOR YOU!

Happy Friday everyone! It's the middle of September and I'm ready for fall and cooler temperatures. Maybe more Halloween cards will bring in some colder weather because 105 degrees is too dang hot! Jaded Blossom brought in new paper pads from Echo Park so I decided to create a card using Echo Park Halloween Parade 6x6 Paper Pad. 

The cauldron mug and sentiment are from Witches Brew Stamp Set. I used dies from Gnome Dies: Halloween Costume Add Ons 2 for the witch's legs. The bats and drip border were created using Halloween Dies.

Conie Fong: DOG WITH CANDY CANE

I'm still working on Christmas cards, and I couldn't pass up this adorable puppy from Conie Fong's Dog with Bone and Candy Cane Bundle. Isn't he the cutest dog ever?!! I printed the image on Xpress It Blending Card, cut it out with scissors, and colored him with Copic Markers. 

I created the indoor scene using patterned paper. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Sweet Christmas Wishes Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! Have a great weekend!

Rosie

Jaded Blossom: AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

Happy Friday everyone! My beautiful niece is having a Bridal Shower this weekend, and is getting married in October so I was inspired to create a wedding card today using Jaded Blossom Stamps and Dies. I LOVE how elegant gold embossing looks so I decided to keep things clean and simple and only use cream and gold. 

 

The heart shape is from Floral Heart Stamp Set, and the sentiment is from Gnome Wedding Day Stamp Set.  The word LOVE is from a die included in Basic Word Dies, and was cut from gold foil paper.

We currently have a TEACHER GIFTS Challenge in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until September 5th. We hope you play along for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store!
