Jaded Blossom: August 2022

Wednesday, August 31, 2022

Guest Designer Vanessa!

Hi there! Vanessa here guesting another day this month at Jaded Blossom Stamps. I looooove this cow stamp so much. It's called Udderly Fantastic. I finally just got it and was excited to ink it up.

I thought it would be a great image to watercolor. I die cut my card front panel out of watercolor paper, stamped my cow and sentiment in archival black ink, and painted my cow. I waited for it to dry and then masked it off with masking paper so that I could stencil over it.

I chose the knit stitches stencil. I used Old Paper oxide ink for the top portion and Peeled Paint oxide for the lower. I lightly inked around the edges.

I die cut same panel shape out of cardboard and glued together for a nice, clean, slightly popped image for my card front. I added a little bling around the flowers to finish it off.

I've been making Christmas cards here and there since the beginning of the year; I'm happy to add this one to it.

Sunflower Birthday Card

Happy Monday my crafty friends!!

Today I am sharing a birthday card I made for my daughter.

Today happens to be her birthday!!

I just love the farmhouse vibe I get from this card!!

Since her birthday is at the end of summer, I always think of sunflowers!!

The new "Sunflower Stencil Set" made a beautiful background.

I cut out the background layer using the "Card Mat Dies".

I created the border strip using the "Border Dies" for the scallop edging and glued

them onto the backside of some chocolate brown cardstock.

I embossed the sentiment from "So Many Birthdays 5" with gold embossing powder.

Lastly I added a sunflower that I created using the "Flower Dies".

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Turkey Scallop Caddy Party Favor using the Gnome Dies: Thanksgiving Add Ons

Happy Friday friends! Jaded Blossom had a Mini Thanksgiving Release last week so I decided to play around some more with the new products. I wanted to create a Scallop Caddy Party Favor to hold some hot chocolate packets that would coordinate with the turkey place card I made last week (check out the post HERE). But, I needed a smaller turkey than the Octagon Die Turkey Add On. As I was looking at the Gnome Dies: Thanksgiving Add Ons, I realized I could create a small turkey using the dies without adding the gnome. I used the turkey leg die and the turkey feather die to create the turkey's body and it worked pretty well! To create his little feet, I used the gnome hands die.

The sentiment is from the new Gobble Up Gnomie Stamp Set. I just masked off the bottom part of the sentiment with painter's tape so it only stamped the top 3 words of the sentiment. The acorn pattern was created using the new Acorn Stencil. It comes with two separate stencils...one stencil to create the nut and one to create the top cupule. Having two stencils makes it so much easier when using different colors of ink. I was able to fit two hot chocolate packets in the Scallop Caddy.

Remember, Jaded Blossom has a current SKETCH Challenge. You have until September 3rd to play along for a chance to win a free stamp set! 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.

Hugs,

Rosie

Thankful For You Tag

Hello, crafty friends! Cynthia here sharing a Fall tag using my newest favorite stencil! The SUNFLOWER STENCILS are so versatile and I love using different inks for the flowers.

I used Distress Inks in warm, fall shades of reds, yellows, and greens for the petals; blues and teals for the centers on kraft cardstock. I trimmed the cardstock to 3x6” and used the Corner Chomper to create a tag shape.

I stamped the sentiment from the THANKFUL ACORN stamp and OUTLINE die set and layered up a lace die cut. I added a button embellished with twine next to the sentiment. I layered some pattterned paper, more of the lace die, and looped more twine and a button to the top of the tag.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Poinsettia for Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's Larelyn from Handmade From My Heart. Today is my day to share here on the blog.
I'm still working towards having enough holiday cards on hand to be ready for Christmas mailing in early December. Here's another design using our Triangle Card Mat Dies.

These were so easy to put together and I love the effect of patterned papers within the triangles. I used the Small Poinsettia Die set for the focal point cutting the petals in 3 shades of red. The sentiment is from the Elegant Holiday Greetings set stamped onto one of the Flag Die shapes.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Guest Designer, Vanessa!

Hello! It's Vanessa, again, back for another day guest designing for Jaded Blossom.

I have a rather quick and easy card to share with you today, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. If you know me, you know I love to make coffee theme cards.

This is an A2 card base. I cut a 5 1/4 x 4 front layering die to create my scene. Actually, I cut 3 of them in white cardstock as it's easy to fit them on the card that way without a lot of trimming. I ink blended a blue sky with oxide inks for the main base. I then cut the mushrooms two times and the grass once from the other pieces. I also cut some separate mushroom tops. I ink blended them all with oxide inks. I glued my colored mushrooms and grass onto my base.

I then die cut several tree stump pieces so that I could stack them creating a thicker, sturdier stump. I ink blended two of them.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment, which I was excited that it fit perfectly on the stump, with white embossing powder. Because of the stitching details on the die, it's a little lumpy and I had quite a bit of stray white as oxide inks stay "wet" longer. I decided that I loved it like that as it has a more earthy tree/mushroomy look to it and went well with the softer ink colors, so I used it. I glued all the pieces together, but did not glue the leaves on the top two layers so that I could curl them up giving more dimension. I added the tree stump to my card using dimensional foam tape.

I die cut the mug out of patterned paper, and glued it to the stump adding dimensional foam tape to the upper part of it to give it more support. I glued my scene base to my card. I THOUGHT I was done, but.... I really wanted/needed steam coming off the cup! But I don't have a JB coffee steam die.... hmmm?.... fall gnome add on dies to the rescue! I cut some vellum out with the pumpkin tendrils!

Jaded blossom sets used on this card: Mushroom dies, gnome dies, tree stump dies, mushroom for coffee stamp set, and Fall gnome add on dies.

A reminder that there's still time to participate in the monthly challenge.

A special thank you to Michelle and Candace for the guest spot this month. I love Jaded Blossom!
