Hey Everyone!
Jamie here to share a birthday card with you!
Happy Friday everyone! It's Rosie here today sharing a Friendsgiving card using several of the new products from the Mini Fall Release. These new dies and stamp sets are AWESOME! I love that this release contains Halloween and Thanksgiving themes.
For my card, I created two friend turkeys using the turkey die included in the new Street Lamp Die: Fall Add Ons and the turkey from the FREEBIE offer. To create the sunflower street lamp, I used the original Street Lamp Die for the post and Street Lamp Die: Valentine Add Ons for the street sign holder. The "Sunflower Trails" is from the new Haunted Highway Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the new Friendsgiving Stamp Set.
Hello crafty friends! I’m Sweta from Table_in_the_Attic, back this week with another fun project. Today I’m combining the Car Cruiser Dies with the Gnome Friends Chipmunk to create a card that has a special surprise — working light-up headlights! If you enjoy interactive elements, this one’s for you.
I started by die-cutting all the pieces for the cruiser in teal blue, black, white, and red cardstock. To give the car a steel finish, I also cut the front grill and a few accents from silver mirror cardstock.
When adhering the pieces together, I left out some smaller details so I could pop them up later with foam tape for extra dimension.
For the chipmunk, I cut only the base layer and the little hands. Instead of using all the die-cut pieces, I chose to color him with Copic markers. (If coloring isn’t your thing, you can absolutely assemble him directly from the dies.)
To complete the scene, I added a large stamped-and-colored gift box, plus a smaller one designed to fit in Mr. Chippy’s hands.
Here comes the fun part — making the headlights glow! For this, you’ll need:
Pre-wired LED lights
Copper foil tape
A 3V lithium coin battery
Don’t worry — no electrician’s license required!
Punch two holes in the car’s front panel where the headlights should go.
Back the openings with vellum to diffuse the light.
Finally, cover the vellum with mirror cardstock (also hole-punched) for a clean, finished look.
Tape the LED lights over the vellum. Gather the two red wires (+) together and the two black wires (–) together.
Adhere Mr. Chippy to the car so you can determine the best battery placement. Lightly trace a circle around the battery to mark its spot.
Lay down copper tape over the marked spot. Secure the two red wires over this spot with more copper tape, then secure the black wires to the negative side of the battery again using the copper tape.
Test the setup by pressing the battery onto its spot. If everything is connected correctly, the headlights should glow!
💡 Tip: Use double layers of foam tape to create a snug spot for the battery to sit in. This prevents it from staying connected all the time, which would drain the power. Tape down any loose wires so they don’t peek out from under the car.
Step 5: Final Assembly
To finish the card, I:
Adhered the car and chipmunk to a patterned panel from an older Brutus Monroe paper pack.
Positioned the large gift next to the car.
Added the smaller gift box with the word “push” on it (so the recipient knows where to press).
Stamped the sentiment in the top right corner.
Now for the best part — press the box and watch the headlights shine! ✨
I hope you’ll give this light-up card a try. It’s such a fun way to add a wow factor to your handmade creations.
Until next time, stay crafty!

Hey Everyone!
Jamie here to share a birthday card with you!
Hello everyone! I am so excited to be guest designing for Jaded Blossom this month. My name is Sweta, and I’m from the Garden State of New Jersey. Fall feels like it’s just around the corner with cooler mornings and evenings setting in. So today, I’m sharing a fall-themed card featuring the adorable chipmunk from the Gnome Friends Chipmunk Die set.
Let’s dive straight into the project! I die cut various parts of the chipmunk using Sizzix Textured Cardstock. Next, I assembled the chipmunk with Bearly Art glue for the smaller pieces, but for the head, tail, and tummy, I added foam tape for extra dimension.
For the background panel, I sprayed a few of my favorite Chroma Mists from Brutus Monroe over kraft cardstock to create a fun fall backdrop. I love the earthy yet shimmery tones—they set the perfect autumn vibe. To add even more texture, I dry embossed the panel with a patterned folder from my stash.
Next, I die cut a stitched banner from maroon cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment “Happy Fall, Y’all” using WOW Metallic Brass embossing powder. I also die cut a few small fall leaves to accent the banner.
Now it was time to assemble the card! I adhered the shimmer-sprayed panel to a white A2 card base, then added the sentiment banner with foam tape for dimension. I tucked the die-cut leaves around the banner for extra detail.
And here’s the fun part—have you ever used Action Wobblers on your projects? If not, you definitely need to give them a try—they’re such a blast! I added one behind the chipmunk before attaching it to the card panel, and oh my goodness, it wiggles and wobbles just like a real chipmunk. Because if you’ve ever watched them in the garden, they never sit still—so why should this one?!
And that’s my project for today! Check back again next week for another creation from me. In the meantime, stay connected with Jaded Blossom on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. You can also find me as @Table_in_the_Attic on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
I wish you a wonderfully creative week ahead!
