Bear Hugs For You

Hello, crafty friends! It's February which means this is a month of love! Today, I used the XOXO Stencil to celebrate the stencil sale at Jaded Blossom! This month, all stencils are 30% off!

I created a card, pairing the stenciled background with the Gnome Friends: Bear Die and the Bear Hugs stamp set. I used Distress Oxides for the XOXO stencil and die cut the bear die with matching purple cardstock.

 

I created this purple care bear and added a heart from Gnome Dies: Sweetheart Add Ons. I added a strip of dark purple cardstock and added a stamped banner to finish the card.

I HEART U Cupcake Card

Happy Friday everyone! It's Rosie here today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. I have a bunch of the Gnome Dies Add Ons and wanted to challenge myself to use them for something different. I decided to create a Valentine's Day cupcake using products you probably wouldn't expect. After creating this one, I'm thinking of creating more for the other holidays.

I don't have the Cupcake Slider Die form Jaded Blossom (I know....it's a tragedy!), so I went through my pantry and decided to use a real cupcake liner. I cut it apart to create the cupcake base. Next, I used the car front grill die from the Car Dies: Cruiser to create the chocolate cake peeking out from the liner. I cut down the whip cream hat from Gnome Dies: Coffee Add Ons to create the frosting. The sprinkles came from Gnome Dies: Breakfast Add Ons. The little hearts are from Gnome Dies: Valentine Add Ons. The cupcake topper words are from Gnome Dies: Sweethearts Add Ons. I used a die from Cowboy Add Ons for the thin stick under the word toppers.

The red scallop mats were created using Scallop Rectangle Dies 1 and Scallop Rectangle Dies 2. And, of course, I had to add some heart patterned paper from one of my favorite companies, Doodlebug Design.

 

Remember, you have until February 3rd 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 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. 

 

Have a great weekend!

Hello Pumpkin

Hello, crafty friends! Cynthia here sharing a new fall card. I adore this time of year! I look forward to the crisp, cool air, soup, and pumpkin spice every autumn season. Fall cards also help set the comfy mood!

The card base is made up of the Card Mat Die and the Triangle Card Mat Die. They both work to frame pumpkin papers. I die cut the gnome using the Fall Add Ons for the pumpkin hat and the Outdoor Add Ons for his legs and boots. I colored up the red beard and mustache with Copic Markers. 

I also die cut the wheat stalks from the Farm Scenic Die set, and added the heart from the Sweetheart Add Ons. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Fall Gnomie stamp set and coordinating outline dies.
