Jaded Blossom - Gingerbread Girl

Hello everyone!

I am back again as Guest Designer for the month of November, with Jaded Blossom! Did you see the latest release? I am loving the add on's for the Gnome dies.  Today I am featuring the Large Gingerbread Girl Stamp Set.  

Here is my card for your inspiration using the Large Gingerbread Girl Stamp Set.  My card is an A2 card measuring 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. 


I started by using the Gumdrop Stencil and inked it up using rainbow colors.  I added some Glitz Glitter on the second layer of the stencil.  I then colored the gingerbread girl using copic markers (E31, E35, E57 and E79).  I then paper pieced the icing and the bow on the gingerbread girl.  I wanted to match the background with rainbow colors.  The bow I used pop dots to give it some dimension.  The paper I used was Lawn Fawns Really Rainbow 6x6 paper pad.  


To finish off the card, I added some enamel hearts down the front of the gingerbread girl.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Gnome Baked Stamp Set.

I hope you have been inspired and try to recreate my card.  I enjoyed making this rainbow inspired card.

Please come back again soon!

Newton's Nook Designs - Sweet Holiday

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring the Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set and coordinating dies. This is an adorable set, perfect to send out for your Christmas cards.


The card is an A2 card, for the top layer I used the Meowy Christmas Paper Pad that features the same candy cane kitty image and cut candy piece. I love how some of Newton's stamps have matching paper. I colored the images with alcohol markers added glitter to the white portions of the Santa hat and candy piece for some sparkle! I cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Candy Cane Die Set.  I added some glossy accents to the little heart.


I layered a vellum oval over the center, cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. The message "Wishing you a SWEET holiday!" from the Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set was embossed onto the oval. I added a couple of pine boughs to the top of the oval, cut out using our Pines & Holly Die Set, for a festive touch!

Jaded Blossom - Coffee is Life!

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for the month of November, here at Jaded Blossom! Did you see the latest release? I am loving the add on's for the Gnome dies. This month I love the new release Gingerbread and Baking add on's! I have to admit, I have every add on that Jaded Blossom has released and it's so exciting to see each month what creative add on's they create.

I am playing along with the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  I love coffee and playing along with their blog hop.  If you are interested in playing along, all the details are here, the hop if from November 11-18.


Here is my card I created using the Gingerbread add on.  I started with the Girl Gnome Die and used the  Gingerbread add on.


My card is an A2 card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 top folding.  The layers are cut from some card stock in my stash, the first layer is 4 x 5 and the design paper is 3 7/8 x 4 7/8.  I die cut the body from the Girl Gnome Die and then die cut the elements from the Ginger Gingerbread add on using paper from my stash.  I love how the teal and brown look together.  I couldn't help myself, I had to use the coffee cup also from the Gingerbread add on.   


Here is a closer look of my card.  I added a piece of vellum to the background panel and added the gnome using foam tape.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite stamp sets called Gnome Brewed.  To finish off the card, I added some enamel dots.

I hope you have been inspired!  I love making these gnomes.  Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon.

Jaded Blossom Stamps - November 2022 Anything Goes Challenge

Hello everyone!!

I'm super excited to be a guest designer for Jade Blossom Stamps this month! I fell in love with their gnomes and coffee stamps years ago and cannot get enough of them. This month's Jaded Blossom Challenge is Anything Goes. I could not help myself but to use the cute stamp set Gnome Brewed.


I created the background by stamping the coffee cups from the Gnome Brewed stamp set and then colored them with Copic markers. I stamped and die cut the two Gnomes and colored them with Copics. I added a piece of vellum to the background and then added the gnomes. I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with white embossing powder. To finish the card off, I added some hearts to the cups and onto the sentiment strip.


I hope you have been inspired and can find some time to join in the fun and play along in the challenge this month. There's a free stamp set of your choice up for grabs as a prize! Head over to the Jaded Blossom Blog for all the challenge details and the link up.
