Jaded Blossom - October Case Me Challenge

Wednesday, October 29, 2025

Hello everyone!

I am here playing along with Jaded Blossom October Challenge which is "Case Me".  I love Jaded Blossom, I love their Gnome dies and friends.  I think I have almost all of them!  I am always inspired by LeeAnn and Kristie Marcotte.  I love watching their videos, I am always inspired.  I am casing these cards by Kristie.  

Here is my card for your inspiration:

D. Idlet, Jaded Blossom, Gnome Friends Penguin, Diagonal Card Mat Die, JB Penguin Kisses, Street Lamp Die: Winter add ons

Here is how I created my card.  

I am using the cuties Penguin die from the Gnome Friends called Penguin.  I die set the penguin and the little penguin using card stock from my stash.  The background die is JB Diagonal Card Mat Die, I used Doodlebug paper called Frosty Friends.  The lamp post is from JB Street Lamp Die and Street Lamp Die: Winter add ons.  The sentiment is from JB Penguin Kisses and the outline die.  I finished off the card by adding some snowflakes from the Winter Embellishmnet Cluster.  I also added a small snowman from the Winter Embellishment Cluster.  

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon.

D. Idlet, Gina K. Designs, October release, Forest Frame Stamp Set, wintery scence, summer/Spring scence

I created an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I stamped the image from the Forest Frame stamp set onto some  Ocean Mist cardstock with black ink and embossed it with clear emblossing powder.  I then used GKD inks to ink blend the background.  I used some white pigment ink to create the snow onto the card. I finished off the card by stamping and embossing the sentiment with white embossing powder and die cut it with the coordinating die.  I really love how my wintery scence looks.

My second card, is an A2 card. I created a summer/spring card.  I started by ink blending the background with GKD inks.  I then stamped the image from the Forest Frame Stamp set with GKD Fresh Asparagus and die cut the frame with Master Layouts 1.  I finished the card by adding the sentiment onto the card and added a couple of birds from the Forest Frame Stamp Set.

Hello everyone!

I am on the Newton's Nook Blog today featuring a lot of the NEWLY released products from last week. I hope you enjoyed the released and you found some products that will get you started on your holiday card making. My card has lots of sparkle and shine for the holiday season, I love creating holiday cards.

My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). I started with the Tis the Season Toner Card Front as my base, which adds those bold diagonal stripes in pink and white. It’s the perfect backdrop for a festive scene! I die cut the top layer from the Basic Frames Die Set and used foam tape to pop it up on the card.

The  pink Christmas foiled tree I created using the Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies. I nestled it among the glittery presents that I die cut from the NEWLY released Gift Builder Die Set using the
Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. These dies make it so easy to layer and customize gifts in any color combo you like!

Of course, no Newton’s Nook card is complete without some furry friends! I stamped and colored the sweet dog and cat from the Christmas Time Dogs and Cats Stamp Sets, then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. They’re holding gifts and looking absolutely delighted to be part of the celebration.

To finish off the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Greeting Stamp Set and die cut it using the Circle Frames Die Set.

This card was such a joy to make, and I love how Newton’s Nook Designs makes it easy to mix and match their products for endless creative possibilities. Whether you’re crafting for friends, family, or just for fun, these new releases are sure to bring smiles all season long.
