Jaded Blossom - October Case Me Challenge

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:

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.

Here is my card for your inspiration. I've created a card using red, white and blue (patriotic colors) since today is Independence Day. I used the sketch to create my card.  I am using Photoplay "Land of the Free" paper to create the layers. The gnome is from Jaded Blossom, I used several products to create this gnome. For the base of the gnome, I used Gomes Dies, to dress the gnome I used the Gnome dies Patriotic Add Ons. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom God Bless America Stamp Set, I used the coordinating God Bless America Outline dies to cut the sentiment. For finishing touches I added some star embellishments to the hat and at the bottom of the card.  All of these products were release in May 2022.

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.
