Magical Birthday Cupcake Sliders

 Hello Friends, I'm on the Jaded Blossom Blog today with a couple super cute cupcake slider gift card holders!  My friend's twins recently had a birthday, so I made the perfect gift card holders to match their dragon and unicorn theme!

To create both of these adorable sliders I started off with the Cupcake Slider Die and add a sentiment using the Stay Magical Stamps & Outline Dies.  For the super cute unicorn I used the Gnome Friends: Horse Die and for the fire breather I used the Gnome Friends: Dragon Dies.

Theme: Anything Goes

    It's the first Sunday of the month which means it's time for a new monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom and with it being anything goes it's the perfect time for some Christmas in July!  I couldn't resist making a super cute reindeer enjoying the beach and collecting seashells!

 

For this red nose cutie, I used the Gnome Friends: Reindeer Die along with the Reindeer Faces.  I gave him a seashell collection to hold using the Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons and some swimming trunks using the Gnome Dies: Sports Add Ons 2!  I created the beach setting using the Large Palm Tree and Tropical Dies and added a sentiment from the Aloha stamp set.

Hello Friends, it's day 1 of Jaded Blossom's July Release and the kickoff to their huge sale (see details at bottom)!  This release is packed with 2 of my most favorite things... craft supplies and coffee!!!  I'm in love with the NEW Gnome Dies: Crafty Add Ons and Gnome Coffee Mug and just had to make a fun decoration for my craft room!

To make this adorable craft room decoration I used Jaded Blossom's standing MDF Arch and Girl Gnome.  I created the arch using the Stitched Arch Dies for my arch wall, added a couple shelves using the Saloon Die and built a desk using the Car Dies: Firetruck Add Ons for the desktop and the Saloon Die for the drawers!  I then added in all my favorite craft supplies using the NEW Gnome Dies: Crafty Add Ons and used the Potted Plants Dies and the Car Dies: RV Camper to make cups for my brushes and markers!  I was stuck between two sentiments from the NEW Born to Craft Stamps & Outline Dies so I attached velcro on the back so that I could switch them out as I wanted!  I used the Girl Gnome Dies to create a mini me holding a yummy coffee to sip on while crafting from the NEW Gnome Coffee Mug Dies!  For a finishing touch I used the MDF Standing Base Die to also add fun pattern paper to the top of my stand bases.

Hello friends, it's Day 3 of Jaded Blossom's June Release and we have this super fun Saloon Die to share with you today!!  I don't know if I had more fun making the angry horse or the doors to the saloon swing!

 

To start this card off I used a couple wood embossing folders to create my Saloon wall and deck/floor and added some extra texture and color by inking them.  I used the NEW Saloon Die to cut out some woodgrain cardstock and placed some brown ribbon in between the door layers, so I had sturdy swinging doors!  I then created this adorably angry horse with the NEW Gnome Friends: Horse Die and Horse Faces and gave him a couple revolvers and money bags from the NEW Gnome Dies: Southwestern Add Ons!  I finished off by adding this fun sentiment from the NEW Wanted Stamps & Outline Dies

Jaded Blossom's June 2026 Release Day 1

Hello Friends, it's the 1st Day of Jaded Blossom's June Release and we have a super cute new Gnome Friend the Horse!!!  I'm so excited for the NEW Gnome Friends: Horse Die as I have been a horse girl my whole life... I used to tell my parents, as a kid, that I could keep one in my room! 😂 I still have my very first horse who I have had the pleasure of loving for 26yrs now (he's 30!) and no I didn't get to keep him in my room!

 

For this cutie I used the NEW Gnome Friends: Horse Die and used the standing up version so he could hold a horseshoe from the Gnome Dies: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons.  I used the Rectangle Dies 1 to cut out some fun pattern papers with a faux stitch border and added some lace and star-studded leather ribbon.  I added a popped-up sentiment from the NEW Hay Thanks Stamps & Outline Dies to the upper right corner to finish it off!

Theme: Best Friends

    It's the first Sunday of the month which means it's time for a new monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom and for this month we have a fun Best Friends theme which means to use 2 Gnomes, 2 Gnome Friends, or a mixture.  I had so much fun coming up with this card and making these 2 BFF wizards!

For this card I started with some cloud pattern paper and added some treetops using the Winter Scenic Dies at the bottom.  For the car I used the Car Dies: Cruiser and just built it on the backside of the base piece so that I had a right-hand driving car!  I made my best friends using the Gnome Dies: Wizard Add Ons and Gnome Dies then added a sentiment from Stay Magical that was cut it out using the Outline Dies.

Bee Happy Birthday

 Hello friends, I'm on the Jaded Blossom Blog today with a sweet Bee Happy Birthday Card!  The Gnome Beekeeper is just the cutest add on and the perfect pairing for my collection of bee paper pads!

To create this card, I started out with the Card Mat Dies to make a fun stitched background layered on black cardstock.  I then used the Honeycomb Card Mat Die and cut off a portion to make a fun layer on top of a stitched rectangle from Rectangle Dies 2.  I used the Stitched Hexagon Dies to make a spot for my beekeeper and sentiment from Bee Kind.  I used the Girl Gnome Dies and Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons along with the Gnome Dies: Beekeeper Add Ons to make this adorable little honey enthusiast.

To decorate the inside, I used another sentiment from the Bee Kind Stamp Set, added a bee from the Beekeeper Add Ons and gave him a flying trail using the Bug Trail Dies, and added a grassy ground using the Spring Scenic Dies.

50th Birthday Survivor

Hello friends, I'm on the Jaded Blossom Blog today with a super fun 50th Birthday Card I made for a dear friend, and I bet you can't guess what her favorite show is!?!?   I just love that Jaded Blossom gives us so many amazing products to mix and match and be able to truly customize the perfect creations!

 

I had so much fun creating this custom birthday card and just tickled with the way it turned out!  To create my beachy backdrop, I used the newly released Horizontal Stitched Clouds Card Mat Dies for the sky and the Tropical Dies for the waves and sand!  I added a sun from the Gnome Dies: Weather Add Ons and a few clouds from the newly released Spring Scenic Dies and used the Tropical Dies 2 for the cute little palm tree!  I used the Girl Gnome Die to create my survivor carrying her torch from the Tropical Dies and gave her an idol from Gnome Dies: Tiki Add Ons to keep her safe and made sure she's eating good with her chicken from Farm Scenic Dies (protein from the eggs of course 😁).

Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 & 110lb Cardstock, Sizzix, woodgrain, Doodlebug 6x6 petite prints, Doodlebug: summer fun - water babies 12x12
