Jaded Blossom August 2026 Monthly Challenge

Jaded Blossom August 2026 Monthly Challenge

Theme: Teacher Gift

    It's the first Sunday of the month which means it's time for a new monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom and this month we are celebrating teachers as school is about to be back in session!  I made a couple gift card holders that tuck into a super cute paper bag!

I used the Paper Bag Die to cut out some kraft paper to make the perfect pocket for my gift card holders!  I decorated the front with some Doodlebug paper and added a Gnome holding an apple from the Gnome Dies: School Add Ons!  These teachers deserve an A+, so I used the School Candies stamp set and added it to a star from the Star Dies!  To make the gift card holder I modified one of the Stitched Arch Dies so that it would be the perfect length for the bag and added a bow using the Bow Dies to the top for an easy way to slide it in and out!  I used the Gnome Gift Card Slider Die to cut the slits for the card to go into and stamped a sentiment from School Candies in the middle.  For a final touch I used the Embellishment Clusters Die to add a few more stars to each one!

Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Cardstock, Sizzix, kraft, red metallic, P13 skin tones, Doodlebug - 6x6 school days, 6x6 petite prints, 12x12 solids

Ink: SSS - Versafine Clair Nocturne, White Pigment
