Jaded Blossom February 2026 New Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday friends! It's time for the Jaded Blossom February 2026 New Release Blog Hop! All new items are NOW available for purchase! Click HERE to shop. If you're here from Jamie's Blog then you're in the right place. If you're just passing through, please start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I have the complete blog hop line-up at the bottom of this post.

Today, I created Pop-up Box Card using the new products with the Crate Die for the base of the pop-up box. If you cut off the bottom panels of the crate box, then it will fold flat. The long panel on the back of the box was made using the Vertical Stitched Hearts Card Mat Dies with the Slimline Dies. I also used the Vertical Stitched Hearts Card Mat Dies with the Ric Rac Topper Die for the front and back panels of the crate. For the sides of the box, I cut paper down to fit the space and then centered the paper onto the card mat die to get the heart pattern.  

The rainbow and clouds are from the Octagon Treat Box: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons. And, I couldn't forget about the adorable Gnome Friends: Ladybug Die. I think they are so stinkin' CUTE with the Ladybug Faces Stamp Set! The sentiment is from Ladybug Kisses Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

Do you see the baby ladybugs they are holding? Those are from the FREEBIE stamp set. I stamped them on red paper and fussy cut them out with scissors. The adorable ephemera is from Doodlebug Design.

Starting off this month's release, we have the cutest dies called Gnome Friends: Ladybug Dies. I mean seriously, are they not the most adorable bugs?! I found these ladybug chocolates on Amazon, and knew I had to create a little treat bag using the XL Topper Die with the 5x5 inch Clear Bags. I LOVE the faces in the Ladybug Faces Stamp Set....they're so much fun! And, in true Jaded Blossom fashion, there are coordinating sentiment stamps with outline dies called Ladybug Kisses. 

The fabulous ladybug digital paper was from an Etsy file. I raised the standing ladybug and sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension. The small red hearts they are carrying are from the sunglasses included in the die set.

Jaded Blossom: MIRA K-Pop Demon Hunters Octagon Treat Box

Happy Friday everyone! I'm finishing up my K-pop Demon Hunters Octagon Treat Box series using products from Jaded Blossom. If you've been following me, then you know I've already created DERPY, ZOEY, and RUMI. Today, I'm bringing you MIRA! In the movie, Mira is often angry due to deep-seated abandonment issues so I made her look angry to stay in line with her character. 

DIES USED:
Octagon Treat Box Die
Hair: I sketched out the hair and cut pieces from cardstock
Hair Tie for ponytails: Octagon Dies: Farm Add Ons

Ears: Heart Dies 2 
Eyebrows: Octagon Dies: Turkey Add Ons
Eyes: Octagon Dies: Halloween Add Ons 
(I cut the larger circles in the die set from both black and white cardstock
so I could layer the black behind the white to create the look of eyeliner)
Black Pupil of Eye: Octagon Dies: Halloween Add Ons
(I used a white gel pen to add the white highlight to the pupil)
Eyelashes/Mouth: Octagon Dies: Christmas Add Ons 2
Chalk for cheeks

 

The hardest part for the human characters is figuring out the hair. For Mira's hair, I decided to sketch the pieces and cut them out. I did use Octagon Dies: Farm Add Ons for the ponytail hair ties. I colored the hair pieces with Copic Markers (RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09).

 

 

Here are all the girl characters together. I think I'm going to go back and re-do Zoey's hair with Copic Markers so they all have the hair detail.

 

And of course, I had to have a picture with Derpy, who was the start to my Octagon Treat Box series!

 

 

Don't forget, we have a new STENCIL challenge going on right now in the Jaded Blossom Facebook group for a chance to win a $20 Jaded Blossom gift certificate. Preview days for the February 2026 Release start first thing Monday.  

Have a great weekend!

*********************************

My mother-in-law's birthday is coming up and her favorite color is purple. I challenged myself to use some Jaded Blossom stencils in my stash that haven't been inked up yet. I wanted to create something that looked similar to cake, so I used Candy Drip Stencil and Fabric Stencil with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink to mimic frosting. The pink color is Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.

 

 

The sentiment was created using Birthday Word Dies. I raised the words on foam tape for extra dimension. To create the small white circles, I thinned out some white acrylic paint with a little water and used the end of a paint brush. I meant to round the top corners before taking a picture, but forgot. It would probably look more like cake if I glued some candles at the top. I still have time to play around with the design before her birthday.

 

      

 ******************************************

This month's prize for a randomly selected winner is:

 

We hope you play along in our monthly challenge for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store! Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store to grab all your favorite products! They also have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

Conie Fong: HAPPY BIRTHDAY You Magnificent Creature!

Happy Thursday friends! I'm on a yeti kick, so here is birthday card featuring another adorable Yeti from Conie Fong's Yeti Bundle. I love that this bundle comes with images that can be used for various holidays and occasions. An added bonus is that because these are digital files, you can manipulate them in different ways. 

For this card, I colored the image with Copic Markers and cut it out with scissors. Since I wanted the image to pop out of the frame, I cut around his arms and the present and raised him on foam tape. The Photo Frame Die is from Jaded Blossom. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Monster Munchies Stamp Set.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Hugs,
Rosie

Conie Fong: YETI BUNDLE

Happy Tuesday friends! Are you surviving Snowmageddon 2026? We were very fortunate that we got mostly snow instead of ice so we didn't lose any electricity from downed power lines. Thank goodness! This cutie patootie Yeti digital image from Conie Fong's Yeti Bundle is clearly enjoying the cold weather, while at the same time gearing up for Valentine's Day. I am a Yeti lover, and all of the Yetis in this bundle are ADORABLE!

I love the versatility of digital stamps because you can print them any size, and even tilt them like I did with this guy. The image was colored with Copic Markers. I then used a cloud stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to create the sky. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's XOXO Stamp Set.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!
