I added several gorgeous red and white flowers from the IAR Store. In the middle of the card, I added a wide ribbon and then a thinner ribbon on top with a bow. The sentiment is raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

Jaded Blossom October 2026 New Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday friends! It's time for the Jaded Blossom October 2026 New Release Blog Hop! All new items are NOW available for purchase! Click HERE to shop. If you're here from Lee-Ann'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.

For today's winter scene card, I used a lot of dies including most of the ones introduced this week. I wanted to show a couple enjoying a cookie and some hot cocoa outside on a park bench. I had so much fun adding detail after detail! That's the great thing about Jaded Blossom products. There is so much variety at your hands that you can pretty much make any scene you want! The full list of stamps and dies are below.

List Of Supplies:
NEW ITEMS: House Slider: Christmas Add Ons (string of lights at the top), Christmas Sugar Cookie Dies (Christmas tree cookie), Reindeer Coffee Mug Die, Santa Coffee Mug Die, A Gift For You Stamp Set (sentiment)

BOY GNOME: Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1 (gnome body, mustache), Gnome Dies (beard, shoes), Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Faces Add Ons (bangs), Gingerbread Faces Stamp Set, Gnome Dies: Winter Add Ons (hat), Santa Coffee Mug Die (arms with mittens, Santa mug)

 GIRL GNOME: Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Faces Add Ons (gnome body, bangs), Girl Gnome Dies (hair, shoes), Gingerbread Faces Stamp Set, Gnome Dies: Beekeeper Add On (hat), Gnome Dies: Winter Add Ons (scarf), Santa Coffee Mug Die (mittens), Reindeer Coffee Mug Die (mug)  

Gnome Dies: BBQ Add Ons (bite marks out of cookie)
Spring Scenic Dies (snowbank)
Park Bench Die (cut twice to make it longer)
Mini Tag Dies 2 (to cut out sentiment)

To create a longer strand of lights, I cut the die twice. I glued the original strand in the middle of the card, and used the 2nd strand of lights to fill in on both sides. I colored the bulbs on the lights with glitter markers. I also cut the Park Bench twice to make it longer. I wish I would have extended it out a little further so you could see the ends of the bench on the sides of the gnomes. For the ground, I just tore brown paper. The sentiment was cut out using a die from Mini Tag Dies 2, and raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

Jaded Blossom October 2026 Release Day 3: House Slider Christmas Add Ons & Reindeer Coffee Mug

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 3 of the Jaded Blossom October 2026 Release. You can grab the entire "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount! Individual items will be available for purchase on Thursday.

This month, we are shifting gears to Christmas (my favorite holiday)! Today, I made a Gingerbread House Gift Card holder using the House Slider: Christmas Add Ons with the House Slider Die. To create the gumdrop rooftop, I took the scallop roof top from the House Slider Die, cut in half, and flipped it upside down so the mini gumdrops (from Doodlebug Design puffy stickers) could fit in the scallop area.

 
The little balls on the wreath and trees along with the small white antlers above the windows came from the Reindeer Coffee Mug Die. I raised the mini trees and the garland above the door on foam tape for extra dimension.

On the inside pull-out panel, I used two sentiments from the new A Gift For You Stamp Set.

Jaded Blossom October 2026 Release Day 1: PRETTY BOW DIE

Happy Monday friends! We are on Day 1 of the Jaded Blossom October 2026 Release. You can grab the entire "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount! Individual items will be available for purchase on Thursday.

This month, we are shifting gears to Christmas (my favorite holiday)! Today, I'm showcasing Pretty Bow Die, A Gift For You Stamp Set (sentiment), and the FREEBIE OFFER Trendy Christmas Tree Stencil. I was inspired by Helen Gullett's Christmas Wreath Card HERE, and decided to give it a go using Jaded Blossom products.

I created a red, glittery bow using red glitter cardstock. It turned out stunning! I wanted the background to be subtle, so I inked up dark blue cardstock with the Trendy Christmas Tree Stencil using Versamark Embossing Ink (no powder). The embossing ink just darkens the cardstock without adding any color. The gold window frame was created using the Stitched Arch Dies and thin strips of the same gold foil paper. I needed a large wreath circle, so I used the largest two dies from Stitched Circle Dies to create the circle. The wreath foliage and berries are from Build A Wreath Die. The sentiment is from the new A Gift For You Stamp Set. The fishtail banner was created using one of the tag dies in the Pretty Bow Die Set (I just flipped the paper and die-cut a fish tail on the other side of the tag). The bow and sentiment strip are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

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

Today, I have a spooky Halloween card using some Jaded Blossom dies in a creative way. I turned the Gnome Friends: Gingerbread Die into a voodoo doll! I cut the pieces from white cardstock and inked up the edges with black ink. I then added stitching details using a black pen. The doll's face was created using different parts of faces included in the Halloween Gnome Faces Stamp Set. I added a real black button for one of his eyes (I should have added thread to the button holes so you could tell it was a button). His heart is from Embellishment Clusters Die. The drip border is from Halloween Dies, and the word SPOOKY is from Halloween Dies 2. The background was created using the Stitched Spiderweb Card Mat Die.

 

To make this card interactive, I added an ACTION WOBBLE behind his head. When you flick the doll, it wobbles (check out the video on Facebook)!
