+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For my card today, I used an adorable digital image from Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. There are 6 different panda images and the file comes with JPEG and PNG versions of each image for a total of 12 images. It's an awesome bundle! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. The edges were inked with Distress Oxide Ink.

 

I dry embossed the background with a polka dot embossing folder. I cut the image into a circle and then framed it with a black scallop circle (dies are from Jaded Blossom). Then I kicked it up a notch by adding gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. Did you know that I Am Roses carries flowers in black?! They are perfect for Bee cards, Halloween cards, and Panda cards. The large white flower is the R43 Peony, followed by black cherry blossoms, small white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Pandas Are Awesome Stamp Set.

Jaded Blossom: LET'S PARTY & GET FLOCKED UP

Happy Friday everyone! I'm loving the Gnome Friends: Bird Die from Jaded Blossom so much that I'm back again today with this scene card. If you purchase this die, you have to get the Bird Faces Stamp Set because they really give the bird so much character, and some of them are just hilarious. This card would also make a great invitation for Memorial Day or a birthday.....just saying!

I used the beer mug from Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons, and the Beach Chair Die. The sentiment is from Fowl Language Stamp Set.

Don't forget, we have an ANYTHING GOES challenge going on right now until June 6th in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group for a chance to win a $20 Jaded Blossom gift certificate. 

Have a great weekend!

Jaded Blossom May 2026 Release Day 1: BIRDS

Happy Monday friends! We are on Day 1 of the Jaded Blossom May 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 have a new friend joining the family. Say tweet, tweet to the cutest bird ever! My card showcases several new items: Gnome Friends: Bird Die, Bird Faces Stamp Set, Horizontal Stitched Cloud Card Mat Die, and Flappy Birthday Stamp Set + Outline Dies. I love the versatility of this bird. I made mine a blue bird, but my DT sisters made their birds into other varieties!

The stitched cloud card mat die measures 4 x 5.25. I wanted to extend the scene to fit a 5.5 x 5.5 square card so I cut a bottom grass scene using the Stitched Flower Card Mat Die with Border Dies 2. The card base is 5.5 x 5.5 so there is a white border around the scene. I raised the bird and sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension.

The month of May is MERMAY so I'm starting off the month with a mermaid card, of course! What is MerMay? It's a month long challenge to share mermaid-themed creations. My card features the Mermaid Silhouette Stencil. I taped off parts of the stencil at the top so it showed only the full mermaids, and used various blue Distress Oxide Inks to create the mermaid scene. To create the sunset, I cut a small circle from masking tape and added yellow, pink, and purple Distress Oxide Inks around the circle.

 

I cut the scene out using Card Mat Dies to get the stitched border. The sentiment is from Mermaid To Be Friends Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Panda Bundle

Happy Thursday friends! Today, I'm showcasing a card for I Am Roses featuring this adorable panda munching on bamboo leaves from Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. All of the pandas in this bundle are adorable! I printed the image on Xpress It Blending Card and coloring it with Copic Markers.

To finish off the card, I added gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. I love that IAR has so many available colors to match any color scheme. I wanted black and white to go with my panda. The large flowers are R43 White Peonies, followed by black cherry blossoms, white achillea cottage flowers, mini black roses, and tiny green leaves.

Jaded Blossom: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Happy Friday everyone! We had an amazing Patriotic Release at Jaded Blossom this week (see details below)! I think the Firework Stencil is amazing so I brought it out again for another card. For this background, I used various colors of glitter paste. I love how bright and sparkly the paste is against the dark blue cardstock! After the paste dried, I splattered some white acrylic paint over the entire background. 

I tore green cardstock for the bottom of the card. The sentiment is from the new America Strong Stamp Set. I used masking tape over parts of the words when stamping the sentiment so I could position them the way I wanted. The gnome is from Gnome Dies: Santa Sleigh, his hat is from Gnome Dies, and the flag is from Gnome Dies: Patriotic Add Ons. 

 The Patriotic Bundle is at a Discount!

Only $106.99. Regular Price $117.99 

We also have a freebie item - see details below on how to qualify.

Don't forget, we have an Challenge going on right now until May 2nd in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group for a chance to win a $20 Jaded Blossom gift certificate. 

Have a great weekend!
