Two of my favorite stamp sets from Jaded Blossom are Monster Munchies and Rawr. I just love these quirky monsters and the versatility of these sets. They can be used for so many different occasions. I think they make the perfect BEST FRIENDS card!

The background clouds were created using the Vertical Stitched Cloud Card Mat Die. To frame the scene, I used the Square Internal Scallops Dies 1. The word FRIENDS was created using the Photo Frame Die.

The Greeting Farm February 2026 Stamp Feature Day 1: MONSTER HUGS

Happy Monday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the February 2026 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Joni and I are on the Blog this week showcasing the new release.

Instead of a blog hop every month, we are going to do challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store. The challenges will start on the 15th of each month and run until the 14th of the next month so you have several weeks to work on your project that fits the challenge theme. Our first challenge of 2026 is a SKETCH CHALLENGE. To enter, upload your card to the Challenge Album in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group (challenge rules will be shown under the Album).

Today, I am featuring MONSTER HUGS, featuring four mischievous, yet lovable creatures known for their jagged teeth and playful expressions. Monster Hugs strikes the ideal balance between spooky and sweet!

The background tree die is from Lawn Fawn. I altered it a bit by cutting away some of the tree so the monsters could peek out from the trunks.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store to grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations. See you back here tomorrow for Day 2 of Stamp Features!

Hugs,
Rosie

Jaded Blossom: MONSTER MARSH Bag Topper

Happy Friday everyone! Halloween is quickly approaching so I'm creating various treat holders for those upcoming spooky get-togethers. I LOVE the versatility of Jaded Blossom Stamps and Dies and how you can mix and match them to create some monsterific projects.

Today, I combined the Build A Booth: Monster Add Ons with the XL Topper Die to create a bag topper for Monster Marsh chocolate stuffed marshmallows! To be able to create a face, I needed more space at the top to fit the hair and eyes so I cut the topper die in half, turned it upside down and glued the new top edge together. That gave me more room to add the eyes, and also moved the rounded corners to the bottom to create more of a face shape.

I cut two hair pieces from black cardstock to go along the top of the bag topper. The handle area of the topper die became the mouth for my monster. I used the negative space from the jack-o-lantern mouth die in the Build A Booth: Monster Add Ons to create the teeth. The sentiment is from the Bone Chilling Treats Stamp Set.

Remember, you have until September 30th to play along in the Jaded Blossom Anything Goes Challenge for a chance at winning a free stamp set! You don't have to have a blog to play along. You can load your card to the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group and then add your link from Facebook. There are instructions HERE to help you!

And be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

Have a great weekend!

Jaded Blossom: MINI MONSTER RELEASE!

Happy Friday! It's time for the Jaded Blossom Mini Monster Release! To celebrate, we are having a little hop to showcase the fabulous projects created by the Design Team. I have the complete line up at the bottom of this post.

I created two projects for this release. My first one is a Monster Build A Booth candy holder with Monster Hershey Kisses. I used the new Build A Booth: Monster Add Ons with the Build A Booth Die and the new Build A Booth: Treat Box Add Ons.

I think this monster is hilarious! I added die-cut eyes and filled in the spaces with smaller googly eyes. The sentiment is from the Monster Munchies Stamp Set.

For my 2nd project, I used a wood crate from the Dollar Treat and created a fun little treat box to hold these light-up Monster toys and more Monster Hershey Kisses. I painted the crate using black acrylic paint, and added a large sentiment from Large Halloween Treats Stamps + Outline Dies.

To create the monsters, I used Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Monster Add Ons 1, and Gnome Dies: Monster Add Ons 2. I taped them to paper straws. They are also taped inside the crate, but can be removed to be used as cupcake toppers.

I challenged myself to make them look like the toys and I think they turned out pretty darn cute! The sentiments on the Gnome Dies: Sign Add Ons are from the RAWR Stamp Set.
