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

The start of school is quickly approaching, so what better time than to show you some ideas for Teacher Appreciation gifts. Today, I used the Candy Bar Slider Die to create a holder for pencils for a male teacher. 

 

  

To create the gnome I used Gnome Dies and Gnome Dies: School Add Ons. The sentiment from School Candies *Grid Style* is stamped on Label Shape Dies 1. The tiny pencils are also from Gnome Dies: School Add Ons.

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!

Jaded Blossom January 2026 New Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday friends! It's time for the Jaded Blossom January 2026 New Release Blog Hop! All new items are NOW available for purchase! Click HERE to shop. If you're here from Cynthia'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 another pizza box using the Pizza Box Die along with all of the New Release products. I LOVED Amanda's idea of creating a larger pizza (you can see her idea HERE) so I created a large heart pizza for the top of my box using Heart Dies 1 and Heart Dies 2. The sentiment on the pizza is a mix of the Pizza Party Stamps and the word PIZZA from the Build A Booth: Pizza Add Ons. The toppings on the pizza came from Gnome Dies: Pizza Add Ons. For the checkered pattern behind the pizza, I used the Checkered Stencil.  

This time I filled the pizza box with efrutti Pizza Gummi Candy that I found on Amazon. On the inside top panel, I used Hot and Fresh Pizza Stamps for the sentiment and checkered border. 

I also decorated the inside bottom of the pizza box so when the gummi is taken out there is a fun message. The checkered border was made using Hot and Fresh Pizza Stamps. The slices of pizza came from the Build A Booth: Pizza Add Ons, and the sentiment is from Pizza Party Stamps.

These were a lot of fun to put together! My friend is a teacher so I'm going to make these for her students for Valentine's Day.

Jaded Blossom January 2026 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 3

Happy Wednesday Friends! We are on Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom January 2026 Release. You can grab the "Gotta Have It Now Package" right now for a discounted amount. The entire release goes live on Thursday if you want to purchase individual items instead of the full package.

We are a PIZZA-LOVING family so this months' release is right up my alley! Today, I used the new Build A Booth: Pizza Add Ons with the original Build A Booth Dies and Crate Die to create this party favor holding some Pizza Goldfish snacks! I think these would be so cute to give to students for Valentine's Day or to have as little favors at a birthday party. 

The sentiment "Hot and Delicious" is from Hot and Fresh Pizza Stamps. 

The whole pizza on the side of the box came from Gnome Dies: Pizza Add Ons.

Winter is here and it's time for hot cocoa! I think it would be fun to invite some friends over, gift them these snowman mugs with hot cocoa, candy canes, and chocolate along with a book, and hang out reading in our PJs! 

 

 

To create the coordinating tag, I used the Treat Tag Die with Snowman Blend Stamps. It's a tag that came together fairly quickly so the perfect option to mass produce.

Jaded Blossom October 2025 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 2

Happy Tuesday Friends! We are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom October 2025 Release. You can grab the "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount. If you wait until the release goes live, the bundle price will go up.

This release brings you so many awesome products for Christmas! I am loving everything coming your way this month! Today, Jaded Blossom is showcasing Gnome Friends: Mouse Dies, Mouse Faces Stamp Set, Say Cheese Stamp Set, and Say Cheese Outline Dies. I decided to go with a birthday theme and created a birthday card and a little cheddar cheese sign for this cute little charcuterie plate.

For the card, I used the Photo Frame Die and had this adorable mouse peeking out. I glued the mouse to the back of the white frame, and then raised the mouse and frame on foam tape for extra dimension.

I love the versatility of Jaded Blossom products! To go with the card, I made a mouse with cheddar cheese sign for the little charcuterie plate. I used deckle scissors on the sides of the sentiment panel. The black sign handle was created using a die that's part of the Wheelbarrow Die. I think it would be so cute and whimsical to do a larger board and have several mice holding cheese label signs. I need a stamp set that says: Here's Some _______________. That way I could just write in the different items.
