Jaded Blossom: SCHOOL GIFT CARD HOLDER

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm on the Jaded Blossom Blog today sharing this School Gift Card Holder using the House Slider Die. I knew this die would be great for the TEACHERS GIFTS Challenge for August. I had so much fun using the house dies to create a school! I added the brick background using the Brick Stencil. 

The pencils are from the School Panels Stamp Set. The letters for SCHOOL are from Build A Booth: Alphabet Add Ons, and are layered on top of one of the tags from Mini Tag Dies 3.

Don't forget to check out the TEACHER GIFTS Challenge in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group. We hope you play along 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.

The Greeting Farm April 2026 Stamp Feature Day 1: SMARTY PANTS

Happy Thursday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the April 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. 

Today, I am featuring SMARTY PANTS. This stamp set is an adorable collection celebrating all things studious and sweet! It features a charming lineup of book-loving critters, and captures the cozy, playful side of learning. Whether for back-to-school, teacher appreciation, or everyday encouragement, this set adds a delightful dose of brainy cuteness to your crafting. 

I printed this classroom background at 5x7 inches. Each character was stamped on Xpress It Coloring Card, and colored with Copic Markers. I then fussy cut them out. The raccoon and bunny are glued directly to the card. The hedgehog and dog are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

Instead of a blog hop every month, we are having 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 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.
