Jaded Blossom February 2026 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 1

Happy Monday Friends! We are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom February 2026 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.

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.

February 2026 Release will include:

4 - New Dies

Conie Fong: YETI BUNDLE

Happy Tuesday friends! Are you surviving Snowmageddon 2026? We were very fortunate that we got mostly snow instead of ice so we didn't lose any electricity from downed power lines. Thank goodness! This cutie patootie Yeti digital image from Conie Fong's Yeti Bundle is clearly enjoying the cold weather, while at the same time gearing up for Valentine's Day. I am a Yeti lover, and all of the Yetis in this bundle are ADORABLE!


I love the versatility of digital stamps because you can print them any size, and even tilt them like I did with this guy. The image was colored with Copic Markers. I then used a cloud stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to create the sky. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's XOXO Stamp Set.


hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Hugs,
Rosie

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. 

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

Regular Price for the Release Package is $146.99

FREEBIE OFFER: Border Stencil
1) Free with orders $50 or more (before tax/shipping)

Jaded Blossom January 2026 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 2

Happy Tuesday Friends! We are on Day 2 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. My son's two favorite foods are french fries and pizza, LOL! For my project today, I created a Pizza Box Set with 3.5 x 3.5 mini Valentine's Day cards.


The box was created using the Pizza Box Die with the Hot and Fresh Stamps. The completed box measures: 3.75 x 3.75 x 0.5 inches. I used the checkered pattern stamps on the sides of the box and the top panel of the box.

For the mini cards inside the box, I used Gnome Dies: Pizza Add Ons and Pizza Party Stamps (from yesterday's sneak peek).  

 On the inside of the cards I stamped Valentine's Day sentiments from XOXO Stamps.

Conie Fong: BAILEY AND BEE

Happy Thursday friends! Have you checked out Conie Fong's FREE drawing videos on her YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE? Conie walks you step-by-step on how to draw simple images. If you have ever been interested in drawing or need an activity to keep the kids entertained, then head over and Subscribe! She is also loading these images into her ConieFongArt Etsy Store so you can purchase the digital line art to color if you don't want to draw them.

Today's card features one of my favorite illustrations from Conie Fong called BAILEY AND BEE. I think it's so sweet combining the bear and bee together. I wanted the image to be the focal point so I printed it A2 size.


The scene is printed on Xpress It Blending Card, and colored with Copic Markers. I used a cloud stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to make the clouds. To add the sentiment inside the heart, I used MS Word.


I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a separate group to share your drawings if you give them a try. Head over and join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group to share your drawings. We would love to Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Jaded Blossom: LOVE YOUR FUREVER

Happy Friday everyone! Valentine's Day is quickly approaching so I'll be posting lovey dovey cards over the next several weeks. Jaded Blossom products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! For my card today, I wanted to use the Love Stacked Word Die. I still had the Wild Valentine Stamp Set sitting on my desk from the new release and spotted the sentiment "Love You Furever" so I knew I wanted to add a furry animal. I went through my stash and decided to use the little puppy from Bicycle and Friends Die because I could make it look like he was hanging from the letter O.

I cut all the puppy pieces from Copic Xpress It Blending Card and use my Copic Markers to color up each piece. Then I glued him to the letter O. I added foam tape to the back of the letters to give it more dimension. I used the Card Mat Dies for the stitched white panel.

Remember, we have a current "ANYTHING GOES" Challenge until February 1st 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!

Have a great weekend!

The Greeting Farm January 2025 Stamp Feature Day 3: COFFEE COUPLE

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on our last day of Stamp Features for the January 2025 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 Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release.

This next set reminds me of my son and his girlfriend so I colored them up to look like them. Aren't they the cutest COFFEE COUPLE ever?! I LOVE this set! I stamped extra Anya hands and added them to the coffee cups and donut for both Anya and Ian.


The coffee shop background was a free clipart file from freepik.com. You can download it HERE. I colored the sidewalk area gray and used a stencil to add the clouds/sky.

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.

Hugs,
Rosie
