I Am Roses + Conie Fong Pumpkin Gnome

Happy Saturday friends! Today, I'm ending the month of August with another Halloween card using gorgeous I Am Roses flowers with Conie Fong's Pumpkin Gnome.....which I altered to be a Jack-O-Lantern Gnome. I just used some die cut-outs to add a little face to the pumpkin. I love this little guy! Isn't he the cutest little wizard now!

Jaded Blossom: SPOOKY SEASON!

Happy Friday everyone! Last month was Christmas in July, and this month I'm doing Halloween in August! I loved the recently released Photo Frame Die so I decided to use it for a Halloween card. To create this spooky scene, I started off with some paper from Doodlebug Design. The string of bats at the top of the card is from Halloween Banner Dies. The other shapes are from Halloween Dies. 

I had these fun googly eyes with lashes so I had to use them on the ghost. I raised the bats and spiders on foam tape for extra dimension. The sentiment is from Spooky Season Stamp Set.

Remember, you still have until August 31st to play along in the Jaded Blossom Birthday 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!

I wanted Emmy to be holding the letters, so I used a craft knife and cut around her arm and hand to insert the letters under her arm.

I used the new Photo Frame Die to go on the front of the cellophane bag. The nurse was created using: Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, and Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons. Isn't she so cute?!!

The sentiment is from the new Scrub Life Stamp Set. I used the coordinating Outline Dies to cut it out so I could raise it on foam tape.

Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 3

Happy Wednesday Friends! Today, we are on Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical 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.

I'm on a roll with these little gift box holders so today I created another one to hold this adorable Squishmallow First Aid Kit. And BONUS.....it's a shaker!! The box portion was created using the Build A Booth: Treat Box Add Ons. On the Treat Box, I used the FREEBIE OFFER Medical Supplies Stencil. 

I used the Stylized Rectangle Dies to create the top shaker part. The words FIRST AID KIT were created using the words from the Photo Frame Die. To create the squishmallow cat, I used the stem from the Mushroom House Die, the reindeer ears from Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 3, and the little nose came from the Bicycle and Friends Die. The black eyeball is from an Eye For An Eye Shape Sprinkles.      

Inside the shaker, I created the shaker bits using the new Medical Embellishment Cluster dies. When I cut them out, I glued two pieces back to back so that way if they get turned upside down inside the shaker it doesn't show the rough unfinished cut side.

Happy Tuesday Friends! Today, we are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical 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.

I had these cute Pochacco Band aids in my stash, so I created a band aid box holder using the new products with the Build A Booth: Treat Box Add Ons. On the Treat Box, I used the new Bandaid Stencil with Salvaged Patina, Speckled Egg, and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Inks.

Next up was trying to recreate Pochacco using JB Dies. I started off with the Gnome Friends: Bunny Die. To create his eyes and nose I used the eyes from the ghost in Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons. His ears were created using the coffee bean die from Gnome Dies: Coffee Add Ons. For the hair on his head, I used the tail of the pinata from Gnome Dies: Cinco de Mayo Add Ons. One of the hats from Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 3 was used for his shirt. His arms are from the new Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons. 

To complete the project, I added the new Photo Frame Die to the top of the treat box. The little heart for the "i" is from Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons.

Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 1

Happy Monday Friends! Today, we are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical 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 new release features products to honor those in the medical field. I have a lot of family and friends who are nurses so these will definitely come in handy! They also make amazing pick-me-up cards and projects. I found this awesome bottle of LOVE PILLS  that hold personal messages from you (on Amazon), and decided to use the Build A Booth Die to make an adorable gift holder for them.

To create the doctor gnome, I used the following dies: Girl Gnome Dies (hat/hands/pigtails with bows), Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons (gnome shape/face/bangs/nose/eyes), Gnome Faces Stamps (smile), and the new Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons (arms/medical coat/shoes/pill bottle). On the pill bottle, I add a pill sticker from Doodlebug Design Get Well Soon Puffy Icon Stickers.

For the booth that holds the pill jar and the polka dot paper on the large pills, I used decorative paper from Doodlebug Design Happy Healing 6x6 Paper Pad. This paper pad is so cute!! The ribbon banner die is from Build A Booth Dies. I created the large pills to add to the banner using the new Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons. The white medical bag was also created using the Medical Add Ons. The sentiment is from the new Scrub Life Stamp Set and was cut out using the Scrub Life Outline Dies. I did use the Build A Booth Die: Treat Box Add Ons to form the sides, but it was a bit too narrow to hold the pill bottle. I recommend using the Crate Die instead.

Inside each pill is a strip of paper that you can write whatever messages you want. Isn't that awesome?! I think it's a great present for someone heading off to college or someone who is sick. Whenever they are feeling down or need some encouragement, they can open a pill and read a message from you.

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

Today, I'm continuing with my Halloween in August theme and decided to create a ghostly birthday card. I used a stitched border balloon die from Border Dies 2 to cut out some green decorative paper from Doodlebug Design to add to the corner. Next, I added a white ribbon bow and then used a white acrylic paint pen to draw in the ribbon hanging down for the ghost to hang onto. The ghost and the word BOO are from Gnome Dies: Spooky Add Ons.

 

 

I used white embossing powder to add "Happy Birthday from So Many Birthdays 5 Stamp Set. To finish off the card, I added googly eyes to the word BOO.

 

Here is the picture of the inside. I used my own handwriting to write in the sentiment and added black ghosts using Gnome Dies: Spooky Add Ons.
