Warm Up Here

Hi friends! It's the first Sunday of a new month and that means it's time to reveal a new challenge on the Jaded Blossom blog. This month the challenge is anything goes. I hope you can play along!

January Challenge:

ANYTHING GOES
(must use at least one Jaded Blossom Product)

For my card I pulled out the Build a Booth: Winter Add Ons and got to work making a little mitten and hat booth. I used red cardstock as well as papers from the Echo Park Love Notes collection  for the warm weather gear on the banner, as well as the gnome hat from the Gnome Dies: Winter Add Ons.  I cut the gnome die with papers from the P13 skin tones paper, then added a few Copic marker accents on the mustache and beard.

I added a few glitter snowflakes around my gnome and his booth, then finished with a sentiment from Hot Cocoa Bar, embossed onto the sign portion from the North Pole Sign.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you tomorrow for the start of sneak peeks for the January Jaded Blossom release!

Jaded Blossom August Release Sneaks Day 1

Hi friends! Today marks the start of sneak peeks for the August Release at Jaded Blossom! This month our gnomes are hitting the great outdoors. I hope you'll follow along as we share our makes leading up to this Thursday's release. Today our gnomes are hitting the lake for a fishing excursion as we share our first looks at the Gnome Dies: Fishing Add Ons, Best Fishes, Best Fishes Outline Dies, and the Fish Stencil.

I always seem to be running out of space on my gnome cards, so I ordered some 5 x 7 card bases and decided to try my hand at some A7 sized cards. A new size is always fun to play with!  For this one, I started with a panel I smooshed with some blue, green and gray inks, then I pulled out the new Fish Stencil and stenciled over it with green ink.

Next I decided I wanted to do a shaker card so the background could show through.  I cut a thin rectangle from navy cardstock for the window, leaving space on the side for what I had intended to be another window using the long fish die cut in the fishing add on set, but my measuring went wrong and I had already assembled things, so moved on without it. I'll have to do one with a fish shaped shaker down the road! It sounds fun.

My gnomie started with the original Gnome Dies base, then I decked him out with a fishing pole, hat and lure accent using dies from the new Gnome Dies: Fishing Add Ons. Love this hat so much. All my gnome pieces were cut from distress watercolor paper and sponged with distress inks.  I added Copic accents to his beard and mustache, then added him to the front of the shaker.  I finished with a sentiment from the new Best Fishes set, die cut with the coordinating Best Fishes Outline Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this little peek at these fun new fishing themed products!
