Jaded Blossom's April 2026 Release Blog Hop

Hey Everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's April Stamp Release Blog Hop.  

If you're here from Jaded Blossom you're in the right place, if you're just passing through start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing.  I also have the complete line up at the bottom.
Here is what I made:





I found these adorable rubber ducky gummies and blue jellybeans to make a super cute baby shower favor!  I created this super cute little favor bag using the Goody Bag Die and cut out a portion of the NEW Stitched Bubble Card Mat Die out with the rectangle layer die included with the Goody Bag for both the front and back.For the front I used the NEW Baby Gnome Dies to create this adorable baby splashing around in a bubble bath!  To create the bubble looking layers I used the Border Dies 2 and added a rubber ducky from the NEW Gnome Dies: Baby Add Ons and used the Gnome Dies: Firefighter Add Ons to add the splashes of water.  I then stamped the Oh Baby from the Mini Human Stamp Set on one of the Candy Charms & Banner Dies and added some fun bubble embellishments from my stash.For the back I used the Stitched Square Dies to cut out an image from the NEW Welcome to Parenthood Stamp Set and then colored and fussy cut out the rubber duck image and popped it up with foam squares.  I just can't get over the cuteness of the new baby gnomes and had so much fun making this little goody bag.

  Hello Crafty Friends! It's Day 3 of Jaded Blossom's February 2026 Release and today we are showing off the NEW Baby Dies 2, NEW Welcome to Parenthood Stamps, and Duck Stencil.

The NEW Baby Dies 2 includes this adorable stork that I made with shimmery white paper and carrying a pretty pink bag!  I used the Stitched Oval Dies and Scallop Oval Dies as a backdrop for my stork and used the Rectangle Dies 1 to cut out the background paper to give the stitched look around the edges.  I also used the NEW Gnome Dies: Baby Add Ons to add a little heart to the center of the bag and the NEW Little Gnomie Stamps & Outline Dies for the sentiment.

Jaded Blossom's April 2026 Release Day 1

  Hello Crafty Friends!  It's Day 1 of Jaded Blossom's April 2026 Release and this one is all about babies!!!  Today we are showcasing the NEW Gnome Dies: Baby Add Ons and NEW Little Gnomie Stamp Set and Coordinating Outline Dies!  This release is packed full of baby cuteness, and I couldn't resist making a coffee gift card holder when I saw the sentiment about baby naps and coffee!  This sweet little gift will help any mom with that well needed energy boost especially when the baby doesn't nap!

To make this gift card holder I cut a piece of white cardstock at 4¼ x 11 and scored it 1½ and 5½, on the end that is scored at 1½ I used the Stitched Circle Dies to cut out a notch that makes it easier to grab the gift card out and used score tape to adhere the edges down.  To create the front, I cut out a piece of pink cardstock at 3¾ x 4 and then a coffee cup pattern paper cut ⅛ in smaller, and a piece of teal cardstock cut at 1¼ x 4.  I used the Girl Gnome Dies for my cute little momma holding a coffee mug from the Gnome Dies and a baby bottle from the NEW Gnome Dies: Baby Add Ons.  I used the NEW Little Gnomie Stamp Set and Outline Dies to add this super fun sentiment and added a couple coffee beans from the Build a Booth: Coffee Add Ons, then to finish it off I added another bean to a fun banner from the Candy Charms & Banner Dies and added a few little pink hearts.

For the inside I added some of the coffee cup pattern paper (2⅛ x 3⅞) with a pink mat (2¼ x 4) to the side the gift card goes in and added the fun sentiment from Mini Human.  For the middle sentiment I used the Coffee and Friends Stamp Set and gave it some color and sparkle using Copic markers and a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Jaded Blossom April 2026 Monthly Challenge

 Jaded Blossom April 2026 Monthly Challenge

Theme: Sympathy

    It's the first Sunday of the month which means it's time for a new monthly challenge at Jaded Blossom and I have a simple but stunning Sympathy Card to share that I made for inspiration.

For this simplistic design I inked the edges of some woodgrain cardstock cut at 4¼ x 5½ for the background and added a piece of textured green cardstock with torn edges and slightly crinkled by hand to the middle.  I then stamped the fern leaf from Thinking of You with VersaMark and heated black embossing powder on a piece of vellum, tore the edges, and left a little extra on the top and bottom to be able to wrap around and adhere to the back so that the adhesive wouldn't show.  I wrapped black thread/floss several times and tied a bow over the stem of the leaf and then added it all to an A2 card base.  To finish it off I used the Mini Tag Dies 2 to cut out a sentiment from the set Wishing You Comfort and placed it in the bottom right-hand corner.

Easter Treats

 Hello friends, I'm on the Jaded Blossom Blog today with several fun Easter Treats I made for some special little tots!  Some chocolate testing may have been required for quality purposes! 😆 I just love all the fun colors spring and Easter bring, and who doesn't love bunnies?!?!

BUNNY BAIT

These Bunny Gnomes sure found a treasure hopping along this carrot patch!  I used the XL Topper Die to make the base and added some carrots in the ground from the Wheelbarrow Dies: Easter Add Ons.  I then used the Gnome Dies and Girl Gnome Dies and dressed them up as bunnies holding a carrot using the Gnome Dies: Easter Add Ons and Easter Add Ons 2.  To finish it off I used the Mini Tag Dies 2 to cut out a perfect little tag for the "Happy Easter" from the Bunny Trail stamp set and added a bow!

CHUBBY BUNNIES

For this fun chubby bunny Easter gift, I wrapped up some fun bubbles and a light spinner toy in a clear bag and tied it off with a fun ribbon and tag!  To create the tag, I used the Treat Tag Die, Spring Dies, Candy Charms & Banner Dies, Easter Candies stamp set, and Chubby Bunny Die.

Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb Cardstock, Sizzix, P13 Skin Tones, Doodlebug: bunny hop 6x6 and 12x12, 12x12 solids, 12x12 crushed velvet

Ink:  SSS - Versafine Clair Nocturne, sprout

Embellishments:  Nuvo Crystal Drops - Ebony Black, ribbon, floss/thread,

Lucky Ladybugs

 Hello, my pawsome friends, it's my day to post on the Jaded Blossom Blog and I have a couple Lucky Ladybugs to share with you today!

I used the Gnome Friends: Ladybug Dies and Ladybug Faces to make both these lucky ladies and gave them a four-leaf clover to hold from the Gnome Dies: St Patrick's Day Add Ons.  I used the Card Mat Dies to cut out the background paper and then layered on some various sized rectangle pattern papers on top.  For the sentiments on the front and insides I used a combination of the Ladybug Kisses and Lucky Vibes stamp sets along with the coordinating outline dies. 

Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 & 110lb Cardstock, Sizzix, white shimmer, Doodlebug: 12x12 lucky me, 12x12 solids, and 6x6 petite prints

Ink:  SSS - Versafine Clair Nocturne
