The Greeting Farm March 2025 Stamp Feature Day 3: ANYA'S CANDY SHOP

Happy Friday friends! We are on our last day of Stamp Features for the March 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 this week showcasing the new release.

Anya is expanding her business from flowers to candy! ANYA'S CANDY SHOP carries everything from lollipops to gumballs to candy sticks to hard candy to sweethearts. This set is perfect to let your friends know they are super sweet.

To create the candy stand, I used a clipart file HERE. I pasted it into MS Word and lengthened the booth so I could cut it apart to fit the tall candy jars. I used a cloud stencil for the sky and cut some patterned paper for the grassy area.

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.

The Greeting Farm March 2025 Stamp Feature Day 2: YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

Happy Thursday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the March 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 this week showcasing the new release.

Sunny days are right around the corner, and these adorable animals have gathered together to soak it all in! Our next set called  YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE comes with 6 cute animals, 2 sentiments, and a variety of accessory images. Of course, I had to include them all on this card.

To create the outdoor scene I used the Meadow Backdrop: Landscape Die from Lawn Fawn. I raised the bottom grassy area and some of the animals on foam tape for extra dimension.

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. See you back here tomorrow for Day 3 of Stamp Features!

Are you enthralled by the courtship, romance, and customs captured in books like Pride and Prejudice and Bridgerton? Then REGENCY COUPLE is perfect for you! This set features Anya and Ian dressed up in a Regency style and comes with 2 sentiments, and 5 accessory stamps. I colored up these cuties to represent my son and his beautiful girlfriend.

To create the outdoor scene I used the Woodland Tree Silhouette Die from Memory Box, Inc. and the Meadow Backdrop: Landscape Die from Lawn Fawn for the grassy area. I raised Anya, Ian, the heart, and bird on foam tape for extra dimension.

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. See you back here tomorrow for Day 2 of Stamp Features!

Jaded Blossom March 2025 Mini Stamp Release!

Happy Monday Friends! It's time for our March 2025 Mini Stamp Release over at Jaded Blossom! All new items will be available Tomorrow, Tuesday 3/18/25 at 12 am EST.

I used all 3 new Stamp Sets on the outside, inside, and back of this card. I wanted to go more elegant, so I used gold embossing powder and the fern leaf stamp from the Thinking Of You Stamp Set with the Diagonal Card Mat Die to create the background pattern.

To create the sentiment strip, I cut a long piece of kraft cardstock and gold embossed the sentiment from Everyday Vertical Greetings Stamp Set with the butterflies from Thinking Of You. After embossing, I inked up the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I decorated the inside of the card with the fern image and used a larger sentiment from an older set called Give Thanks Stamp Set. I used the new Handmade Kindness Stamp Set on the post-it note and also the back of the card.

Jaded Blossom: HANG IN THERE!

Happy Friday everyone! For the last few weeks, I've been doing a Penguin for all the Seasons/Holidays series because I love penguins as much as I love gnomes. It's so much fun adding these cute penguins to different scenes. With Spring right around the corner, I decided to take this little penguin outdoors paragliding! I used the little penguin from Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, and added a cute little bow to her from Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 3.

Did you see DT Cynthia's Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge in the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group? The challenge is to choose 3 elements in a row in honor of the classic game and create a project! There is an album for you to play along. You have until March 20, 2025, 11:59 pm PST to add your card for a chance at winning a prize! 

Well, my card is a double tic-tac-toe! Across the top of the board, I used Die-cuts, Flowers (decorative paper), and a Stencil (clouds using Enchanted Night Sky Stencil). It also fills in the diagonal on the board using Die-cuts, Pastels, and Ribbon. I used the umbrella from Gnome Dies: Weather Add Ons with some thin pink ribbon to create the paraglider. The grassy knoll was created using Mushroom Dies. The sentiment is from the Take It Slow Stamp Set.

Remember, we also have a current "ANYTHING GOES" Challenge until April 5th 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!

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

I'm continuing with my "Penguin for all the holidays" theme, and decided to do another card for St. Patrick's Day before I move on to Easter. To create this adorable guy, I used Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, Gnome Dies: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons (hat), Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (balloon), and Penguin Faces Stamp Set. The sentiment is from Lucky Charm Stamp Set.

 

  

To add to the whimsy, I added the 4 leaf clover balloon on an action wobble so it shakes, LOL! I just love these adorable penguins!

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Easter Bunny Eggs

Happy Friday friends! I'm back today for I Am Roses with a cute Easter card featuring Conie Fong's Easter Bunny Eggs. Isn't he the cutest?!! I love that he's popping out out of the egg. I printed this image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. 

The bunny paper is from Doodlebug Design. I used the Square Internal Scallops Dies 1 from Jaded Blossom to create the frame around the image. To finish off the card, I added R43 Pale Pink with Pink Center Peonies, White Cherry Blossoms, S10 Pink Flowers, and Tiny Green Leaves.

Remember, you have until March 8th to link up your project on the IAR Blog. Be sure to use a minimum of 3 I Am Roses products on your card to qualify for a prize. I can't wait to see what you make!

Jaded Blossom: LET'S GET SHAMROCKED!

Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe today's the last day of February! So what's up next? St. Patrick's Day, and this cutie patootie is ready to get shamrocked! I don't even drink, but I think I need to join this penguin for a few rounds! Maybe that pot of gold will come my way also, haha!

Jaded Blossom products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! To create the penguin, I used Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, Gnome Dies: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons (hat), Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (shamrock on hat, beer), and Penguin Faces Stamp Set. For the background scene, I used Border Dies 2 (grass area), Rainbow Dies, and Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (pot of gold, shamrocks on pot). The sentiment is from Lucky Vibes Stamp Set.

Remember, we have a current "USE A STENCIL" Challenge until March 1st for a chance at winning a free stamp set! You don't have to have a blog to play along.

Polka Dot Orchard: SUNSHINE OF LIFE

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back today sharing a Polka Dot Orchard card using this gorgeous coffee mug image and sentiment from the Sunshine of Life Digital Set. My friend said she loved the colors so much and she wished there really was a coffee mug like this, and I have to agree! I'd buy it in an instant! I hope we all try to be a rainbow is someone else's cloud.

Copics:

Pink: R81, R83, R85
Orange: YR02, YR04, YR97, YR09
Yellow: Y11, Y15, YR23
Green: YG23, YG25, YG67
Blue: B00, B02, B05
Purple: V12, V15, V17
Sun: Y11, Y15, YR23
Mug Blue: BG11

I copied and pasted the mug into MS Word, and adjusted the size to make it a little bit taller. I then overlaid the sentiment in the top right corner of the mug. After coloring, I fussy cut the image out. The paper is from Doodlebug Design. I added a ribbon bow to the top and raised the image on foam tape for some dimension.

I'm excited to be sharing cards using Polka Dot Orchard images again. She has also expanded her line and the store now carries rubber stamps, stencils, digital paper, etc. If you do make some PDO cards, please come share your creations with us on the Friends of Polka Dot Orchard Facebook Page so we can Ooooh and Ahhhh over them!  

Hugs,
Rosie
