The Greeting Farm August 2026 Challenge: SLIMLINE CARDS

Happy Thursday friends! We have a brand new challenge at The Greeting Farm! Our August 2026 Challenge is: SLIMLINE CARDS! For my card today, I used this awesome clear stamp set called Surf's Up Anya! I wish I knew how to surf because I'd be out on the water all the time!

The challenges start on the 15th of each month, and run until the 14th of the next month so you have several weeks to work on your project. The full list of CHALLENGE RULES will be listed under the challenge album in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group. 

I tore pieces of cardstock and vellum, and layered them on top of each other. The palm tree and clouds are dies from Jaded Blossom. The sentiment is from the Surfs Up Anya Stamp Set. 

 

If you LOVE The Greeting Farm, please support them by purchasing their Clear Stamps, Digital Stamps, and Coloring Book Pages. They even have key charms, lanyards, stationary, and stickers. Your purchases are greatly appreciated! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations with us.

Jaded Blossom: SCHOOL GIFT CARD HOLDER

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm on the Jaded Blossom Blog today sharing this School Gift Card Holder using the House Slider Die. I knew this die would be great for the TEACHERS GIFTS Challenge for August. I had so much fun using the house dies to create a school! I added the brick background using the Brick Stencil. 

The pencils are from the School Panels Stamp Set. The letters for SCHOOL are from Build A Booth: Alphabet Add Ons, and are layered on top of one of the tags from Mini Tag Dies 3.

Happy Monday friends! We are on Day 1 of the Jaded Blossom August 2026 Release. You can grab the entire "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount! Individual items will be available for purchase on Thursday.

This month, we have a couple of new animal friends joining the family! First up, I'm showcasing Gnome Friends: Turkey Dies. This set with the Turkey Faces Stamp Set creates the cutest turkeys ever. When I saw the sentiment "Never Skip Leg Day" from the Gobble Squad Stamp Set + Outline Dies, I knew I wanted to create a turkey lifting weights. I was inspired by Lisa Dressel's workout gnome HERE, and used dies from Gnome Dies: Tiki Add Ons and Gnome Dies: Sport Add Ons 2 to create the weight bar.  

The background sky/clouds were created using the Vertical Stitched Cloud Card Mat Die. The bottom grassy area was created using Stitched Arch Dies and Mushroom Dies.

To create the gnome I used Gnome Dies and Gnome Dies: School Add Ons. The sentiment from School Candies *Grid Style* is stamped on Label Shape Dies 1. The tiny pencils are also from Gnome Dies: School Add Ons.

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Bauble Gnome

I'm finishing up Christmas In July, with a card for I Am Roses featuring this fantastic digital stamp from Conie Fong called Bauble Gnome. It's part of a larger bundle of digis that can be purchased HERE. Isn't he so adorable?! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copic Markers.

The large flowers are R43 red peonies, followed by S4-15 white flowers, red cherry blossoms, and tiny green roses leaves. 

Remember, we currently have a monthly challenge until August 8th 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!

Hugs,

Rosie

Stamping Bella: MERRY EVERYTHING!

Happy Friday friends! Today, I'm featuring a digital stamp from Stamping Bella called Merry Everything Snowglobe. Aren't those penguins so cute around the snowman? And to top it all off, I made it into a shaker card! 

 

To create the shaker, I printed the image twice. I colored up one image. On the 2nd image I cut around the snowglobe and outer penguin with scissors. Then I used a craft knife to cut around the inside. I glued clear acetate to the inside of the hole, and layered up some foam tape around the perimeter. For the inside shaker bits, I used Doodlebug Design Bitty Bubbles Shakers, and some clear acetate snowflakes from my stash. 

 

Be sure to check out the Stamping Bella Store because they recently released 10 Christmas Digital Images so you have plenty to choose from for your holiday cards! They also carry some of the best rubber stamps!

Hugs,

Rosie

Stamping Bella: PENGUIN FAMILY

Happy Wednesday friends! I'm back today for Stamping Bella featuring a digital stamp set called Penguin Family. If you follow me then you know I love penguins just as much as I love unicorns! And this adorable penguin family is having so much fun out in the snow, especially the girl penguin on the left who has rolled her brother up into a snowball, LOL!

 

 

I LOVE that Stamping Bella carries stamps that are complete scenes, because once they are colored up they become the focal point of your card. You really don't need to add anything extra. I placed a black card mat behind the scene, and kept it easy and simple so the image shines on it's own.

Jaded Blossom: EEYORE Wishes He Could Make Everything Better

Happy Monday everyone! Today, I'm sharing a card using multiple Jaded Blossom products. A customer in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group asked if someone could make Eeyore using Jaded Blossom dies. So I put on my creative hat and got busy figuring out which combination of dies could possibly work. Here is my attempt.

DIES USED:
Body/Mane: Gnome Friends: Cow Die
Head: Gnome Friends: Moose Die
Ears: Sunflower Dies
Eyes: Cow Faces Stamp Set
Hooves/Eyelids: Gnome Friends: Horse Die
Tail: Gnome Dies: Animal Add Ons
Bow: Gnome Friends: Ghost Die
Heart: Gnome Dies: Baking Add Ons

To create the scene, I used Vertical Stitched Cloud Card Mat Dies, Stitched Flower Card Mat Die, and Mushroom Dies (to create the grassy knoll). The sentiment is from the Encouragement Stamp Set + Outline Dies.
