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

Many crafters are doing Christmas in July, where you spend the month making Christmas cards to get a head-start on the holiday season. I decided to combine the Gnome Coffee Mug Dies from the newest release with Gnome Friends: Gingerbread Die, Gingerbread Faces Stamp Set, and Build A Booth: Hot Cocoa Add Ons (candy cane) to make a hot cocoa mug. The sentiment is from Hot Cocoa Season Stamp Set.

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Yeti Bundle

Happy Tuesday friends! Christmas in July starts tomorrow, but I was inspired to start a day early. So today, I'm showcasing a card for I Am Roses featuring this adorable  digital stamp from Conie Fong's Yeti Bundle. Isn't he the sweetest?! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copic Markers.

The patterned paper and little yeti tag are from Doodlebug Design. To finish off the card, I added gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. I love that IAR has so many available colors to match any color scheme. The large flowers are R43 white peonies, followed by red cherry blossoms, mint green small achillea cottage flowers, white small achillea cottage flowers, and tiny green roses leaves. 

Remember, we currently have a monthly challenge until July 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

La-La Land Crafts: SUMMER 2026 RELEASE!

Happy Monday friends! I'm back today as a Guest Designer for La-La Land Craft's Summer 2026 Release! This release includes NEW stamps, dies, and paper packs, along with individual items from the May 2026 Kit of the Month.  

I created two cards for this release. My first card features Sea Ya Later Clear Stamp which has the cutest party ocean creatures. The top paper is from the By The Sea 6x6 Paper Pack. I used the Tidal Layers Dies with foam tape to create the tunnel effect, and added the images between the paper layers.

My next card features Simply Be Marci Rubber Stamp with the turtle from Sea Ya Later Clear Stamp. Aren't they so cute together?! The patterned paper is from the By The Sea 6x6 Paper Pack.

Head to the La-La Land Crafts Store to grab your favorites! They carry a wide range of products including rubber stamps, clear stamps, digital stamps, dies, stencils, and paper packs!

Hugs,
Rosie

Stamping Bella: SUMMER SUN DIGITAL STAMP RELEASE!

Happy Friday friends! Stamping Bella has a new SUMMER SUN Digital Stamp Release that is available NOW for purchase! There are 21 sets total! If you LOVE all things Stamping Bella, then you are in luck because there is a BUNDLE DEAL for a limited time that includes ALL the sets at 15% off!! This bundle is available from today, June 26th until July 5th (midnight EDT). After that, the sets will be available on an individual basis as usual.

  

There are also two special offers: 

Customers spending over $50 USD on the website (on anything) between June 26th until July 5th (midnight EDT) will receive the Suntan Chick digital stamp set for FREE. This freebie will be emailed to customers manually.

Customers who purchase the FULL digital release bundle will receive Suntan Chick AND the Just Beachy Digital Sentiment Set for FREE. Both freebies will be automatically included in the download for the full bundle.

 

Today, I have two cards to share! My first card features Beachabella. This gorgeous girl is all ready for a relaxing day at the beach. I used a digital junk journal page from Etsy for the background scene, and overlayed the sentiment from Beachabella onto the scene before I printed it. Two things that I love about digi stamps and papers: Instant gratification once you've completed the purchase, and the ability to print them as many times as you want and at any size you need. 

 

My next card features Edna and the Manatee. Aren't they so adorable?! I love the sweet hug they are sharing. The background is a digital scene I got off Creative Fabrica with a sentiment from Edna and the Manatee overlayed on top.  

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store and grab all your faves. Their rubber stamps and digital stamps are truly AMAZING! And don't forget about the deals mentioned above.

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom: YEEHAW! It's Your Birthday!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today for Jaded Blossom with a cowgirl birthday card featuring several of the new items released this month. I had a lot of fun making this cowgirl scene! I love how the various gnome dies can be combined to make something unique and original. 

To create this adorable cowgirl, I used Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons (body/face/nose/bangs), Girl Gnome Dies (pigtails, hand), Gnome Dies: Leg Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Southwestern Add Ons (hat/boots), Gnome Dies: Cowboy Add Ons (lasso), and Gingerbread Faces (eyes/mouth). Of course, she had to be riding a horse! (Gnome Friends: Horse Die and Horse Faces Stamp Set)

The background scene was created using Southwestern Scenic Dies. The sentiment is from the Wanted Stamp Set.
