Stamping Bella: SQUIDGY MERMAID

Happy Sunday friends! I'm ending the month of May with a magical card for Stamping Bella featuring the Squidgy Mermaid Digital Stamp Set. I LOVE Stamping Bella images, and I'm so happy they are offering digital stamps!! I printed this adorable girl and the sentiment on Copic Xpress It Blending Card. After coloring her with Copic markers, I used Distress Ink to add the water around the image and Memento Ink for the sand.

 

To add to the whimsy, I attached Doodlebug Design Puffy Icon Stickers. I think the little fish are soooooo cute! 

 

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store to grab your faves. They carry both rubber stamps and digital stamps. You're going to love them so much!

 

Hugs,

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Little Mermaid

Happy Saturday friends! Today, I'm showcasing a card for I Am Roses featuring this gorgeous digital stamp from Conie Fong called Little Mermaid. It's part of a digital stamp bundle that includes 2 mermaids: Rosealea Mermaid and Little Mermaid. I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored her with Copic Markers.

I used some mermaid paper from my stash. 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 pale pink with pink center peonies, followed by mint green cherry blossoms, S10m purple small achillea cottage flowers, S10m-(4C) soft pink-hot pink center small achillea cottage flowers, and tiny green roses leaves.

I added some shimmer to the mermaid so she's extra sparkly.

Remember, you have until JUNE 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!

Hugs,

Rosie

Conie Fong: Pandas Are Awesome And So Are You!

This month I've been having fun showcasing the different pandas in Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. All of the pandas in this bundle are adorable! I printed this image on Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. And yes, my brain was not braining and I colored his head black....so he's a little different, LOL!

I used Blue China Distress Oxide Ink for the sky, and added grass to the bottom of the card using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Pandas Are Awesome Stamp Set.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Jaded Blossom: Wishing You A Splashy & Sassy Birthday!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with a different take on a mermaid card for MerMay using Jaded Blossom Dies and Stamps. What is MerMay? It's a month long challenge to share mermaid-themed creations. For my card I made a Purrmaid (cat mermaid). Isn't she fun and adorable?!

To create my Purrmaid, I used the body of the standing moose in Gnome Friends: Moose Dies. The cat's head and arms are from Snowman Pet Dies. Her seashell top and mermaid tail, along with the sea bottom accessories are from the Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons. The adorable cat face was made using Snowman Pets Faces Stamp Set. To complete the card, I added a sentiment from Mermaid To Be Friends Stamp Set. 

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

We currently have an ANYTHING GOES Challenge in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until June 6th. We hope you play along for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store!

 

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store to grab all your favorite products! They also have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

 

Hugs,

Today's card features SUGAR and SMILES clear stamp set, a sweet bakery-themed collection with two charming girls surrounded by delicious baked treats, including cupcakes, bread, pastries, and cake.

The Greeting Farm May 2026 Stamp Feature Day 2: MERMAID ANYA 3

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the May 2026 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 Blog this week showcasing the new release. 

Today's card is in honor of Mer-may! Dive into an ocean of creativity with MERMAID ANYA 3 featuring sweet Anya transformed into a stunning mermaid surrounded by whimsical underwater details such as playful fish, a pearl-filled clam shell, and starfish. It also comes with 2 heartfelt sentiments.

I inked up a circle with a Jaded Blossom stencil and Distress Oxide Ink to create the background scene. After coloring the images, I cut them out using scissors and adhered them to the card using foam tape for extra dimension. The black Internal Scallop Circle Frame is from Jaded Blossom. 

The mermaid and clam are extra sparkly after using a Wink Of Stella Glitter Pen over parts of the image.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For my card today, I used an adorable digital image from Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. There are 6 different panda images and the file comes with JPEG and PNG versions of each image for a total of 12 images. It's an awesome bundle! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. The edges were inked with Distress Oxide Ink.

 

I dry embossed the background with a polka dot embossing folder. I cut the image into a circle and then framed it with a black scallop circle (dies are from Jaded Blossom). Then I kicked it up a notch by adding gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. Did you know that I Am Roses carries flowers in black?! They are perfect for Bee cards, Halloween cards, and Panda cards. The large white flower is the R43 Peony, followed by black cherry blossoms, small white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Pandas Are Awesome Stamp Set.

Jaded Blossom: LET'S PARTY & GET FLOCKED UP

Happy Friday everyone! I'm loving the Gnome Friends: Bird Die from Jaded Blossom so much that I'm back again today with this scene card. If you purchase this die, you have to get the Bird Faces Stamp Set because they really give the bird so much character, and some of them are just hilarious. This card would also make a great invitation for Memorial Day or a birthday.....just saying!

I used the beer mug from Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons, and the Beach Chair Die. The sentiment is from Fowl Language Stamp Set.

Don't forget, we have an ANYTHING GOES challenge going on right now until June 6th in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group for a chance to win a $20 Jaded Blossom gift certificate. 

Have a great weekend!
