Jaded Blossom: I Hope Your Holidays Are Filled With Gingerbread Lattes!

Happy Friday everyone! 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'm on a gingerbread and gnome kick, so today I decided to combine the Gnome Coffee Mug Dies from the newest release with this adorable Large Gingerbread Girl Stamp. I added arms around the little gnome mug using dies from Gnome Friends: Gingerbread Die.  

To break up the design of the background paper, I used the Whimsical Banner Dies to create the center banner. The sentiment is from Gingerbread Brewed Stamp Set + Outline Dies.  

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

We currently have an ANYTHING GOES Challenge with the option of Christmas in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until August 1st. We hope you play along for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store!

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!
