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

Now that Halloween is over, it's time for fall! Today, I'm featuring a gnome ready for all the pumpkin things, from picking pumpkins at the pumpkin patch to eating pumpkin pie! To create the gnome I used Gnome Dies with Gnome Dies: Fall Add Ons. His eyes are Doodlebug Design An Eye For An Eye Shape Sprinkles. The pumpkin pie in his hands, and the little pumpkins on the Tree Stump Die are from the Fall Candies *Grid Style* Stamp Set.

 

 

I cut grass patterned paper with the Spring Scenic Dies to create the grassy area under the gnome. I raised the gnome and tree stump on foam tape for extra dimension. The sentiment is from Happy Fall Gnomie Stamp Set.

This month's prize for a randomly selected winner is:

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Halloween Bundle

Happy Halloween friends! I'm ending the month with this girly Halloween card featuring gorgeous I Am Roses flowers with this adorable Mummy Digi from Conie Fong's Halloween Bundle. It's perfect for all those cute and spooky cards. This digital set comes with 16 different images in both PNG and JPEG versions so a whopping total of 32 files for only $3.00!! I mean seriously, it's the best deal ever!!   

I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored her with Copic Markers. I wanted this mummy to be a girl so I added some eyelashes. I cut her out using scissors and placed the sentiment banner under her hands. The pink scallop circle, banner, and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom.   

To complete the card, I added R43 pale pink with pink center peonies, ZR6 light gray roses, S10m pink achillea cottage flowers, and tiny green leaves.

Remember, we currently have a monthly challenge until November 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: UPTOWN GIRL ZODIAC BUNDLE

Happy Thursday friends! Stamping Bella has an AMAZING offer from now until November 26th! You can purchase all 12 UPTOWN GIRL ZODIAC illustrations as a complete digital bundle for only $55.00!! You get 12 zodiac girl images, plus the zodiac name, and a description of each sign. These sets will NOT be available on an individual basis. If you want them, you have to purchase the bundle before November 26th. The great thing about owning all 12 is that you can use them to make customized birthday gifts.

I will be using the sets to decorate 8x8 wood frames so stay tuned over the next few weeks as I work my way through them. Since I'm a Sagittarius, I started with that one. This was the first one I completed a few years ago.    

 

I painted the wood frame gold and then used a Sagittarius-themed digital paper pack I found on Etsy. The large squares are cut to 2" x 2". The rectangles are 1.25" x 2". I also added some foam word stickers from my stash. Uptown Girl Sagittarius is raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

 

This is what the unfinished frame looks like. I usually get them at Walmart or Michaels. 

 

 

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 bundle deal mentioned above.

Hugs,

Rosie

What's more fun than shopping? Shopping with your Chinchilla friend, of course! Today, my card features Shopping Marci Rubber Stamp with Chinchillin' Clear Stamp, along with the Shopping Cart Die, and Gourds Die (two gourds in the shopping cart). To cut out the sentiment, I used one of the dies from the North Pole Sign Die. The blue/white background paper is from the Life Documented Paper Pack. The black/white paper is from the Note To Self Paper Pad. I raised Marci, the shopping cart, and sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension.

TIP: I wanted the shopping cart to point to the left and also needed it shorter so it would work next to Shopping Marci. I cut the silver metallic paper on the backside so I could point the shopping cart to the left. I also trimmed a row off the bottom of the shopping cart die-cut, along with the upper part of the wheels die-cut to make it shorter. Now it fits perfectly under Marci's hand.

Happy Saturday friends! La-La Land Craft's October 2026 Release is available for purchase! I'll be showcasing projects over the next month with all the new items from the October release.

Today, my card features Time To Shop Clear Stamp, Shopping Totes Die, Scalloped Frames Die, Slimline Postage Rectangles Die, North Pole Sign Die (sentiment), and Note To Self Paper Pad!

TIP: Sometimes if I'm going for a certain color scheme, I will ink up patterned paper. For example, the paper on the left under the totes was originally white and navy, and I wanted pink and navy. I was going to use white for the tote bag handles and corners so I needed a different color behind the totes. I inked up the paper using pink ink so the purses wouldn't blend into the background paper. 

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

Jaded Blossom: COFFEE MUGS

Happy Friday everyone! I am a collector of lots of things including coffee mugs. Whenever we travel, I usually pick one up from the country or state we visited. I also love holiday mugs! Now that Jaded Blossom has released several Coffee Mug Dies, I had to create a curio cabinet to feature the different holiday ones.

COFFEE MUG DIES:
Gnome Coffee Mug Dies
Frankenstein Coffee Mug Dies
Pumpkin Coffee Mug Dies
Reindeer Coffee Mug Dies
Santa Coffee Mug Dies

To create the curio cabinet, I used the Stitched Arch Dies, and the Santa shoes from the Santa Coffee Mug Dies for the curio cabinet feet. I cut thin strips of black cardstock for the shelves. I raised the arch frame and the shelves, along with each coffee mug and the sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension. The sentiment is from the new Carta Bella Coffee Shop 6x6 Paper Pad (in the Jaded Blossom Store).

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

We currently have an SHAKE, WOBBLE, or ROLL Challenge in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until October 31st. 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.

The grassy knoll was created using a die from Jaded Blossom's Spring Scenic Dies. The bench is from Holiday Anya 14. I used a stencil to create the clouds. Some of the images are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

The Greeting Farm October 2026 Stamp Feature Day 1: HOLIDAY ANYA 14

Happy Friday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the October 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, we are celebrating the merry little moments of the holidays with HOLIDAY ANYA 14! This adorable set features Anya bundled up in a cozy winter outfit with a cute bow in her hair, ready to spread some holiday cheer. Included are sweet little pigeons, a park bench, bird treats, and other festive accessories. 

I cut out a circle frame and added blended ink inside the circle to create the background scene. I then stamped each of the images onto Copic Xpress It Blending Card, colored each one with Copic Markers, fussy cut them out, and glued them onto the inked circle background. I used a die from Jaded Blossom to cut out a scallop circle frame. The banner for the sentiment is also a die from Jaded Blossom.
