Kim Glasgow said...Hi Rosie, I have been a long time follower of your blog. We do not do anything for Valentines day. Although this year I did get 4 chocolate covered strawberries because I had surgery on Monday and am struggling with some pain issues, so my hubby and son felt bad for me and picked them up as they are my favorite treat! They are also on my no eat list, so it was a very special treat for me!!!
 

 Congratulations KIM!! Please email me your mailing address (rosemary_bridges@yahoo.com), and I Am Roses will get these gorgeous flowers in the mail to you!

I also have two runner ups for a smaller package of flowers coming directly from me:

 

DENISE BRYANT and SARAH BISWABIC!!

Please email me your mailing addresses also.

 

Thank you to all who played along! I'll be having more give-aways on my Instagram (@rosemaryscreations) so please follow me there and stay tuned!

 

Have an awesome Wednesday!

The Greeting Farm Faith Release: GRATEFUL HEART

Happy Monday everyone! We have a new Faith Stamp Release today at The Greeting Farm! I can't tell you how much I love these stamp sets! They are so versatile and can be used for Bible Journaling, cards, bookmarks, and scrapbook layouts or planners.

 

This year, we are releasing one stamp set a month! And to top it all off, The Greeting Farm has a new, improved, and mobile-friendly Store!! It's a brand new site so be sure to register again and update your password so you can stay up-to-date on everything coming your way! 

 

Today's set is called GRATEFUL HEART, and it is gorgeous! I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted to create a wreath with the floral elements. I drew a circle lightly with pencil, and then I started to build it. I first gold-embossed the sentiment. Next, I added the largest rose in each corner and then the two smaller roses. After I embossed the flowers, I stamped the smaller rose twice on post-it note paper and cut them out so I could mask them before adding the vine part. Finally, I pulled out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and watercolored the roses and leaves with a waterbrush.

 

 

I kept my card clean and simple so the focus was on the image.

 

 

Head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your Grateful Heart set! You are going to LOVE it!!

 

Hugs,

Rosie

C.C. Designs: MAGICAL PRINCESS

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week! Today, my project features the characters and sentiments from the C.C. Designs Magical Princess Clear Stamp Set. This set was part of the February Release, which has been a huge hit!! If you are like me and are a collector, you can purchase a BUNDLED DEAL in the C.C. Designs Store for 20% off.

 

I stamped all the characters on Cryogen Cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers.

 

 Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13, E04

Hair: E71, E77, E79

Pink: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09

Gray Mouse: C2, C3, C5, RV00

Carriage: RV02, RV04, RV05, RV09, C5, C7, C9

Gold Metallic Sharpie Paint Pen

 

For the background scene, I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. I cut out a cloud border from cardstock with a metal die to use as my template. To create the multi-colored sky, I rubbed the various inks over the cloud edge as I moved the cut-out down. I LOVE the work of Amy Yang and the fabulous clouds she makes on her cards! I used her card HERE for inspiration. I think the different colored clouds adds a magical feel to this princess card.

 

 

Now be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to snatch up all of these awesome goodies!

 

**I'm entering this card in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Make Your Own Background.

 

Hugs,

Rosie

My card today features ADVENTURE PRINCE. The stamp sets from C.C. Designs are perfect for any project because they have the characters, accessories, and sentiments. I LOVE sets that have a little of everything! I colored him with Copic Markers.

 

 Copics:

The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: HOW RAWR YOU?

Happy Tuesday everyone! The Greeting Farm released 3 new stamps on the 15th featuring some cute, adorable puppies, kitties, and dinos! They have been so much fun to color up, and definitely need to be a part of your collection. I'm back today to showcase this AWESOME set called HOW RAWR YOU? It's adorable and fabulous for boy or girl cards!

 

 

For my card today, I made another Polaroid scene card. When I need a larger Polaroid frame for a scene, I turn to my square dies and just make my own. It's pretty easy and that way you can make the center as big as you need to. Since the dinos were so colorful, I decided to keep my background pretty simple.

Copics:

Dino 1: YG93, YG95, YG97, Y32, Y21, YR23

Dino 2: V15, V17, BV08, RV63, RV55, RV19

Dino 3: YR65, YR06, YR07, YR09, E09

Trees: YG25, YG17, YG67, G28

 

The background paper/cardstock were scraps in my stash, along with the washi tape.

 

 

All of the new stamps are available for purchase HERE. Be sure to check the TGF Blog this week...the winner of the entire release from the Blog Hop will be announced soon!

 

Hugs,

Rosie

The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: HEY PRETTY KITTY

Happy Monday everyone! The Greeting Farm released 3 new stamps on the 15th featuring some cute, adorable puppies, kitties, and dinos! It's been so much fun seeing the awesome creations from the Design Team. I'm back today to showcase HEY PRETTY KITTY. This set is perfect for all of you cat lovers!!

 

For my card today, I used some cute digital papers from CreaDigitals Etsy Store called Kitty Pattern-black, gold and pink. I added some gold glitter stickles on the polkadot paper to accent the gold printed dots even more. Her dress also got glittered up. I used the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker on the black cardstock to add even more sparkle!

 

  Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15

Hair: C2, C6, C9, Black

Cat: C2, C3, C5, C6

Fish: YR04, YR07, YR09, E09

Dress: R11, R20, R22, Gold Sharpie, Gold Stickles

 

The sentiment is part of the Hey Pretty Kitty set along with the paw prints. I LOVE when stamp sets include cute sentiments. It saves me time from searching through my stamps to find something that works. Since the stamps are clear, I was able to offset the word "You're" so it fit on the long tag cut-out from C.C. Designs Banners Accessories Metal Die. The scalloped circle was made using My Favorite Things Stitched Circle Scallop Frames.

 

This set is awesome! I had a lot of fun making this card and coloring these cuties! Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for the last stamp showcase featuring the adorable dinos.

Have a great Monday!

Rosie

For my Polaroid scene card, I combined Snuggle Is Real with some of the scene elements from the How Rawr You? set. That beautiful heart paper is from Doodlebug Design Puppy Love 6x6 Paper Pad....LOVE this paper company!!

The scalloped square cut out to make my Polaroid frame is from My Favorite Things. The ribbon came from Walmart.
