I Am Roses + Conie Fong Bella

Happy Sunday everyone! Today, I am showcasing a Patriotic card featuring the gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses flowers with a sweet bear digi called Bella from Conie Fong. I love the digital images from Conie because they are so versatile just by changing the colors. This bear was perfect in red and blue for the upcoming holiday.

Copics:
Bear: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, R11
Blue: B24, B26, B28, B69
Red: R24, R27, R29, R37, R59

I used some awesome paper from Doodlebug Design Land That I Love 6x6 Paper Pad. To finish off the card, I added flowers in the corner.

Remember, you have until JUNE 8th to link up your project to our current ANYTHING GOES Challenge. 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,

Conie Fong: MAISY & CORY MICE BUNDLE

Happy Tuesday friends! As you all know I LOVE Conie Fong's digital stamps! I think they are so much fun to color! If you haven't yet joined her Facebook group, I would suggest starting there because not only are there two challenges a month for a chance at free images, but she also has a FREEBIE album with a few images for you to try out! You can join the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Page by clicking on the link.

Today, my card features this adorable mouse named MAISY. Isn't she the sweetest mouse you've ever seen?! She's in a Bundled Package with a boy mouse called Cory and two sentiments. I printed her on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored her with Copic Markers.

Copics:
Mouse: C00, N0, N2, N4, R00, R30, R21
Dress: Y15, RV02, V04, C0, C1, C2, C3, V01
Purple: V01, V04, V12, V15, V17
Yellow: Y11, Y15, Y21, YR23, E19
Ground: W1, W3, Colorless Blender

I decided to go with a purple color scheme using various patterned paper scraps, along with some sentiment strips from another scrap piece in my stash. To finish off the card I added ribbon, a bow, and some purple enamel dots.

If you create any cards using Conie Fong stamps, please stop by the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Page to enter the challenges. There are always two a month....one coloring challenge and one card challenge.

Jaded Blossom: GNOME WORRIES BEE HAPPY

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with a card combining some of my fave products from Jaded Blossom! As you all know, I love gnomes and these bee gnomes from the GNOME WORRIES BEE HAPPY Stamp Set are the cutest. I even love the cute, small bees included in the set so I decided I wanted to put them in the CLEAR JAR. Fun, right?!

I used several dies also from Jaded Blossom to create this scene. The scallop rectangle is from Scallop Rectangle Dies 2. I used the grass die from the Mushroom Die Set to create the bottom border. The clear jar was cut out using the Clear Jar Outline Dies, and the floral lid was created using the Mason Jar Die.

Remember, we have a monthly challenge on the Jaded Blossom Blog. This month the theme is ANYTHING GOES! We hope you play along for a chance to win a FREE Stamp Set! Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

Rosie

The Greeting Farm Digital Stamp Feature: FAIRIES and FAIRYLAND

Happy Friday everyone! Today, we have a Digital Stamp Feature for The Greeting Farm showcasing the new digis released on May 1st. Two new sets were released called FAIRIES and FAIRYLAND. These two sets together create the most amazing, magical fairy scenes ever! I have loved seeing all the creative ways the Digi Team has come up with using these images!

I decided my fairies needed some much needed play time with their insect friends so I created this fun scene in MS Word. I printed it on Xpress It Blending Card and colored the scene using Copic Markers.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share you creations. We would love to see them!

Happy Thursday everyone! We are on Day 3 of Stamp Features for the MAY 2021 RELEASE at The Greeting Farm. This month TGF introduced 3 new stamp sets! Claudette, Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release.

Today's set called FIRST PICK features some sweet characters dressed as fruit! They are sooooo cute and adorable! I can see so many fun uses for this set.

I used the Jaded Blossom Crate Die to create this little crate box to hold some Hi-Chew fruit candy. Then I colored a popsicle stick brown and glued the sentiment panel to it. It's the perfect gift for a friend!

Jaded Blossom May Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's May Stamp Release Blog Hop.

Now if you're here from Larelyn's Blog, you're in the right place. If you're just passing through start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I also have the complete line up at the bottom. For today's project, I created a Pop Rock Candy Gift Set using several of the new items from this release.

The sentiment at the top of the Pop Rocks came from the Birthday Blow Out Stamp Set. I also added banners created from the Birthday Banner Dies.

To create the jar wrap, I cut a piece of white cardstock 2 x 8.5 inches long and used Distress Oxide Inks with the Confetti Stencil to create the pattern.

Next, I used the same DO Inks to add ink to Happy Birthday from the Fancy Birthday Stamp Set. I stamped it on white cardstock and cut it out using a die from the Label Shape Dies 1 Set. I used a black multiliner to outline parts of the letters so it stood out more. The adorable present is from the Kawaii Birthday Stamp Set. The final touch was to add ribbon and a bow to the top of the jar.

Jaded Blossom May 2021 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 4 (Hot Air Tag FREEBIE)

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is Day 4 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom May Release! If you LOVE everything you have seen so far then you definitely want to purchase the Gotta Have it Now Package, which will return to the Jaded Blossom Store on Friday. It's the best deal!

Today, we are revealing the FREEBIE Stamp Set called HOT AIR TAG. For my project, I created these cute Lollipop Holders. I stamped the Hot Air Tag on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and cut it out using the Treat Tag Die. I glued the tag to the Lollipop Die Cut. The great thing about the Lollipop Die is that you can use it upside down by placing the stick through the half circle opening so they can stand up on their own.

I bought these cute carnival lollipops at the dollar store. I love all the colors! They did have plastic wrap all the way to the bottom of the stick. I altered them by tying twine around the plastic at the bottom of the lollipop and cutting off the excess plastic to expose the stick.

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

Today, we are revealing the FREEBIE Stamp Set!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today, we are on Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom MAY 2021 Release. This release is all about birthdays and celebrations, so it's definitely a good one to own since we all have several of those throughout the year. If you are like me and NEED it all, then you definitely want to purchase the "Gotta Have It Now" package for the BEST deal!

I created background paper and a stenciled sentiment panel for my card with all of the new items we are showcasing today: Kawaii Birthday Stamps, Birthday Blow Out Stamps, and the Star Stencil.

I stamped the candle image in a random pattern on Copic Express It Blending Card. Then I used Copics to color the candles. The great thing about creating your own background paper is that you really don't have to do any shading. You can keep it simple and just color for the fun of it! For the sentiment panel, I used Distress Oxide Inks and the new Star Stencil. I love the little face stamps included with the Kawaii Birthday set.

Jaded Blossom May 2021 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 2

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today, we are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom MAY 2021 Release. This release is all about birthdays and celebrations, so it's definitely a good one to own since we all have several of those throughout the year. If you are like me and NEED it all, then you definitely want to purchase the "Gotta Have It Now" package for the BEST deal!

For my project today, I created a custom cupcake wrapper and an adorable gnome cupcake topper. Isn't he CUTE?!! These are my fave sets!!

I used the new Sprinkle Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks to create the pattern on the cupcake wrapper. You can download a free file fore these HERE. Next, I added a tag to the front of the cupcake wrapper using Label Shape Dies 1 and a sentiment from the new Gnome-alicious Birthday Stamp Set.

For the cutie patootie gnome I stamped him on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copics. Then I die-cut him out using the new Outline Dies. I cut a separate blank one from a thicker white cardstock to glue to the back of him to make him more durable. Next, I glued a white Cake Pop Stick to the back.
