I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Friendship Angel Cody

 Happy Monday friends! Today's card is for I Am Roses, and features their gorgeous paper flowers with this sweet digital image from Conie Fong called Friendship Angel Cody. I decided to create a Christmas card in blue and gold, and found a 6x6 paper pad at Hobby Lobby called O Holy Night with gorgeous blue, white and gold papers that went perfectly with my angel.

I printed him on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copic markers.

Jaded Blossom: STOCKING GIFT CARD HOLDER

 Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. I'm switching gears and starting on gift card holders for Christmas. I used to spend days/weeks hunting down the perfect gift for family and friends. It was a lot of stress. Now, I just buy a bunch of gift cards so my recipient can buy what he or she wants. For me it's easier since December is such a busy month with birthdays and Christmas. I have my birthday in December, along with hubby, his 2 brothers, and several friends. I told you....it's CRAZY! 

I used the Stocking Gift Card Die to create the base shape. I LOVE that this die set come with 3 different stocking toppers, along with the toe and heel dies so you can cut different colored paper for those pieces! I plan on creating these in all different colors for Christmas.

I found some little white pom poms and added those to create some dimension. Then I tied some ribbon around the top. I think for Christmas, I'm going to use alphabet dies and add the recipient's name to the top of the stocking instead of tying ribbon. On the back of the stocking, there is a slot to add your gift card. I decorated the gift card panel using stamps from Gnome For Christmas. I used gel pens from Diamond Press to color in the gnome on the red cardstock.

To create the tag, I used the Treat Tag Die. The small gnome is from the Gnome For Christmas Stamp Set. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Gingerbread Calories Stamp Set. 

 

 
Remember, Jaded Blossom has a current STRIPES Challenge. You have until November 5th to play along for a chance to win a free stamp set! And 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. 

Hugs, 

Rosie

Today, I'm showcasing READY SET SNOW. This set features a big Ian and Anya ready to take on the slopes with their awesome snowboards. Have you ever been snowboarding? I've been skiing once in my life, but never snowboarding. I'm too old for it now, LOL!

I used all the accessory stamps included in the set on this card. The heart was stamped on Anya's snowboard. The snowflake is next to one of the sentiments. I used the word COOL on Ian's snowboard. And of course, the mountains and trees are in the background.

The Greeting Farm October Stamp Feature Day 2: BOW WOW WOW

 Happy Wednesday everyone! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the October 2022 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced 3 new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Claudette, Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release.

Today, I'm showcasing BOW WOW WOW. This set features several breeds of dogs with different facial expressions. They crack me up, LOL! Each one has so much personality!

 

I used a the Lawn Fawn Meadow Backdrop Die to create the scene. I cut two of the grassy areas so I could raise the bottom grass panel on foam tape for extra dimension. I also trimmed both of the grass panels so I could have a white border frame around the entire scene. The background dog paper is from Doodlebug Design.

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! See you back here tomorrow for day 3 of Stamp Features!

The backdrop is a Mama Elephant die. I colored the Minkies with Copic Markers.

On the coffee mug, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Christmas Candies *Grid Style* Stamp Set. I adhered the Santa Gnome to the caddy with foam tape.

On the back of the Scallop Caddy, I stamped two sentiments from the Merry Christmas Gnomie Stamp Set and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Today, I created Lollipop holders for these cute Christmas lollipops I found on Amazon. It was a boxed set with various Christmas designs. I used the Santa and Reindeer lollipops for this project. I created my own background paper using stamps in the new Christmas Candies *Grid Style* Stamp Set. I used a mini Memento ink pad so I could apply ink to the image I wanted to work with. I stamped on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored the images with Copic Markers. Since I didn't do any shading, the coloring went quickly.

To create the larger circle tab, I used the Scallop Circle Dies and the Candy Grid Die with a couple of the sentiments from Christmas Candies *Grid Style*.

Jaded Blossom October 2022 Christmas Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 2

 Happy Tuesday! We are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom October 2022 Christmas Release. You can grab the "Gotta Have It Now Package" now for a discounted amount. If you wait until the release goes live on Thursday, the bundle price will go up. 

I had these larger gable boxes in my stash that hold 2 cupcakes so I thought they would be perfect with the Santa cupcake from the new Sweet Christmas Wishes Stamp Set. I tried to do white embossing on the gable boxes with the Candy Cane Stencil, and......it was almost a fail, LOL! I used anti-static powder on the outside of the box, but the embossing powder still wanted to stick to the entire glossy outside. I painstakingly used a small paintbrush to remove a lot of the random white powder around the candy canes. Lesson learned though, LOL!

 

After embossing the candy cane pattern on the box, I decided to add a small circle card. I cut a Scallop Circle along the folded edge of white cardstock to create a little circle card. Next I cut another scallop circle from red cardstock and glued it on top of the white card base. I used the Sweet Christmas Wishes Outline Dies to cut out the Santa Cupcake and adhered him to the card front with foam tape. 

On the inside of the card I stamped two sentiments from the Sweet Christmas Wishes Stamp Set. I also added little velcro dots to keep the card closed.
