I Am Roses + Conie Fong Easter Bunny Gnome Bundle

 Happy Friday friends! I'm ending the month of June with another adorable bunny from Conie Fong. This cutie is from the Easter Bunny Gnome and Sentiment Bundle. The great thing about digis is that you can make the image as large as you want and crop it however you want. For this bunny I tilted his body a little and printed him in the bottom corner of my paper.

 
Isn't he just the cutest?! I went with a light pink color scheme, and used some pale pink R43 peonies, white cherry blossoms, unicorn carnations, small white flowers, and mini light pink roses. 

 
Remember, you have until JULY 8th to link up your project to the 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,
Rosie

Conie Fong: RABBIT HOLDING DAFFODIL

 Happy Monday friends! I'm back today with a card featuring this adorable bunny from Conie Fong called Rabbit Holding Daffodil. I think this digital stamp is so versatile and can be used for many different occasions. I went through my card stash and realized I didn't have any sympathy cards so I created this one using a sentiment from Diamond Press.


The daffodil paper is a digital file from Creative Fabrica. I used a My Favorite Things border die to create the scallop edge.

 
I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. We would love to Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! Have a great week!

Hugs,
Rosie

Stamping Bella: JUNE 2023 MINI RELEASE + FUNDRAISER + SALE!

 I have a special post today. I am guesting for Stamping Bella (one of my fave stamp companies) for their June 2023 Mini Release. This release is a special one dedicated to the previous owner Emily Block-Cohen who passed away from cancer on November 18th, 2022. Today is her birthday so to celebrate Emily, Stamping Bella is having a Mini Release and a SALE!

My first card features Uptown Girl Emily Da Bella. This stamp is a charity fundraiser for the Emily Block Memorial Fund. In order to honor Emily's spirit and passion for art, the Cohen family has established the Emily Block Memorial Fund that will direct proceeds to Art Therapy programs for the children's psychiatry department at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal.  

ALL proceeds from the sale of Uptown Girl Emily Da Bella will be donated to the Emily Block Memorial Fund.


I also used two of the sentiments in the Emily's Sentiment Set. The Celtic Trinity Knot symbol on the card she is holding shows a seated mother with two children and represents the endless, eternal love between a mother and her children. 


My second card features Bundle Girl with Lily of the Valley. I found pictures of some rainbow colored Lily of the Valley and decided to color these up in bright colors. Lily of the Valley and rainbows both symbolize a promise of hope and a return to happiness. I know Emily would wish that for all the people she loved and and cared about. 


The sentiment at the top of the card is another one that is part of the Emily's Sentiment Set.


Please head over to the Stamping Bella Blog to see more inspiration from all of us who are participating in this Fundraiser. And please show your support by ordering Uptown Girl Emily!

Hugs,
Rosie

Jaded Blossom Beach Mini Release!

 Happy Friday friends! It's time for the Beach Mini Release at Jaded Blossom. I am so excited about this fabulous release! When you love the amazing products coming out, it's so much fun creating with them! My creative juices really kicked in with these Beach add ons.

For my first card, I created a surfing gnome! Isn't he fun?!! I used the Ocean Waves Stencil to create the ocean and then fussy cut around the wave design. The Shell Stencil was used on the sandy beach. I'm loving that Large Palm Tree Die! The sentiment is from the new Ahoy Gnomie Stamp Set. To create his arms and legs, I used the Gnome Dies: Leg Add Ons. The surfboard, crab, and the gnome's hat are from the new Gnome Dies: Beach Add Ons. 

For my 2nd card, I created a girl gnome on her flamingo floatie surrounded by some adorable fish. I used the Ocean Waves Stencil again for the water and fussy cut 3 panels to create the ocean layers. The Mermaid Stencil (FREEBIE) was used on her swimsuit and on the fish.

Jaded Blossom: WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS.....

 Happy Friday everyone! My latest card for Jaded Blossom features some new products from the June Release. We currently have a Clean and Simple challenge for the month of June so I decided to keep this card on the simple side. I cut a white cardstock panel to 3.75" x 4.25" and inked it up using the Lemon Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. This stencil is turning into one of my favorites! I glued it down along the bottom of an A2 size white card base. Next, I cut a thin strip of green cardstock to add as a border along the top of the stenciled paper.

To create the sentiment panel, I used the Label Shape Dies 1 with the Grilling With My Gnomies Stamp Set.  I die-cut the white panel and added a couple of lemons with leaves from the stencil. Next, I inked up the sentiment and stamped it over the lemons. I raised the sentiment on foam tape for dimension. 
 
 

Remember, you have until July 1st to play along in the Jaded Blossom
Clean and Simple Challenge for a chance at winning a free stamp set! You don't have to have a blog to play along. You can load your card to our Facebook Group and then add your link using Facebook. There are instructions HERE to help you! 
 
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. 

Have a great weekend!

Jaded Blossom June 2023 Challenge: CLEAN AND SIMPLE

 Happy Sunday friends! It's the first Sunday of the month and that means we have a brand new challenge at Jaded Blossom.

 Our next challenge is ...

CLEAN AND SIMPLE!
(must use at least 1 JB product)

*************************
For this challenge, I created 4 clean and simple Halloween cards using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 1 for the scallop mat. I know it's early for Halloween, but these dies from the Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons were sitting out staring at me. And nothing screams clean and simple than cutting a simple die with no coloring.
 
 
For the 1st card, I used the ghost and the die-cut BOO! from the Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons. Just a side note, I've been cutting this ghost die from black cardstock and using it's eyes for my gnomes.
 
On the 2nd card, the RIP is from the RIP Stamp Set.
 
On the 3rd card, the sentiment is from the Batty For You Stamp Set.
 
On the last card, the sentiment is from Halloween Hisses Stamp Set.
