I Am Roses: Words And Ideas Can Change The World Altered Wood Frame

Happy Tuesday Friends! Today, I'm showcasing my latest project for I Am Roses featuring their beautiful paper flowers. I've been on a kick lately altering various things from the Dollar Tree. I had this plain wood shadow box frame lying around along with a Dollar Tree paper pad that has various quotes in it. I decided to combine the two to create this hanging home decor piece.


I added a large green rose in each corner, followed by white cherry blossoms, some brown edged flowers, S10m green small flowers, and tiny green leaves

We will have a new "Anything Goes" Challenge coming up on February 15th for a chance to win some awesome IAR flowers! You just have to use a minimum of 3 I Am Roses products on your card to qualify for one of the prizes!

Hugs,
Rosie

Jaded Blossom: I HEART U CUPCAKE CARD

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. I have a bunch of the Gnome Dies Add Ons and wanted to challenge myself to use them for something different. I decided to create a Valentine's Day cupcake using products you probably wouldn't expect. After creating this one, I'm thinking of creating more for the other holidays.

I don't have the Cupcake Slider Die form Jaded Blossom (I know....it's a tragedy!), so I went through my pantry and decided to use a real cupcake liner. I cut it apart to create the cupcake base. Next, I used the car front grill die from the Car Dies: Cruiser to create the chocolate cake peeking out from the liner. I cut down the whip cream hat from Gnome Dies: Coffee Add Ons to create the frosting. The sprinkles came from Gnome Dies: Breakfast Add Ons. The little hearts are from Gnome Dies: Valentine Add Ons. The cupcake topper words are from Gnome Dies: Sweethearts Add Ons. I used a die from Cowboy Add Ons for the thin stick under the word toppers.

The red scallop mats were created using Scallop Rectangle Dies 1 and Scallop Rectangle Dies 2. And, of course, I had to add some heart patterned paper from one of my favorite companies, Doodlebug Design.
 
 
Remember, you have until February 3rd to play along in the Jaded Blossom Anything Goes 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 the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group and then add your link from 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!

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the January 2024 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced 3 new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase.

As crafters we all need sentiment stamps, and this next called EVERYDAY SCRIPT comes with 6 awesome ones. It even includes a big Anya and the trio of hearts with lines. I decided to go with an '80s theme on my card today and used the sentiments to create a spray painted brick wall.  

The brick wall and concrete ground were digital papers in my stash that I combined together. I then used various colors of embossing powder along with gel pens to create the "graffiti".

For my project today, I altered this plaid home decor piece I got at the Dollar Tree. It already had the buffalo plaid fabric and chalkboard heart on it. I used a sentiment stamp from The Greeting Farm and heat embossed it with white embossing powder onto the heart. I added a white lace oval from Recollections around the heart. Next, I glued some ephemera from Diamond Press around the lace oval and added the bird at the top on foam tape.
 
 
To finish off the piece, I added a bunch of flowers from I Am Roses. The large flower is the R43 Peony. There are also some cherry blossom, S10 and S11 flowers along with some mini roses. I made a double loop bow from some buffalo plaid ribbon and added it to the bottom of the lace oval.


Have a great week friends! Hugs, Rosie

I cut one panel of the Build A Booth Die with the Build A Booth: Breakfast Add Ons to create the Donut Bar sign. Then I created two gnomes using Gnome Dies with the Gnome Dies: Breakfast Add Ons to go on the sides of the sign. I LOVE how it turned out!!

I am super excited for this release because Jaded Blossom finally made Car Dies: Cruiser for the gnomes!! I've been wanting a car die for a while now. I'm so giddy!! I decided to create a scene card with these girl gnome besties who are hitting the road for a weekend get away!


To create my gnomes, I used the Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons (hat), Gnome Dies: Girl Scarecrow Add Ons (hat band + hat flower), and the Gnome Dies: Gingerbread Add Ons (for their eyes). I decided to make a smaller nose so I used the elf nose from Octagon Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1. The sentiment is from the new Loads Of Love Stamp Set. I cut it out using the Outline Die and raised it on foam tape.

Jaded Blossom: WARM WINTER WISHES!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my first blog post for 2024! I took a few weeks off in December to relax and enjoy the holidays. It was also one of the first years in a long time that we didn't travel, and let me tell you...it was really nice! I truly enjoyed the down time, but now it's time to get back to crafting. I have to say, I did miss it while on my little break. 

My winter card features stamps and dies from Jaded Blossom. I have a lot of unused stamps that I've been eager to ink up. I just LOVE these adorable penguins from the Winter Panels Stamp Set. I created a winter scene by cutting out a panel using Rectangle Dies 2 and inking it up to create a blue sky background. I used the Tree Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks to create 3 trees. Then I cut a separate white panel and used one of the dies in the Border Dies 2 set to create the snowy ground which I raised on foam tape. I fussy cut the penguins and also raised them on foam tape.
 

The sentiment is from the Winter Is Gnoming Stamp Set. To finish off the card, I used the Scallop Rectangles Dies 2 to cut the black scallop mat behind my scene panel, and then glued it to an A2 white card base.
 
 
Remember, you have until January 6th to play along in the Jaded Blossom Add Some Gold 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 the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group and then add your link from 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!
