I had some small white pom poms in my craft stash so I added one to her hat. I then cut up another pom pom and glued some of it to her shoes. The cute paper and sentiment circle are from Doodlebug Design Gingerbread Kisses 6x6 Paper Pad. I raised the sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension.

 

To finish off the card, I added beautiful I Am Roses flowers. The large middle flowers are the R43 Unicorn Peonies. I am in LOVE with these gorgeous multicolored flowers! Next, I added white cherry blossoms, S10m small pink flowers, and tiny green leaves.

 

Remember, you have until August 8th to link up your project on the IAR Blog. 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!

Our next set called IMPECKABLE features birds, a garden box with flowers, and 3 sentiments. For this card, I kept it all one level (no raised images), and stamped directly to Copic Xpress It Blending card. I colored in the images and background with Copic markers. 

I was able to incorporate all the images and sentiments from the stamp set onto this A2 card (4.25" x 5.50"). To soften areas on the birds, I used the Colorless Blender marker.

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.

The Greeting Farm July 2024 Stamp Feature Day 1: FAIRY BDAY ANYA

Happy Tuesday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the July 2024 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. Don't forget, you still have time to participate in the Blog Hop for a chance at winning all 3 new sets! 

This set called FAIRY BDAY ANYA is gorgeous!! I love everything about it!! I knew when I saw it I wanted to create a fairy wonderland scene. I pulled out a die from Hello Bluebird called Fairy Glade Scene Horizontal Die (on sale now!), and went to work coloring each piece with Copic markers. 

I was able to incorporate all the images from the Fairy Bday Anya Stamp Set onto this slimline card. Can you spot them all? This card was a lot of fun to put together! 

To give the card more dimension, I raised Anya, the tea cup, and butterfly on foam tape. I used a white gel pen to add the veining on her fairy wings. 

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 2 of Stamp Features!

I have quite a few friends who are gnome addicts like me, and since so many crafters are doing Christmas in July, I decided to create this little gift set of 3 paper Christmas gnomes! The recipient can use them to create cards or punch a hole at the top of each one to create an ornament.

 

I used the following products to create the gnomes: Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1, Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1, Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 2, and Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 3.  

I added them to a clear baggie, and made a tag using the Treat Tag Die, and Gnome Addict Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

We hope you play along in the July 2024 Challenge for a chance to win a FREE Stamp Set! Don't forget, the July Celebration Sale is going on now until July 21st!!

Jaded Blossom: July 2024 Celebration Sale and Mini Release!

Happy Wednesday Friends! It's officially time for the Jaded Blossom July 2024 Celebration Sale and Mini Release. Jaded Blossom is releasing a bunch of fun new items today...perfect for all your gnome-making projects! Also, from today until July 21st, there is a SALE!! Jaded Blossom only does two sales a year so now is the time to stock up on all your favorites (see below for more details)!!

Click HERE to check out the new items.

HEY YOU GUYS, I'm so excited because my gnome faces have inspired these new products!! So many of you have asked how I create their faces, and now Jaded Blossom has made it easy for you! The new gnome die add ons now include a base die shape with face and ears along with a face die and new hair. The new girl gnome set also includes a dress shape with a "v" cut out. In the past, I had to trim the top of the dress and then cut out a "v" to have a neck/chest area. I'm so glad that the new dress die does the work for me!  

 

I used the new Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Faces Stamp Set, Gnome Addict Stamp Set and Outline Dies, and the new Beach Chair Die to create this scene of me and my bestie soaking up some rays and drinking Pina Coladas.

Aren't they so cute?!! I love that the gnomes have adorable faces!! For their hats and drinks, I used Gnome Dies: Tiki Add Ons. I used the Gnomes Dies: Leg Add Ons to give them legs and feet. To create the curly hair, I used 5 of the curly die cuts from from Gnome Dies: Hair Add Ons: 3 on the top of her head and one on each side behind her ears. The sentiment is from the new Gnome Addict Stamp Set.

Tomorrow, I'll be showcasing a guy gnome using the new Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1. I can't wait to show you another cute scene!
