I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Ghost With Pumpkin

Ghostly Greetings friends! I am back today for I Am Roses with a Halloween card featuring this adorable ghost with pumpkin from Conie Fong. This cutie is part of a Halloween Bundle. I love this sweet ghost because she's definitely too cute too spook! You can also learn how to draw this adorable ghost by heading over to the Draw With Conie YouTube Channel. 

I used the Jaded Blossom Scallop Circle Die to cut out the black scallop border around the ghost. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Ghostly Greetings Stamp Set. I curved it on the stamping block so it would fit beneath the ghost. The stars and bats are Doodlebug Design Shape Sprinkles. 

To finish off the card, I added R43 Pale Pink Peonies, S3 Orange Cherry Blossoms, S11 Black Summer Cottage, S10m Soft Pink Small Achillea Cottage, and Tiny Green Leaves.

Remember, you have until November 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!

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom: Shake Your BOOty!

Happy Friday everyone! I LOVE the ghosts from last month's Spooky Release, so I pulled out the Gnome Friends: Ghost Die to create this funny card. I've seen similar cards online, and decided to do a version using Jaded Blossom Dies. For his eye I used Corny Halloween. The words were created using Build A Booth: Alphabet Add Ons, Alphabet Dies 2, and Gnome Dies: Spooky Add Ons for the BOO.

To make this card even more fun, I added the ghost on an action wobble so he really does shake his BOOty! To see the video of him in action, head to the Jaded Blossom Facebook Page. 

Remember, we have a current "Use Cool Colors" Challenge until November 2nd 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!

The Greeting Farm October 2024 Stamp Feature Day 3: FROSTY KISSES ANYA

Happy Friday friends! We are on our last day of Stamp Features for the October 2024 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three 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 until the 18th to join in our Blog Hop for a chance to win all 3 new stamp sets!

In a few months the weather outside will be frightful, but frosty kisses from these adorable snowmen will be sure to melt Anya's heart! Our last set of the release called FROSTY KISSES ANYA features Anya all bundled up, and hanging out with the cutest snowmen.

I embossed the sentiment and snowflakes on blue cardstock. Then I tore some white cardstock to create the snowdrift. The snowmen, Anya, and snowdrift are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

The Greeting Farm October 2024 Stamp Feature Day 2: SKATER COUPLE

Happy Thursday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the October 2024 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three 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 until the 18th to join in our Blog Hop for a chance to win all 3 new stamp sets!

Today, we have Anya and Ian at the skate park doing some sick, gnarly moves from their tricktionary. This set called SKATER COUPLE also comes with two skateboards, two sentiments, and a couple accessory stars. This set sold out extremely fast, but don't fret because Marie has some more on order!

I used some Broken China Distress Oxide Ink with a cloud stencil on the white card base. The bottom was inked with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink. Then I drew a skate ramp onto some orange cardstock, cut it out, and added darker areas with a marker. I glued the skate ramp onto the card base, added the sentiments and stars to the top of the card, and used foam tape to adhere Ian and Anya.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store to grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations. See you back here tomorrow for Day 3 of Stamp Features!

Things are getting festive around the farm, and these three gals from the MISS CHEEKY CHRISTMAS Stamp Set are gearing up for Christmas! One cheeky has the presents, one is taking a break to enjoy some hot cocoa, and one is decorating the Christmas tree. This set also comes with 5 sentiments and 2 accessory stamps.

I used Trinity Stamps Room Builder Die Set Slimline to build the background scene. The decorative papers are from different paper pads in my stash. All 3 cheekies and the speech bubbles are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store to grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations. See you back here tomorrow for Day 2 of Stamp Features!

This month's new release is all about my favorite holiday...CHRISTMAS! Today, I created a fun and cozy card using the fabulous, new Chair Die with the Relax Stamp Set and Relax Outline Dies. Of course I had to add a sweet, little girl gnome to complete the scene.

To create the pattern on the wall, I used the Fabric Stencil which is the FREEBIE offer this weekend. For the girl gnome, I used Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons (arms), Gnome Dies: Gingerbread Add Ons (hot cocoa mug), and Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1 (hat and cookie). To create dimension, I raised parts of the chair and parts of the gnome on foam tape.

This month's new release is all about my favorite holiday...CHRISTMAS! Today, I used the XL Topper Die with the new Gnome Friends: Reindeer Die and Reindeer Faces Stamp Set to create this cute little bag of Hershey Kisses! There is also a new Christmas Add On to the Street Lamp Die that comes with a Christmas bulb and wreath.

I used the Reindeer Face Stencil for the panel that covers the bottom part of the 5x5 inch clear bags (these are also sold in the Jaded Blossom Store). The sentiment is from Hello Deer Stamp Stamp and cut out using the Scallop Circle Dies.

Jaded Blossom October 2024 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 1

Happy Monday Friends! Today, we are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom October 2024 Release. You can grab the "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount. If you wait until the release goes live, the bundle price will go up.

This month's new release is all about my favorite holiday...CHRISTMAS! And what's a popular gift for the holiday season? GIFT CARDS! They are practical and easy to carry especially when you are shopping for a large family. I tweaked the Gnome Gift Card Slider Die and Gnome Gift Card Slider: Chimney Add On to create a little house with a smaller chimney for the Santa Gnome! 

I altered the gift card holder by cutting the gnome off so I could place it behind the smaller chimney. I cut a square panel using the Card Mat Dies, and layered on 3 rows of bricks. I left the bricks off the bottom of the square so I could line it up against the back edge of the gift card panel. I glued the chimney in place, and then glued the Santa gnome behind the chimney. The gnome's mustache and smaller nose are from Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1.

To create the brick house holder, I used the Gnome Gift Card Slider: Chimney Add On. I trimmed the top corners to make it look more like a roof, and added white Liquid Applique to create puffy snow. I then cut an icicle border using Winter Banner Dies 2 and glued it behind the roof before adhering it with foam tape to the top of the brick layer. The door is from the Chimney Add On, and the little windows were created using Square Internal Scallops Dies 1.

The last step was adding sentiments from the new Gnome Peeking Stamp Set behind the gift card and also on the back.
