I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Easter Bunny Eggs

Happy Friday friends! I'm back today for I Am Roses with a cute Easter card featuring Conie Fong's Easter Bunny Eggs. Isn't he the cutest?!! I love that he's popping out out of the egg. I printed this image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. 

The bunny paper is from Doodlebug Design. I used the Square Internal Scallops Dies 1 from Jaded Blossom to create the frame around the image. To finish off the card, I added R43 Pale Pink with Pink Center Peonies, White Cherry Blossoms, S10 Pink Flowers, and Tiny Green Leaves.

Remember, you have until March 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: LET'S GET SHAMROCKED!

Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe today's the last day of February! So what's up next? St. Patrick's Day, and this cutie patootie is ready to get shamrocked! I don't even drink, but I think I need to join this penguin for a few rounds! Maybe that pot of gold will come my way also, haha!

Jaded Blossom products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! To create the penguin, I used Gnome Friends: Penguin Die, Gnome Dies: St. Patrick's Day Add Ons (hat), Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (shamrock on hat, beer), and Penguin Faces Stamp Set. For the background scene, I used Border Dies 2 (grass area), Rainbow Dies, and Gnome Dies: Pot Of Gold Add Ons (pot of gold, shamrocks on pot). The sentiment is from Lucky Vibes Stamp Set.

Remember, we have a current "USE A STENCIL" Challenge until March 1st 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!

Have a great weekend!

Polka Dot Orchard: SUNSHINE OF LIFE

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back today sharing a Polka Dot Orchard card using this gorgeous coffee mug image and sentiment from the Sunshine of Life Digital Set. My friend said she loved the colors so much and she wished there really was a coffee mug like this, and I have to agree! I'd buy it in an instant! I hope we all try to be a rainbow is someone else's cloud.

Copics:

Pink: R81, R83, R85
Orange: YR02, YR04, YR97, YR09
Yellow: Y11, Y15, YR23
Green: YG23, YG25, YG67
Blue: B00, B02, B05
Purple: V12, V15, V17
Sun: Y11, Y15, YR23
Mug Blue: BG11

I copied and pasted the mug into MS Word, and adjusted the size to make it a little bit taller. I then overlaid the sentiment in the top right corner of the mug. After coloring, I fussy cut the image out. The paper is from Doodlebug Design. I added a ribbon bow to the top and raised the image on foam tape for some dimension.

I'm excited to be sharing cards using Polka Dot Orchard images again. She has also expanded her line and the store now carries rubber stamps, stencils, digital paper, etc. If you do make some PDO cards, please come share your creations with us on the Friends of Polka Dot Orchard Facebook Page so we can Ooooh and Ahhhh over them!  

Hugs,
Rosie

Happy Tuesday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the February 2025 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release.

Anya bought a new Polaroid camera and has everyone striking a pose in this set called SNAPSHOT ANYA. It's so cute and comes with several accessory images plus 6 sentiments. 

I have a lot of digital images from TGF so I copied some into MS Word, resized them really small, and created mini Polaroid pictures to go on the corkboard.

Jaded Blossom: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN ENCHANTING CREATURE

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back with a card using a couple of stencils from Jaded Blossom. Their products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! Did you see they are having a STENCIL SALE? 

Enjoy 30% off Stencils from February 2nd until March 2nd. Discount already applied!
(*2025 new stencil releases not included*)

Today, I made a birthday card combining two stencils: Mermaid Silhouette Stencil and Seaweed Stencil. First, I inked up the mermaids using Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I added Broken China over the top to fill in around the mermaids. I have a bunch of different glitter texture paste just collecting dust so I decided to pull out a green one for the seaweed. I LOVE the sparkle against the deep blue mermaid background!

The sentiment is from the Make A Splash Gnomie Stamp Set. I used the coordinating Outline Dies to cut it out and then inked the edges with some Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. 

Remember, we have a current "USE A STENCIL" Challenge until March 1st 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!

For my project today, I created goodie bags for these safari animal candies I found on Amazon. I used the XL Topper Die, 5x5 inch Clear Bag, and Zebra Stripes Stencil with black texture paste to create the pattern on the bag topper. Of course I had to add a Safari Gnome! To create my gnomes, I used Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1 (mustache and nose), Gnome Dies: Safari Add Ons (hat), and Gnome Dies: Outdoor Add Ons (camera and binoculars).

 

 

The sentiments are from Wild Valentine Stamp Set and cut out using Mini Tag Dies 2. I raised the gnomes and sentiments on foam tape for extra dimension.
