Jaded Blossom: JUST SITTING HERE THINKING OF YOU

Happy Friday everyone! This month we had an awesome Bee/Spring Release at Jaded Blossom. I know I say it every time, but I think it was one of my favorite releases of all time! The Tree Swing Die is such a fabulous addition to my collection, and I just had to add a cute penguin! Isn't she the sweetest penguin ever?!!

To create the penguin, I used Gnome Friends: Penguin Die and Penguin Faces Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the Relax Stamp Set. 

Remember, we have a current "ANYTHING GOES" Challenge until May 31st 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 to the Blog Post. There are instructions HERE to help you!

Have a great weekend!

The Greeting Farm May 2025 Stamp Feature Day 3: FUN ON THE FARM

Happy Friday friends! We are on our last day of Stamp Features for the May 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 this week showcasing the new release.

Anya and Ian have bought a farm! In this set called FUN ON THE FARM, our sweet couple is busy raising chickens, sheep, and little piggies. This set is definitely loads of fun!

I used a pre-colored farm scene from a digital paper pack on Etsy called Whimsical Farm for the background. After coloring my stamped images, I fussy cut them out and added them to the scene using 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.

Hugs,
Rosie

Jaded Blossom May 2025 New Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday Friends! It's time for the Jaded Blossom May 2025 New Release Blog Hop! All new items are NOW available for purchase! Click HERE to shop. I'm first on the hop list so if you came here from the Jaded Blossom Blog, you're in the right place. Next up is Stacey. I have the complete line up at the bottom of this post.

Today, I used the Crate Die and Build A Booth Die to create this little gift set that holds 2 mini jars of flavored honey. I used the Honeycomb Stencil FREEBIE on the booth panels before stamping the sentiments from the Bee Kind Stamp Set. I thought it would be fun to add one of the large bees from Gnome Friends: Honey Bee Die to the top of the booth. The bee's adorable face was created using Bee Faces Stamp Set.

To create the girl beekeeper, I started with the Gnome Dies: Girl Face Add Ons. Her cute facial features were created by combining two stamps from Gingerbread Faces Stamp Set. Her arms are from Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons. Her outfit and hat are from the new Gnome Dies: Beekeeper Add On. The little bee design on her jumper is a Doodlebug Design Shape Sprinkle.

I added a little honey pot and small bee from Gnome Dies: Beekeeper Add On to the booth to finish it off.

*********************************

I'm continuing with my Penguin series, and this month we have Mother's Day quickly approaching. I love that the Gnome Friends: Penguin Die comes with a big penguin and a little penguin. It's the perfect set for both Mother's Day and Father's Day! To create the face on the big penguin, I used Penguin Faces Stamp Set, and then drew in some eyelashes.

The center roses frame with the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment is from Floral Frame with Outline Die. I used the Stitched Arch Dies to create a backdrop for the sentiment. The paper is from a digital paper pack on Etsy. I raised the sentiment panel and penguins on foam tape for extra dimension.

Jaded Blossom: LET'S FIESTA!

Happy Friday everyone! It's MAY, and that means Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner! My card today for Jaded Blossom features this fabulous cactus from the Let's Fiesta Stamp Set. Isn't he adorable?! I used a die that's part of the Gnome Dies: Tea Add Ons to make the cactus pot. 

The window frame was created using the newly released Stitched Arch Dies. I even created my own background paper using the Chili Pepper Stencil. The cactus and arched frame are both raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

Remember, we have a current "ANIMALS" Challenge until tomorrow, May 2nd, for a chance at winning a free stamp set! You don't have to have a blog to play along.
