Conie Fong: BEAR HUGS FOR YOU

Happy Sunday friends! I'm closing out the month of August with an adorable Panda digital set from Conie Fong called Bear Panda Drawing Heart Bundle. It comes with a panda version and a regular bear version in both PNG and JPEG formats. I love this little panda bear coloring a heart!

I colored the image with Copic markers. The sky was created using a stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom Bear Hugs Stamp Set, and cut out using the coordinating Outline Dies. 

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Hugs,

Conie Fong: FOR MY BEARY SWEET FRIEND

Happy Saturday friends! August is coming to an end, and I'm closing out the month with some adorable Panda cards (today and tomorrow) using an awesome digital set from Conie Fong called Panda Bundle. It comes with 6 different panda images in both PNG and JPEG formats so a total of 12 images for only $4.00. That's less than 34 cents per image!! It's such a great deal! Check out this cutie patootie!

I printed the scene at 6 inches tall to create this mini slimline card (3.5 x 6). I colored the image with Copic markers. The sky was created using a stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom Bear Hugs Stamp Set.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images.

Jaded Blossom: HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS SHIRT CARDS

Happy Friday everyone! I am loving the new Denim Pocket Die from Jaded Blossom so I decided to create some more Shirt Cards.....this time with a Halloween and Christmas theme. The Denim Pocket Die is so versatile and can be used for many different occasions and holidays. I love to give Gift Cards, and this is such a creative way to deliver them.

For both cards, I used pattern paper from Doodlebug Design. For the shirt collar, I used Rectangle Dies 2, and Scallop Rectangle Dies 1 to create the scallop border. The buttons are dies that are part of the Denim Pocket Die. These were so much fun to make!

Remember, we have a current "1980's THEME" Challenge until September 6th for a chance to win 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!

Joining in the celebration is her adorable cat carrying a present, a festive cake with strawberries and flowers, a classic 3-leg pedestal table, and 3 sentiments. 

I used pattern paper to create the background. Anya and her adorable cat are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

The Greeting Farm August 2025 Stamp Feature Day 2: MADDOX THE DOG

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the August 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. 

Today, my card features MADDOX THE DOG. Whether Maddox is balancing a stack of books, standing proudly with his friendly mouse companion, or off to mail a sweet letter, he's ready to bring some smiles to your cards. This set also comes with a cozy table with pens and paper, a cluster of flowers, a classic mailbox, and several sentiments.

I used the Diagonal Card Mat Die from Jaded Blossom to frame the different scenes. The green paw print paper is from Doodlebug Design. I cut apart two of the sentiments to make it say, "Enjoy Your Happy Mail. Also, I reversed the image of Maddox holding the stack of books so he would face to the left and fit better in the framed area.

Happy Tuesday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the August 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.

I stamped several of the emoji stamps on white cardstock to create my own pattern paper. The scallop border is a My Favorite Things Die. The sky was created using ink and a stencil. I used some deckle scissors to cut a strip of paper and inked it with green ink to create the grass. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. 

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!

To create the girl farmer, I used the new Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons with Girl Gnome Dies (hands), Gnome Dies: Girl Face Add Ons, Gingerbread Faces Stamp Set, Gnome Dies: Girl Scarecrow Add Ons (straw), and Gnome Dies: Beekeeper Add Ons (hat).

This release is all about farm life! Today, we are showcasing the Denim Pocket Die and Pocket Full Of Sunshine Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

I knew when I saw this die that I wanted to create a shirt card. I had some old western style papers in my stash and used the Denim Pocket Die with the Rectangle Dies 1 to create the shirt. The buttons are also from the new die set.

 

This set is so versatile also. It would be so much fun to create Christmas shirts to give your gift card/cash present (I have examples coming). If you are a teacher you could make these for your students and fill them with small crayons or pencils. The possibilities are endless!

Happy Monday Friends! We are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom August 2025 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 release is all about farm life! I'm so excited we have cute farm add-ons and new animals coming your way! Today, we are starting off with Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons, Windmill Die, and Hay Friend Stamp Set + Outline Dies. There are so many adorable animals in the Farm Add Ons! I decided to create an 8x8 canvas wall hanging so I could include as much as possible from today's featured sets. 

 

The background scene is a digital landscape printable from Creative Fabrica. I printed it on white cardstock, and trimmed it to 8x8 to fit on the canvas. I then created my farmer by using Gnome Dies (hands), Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1 (face), Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons (hair/nose), Gnome Dies: Girl Scarecrow Add Ons (hat), and Gnome Faces Stamp Set (smile). The body/clothes, shoes, and bandana are from the new Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons. The black/white beads are from Amazon.

 

 
The tractor, pitchfork, barrel of veggies, pig, and goat are all from the Gnome Dies: Farm Add Ons. The windmill was created using the Windmill Die. The sentiment is from the Hay Friend Stamp Set.
