+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Today, I used a fabulous digital set from Conie Fong called Axolotl Sea Animal Sentiment Bundle. It comes with 11 awesome images and 9 sentiments! On this card, I used Turtle Birthday Cake and the little fish trio included in the set. After I created the scene in MS Word, I printed it on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored it with Copic Markers. 

 

 

Next, I used circle dies from Jaded Blossom to cut out the scene and frame it. The paper is from Doodlebug Design. 

 

To finish off the card, I added green gardenia flowers, white cherry blossoms, teal achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves.

The Greeting Farm June 2026 Challenge: ADD A BANNER!

Happy Monday Farmers! If you are not on Instagram, you may have missed The Greeting Farm's special announcement. As Marie takes this necessary time off, the Design Team will continue to post inspiration on the blog. The Greeting Farm will also continue with monthly challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate. If you LOVE The Greeting Farm, please continue to support them during this time by purchasing their Clear Stamps, Digital Stamps, and Coloring Book Pages.

"I've decided to take a break from TGF due to my busy schedule. I'm hoping that after I'm able to clear my load a bit, I can get back to bringing you some cute designs. So there won't be new releases until further notice. In the meantime, the shop will still be running, and if you have any questions at all please send me an email. Thanks everyone!" ---- Marie

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

Our JUNE 2026 Challenge is: ADD A BANNER

The challenges start on the 15th of each month, and run until the 14th of the next month so you have several weeks to work on your project. The full list of CHALLENGE RULES will be listed under the challenge album on Facebook. 

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

For my card today, I combined two stamp sets: Bring Me Smiles and Bee Happy. I think the whimsical florals and large sentiments in Bring Me Smiles pairs perfectly with the cute, adorable bees in Bee Happy! 

I stamped the floral image with a light pink ink onto watercolor paper. I then used Zig watercolor markers and a paintbrush to color in the flowers. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment in black and then went over the letters with a black acrylic marker so the words showed up better. I cut the bees out and raised them on foam tape for extra dimension. The circle panel is also raised on foam tape. The scallop circle frame is from Jaded Blossom. The large fishtail banner is from Diamond Press.

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 with us. 

Hugs,
Rosie

Stamping Bella: Rosie and Bernie the Unicorn Postage Stamps

Happy Saturday friends! I'm back today for Stamping Bella featuring a digital stamp set called Rosie and Bernie the Unicorn Postage Stamps. The entire Rosie and Bernie series of digital stamps is my favorite because my nickname is Rosie and I LOVE unicorns! I printed the images on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, colored them with Copic Markers, and then trimmed off the postage stamp edge to create frames. I attached them to a cork board background (created from an old Stamping Bella stamp) with foam tape for extra dimension.

 

 

The sentiment is from another Stamping Bella digital set called Thoughtful Chick. The paper is from Doodlebug Design. 

 

Here is a closeup of Rosie and Bernie so you can see the sparkle I added to Rosie's glasses/shirt and Bernie's horn/mane. 

 

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store and grab your faves. They carry both rubber stamps and digis! 

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom June 2026 New Release BLOG HOP!

If you're just passing through, please start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I have the complete blog hop line-up at the bottom of this post.

May was MerMay, and I think for me June is going to be Junicorn! I am having so much fun turning the Gnome Friends: Horse Die into a unicorn! The expressions in the Horse Faces Stamp Set are so cute and hilarious. I based my card around one of the sentiments in the Hay Thanks Stamp Set: Be A UNICORN in a field full of horses. I think it's such a great reminder not to compare yourself to others....just be unapologetically YOU. 

To create the hind legs, I just die cut the front legs, color them a little darker, and glue them behind and a little higher up. The grass paper is a digi file I bought off Etsy. I raised the two front horses, the unicorn, and the sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension.

Today, I created a party favor box by combining the Saloon Die with the Build A Booth: Treat Box Add On. These would be so much fun for a cowboy/western birthday party!

The doors of this saloon open to reveal a sentiment from the Wanted Stamp Set + Outline Dies. The cowboy boots are from Gnome Dies: Southwestern Add Ons.

Happy Tuesday friends! We are on Day 2 of the Jaded Blossom June 2026 Release. You can grab the entire "Gotta Have It Now Package" for a discounted amount! Individual items will be available for purchase on Thursday.

Today, I am showcasing stamps and dies with a southwestern theme. To make the background scene, I used the new Southwestern Scenic Dies. The outlaw gnome was created by combining the new Gnome Dies: Southwestern Add Ons with Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1, Gnome Dies (mustache, beard, hands), and Gnome Dies: Leg Add Ons. The sentiment is from the new Wanted Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

The sky was created using ink and a stencil. The rest of the card was made with cardstock or patterned paper. I didn't do any coloring on this one (except for the inside of his ears). I raised the entire gnome on foam tape for extra dimension. Parts of the gnome are also raised on foam tape like his hat brim, and nose/mustache. I really had a lot of fun making him!

Stamping Bella: SQUIDGY MERMAID

Happy Sunday friends! I'm ending the month of May with a magical card for Stamping Bella featuring the Squidgy Mermaid Digital Stamp Set. I LOVE Stamping Bella images, and I'm so happy they are offering digital stamps!! I printed this adorable girl and the sentiment on Copic Xpress It Blending Card. After coloring her with Copic markers, I used Distress Ink to add the water around the image and Memento Ink for the sand.

 

To add to the whimsy, I attached Doodlebug Design Puffy Icon Stickers. I think the little fish are soooooo cute! 

 

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store to grab your faves. They carry both rubber stamps and digital stamps. You're going to love them so much!

 

Hugs,

Rosie
