Today, I'm sharing a card using this fabulous image from Conie Fong's Succulent and Cactus Bundle. I pieced together several of the succulent images in MS Word to make this grouping. I printed it on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored it with Copic Markers. Next, I fussy cut it out, and raised it on foam tape.  

 

For the flowers, I used R43 pale pink with pink center peonies, S3-15 white cherry blossoms, S10m-(4C) soft pink-hot pink center small achillea cottage flowers, along with tiny green roses leaves. The background succulent paper is a digital file from Etsy.

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.

Conie Fong: SUCCULENT AND CACTUS BUNDLE

Happy Tuesday friends! Today's card features an adorable illustration from Conie Fong's Succulent and Cactus Bundle. Isn't this cacti family adorable?! I love their sweet expressions! The cacti image was printed on Xpress It Blending Card, and colored with Copic Markers.

I used a cloud stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to make the sky background. I trimmed off the bottom pot so the little guy would look like he was peeking out of the photo frame. The Photo Frame Die and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom. The cacti paper is a digital paper pack from Etsy.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also has a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE if you want to give drawing a try. Head over and join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group to share your drawings. We would love to Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Jaded Blossom: HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Friday everyone! I've been doing a Penguin for all the Seasons/Holidays series using dies from Jaded Blossom because I love penguins as much as I love gnomes. It's so much fun adding these cute penguins to different scenes. Since Easter is this Sunday, I created an Easter card!

To make the adorable penguin, I used Gnome Friends: Penguin Die and Penguin Faces Stamp Set. The bunny ears headband was created using Gnome Dies: Bride and Groom (headband), and Gnome Dies: Easter Add Ons (ears). The egg is also from Gnome Dies: Easter Add Ons. To create the Easter basket, I used Octagon Treat Box Dies and Octagon Dies: Easter Add Ons. The chocolate bunny is from Octagon Dies: Easter Add Ons. To create the grassy slope, I used Mushroom Dies. The sentiment is from Carrots For Sale Stamp Set.  

Remember, we also have a current "ANIMALS" Challenge until May 3rd 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 wonderful and safe Easter weekend!
