La-La Land Crafts Winter 2026 Release!

Happy Monday friends! If you didn't see my Instagram post on Friday, I have some exciting news to share! I am officially a designer for La-La Land Crafts. Today, we have a brand new release featuring lots of amazing winter and Christmas goodies! The La-La Land Craft's Winter 2026 Release includes 12 new dies sets, 7 new stamp sets, and 3 new paper packs. I 'll be showcasing projects over the next month with all the new items.

For my first project, I created a 3-D pop-up house using a mix of new and old dies, along with two new stamps sets: GOOD CHEER (Santa) and REAL HOOT (owls). To create the pop-up house, I used the following dies & paper pack:

Roof Hinge Large Die, Winter House Add-On Die, Gingerbread House Add-On Die (gold gumdrop border), Vintage Christmas Trees Die (used on sides of house), North Pole Sign Die (used on back of house), Christmas Mix 6x6 Paper Pack

**Released previously: House Base Die, Cottage Add-On Die

The windows are cut out so you can place a flame-less candle inside and it will glow. I can see making a bunch of these in different colors to decorate the fireplace mantle or placed on a tiered display stand for the kitchen island. So much fun!

These are the amazing ladies I'll be crafting alongside as part of the La-La Land Crafts Design Team.

Conie Fong: DOG WITH CANDY CANE

I'm still working on Christmas cards, and I couldn't pass up this adorable puppy from Conie Fong's Dog with Bone and Candy Cane Bundle. Isn't he the cutest dog ever?!! I printed the image on Xpress It Blending Card, cut it out with scissors, and colored him with Copic Markers. 

I created the indoor scene using patterned paper. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Sweet Christmas Wishes Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Rosie

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Bauble Gnome

I'm finishing up Christmas In July, with a card for I Am Roses featuring this fantastic digital stamp from Conie Fong called Bauble Gnome. It's part of a larger bundle of digis that can be purchased HERE. Isn't he so adorable?! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copic Markers.

The large flowers are R43 red peonies, followed by S4-15 white flowers, red cherry blossoms, and tiny green roses leaves. 

Remember, we currently have a monthly challenge until August 8th 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

Stamping Bella: PENGUIN FAMILY

Happy Wednesday friends! I'm back today for Stamping Bella featuring a digital stamp set called Penguin Family. If you follow me then you know I love penguins just as much as I love unicorns! And this adorable penguin family is having so much fun out in the snow, especially the girl penguin on the left who has rolled her brother up into a snowball, LOL!

 

 

I LOVE that Stamping Bella carries stamps that are complete scenes, because once they are colored up they become the focal point of your card. You really don't need to add anything extra. I placed a black card mat behind the scene, and kept it easy and simple so the image shines on it's own. 

 

 

Be sure to check out the Stamping Bella Store because they recently released 10 Christmas Digital Images so you have plenty to choose from for your holiday cards! They also carry some of the best rubber stamps!

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom: I Hope Your Holidays Are Filled With Gingerbread Lattes!

Happy Friday everyone! Many crafters are doing Christmas in July, where you spend the month making Christmas cards to get a head-start on the holiday season. I'm on a gingerbread and gnome kick, so today I decided to combine the Gnome Coffee Mug Dies from the newest release with this adorable Large Gingerbread Girl Stamp. I added arms around the little gnome mug using dies from Gnome Friends: Gingerbread Die.  

To break up the design of the background paper, I used the Whimsical Banner Dies to create the center banner. The sentiment is from Gingerbread Brewed Stamp Set + Outline Dies.  

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

We currently have an ANYTHING GOES Challenge with the option of Christmas in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until August 1st. We hope you play along for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store!

The Greeting Farm NEW DIGI RELEASE: Gift Wrap Anya and Santa's Favorite Ian!

Happy Wednesday everyone! The holidays are quickly approaching so today The Greeting Farm is releasing two NEW Digital Stamp Sets: Gift Wrap Anya and Santa's Favorite Ian!

The great thing about digis is that they give you creative freedom by allowing you the option to layer images, resize, flip, and customize scenes before printing. Not to mention you get instant access so you don't have to wait on shipping. These sets also come with a summary sheet of all the images so if you aren't tech savvy you can just print the summary sheet, color the images, use scissors to cut them out, and then build your scene. 

For my card today, I used Gift Wrap Anya. Instead of trying to build the scene digitally, I printed the summary sheet that comes with the digi set, colored each image, and fussy cut them out.

I printed some wood digital paper and combined it with printed paper to create the living room scene. Next, I layered the images onto the card base raising parts of the images on foam tape for more dimension. 

 

GIFT WRAP ANYA is the perfect digital stamp set for capturing the magic of the holidays. With so many images included, you can create amazing cards, gift tags, and scrapbook pages. This charming collection of digis features Anya cozied up on a furry rug as she wraps a special gift, surrounded by all the festive essentials: a comfy chair, twinkling Christmas tree, extra presents, rolls of wrapping paper, tape, scissors, ribbon, and twine. To keep the holiday spirit sweet, she's also treating herself to a mug of hot cocoa and a plate of cookies. This set celebrates the joy of giving.

SANTA'S FAVORITE IAN is a heartwarming digital stamp set that celebrates the delight of Christmas morning. Ian sits happily with his adorable puppy surrounded by the wonderful toys Santa brought: an impressive train set, classic nutcracker, playful robot, toy car, cuddly teddy bear, and cute snowman stuffie, with a few unopened presents still waiting to surprise him. The scene is set with a cozy chair and coffee table topped with a steaming cup of hot cocoa and a tray of fabulous cookies. This set captures the excitement of childhood wonder and the magic of Christmas.

Be sure to grab these awesome digi sets today so you can get started on those holiday cards and gift tags! I'll be back later in the week to showcase the card I made using Santa's Favorite Ian.

Hugs,
Rosie
