Today, I used some fabulous paper and a sentiment panel from Echo Park Ghosts and Goblins 6x6 Paper Pad. I love that this paper pad has large sentiments that can be used as the focal point of your card.

 

 

The puffy ghosts and spiders stickers are from Doodlebug Design. To finish off the card, I added gorgeous R43 white peonies, black cherry blossoms, purple achillea cottage flowers, white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves that I inked up with black ink.

 

I wanted to create some webbing on the card since I added spiders so I drizzled Fabri-Tac Glue over the flowers.

Conie Fong: GHOSTLY GREETINGS!

Ghostly Greetings friends! It's Halloween Eve so I'm popping on to share these adorable ghost cards using the girl ghost with bow from Conie Fong's Halloween Bundle. This bundle comes with 16 different images in two formats: JPG and PNG. I used the PNG format and layered multiple white ghosts and pink ghosts on a black background. I then printed the design, and colored in their bows using markers.

These were fun to create! The time consuming part was rotating the ghosts and layering them on the black background. Now I can print this design multiple times for mass card making. I think it would be a fun project for kids to color. They could even draw in designs on the ghosts to make them more unique.

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,

Rosie

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

I loved the ghost card Jamie made a few weeks back during the Jaded Blossom September Release. You can see her card HERE. Instead of going with a spooky vibe, I decided to go cute and girly with pink ghosts! To create this card, I used Gnome Friends: Ghost Die, Ghost Faces Stamp Set, Ghostly Greetings Stamp Set + Outline Dies, Window Card Mat Die, and Scallop Rectangle Dies 2. 

 

 

The starry background paper and the striped paper for the bows are both from Doodlebug Design. I raised the sentiment and the heads of the ghosts on foam tape for extra dimension. 

 

 This is Jamie's card that I cased:

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Ghost With Pumpkin

Ghostly Greetings friends! I am back today for I Am Roses with a Halloween card featuring this adorable ghost with pumpkin from Conie Fong. This cutie is part of a Halloween Bundle. I love this sweet ghost because she's definitely too cute too spook! You can also learn how to draw this adorable ghost by heading over to the Draw With Conie YouTube Channel. 

I used the Jaded Blossom Scallop Circle Die to cut out the black scallop border around the ghost. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Ghostly Greetings Stamp Set. I curved it on the stamping block so it would fit beneath the ghost. The stars and bats are Doodlebug Design Shape Sprinkles. 

To finish off the card, I added R43 Pale Pink Peonies, S3 Orange Cherry Blossoms, S11 Black Summer Cottage, S10m Soft Pink Small Achillea Cottage, and Tiny Green Leaves.

Remember, you have until November 8th to link up your project 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

Jaded Blossom: Shake Your BOOty!

Happy Friday everyone! I LOVE the ghosts from last month's Spooky Release, so I pulled out the Gnome Friends: Ghost Die to create this funny card. I've seen similar cards online, and decided to do a version using Jaded Blossom Dies. For his eye I used Corny Halloween. The words were created using Build A Booth: Alphabet Add Ons, Alphabet Dies 2, and Gnome Dies: Spooky Add Ons for the BOO.

To make this card even more fun, I added the ghost on an action wobble so he really does shake his BOOty! To see the video of him in action, head to the Jaded Blossom Facebook Page. 

Remember, we have a current "Use Cool Colors" Challenge until November 2nd 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!

And be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes. 

 

Have a great weekend!

Jaded Blossom: It's Your Birthday, Let's BOOGIE!

Happy Friday everyone! We recently had a Spooky Release, and the Gnome Friends: Ghost Die is one of my favorites! It's really versatile and perfect for so many different occasions. For today, I created a ghostly birthday card using one of the sentiments from the Ghostly Greeting Stamp Set, along with the Outline Dies. The cute faces were created using the Ghost Faces Stamp Set.

To make this card even more fun, I added the ghosts on action wobbles so they shake...or should I say BOOGIE! To see the video of them in action, head to the Jaded Blossom Facebook Page. 

Remember, we have a current ANYTHING GOES Challenge until October 5th 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!

Jaded Blossom September 2024 Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday friends! It's time for the Jaded Blossom September 2024 Release! To celebrate, we are having a little hop to showcase the fabulous projects created by the Design Team. If you came here from Cindy's Blog then you are in the right place. If you are just passing through, please start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing! I have the complete line up at the bottom of this post.

I have so many ideas in my head for the new ghost and bear dies, and I don't have enough time to get them all out, haha! I wanted to use a bunch of the new products on my project, so I decided to create a scene card. My boy and girl bear are dressed up and ready to get all the Halloween candy!

I used the pumpkin from Gnome Dies: Spooky Add Ons for the pumpkin outfit on the boy bear. The bear faces were created using the Bear Faces Stamp Set. For the girl bear, I layered 3 of the Gnome Friends: Ghost Die to make the ghost costume long enough to cover her body. TIP: You want to use only the bottom scallop part of the ghost die on the two bottom layers (if you don't trim the tops of the bottom ghost layers then the stacked paper is too thick for the die to cut the eye holes). I used a die in the Gnome Friends: Bear Die to cut out the eye holes on the ghost. The pumpkin candy basket was created using Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons and one of the pumpkins from Wheelbarrow Dies: Fall Add Ons. I also included the Street Lamp Die the Rickety Fence Die, and Bear Hugs Stamp Set from the new release.
