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

I use the smaller Treat Tag Die and cut it from cream, red, green, and white cardstock. Next, I used the Stitched Circle Dies to cut the red, white, and green tags to form the red hat, white beard, green hat, and green shirt. The adorable elf face is from Gingerbread Faces Stamp Set.

This release brings you so many awesome products for Christmas! I am loving everything coming your way this month! Today, Jaded Blossom is showcasing Gnome Dies: Santas Sleigh, Christmas Tree Stencil, and the FREEBIE Offer. 

I went all out and created an outdoor scene using the new Gnome Dies: Santas Sleigh along with the Gnome Friends: Reindeer Die and Reindeer Faces Stamp Set. For the gnome, I used the hat die from the original Gnome Dies, and the puffy hat brim/pom pom from Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1. The sentiment/outline dies are from Merry Christmas Gnomie.

 

The new Christmas Tree Stencil comes with two stencils....one with trees and one with the stars. I used the stars stencil on the background paper. The trees and stars were both used on the present next to Santa. I raised the sleigh and reindeer on foam tape for extra dimension.

Conie Fong: SANTA WITH GIFT SACK SHADOWBOX CARD

Happy Tuesday friends! July is coming to an end, and I'm closing out the month with some more Christmas in July cards. For today's project, I created a Santa Shadowbox Card that fits inside a 5x7 envelope when folded flat. That adorable Santa is a digi stamp from Conie Fong called Santa with Gift Sack. Isn't he adorable?! I printed him on Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copics.

 

To create the shadowbox scene, I used an older stamp/die kit from Diamond Press called Christmas Shadowbox. It came with all the dies to create the shadowbox, along with stamps to decorate the inside. I just swapped out the Santa using the one from Conie. 

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 separate group to share your drawings from her YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE if you happen 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!

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom October 2024 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 1

Happy Monday Friends! Today, we are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom October 2024 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 month's new release is all about my favorite holiday...CHRISTMAS! And what's a popular gift for the holiday season? GIFT CARDS! They are practical and easy to carry especially when you are shopping for a large family. I tweaked the Gnome Gift Card Slider Die and Gnome Gift Card Slider: Chimney Add On to create a little house with a smaller chimney for the Santa Gnome! 

I altered the gift card holder by cutting the gnome off so I could place it behind the smaller chimney. I cut a square panel using the Card Mat Dies, and layered on 3 rows of bricks. I left the bricks off the bottom of the square so I could line it up against the back edge of the gift card panel. I glued the chimney in place, and then glued the Santa gnome behind the chimney. The gnome's mustache and smaller nose are from Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1.

To create the brick house holder, I used the Gnome Gift Card Slider: Chimney Add On. I trimmed the top corners to make it look more like a roof, and added white Liquid Applique to create puffy snow. I then cut an icicle border using Winter Banner Dies 2 and glued it behind the roof before adhering it with foam tape to the top of the brick layer. The door is from the Chimney Add On, and the little windows were created using Square Internal Scallops Dies 1.

The last step was adding sentiments from the new Gnome Peeking Stamp Set behind the gift card and also on the back.

Jaded Blossom: BLACK FRIDAY SALE & NEW RELEASE!

 Happy Tuesday everyone! It's time for the Jaded Blossom Black Friday Sale & New Release!

Jaded Blossom is releasing a few new items!

Click HERE to check out the new items.

For my project today, I used the Build A Booth Die and Build A Booth: Treat Box Add Ons with the new Build A Booth: Christmas Characters Add Ons to create this Santa Booth. It holds some adorable milk chocolate Santas that I found at Walmart. 

Normally, the Build A Booth Die has an opening in the middle. But I wanted to give my Santa a face, so I cut a rectangle to fit behind the mustache and hat trim and colored it with E000 for the skin tone. 

 

I used the small circle die included in the new Build A Booth: Christmas Characters Add Ons to die-cut the black eyes. Then I used a white gel pen to add the pupil highlights.

 

I used some red patterned paper from Lawn Fawn Knit Picky for his hat. Isn't he adorable?! I love how he turned out. I was also going to add Liquid Applique to make the trim and pom pom of his hat fluffy and I forgot, LOL!
