ANYTHING GOES!
(must use at least one Jaded Blossom Product)

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

We just had an awesome travel release for July so I continued with the theme and created a cruise card. I have several family members and friends who love the cruise life, so I had to incorporate the cruise ship from Gnome Dies: Travel Add Ons onto a card. It fit perfectly in the Photo Frame Die with the Mini Girl Gnome Die.  

 

The shell she is holding is from Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons. The sentiment is from the Sky Is The Limit Stamp Set.

This month's prize for a randomly selected winner is:

 

We hope you play along in our monthly challenge for a chance to win a FREE Stamp Set! Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store to grab all your favorite products! They also have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

I had this travel digital paper from Carta Bella called Let's Travel and cropped in on Italy to create the background paper. It had a Colosseum printed on the paper, but I covered it with the stamped version from the Anya In Italy stamp set.

I added the plate of spaghetti and coffee mug from the set next to the word Italy. I then stamped Buona Giornata in the bottom right corner, and added the Vespa and Anya in the left corner.

I colored the images with Copic Markers and then fussy cut them out. The background scene was also created with markers, along with a cloud stencil and some Distress Oxide Ink.

The Greeting Farm March 2023 Stamp Feature Day 1: EXPLORE ANYA FB

 Happy Thursday everyone! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the March 2023 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced 3 new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Claudette, Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release. Don't forget about the TGF Blog Hop where 1 lucky person will take home all 3 stamp sets!

This set called EXPLORE ANYA FB (front/back) features Anya with her backpack ready for a day of adventure! I love that it has a front facing Anya along with a back view of Anya. There are so many possibilities with this set!!

 
I found a digital Italy scene on Creative Fabrica, and printed it out to use as my background. The sentiment says "Make Your Own Path". I should have used black ink for the sentiment because the gold is a little hard to see. I also added the squirrel from the set on the cobblestone road. He's greeting Anya with an acorn. I think the next time I create this card, I will lighten the colors on the background so Anya stands out more.

The Greeting Farm February 2023 Stamp Feature Day 1: ANYA IN ENGLAND

 Happy Thursday everyone! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the February 2023 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced 3 new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Claudette, Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog showcasing the new release. Don't forget about the TGF Blog Hop where 1 lucky person will take home all 3 stamp sets!

Anya is back to traveling! This month she's in England and doing some sightseeing in London. I decided to create a large Polaroid card with the ANYA IN ENGLAND set. Do you know you can create a Polaroid any size you need? I took a fairly large square die and cut a square out of white cardstock. I then trimmed up the sides to look like a Polaroid. If you don't have a square die, you can also use your paper trimmer to cut a square shape, trace onto your cardstock, and use a craft knife to cut out the square. 

 

I stamped Anya and Big Ben on Xpress It Blending Card. I colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out. Next I cut a square piece of blending card large enough to fit behind the square opening. I colored in a road and green shrubs and added the sky. I used my craft knife to cut the top of part of the shrubs so I could slide the clock behind the shrubs. I then placed Anya on the gravel road. I glued the Polaroid frame onto of my colored panel, and added the sentiment and accessory stamps.

I found these awesome Korean Digital Papers on Etsy. They were the perfect fit! The red frame is a die from Diamond Press. The corner die is from Whimsy Stamps. I raised the frame, Anya, and the sentiment on foam tape for dimension.
