The Greeting Farm May Stamp Feature Day 1: CHEEKY MERMAIDS

 Happy Monday everyone! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the MAY 2022 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!

I have a soft spot for anything magical so these beautiful CHEEKY MERMAIDS make me so giddy!! This set comes with two stunning mermaids, along with some extra sea life and sentiments. They are definitely a MUST HAVE!

 Today, I created a card using this adorable digital stamp from Conie Fong called CURLY PIGLET. I had so much fun coloring this cutie! I printed her on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored her with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the Lulu and Lonny with Balloon Set Digi.

 

COPICS:
Piglet: R00, R01, R02, R12
Hooves: C6, C8, C10

Bow: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV17, RV19

I used card bases from Hobby Lobby for the decorative paper. I just cut them apart to fit the 6x6 card base. The ribbon hides where the two patterns are pieced together. The floral spray and flowers are from I Am Roses.

TLC Designs: MIX & MATCH HOP on Instagram!

Happy Sunday friends! Today, my card is for TLC Designs, and follows the rules for the Mix and Match Hop. My DT Sisters have an Instagram Hop going on right now. Head over to the TLC Designs Instagram Page for all the details and Hop list. I've also included some information below.

For this month, the Design Team was challenged to combine the newly released stamps from last month with products previously released so you can see how the products can be mixed together.

For my card today, I used the Hop-A Roos Stamp Set and combined it with the leaves and sentiment from Festive Friends Digital Stamp Set. To create the clouds I used the Happy Bloom Day & Clouds Stencil, and for the grassy knoll I used the Splash of Hearts & Land Stencil. 

Aren't these kangaroos so much fun?!! I raised the kangaroos on foam tape for some added dimension. The black scallop mat behind my card base was created using the largest die from the Rosie Sentiment Die Set.

Here are some of the details on the Mix and Match Hop:

Welcome to TLC Designs May 2022 Mix and Match Hop on Instagram!!  The team is excited to show how well ALL the products from @tlcdesignsshop mix and match together for endless creative options.  From unique and creative dies, to beautiful stamps and stencils —TLC Designs has it ALL! You can hop along with us for your chance to win a $20.00 card to the TLC Designs store. The hop will end on May 20th @ 11:59 PM PST.  Winners will be announced on the @tlcdesignsshop blog and Instagram by May 23rd 2022.

Jaded Blossom: GNOME WORRIES, BEE HAPPY!

 Happy Friday friends! I'm back today for Jaded Blossom sharing a home decor piece I created. Tier trays are all the rave and it's so much cheaper to make your own little shadow box frames and signs using stamps and dies you already own. These little wood frames make awesome gifts for friends and family too! 

I used digital paper for the honeycomb background. The stamp is from the GNOME WORRIES BEE HAPPY Stamp Set. I stamped it directly on the paper and used a black marker to color in the words GNOME and BEE and the stripes on the little bees. Then I stamped the gnomes 3 times and colored them, fussy cut them out, and added them with foam tape for extra dimension. 

I found these cute chocolates I think at Target (I can't remember now) and they were perfect for this project. I did find some cute little bee embellishments to glue inside at the bottom of this shadow box frame, but they didn't arrive in time so I'll have to add them later. 

 

Remember, Jaded Blossom has a current ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE. You have until JUNE 4th to play along for a chance to win a free stamp set! 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. 

Hugs,

Prize:

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

Today, I created a graduation-themed scallop caddy to hold some gold heart chocolates. Last week, I created a graduation gnome card for my niece. I also have a nephew who is graduating so I had to create something for him. :)
Check out how adorable this guy is! I added a little bit of a face and curled his mustache. He kind of reminds of the chef from The Muppets, haha!

I used the Scallop Caddy Die to create the box. The gnome was created using the Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: School Add Ons, and the Gnome Dies: Number Add Ons. The sentiment is from the Happy Graduation Stamp Set.

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Daisy Carrot Bunny Bouquet

 Happy Saturday friends! Today's card is for I Am Roses, and features their gorgeous flowers with this adorable Conie Fong bunny that is part of the Daisy Carrot Bunny Bouquet Bundle. Isn't she the sweetest bunny ever?!! 

COPICS:
Gray: N0, N2, N4
White: C0, C1
Pink: R00, R30, R20
Green: YG23, G24, YG67
Daisies: Y11, YR23, R00, R81

The sentiment on the card is included in the bundle. I printed the bunny at 2" so she would fit in the bottom corner. That is one of the things I love about digis....you can print them any size. If  you go to this BLOG POST you will see that I printed one of the bunnies large enough to fit an entire card. This time, I printed the bunny smaller. 

 

 
I used light pink R43 flowers for the large flower, and then added white cherry blossoms, pink roses, and two-tone pink/green leaves. To finish off the card, I added pearls to the opposite corners.

Remember, you have until May 8th to link up your project to our current ANYTHING GOES Challenge. Be sure to use a minimum of 3 I Am Roses products on your card to qualify for a prize. In case you didn't see the announcement, going forward there will be 5 random winners selected who will receive a $30 Gift Voucher. I can't wait to see what you make! 

 

Hugs,

Rosie
