The Greeting Farm April 2023 Stamp Feature Day 2: RAIN OR SHINE

 Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the April 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.

Today, I created a card featuring an adorable stamp set called RAIN OR SHINE. This set comes with two girls holding umbrellas along with all the elements to create an awesome spring scene. 

 
I used almost all of the stamps included in the set from the clouds with the rainbow, to the little puddles, ducks, paper boat, and little flowers. The background Sunburst Card Mat is from Jaded Blossom.

 
Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share you creations. We would love to see them! See you back here tomorrow for day 3 of Stamp Features!

The Greeting Farm April 2023 Stamp Feature Day 1: ALL WORK NO PLAY

 Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a great weekend! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the April 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!

Today, I created a slimline scene card featuring these playful puppies using this new stamp set called ALL WORK NO PLAY! I used digital paper from various paper packs to create the living room scene. All the images from the puppies to the torn paper to the stuffie, along with the sentiment came from the All Work No Play Stamp Set.

 

This scene just makes me smile! I had so much fun coloring up the puppies and accessory stamps. It's definitely a must-have for your stamp collection!

 Today, I created a 6x6 card using a brand new digital release from Conie Fong called Rosealea Mermaid. Isn't she gorgeous?! I had a lot of fun coloring her! 

 

 
To step it up a notch, I added gorgeous IAR flowers in two of the corners. The large flower is the R-43 style of flower. I almost always use this as my large flower. Next, I added white cherry blossoms, followed by dark teal flowers, and finishing with green flowers and leaves.

 

I kept with mostly greens and blues for this card. The background paper is from a Honey Bee 6x6 Paper Pad called Team Tie-Dye.

Here is a closeup of Rosealea Mermaid so you can see the detail.

This month we are focusing on Cinco de Mayo! Recently, we went on a trip to the Dominican Republic to attend a friend's wedding, and we all indulged in blended Pina Coladas. I had a craving so I bought this drink mix. How cute is this cactus from the new Let's Fiesta Stamp Set on the Wine Tag Die?!! I added the maracas from the Gnome Dies: Cinco de Mayo Add Ons to the cactus for more fun. The background was created using the FREEBIE Moroccan Stencil (see details on how to claim the freebie below). 

The cactus and sentiment are both from the Let's Fiesta Stamp Set. I added the sentiment to one of the banner dies in the Mini Tag Dies 2 Set.

 Happy Tuesday Friends! Today we are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom April 2023 Release. You can grab the "Gotta Have It Now Package" now for a discounted amount. If you wait until the release goes live the bundle price will go up.

This month we are focusing on Cinco de Mayo! Today, I created a 5x7 card using the Build A Booth: Taco Add Ons, and the new sentiment stamp set called Tacos For Sale. I created the table using the original Build A Booth Die. I cut off the top panel of the die-cut, and turned it upside down to create a table with legs.

I used patterned paper for the background to create a wall and wood floor. The colorful banner at the top of the card is part of the Build A Booth: Taco Add On. I think this card would also work great as invitations to your next Taco party! 

 

 
Here is a closeup of the taco table! The tacos are part of the Build A Booth Taco Add On. The cups with limes are from the Gnome Dies: Cinco de Mayo Add Ons.

The two sentiments are from the new Cinco de Gnomo Stamp Set. These sentiments are awesome and soooooo perfect for this card.

Jaded Blossom: HAPPY EASTER GNOMIE BAG TOPPER

 Happy Good Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. With Easter Sunday quickly approaching, I decided to put together an Easter goodie bag. These would make adorable party favors for your upcoming get-together! My mother-in-law gave me the cute twine carrot decorations, and I found the carrot chocolates and bunny marshmallows at the Dollar Tree.

 

Jaded Blossom recently re-stocked the 5x5 inch Clear Bags! These are the perfect fit for the XL Topper Die. I went old school and pulled out the adorable bunny gnome from the Happy Easter Gnomie Stamp Set. I know the gnome dies are popular right now, but I also LOVE the gnome stamps! I altered this gnome a bit, by coloring the large carrot stamp and placing it over his arm. Then I stamped the hand from the other gnome, fussy cut it out and placed it on the large carrot. Now this bunny gnome with the whiskers is also holding a carrot.

 

The sign is from the Cottontail Farms 3x4 Freebie Stamp (released a while back). I stamped extra carrots to add to the dirt. The sentiment on the dirt is from the Easter Tweetings Stamp Set. Did you see that the current monthly challenge is POLKA DOTS? I added white polka dots to the Gnome's hat. The dirt is also made up of polka dots using various brown Copic markers.

You have until May 6th to play along in the Jaded Blossom POLKA DOT Challenge for a chance at winning 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. 

Have a great weekend!

If you are in the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group, then I'm sure you have seen the amazing and adorable highland cows created by Pam Stofferahn using the Gnome Dies and various Add Ons. I love highland cows almost as much as I love gnomes, so I had to give her idea a go for this challenge card. And let me tell you.....I AM IN LOVE with these cows!!

Thank you Pam for this brilliant idea!!

 

 These are all the dies I used to create this polka-dot loaded card:

Gnome Dies (beard used as cow body/nose for the hooves)
Girl Gnome Dies (hair/face used for nose)
Gnome Dies: Birthday Add Ons (balloon used for head)
Gnome Dies: Valentine Add Ons (bow used for horns)
Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1 (ears)
Gnome Dies: Hanukkah Add Ons (candle flames as nostrils)
Mushroom Dies (grassy hills)
Farm Fence Dies and Cow Patties Stamp Set

 

 As you can see, the clouds have polka dots on them, the grassy knolls have white polka dots, and the cow has some polka dots too.
