The Greeting Farm June 2025 Stamp Feature Day 1: ANYA PAINTS

Happy Tuesday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the June 2025 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Joni and I are on The Greeting Farm Blog this week showcasing the new release.

Anya is here to brush your worries away with our first set this month called ANYA PAINTS. I love that this set is the back view of Anya and her pet kitten. It also comes with a paint stroke, heart, ladder, and a paint can. 

I raised the ladder, Anya, and kitten on foam tape for extra dimension. The wood paper is a digital file. I cut a white strip of paper and scored it twice to create the baseboard.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store to grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations. See you back here tomorrow for Day 2 of Stamp Features! 

Hugs,
Rosie

My son and his girlfriend celebrated their 1 year dating anniversary on Friday, June 13th. She surprised my son with a scrapbook album full of memories of their first year together. The best part is that she asked me for help and came over for two days to work on it. My son, in turn, decided to surprise her with this 12x12 Shadowbox Frame showcasing some of their fave photos together.  

 

For the flowers around the collage, I used R43 pale pink peonies. Her favorite color is pink and she absolutely LOVES flowers so I know she will treasure this keepsake.

This release is all about PETS! Today, we are showcasing Gnome Dies: Pet Add Ons. This set has a variety of pet animals so I decided to create a scene to incorporate multiple animals. I knew I wanted a cat peeking through a window so I also used: Gnome Friends: Cat Dies and Cat Faces Stamp Set. To create the window, I used the Stitched Arch Dies. For the wallpaper pattern, I used the Fishbone Stencil (FREEBIE offer).

The fishbowl with fish, turtle, and hamster are all part of the Pet Add Ons. The table is a clipart file I printed and cut out. The sentiment is from the Doodlebug Design Pretty Kitty 6x6 Paper Pad .

Happy Tuesday Friends! We are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom June 2025 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 release is all about PETS! We couldn't leave out our cat lovers, so today we are showcasing Gnome Friends: Cat Dies. There is even a new Cat Faces Stamp Set to add even more character to your cat. To create my white cat, I used a digital paper pack from Etsy called Seamless Black and White Fur. I layered some of the pieces with foam tape to give her some extra dimension.  

I used the new Paw Print Stencil to create the wallpaper. I wanted a light background so I used Archival Brilliance Platinum Planet for the paw prints and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink for the hearts. The wood floor is digital paper. To create the baseboard, I cut a strip of white paper and scored two lines. I used Square Internal Scallops Dies 1 with a quote panel from Doodlebug Design Pretty Kitty 6x6 Paper Pad to make the wall art.

Jaded Blossom June 2025 Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 1

Happy Monday Friends! We are on Day 1 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom June 2025 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 release is all about PETS! Today, we are starting off with Gnome Friends: Dog Dies. This set is so adorable and is sure to be a favorite! It comes with 3 different dog heads and two different tails so you can customize it to fit your special and loyal furry family member. There is even a new Dog Faces Stamp Set to add even more character to your dog.

To create my black furry dog, I used a digital paper pack from Etsy called Seamless Black and White Fur. I layered some of the pieces with foam tape to give him some extra dimension. For his nose, I added glossy accents so it would be shiny. His eyes are enamel dots from Doodlebug Design. 

To create the inked sky and grass layers within the circle frame, I cut a circle from scrap paper and placed that over my white card base. Then I cut scrap paper using the grass die from Mushroom Dies and the clouds from Border Dies 2. I rubbed Broken China and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink over the paper cut outs to make the inked background. To finish it off, I added the Circle Internal Scallops Dies 2 to frame the scene. The sentiment is from the new Life Is Tweet Stamp Set. There will be coordinating Life Is Tweet Outline Dies available for purchase also.

Jaded Blossom: TACO-THEMED PARTY FAVORS

Happy Friday everyone! This month at Jaded Blossom we are having a "Make A Background" Challenge. So in keeping with this month's theme, I'm showcasing 3 Ric Rac Toppers for these awesome Taco Shelf Tray Gummy Treats I found on Amazon. I used small stamps and dies to create my kawaii background paper for the toppers. Aren't they cute?!

To create the Taco Ric Rac Topper, I used Kawaii Candies 2 Stamp Set for the taco, and Tacos For Sale Stamp Set for the sentiment.

For the Pepper Ric Rac Topper, I used the tiny pepper dies in the Build A Booth: Taco Add Ons. I drew faces on each pepper to keep with the Kawaii theme. The sentiment is from Kawaii Sentiments Stamp Set.

The last Ric Rac Topper features the corn from Kawaii Candies 2 Stamp Set. I used two stamp sets to create the sentiment: Corny Halloween and So Many Birthdays 5. 

Remember, we have a current "MAKE A BACKGROUND" Challenge until July 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 to the Blog Post. There are instructions HERE to help you!

Have a great weekend!

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

I love using small stamps to create background paper for cards. One of my fave stamp sets with lots of small images is the Kawaii Candies 2 Stamp Set. These adorable food images along with the puns from Kawaii Sentiments 2 Stamp Set are perfect for making mini 4x4 cards. 

 

I was able to use one of the dies in the Mini Tag Dies 3 to cut out the butter sentiment. The other 2 sentiments were longer so I just used my paper trimmer. I raised all 3 sentiments on foam tape for extra dimension.

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