The Greeting Farm April 2024 Stamp Feature Day 3: MISS ANYA STYLE

Happy Thursday friends! We are on our last day of Stamp Features for the April 2024 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 you still have time to participate in the Blog Hop for a chance at winning all 3 new sets!

Today's paper doll inspired set called MISS ANYA STYLE features a stunning Anya with long, gorgeous hair, and comes with various outfit changes! It's so much fun to give all of these dresses unique designs. I decided to cut the dresses from patterned paper. 

I used pattern paper to create the room scene. To give the card some dimension, I raised Miss Anya and the two front dresses on foam tape.

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!

Today's set is called MERMAID ANYA 2, and features a gorgeous Anya with her fish and sea horse friends. It comes with 3 sentiments, along with several accessory stamps to create the most mermazing under water scene! All of the images are stamped on Xpress It Blending Card and colored with Copic Markers. I fussy cut the images and then used B14 Copic Marker to color in the outside/inside edges so it looks like a seamless scene.

The background ocean was created with Distress Oxide Ink. I cut a separate strip for the ocean floor, stamped the rocks along the top edge, fussy cut around the rocks, and then used deckle edge scissors to create the top edge. The sea floor and mermaid are raised on foam tape.

Jaded Blossom April 2024 New Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday! It's time for the Jaded Blossom April 2024 Release! To celebrate, we are having a little hop to showcase the fabulous projects created by the Design Team. If you are here from Julee's Blog, then you are in the right place. If you are just passing through, please start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing! I have the complete line up at the bottom of this post.

I created a large garage scene so I could include a pink tool cabinet, girl gnome, and a pink/chrome motorcycle. This girl gnome has the most awesome garage ever! I used the Diamond Plate Stencil with Hero Arts white pigment ink for a subtle wall background. The tool cabinet was created using the Build A Booth Die with the new Gnome Dies: Tool Add Ons. To create the gnome, I used the Girl Gnome Dies with the Gnome Dies: Leg Add Ons, and then added accessories from the new Gnome Dies: Motorcycle Add Ons and Gnome Dies: Tool Add Ons (bangs under the headscarf). 

 

 

The wall hanging was created using the Square Internal Scallops Dies 1 with one of the sentiments from Bad To The Bone. I raised the top and bottom part of the tool cabinet on foam tape for extra dimension. The motorcycle is also raised on foam tape.

Here are some closeups!

This new release is full of lots of fun! Today, we are featuring TOOLS! This awesome gnome has the coolest tool cabinet in his garage full of all the essentials! I love that the new Gnome Dies: Tool Add Ons includes a shorter beard for the gnome (which I also used to add some hair under his hat), along with a body that has overalls. There are even arms included in this die set.

I used the Build A Booth Die and foam tape to create the tool cabinet (modeled after my husband's Craftsman cabinet). The sentiment is from the new Nailed It Stamp Set + Outline Dies. The gnome and sentiment are also raised on foam tape.

Today, I used the Tulips Stamp Set (part of the Monthly Spotlight) with the Aloha Word Die. I stamped the tulips and leaves on some pattern paper and then fussy cut out the tulips and leaves. I cut the word Aloha from the same pattern paper.

I used foam tape behind the tulips to give them extra dimension. To raise the word Aloha, I cut several from chipboard and glued them on top of each other.

Jaded Blossom: Sometimes You Just Need To Say, CLUCK IT!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. I've been having a rough few weeks dealing with some family issues, and my creative mojo also went out the door. I was struggling to get out of my funk, and came across the Rise and Shine Stamp Set + Outline Dies. This sentiment made me giggle so I knew I just had to make a card using it. It kind of sums up my month, LOL!

I love this adorable chicken and used Copic Markers to color her up. The cute paper is from Echo Park Made From Scratch 6x6 Paper Pad. I noticed that some of the chickens on the paper had their mouths open, so I wrote it in Cluck It! next to them. 

Remember, you have until April 6th to play along in the current Jaded Blossom Anything Goes Challenge 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. There are instructions HERE to help you!

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!

Jaded Blossom: Life Is Better Off Road!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. We had an awesome New Mini Release yesterday featuring the Car Dies: Off Road Vehicle, The Road Less Traveled Stamp Set + Outline Dies, and the Tire Tracks Stencil. For yesterday's release, I made a pink Barbie jeep. Today, I went with a masculine card and created a blacked out jeep with chrome license plate.

I love the versatility of Jaded Blossom products and that you can go girlie or more masculine. They are AWESOME! I can't wait to see what you do with this new Off Road Vehicle Die. The jeep and sentiment are raised on foam tape for extra dimension.
