Jaded Blossom: HAVE A SSSSUPER BIRTHDAY!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with a card featuring some awesome Jaded Blossom Dies. I love that Jaded Blossom has been introducing die-cut animals in their product line. This set called Gnome Dies: Pet Add Ons comes with so many different pets. I've been itching to create something with the snakes, so here you go! 

I know you're worried about that turtle, but on this card they are all friends! I used the Tree Swing Die for the branch. The grassy area was created using Border Dies 2. The sentiment is from the Life Is Tweet Stamp Set.


There are still a couple more days to take advantage of the huge SALE happening right now!!  You have until July 20th to stock up on all the items from your Jaded Blossom wishlist!! 

Remember, we have a current "ANYTHING GOES" Challenge until August 2nd for a chance to win 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!

Have a great weekend!

Conie Fong: SUNFLOWER PUMPKIN GNOME

Happy Thursday friends! July is quickly approaching and for a lot of crafters that means Christmas in July. Since it's still June, I thought I'd do a Thanksgiving in June post. My card today features this adorable guy from from Conie Fong called Sunflower Pumpkin Gnome. I just love him! I printed him on Xpress It Blending Card and colored him with Copics.

I used the Fall Leaves Stencil from Jaded Blossom to make the background. The top panel was gold embossed using stamps from Thankful For My Gnomie. The sentiment is also from Thankful For My Gnomie.  


I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a separate group to share your drawings from her

Today, we have gorgeous Anya all dressed up with a reminder that true beauty comes from within. GLOW UP ANYA also comes with a mirrored vanity, a cute cat, a bouquet of flowers, and 3 sentiments. 

I used Versamark Ink with the bouquet of flowers to create the wallpaper. It's hard to tell in the photo, but Anya's dress and white vanity top are glittery. I raised Anya and her pet cat on foam tape for extra dimension.

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 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.

Today, we have the sweetest bunnies hopping by with birthday wishes! Our next set called HUNNY BUNNY comes with 6 adorable, chubby bunnies and 4 sentiments.  I stamped the bunnies on textured cardstock and cut them out. I then stamped them again on white Copic paper so I could color up the things they were holding. I fussy cut out the balloon, cupcake, presents, flowers, and heart, and glued them to the bunny images. I added some liquid applique to their tails to make them fluffy. 


I used a Jaded Blossom die to cut the stitched grassy knolls. The brown paper was cut out using deckle border scissors. I stamped a row of carrots and fussy cut them out to go along the bottom of the card. 

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 3 of Stamp Features!

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.
