Polka Dot Orchard: HAVE A PAW-SOME HALLOWEEN!

Happy Saturday everyone! Polka Dot Orchard has a NEW RELEASE so today I'm sharing a Halloween card featuring one of their newest digi sets called Paw-Some Halloween. I am LOVING the new sketchy designs, and this dog is so awesome!  

Copics:
Dog: E42, E43, E44
Pumpkin: YR04, YR07, YR09, YR27, Y13, G99, G94
Ground: C8, C5
Background: B95, B97, B99
White Gel Pen

I  printed the image and sentiment on Xpress It Blending Card for a one layer card. After coloring everything, I decided to add some die-cut spiders and drew in white eyes and web string. I also added white to the sentiment so it would pop more.

I'm excited to be sharing cards using Polka Dot Orchard images again. She has also expanded her line and the store now carries rubber stamps, stencils, digital paper, etc. If you do make some PDO cards, please come share your creations with us on the Friends of Polka Dot Orchard Facebook Page so we can Ooooh and Ahhhh over them!  

Hugs,
Rosie

The Greeting Farm August 2025 Stamp Feature Day 2: MADDOX THE DOG

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the August 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, my card features MADDOX THE DOG. Whether Maddox is balancing a stack of books, standing proudly with his friendly mouse companion, or off to mail a sweet letter, he's ready to bring some smiles to your cards. This set also comes with a cozy table with pens and paper, a cluster of flowers, a classic mailbox, and several sentiments.

I used the Diagonal Card Mat Die from Jaded Blossom to frame the different scenes. The green paw print paper is from Doodlebug Design. I cut apart two of the sentiments to make it say, "Enjoy Your Happy Mail. Also, I reversed the image of Maddox holding the stack of books so he would face to the left and fit better in the framed area.
 

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!

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: LOVE YOUR FUREVER

Happy Friday everyone! Valentine's Day is quickly approaching so I'll be posting lovey dovey cards over the next several weeks. Jaded Blossom products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! For my card today, I wanted to use the Love Stacked Word Die. I still had the Wild Valentine Stamp Set sitting on my desk from the new release and spotted the sentiment "Love You Furever" so I knew I wanted to add a furry animal. I went through my stash and decided to use the little puppy from Bicycle and Friends Die because I could make it look like he was hanging from the letter O.

I cut all the puppy pieces from Copic Xpress It Blending Card and use my Copic Markers to color up each piece. Then I glued him to the letter O. I added foam tape to the back of the letters to give it more dimension. I used the Card Mat Dies for the stitched white panel.

Remember, we have a current "ANYTHING GOES" Challenge until February 1st 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!

Have a great weekend!

Sweet November Stamps: Word Card Making Day FALL SCRAPPY!

Happy Sunday friends! Yesterday was World Card Making Day and to celebrate Sweet November Stamps is giving away this adorable FREE digital stamp called WCMD Fall Scrappy. Today is the last day to snatch him up! They are also doing additional freebies if you create something using Fall Scrappy and post in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group and on Instagram (see the details below). 

When I saw him, I knew I wanted to create a Polaroid card and zoom in on his happy expression as he gets ready to indulge in his pup cup. Isn't he the cutest?!!

I cut my white cardstock at 4.25 x 5.5 and then used a square die to cut out the center. I colored the image with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from Diamond Press Farmhouse Wreath Stamp and Die Kit.

If you create a card using WCMD Fall Scrappy, be sure to stop by the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group and share it to get a 2nd free digi called WCMD Halloween Scrappy. If you share to Instagram using #sweetnovemberstamps, you will get a 3rd free digi called WCMD Christmas Scrappy.

Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical Release: SNEAK PEEK DAY 2

Happy Tuesday Friends! Today, we are on Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom August 2024 Medical 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.

I had these cute Pochacco Band aids in my stash, so I created a band aid box holder using the new products with the Build A Booth: Treat Box Add Ons. On the Treat Box, I used the new Bandaid Stencil with Salvaged Patina, Speckled Egg, and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Inks.

Next up was trying to recreate Pochacco using JB Dies. I started off with the Gnome Friends: Bunny Die. To create his eyes and nose I used the eyes from the ghost in Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons. His ears were created using the coffee bean die from Gnome Dies: Coffee Add Ons. For the hair on his head, I used the tail of the pinata from Gnome Dies: Cinco de Mayo Add Ons. One of the hats from Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 3 was used for his shirt. His arms are from the new Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons. 

To complete the project, I added the new Photo Frame Die to the top of the treat box. The little heart for the "i" is from Gnome Dies: Medical Add Ons.

The Greeting Farm May 2024 Stamp Feature Day 1: BIRTHDAY DOGS

Happy Thursday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the May 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 to participate in the Blog Hop for a chance at winning all 3 new sets!

Today's set is called BIRTHDAY DOGS, and features the cutest puppies ready to paw-tay with love and licks! It comes with two different dog images, along with a couple accessory stamps, and 3 sentiments. I showcased the entire stamp set on this slimline card. I love how DT Elisabete cut the row of 4 dogs into 2 separate images to add alongside the dogs with the cake so I did the same. The puppy on the far right cracks me up! I added a bone to the dog's mouth next to him to justify the side stank eye, hahahaha!

The clouds were made using a stencil and Distress Oxide Ink. I cut pattern paper for grassy area. I raised the grass, presents, and puppy images on foam tape for extra dimension.

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 2 of Stamp Features!

The Greeting Farm April 2023 Stamp Feature Day 3: HELLO

Happy Thursday friends! We are on our last day 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's set is called HELLO and features the word "hello" in various fonts. It also comes with several add-on sentiments to create a phrase. I knew I wanted to use the dog inside the box from the stamp set All Work No Play and put it on an action wobble, but I was a little stumped on the card design. My friend, Renate, came to the rescue and suggested I try to create a scene of the dog throwing the letters out of the box. I took on her challenge and this is what I came up with...

 

Using pattern paper, I created a living room scene. I stamped the word HELLO on white cardstock using green ink and blue ink to coordinate with the floral paper and fussy cut each letter apart. I created an action strip using white cardstock and drawing black lines. I raised the action strip and the letter H on foam tape.

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!
