Stamping Bella: SUMMER SUN DIGITAL STAMP RELEASE!

Happy Friday friends! Stamping Bella has a new SUMMER SUN Digital Stamp Release that is available NOW for purchase! There are 21 sets total! If you LOVE all things Stamping Bella, then you are in luck because there is a BUNDLE DEAL for a limited time that includes ALL the sets at 15% off!! This bundle is available from today, June 26th until July 5th (midnight EDT). After that, the sets will be available on an individual basis as usual.

  

There are also two special offers: 

Customers spending over $50 USD on the website (on anything) between June 26th until July 5th (midnight EDT) will receive the Suntan Chick digital stamp set for FREE. This freebie will be emailed to customers manually.

Customers who purchase the FULL digital release bundle will receive Suntan Chick AND the Just Beachy Digital Sentiment Set for FREE. Both freebies will be automatically included in the download for the full bundle.

 

Today, I have two cards to share! My first card features Beachabella. This gorgeous girl is all ready for a relaxing day at the beach. I used a digital junk journal page from Etsy for the background scene, and overlayed the sentiment from Beachabella onto the scene before I printed it. Two things that I love about digi stamps and papers: Instant gratification once you've completed the purchase, and the ability to print them as many times as you want and at any size you need. 

 

My next card features Edna and the Manatee. Aren't they so adorable?! I love the sweet hug they are sharing. The background is a digital scene I got off Creative Fabrica with a sentiment from Edna and the Manatee overlayed on top.  

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store and grab all your faves. Their rubber stamps and digital stamps are truly AMAZING! And don't forget about the deals mentioned above.

Hugs,

Rosie

Stamping Bella: SQUIDGY MERMAID

Happy Sunday friends! I'm ending the month of May with a magical card for Stamping Bella featuring the Squidgy Mermaid Digital Stamp Set. I LOVE Stamping Bella images, and I'm so happy they are offering digital stamps!! I printed this adorable girl and the sentiment on Copic Xpress It Blending Card. After coloring her with Copic markers, I used Distress Ink to add the water around the image and Memento Ink for the sand.

 

To add to the whimsy, I attached Doodlebug Design Puffy Icon Stickers. I think the little fish are soooooo cute! 

 

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store to grab your faves. They carry both rubber stamps and digital stamps. You're going to love them so much!

 

Hugs,

Rosie

I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Little Mermaid

Happy Saturday friends! Today, I'm showcasing a card for I Am Roses featuring this gorgeous digital stamp from Conie Fong called Little Mermaid. It's part of a digital stamp bundle that includes 2 mermaids: Rosealea Mermaid and Little Mermaid. I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored her with Copic Markers.

I used some mermaid paper from my stash. To finish off the card, I added gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. I love that IAR has so many available colors to match any color scheme. The large flowers are R43 pale pink with pink center peonies, followed by mint green cherry blossoms, S10m purple small achillea cottage flowers, S10m-(4C) soft pink-hot pink center small achillea cottage flowers, and tiny green roses leaves.

I added some shimmer to the mermaid so she's extra sparkly.

Remember, you have until JUNE 8th to link up your project on the IAR Blog. Be sure to use a minimum of 3 I Am Roses products on your card to qualify for a prize. I can't wait to see what you make!

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom: Wishing You A Splashy & Sassy Birthday!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with a different take on a mermaid card for MerMay using Jaded Blossom Dies and Stamps. What is MerMay? It's a month long challenge to share mermaid-themed creations. For my card I made a Purrmaid (cat mermaid). Isn't she fun and adorable?!

To create my Purrmaid, I used the body of the standing moose in Gnome Friends: Moose Dies. The cat's head and arms are from Snowman Pet Dies. Her seashell top and mermaid tail, along with the sea bottom accessories are from the Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons. The adorable cat face was made using Snowman Pets Faces Stamp Set. To complete the card, I added a sentiment from Mermaid To Be Friends Stamp Set. 

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

We currently have an ANYTHING GOES Challenge in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until June 6th. We hope you play along for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store!

 

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store to grab all your favorite products! They also have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.

The Greeting Farm May 2026 Stamp Feature Day 2: MERMAID ANYA 3

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on Day 2 of Stamp Features for the May 2026 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 Blog this week showcasing the new release. 

Today's card is in honor of Mer-may! Dive into an ocean of creativity with MERMAID ANYA 3 featuring sweet Anya transformed into a stunning mermaid surrounded by whimsical underwater details such as playful fish, a pearl-filled clam shell, and starfish. It also comes with 2 heartfelt sentiments.

I inked up a circle with a Jaded Blossom stencil and Distress Oxide Ink to create the background scene. After coloring the images, I cut them out using scissors and adhered them to the card using foam tape for extra dimension. The black Internal Scallop Circle Frame is from Jaded Blossom. 

The mermaid and clam are extra sparkly after using a Wink Of Stella Glitter Pen over parts of the image.

Instead of a blog hop every month, we are having challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store. The challenges start on the 15th of each month and run until the 14th of the next month so you have several weeks to work on your project. 

The challenge for MAY is: MER-MAY (use any TGF Mermaid image on your card). To enter, upload your card to the Challenge Album in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group (challenge rules will be shown under the Album). 

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! 

Hugs,
Rosie

The month of May is MERMAY so I'm starting off the month with a mermaid card, of course! What is MerMay? It's a month long challenge to share mermaid-themed creations. My card features the Mermaid Silhouette Stencil. I taped off parts of the stencil at the top so it showed only the full mermaids, and used various blue Distress Oxide Inks to create the mermaid scene. To create the sunset, I cut a small circle from masking tape and added yellow, pink, and purple Distress Oxide Inks around the circle.

 

I cut the scene out using Card Mat Dies to get the stitched border. The sentiment is from Mermaid To Be Friends Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

I LOVE the mermaids from Sweet November Stamps. I colored up a bunch of them a couple of years ago for a challenge, and still have several left to use on projects. I settled on this cutie called The Guppies: Gilly, and decided to create a birthday card. 

 

 

After coloring her with Copic markers, I fussy cut her out, and placed her on top of a circle piece of pattern paper with foam tape. I framed the circle using Circle Internal Scallops Die 2 from Jaded Blossom. The sentiment is Jaded Blossom's Mermaid To Be Friends Stamp Set. I then added small round glass cabochons. 

  

For the flowers, I used R43 baby blue peonies, dark navy blue roses, S10m-royal/c small pale blue with blue center flowers, S10m baby blue small achillea cottage flowers, and tiny green roses leaves.  

 

Here's a close up of Gilly. I added star dust stickles to her tail and her top for extra sparkle.

Jaded Blossom: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN ENCHANTING CREATURE

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back with a card using a couple of stencils from Jaded Blossom. Their products really make creating cute and fun cards easy! Did you see they are having a STENCIL SALE? 

Enjoy 30% off Stencils from February 2nd until March 2nd. Discount already applied!
(*2025 new stencil releases not included*)

Today, I made a birthday card combining two stencils: Mermaid Silhouette Stencil and Seaweed Stencil. First, I inked up the mermaids using Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I added Broken China over the top to fill in around the mermaids. I have a bunch of different glitter texture paste just collecting dust so I decided to pull out a green one for the seaweed. I LOVE the sparkle against the deep blue mermaid background!

The sentiment is from the Make A Splash Gnomie Stamp Set. I used the coordinating Outline Dies to cut it out and then inked the edges with some Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. 

Remember, we have a current "USE A STENCIL" Challenge until March 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!

Gold Gel Pen/ White Gel Pen

Jaded Blossom May 2024 New Release BLOG HOP!

Happy Thursday friends! It's time for the Jaded Blossom May 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 found some awesome mermaid tail lollipops on Amazon and used the Lollipop Die to create these stand-up holders. I cut each holder from white cardstock. Then I folded along the lines and inked up the front with Broken China and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. Next, I splattered water over the top. I cut the bottom of the lollipop die from sand digital paper and used Deckle-edge scissors to trim the top. I added the seaweed and mermaid from Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons. The faces on the mermaids came from Make Up Faces Stamp Set.

The mermaid tail lollipops come in 3 beautiful colors so I colored each mermaid to match the lollipop inside. All 3 sentiments are from Make A Splash Gnomie Stamp Set.
