Holiday Treats

 Hello Crafty Friends! 


Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a couple of Holiday creations. I can't believe we are starting the countdown to Christmas!  I can't believe how fast this year went by and how many wonderful releases we had! 

 I have a little round card that could be used as an ornament created with Holiday Anya 10. The other project is a gift card holder using one the cute little bear of Hugs in a Mug set.  


For the round card I stamped the images and cut in a circle shape and added a scalloped border.  Images were colored with Copic markers. I added glitter around the fur of her .  I finished with adding ribbon on the top of the card. You can use the ribbon to added to a Christmas tree and it will make a cute ornament.  






For the gift card holder, I used this cute mug die and I colored the little bear from Hugs in A Mug set and also colored some of the marsmallows.  I fussy cut the images.  This set was perfect for this die set and this makes the perfect little gift card holder for the holidays!  I will be making a few more of these :)

The Greeting Farm: October Preview Day 1: Anya in South Korea

 Hello TGF friends!! 

I can’t believe this is the last The Greeting Farm release of the year! Crazy!! It's been such a wonderful year full of adorable releases!!   I enjoy so much being part of this design team and it's always so exciting when I get the new stamps. 

This month we are introducing 3 new adorable clear stamp sets. Remember, we will have our Blog Hop on the 15th where 1 lucky person will take home the entire release!

First off we introduce Anya in S. Korea!! Anya is off again on her worldly adventures!



 This set has so many little accessories all depicting S. Korea culture.  My favorite accessory are the love locks!  If you don't know, Love locks are padlocks that are locked to a public fixture mainly bridges  to symbolize love. Mostly, the keys are thrown away or the locks can’t be unlocked, symbolizing an unbreakable bond. Having love locks dates back to a hundred years ago on World War I where a local woman fell in love with an officer, and they met at a bridge regularly. However, the officer fell in love with another woman and made the local girl die of heartbreak. From then, women from their town locked love locks on their bridge so that their love would be protected.

For this card I created mainly a one layer card.  All was colored with Copic markers. I free handed the bridge.   I colored the locks and fussy cut them so I could stageer them on the bridge.  


Come back tomorrow for Day 2 of our previews!

Hugs

Deepest Sympathy

 Hello crafty Friends 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a sympathy card.  




For this card I combined two stamps sets Animal Pots and Deepest Sympathy. For the background I ink blended Distress Oxide inks, water sprayed it and also sprayed distress mica spray to give it a little shimer. 



The sentiment was heat embossed in white. I love how it pops against the teal background.  The image was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I also added some prisma glitter in the petals.  I framed the background with a postage die.  




Thanks for checking it out!  

Hugs
