Anya & Ian - The Greeting Farm

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!  IT is now a mad dash for the busy Christmas season!  

This past week I received the new Anya & Ian big set and couldn't wait to color these cuties!! The set is amazing! All the images are so adorable!  I hope you were able to pre-order this kit!  If any left from the presale it will be added to the shop.  Keep an eye out for it at TGF store.  

I created two cards with the same design, one with Anya and the other with Ian. Just changed the colors and sentiments.  

I stamped the images into Copic XpressIt cardstock and masked them. I stenciled the background with a circle stencil using different colors of Distress Oxide Inks.  The images were colored with Copic markers and the sentiments we stamped with coordinating colors.   I kept it simple and love how they turned out!! 

I can't believe this is my last post of the year!!  I wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season and hope to be back next year with lots of inspiration! 

Hugs

Happy Winter - New Digital set

 Hello!

The Greeting Farm is releasing a new digital set perfect for the holidays and for those fun winter days.  Introducing Happy Winter.  

This set has several fun images , Ian and Anya playing with the snow,  a beatiful house, car full of snow, pine trees, deer and a cute snowman.  It is so much fun to create a super cute winter scene.  

I created this scene on a word document and played with the sizing and position of the images until it was how I wanted.   All was colored with Copic markers and I matted the card with black cardstock.  I added some glitter stickles on the snow in the trees, on the roof and around the kids.  

So much fun!  I don't know about you but I'm not ready for winter! :)

Let's Spook!

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

I can’t believe next week is Halloween!! This month has gone by so fast!! 

Today I’m on the TGF blog sharing a Halloween pumpkin shaped card using one of the cute witches from the Hocus Pocus big set ( there are still some available at the store!) ! 

 I cut ovals out of orange cardstock and overlapped them to look like a pumpkin.  I free cut the eyes and mouth out of black cardstock and the stem out of brown. I die cut the leaves and scarecrow with some dies I have.  I added some glitter on the edges of the pumpkin.  All images were colored with Copic markers and die cut with my Scan & Cut. I added some glitter on the stars of her hat.  

 I added the witch, cat and skull to the pumpkin with some foam adhesive.   I stamped the little spiders directly on the pumpkin as well as the sentiment, which is from the BOO set (currently not available).  I really like how it turned out! 

Poor little witch, if she only knew what is lurking behind her :)   

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Hey You! Happy Birthday

 Hello Crafty friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a male birthday card! I have two girls so I never had a lot of opportunities to make male cards!  I love creating these!! 

For this card I combined four different stamp sets.  Ian is from Like Like You set, the little dog and sentiment if from Bow Wow Wow set, Hey you sentiment is from Cute Script set and Happy Birthday sentiment is from Miss Anya Birthday set.  

For the background I started by ink blending with Distress Ink Oxide sprays and water. Once dried I used a brick wall stencil and applied a distress Crackle paste and let it dry.  Love the crackled effect on the brick!!  I cut the panel with a stitched border and matted it with a patterned paper.  

All the images were colored with Copic markers, fussy cut and added to the background with foam adhesive.  

The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped in black and die cut with a banner die, also added with foam adhesive.  The Hey You sentiment was directly stamped to the background in black ink. 

 

To finish I added some enamel dots with matching colors.  

Thansk for stopping by!! 

XOXO

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new fall card.  I love this time of the year! The weather is just perfect and I love the new smells in the air!  

For my card I combined some images from two sets:  Mini-Remix Fall and Foxy Fall.  Absolutely love these two sets!! 

I started by ink blending the background with fall colors with Distress Ink Oxides.  I sprayed with some water and also splashed a brown Distress Ink and white too to created speckles to background.  

I colored all the images with Copic markers and die cut them.  I also die cut the sentiment twice in black and yellow and transposed the pieces for a cool shadow effect.  

All was added to the background, the images with foam adhesive to give it some dimension.  The Woohoo sentiment was stamped in black directly to the background.  I added a few Doodle Bug fall stickers to finish the card.  

I hope you enjoy this beautiful season! See you soon!

BOO : The Greeting Farm August Preview Day 3

 Hi TGF friends, 

Welcome back to our final day of The Greeting Farm August's previews!  

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!

Today we introduce the super cute spooky set called BOO.  So many little cute ghosts! 

I created the back panel first by using Distress Oxide ink sprays. Once dry I applied Distress paste with a brick wall stencil.  Once dried I die cut the panel with a fun comic cover die.  I die cut several times in black as well for some dimension and slighlty over imposed the top one to slightly see the black ones. It creates a shadow.  All images were colored with Copic markers and sentiment was heat embossed with glow in the dark embossing powder.

Mermaid Bday Anya : The Greeting Farm August Preview Day 2

 Hi TGF friends, 

Welcome back to our 2nd day of The Greeting Farm August's previews!  

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!

Today we introduce the gorgeous Mermaid Bday Anya! How beautiful is she?  the set has lots of little accesories and 2 beautiful sentiments to make the perfect under the sea birthday card!! 

For my card I started by stamping all the images on cardstock and masked them all.  With Distress Ink Oxides inks I blended the ocean water and the bottom of the sea. I sprayed with water and spackled some ink as well.   All images were then colored with Copic markers.  I added some glass enamel drops for the bubbles and glitter on her jewels.  I used a pink sparkly glitter cardstock to mat the whole scene.

Make sure to check out all the others DT creations and come back on Monday for our las day of previews!  

CHeers!
