Happy Bee Day!!

 Hello crafty friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a birthday card created with the adorable What's Buzzin'? stamp set.  It is such a cute spring birthday card! 

I started by ink blending the backgraound with Distress Ink Oxides yellows, I also used some sprays and finished it my speckling it with black ink.    I stmped the little honeycombs from the set with a darker yellow.  All the little nbees were colored with Copic markers and die cut.   I added foam adhesive to give them dimension.   

The sentiment was heat embossed with white ink onto black cardstock and used a banner die to cut it.  

I finished it with some glossy enamel dots and kept the card simple.  

Thanks for stopping by!!

 Hello! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new card.  I'm so excited that it is finally spring!! It is still cold here in Cincinnati but I'm so looking foward to be outside more.  I created this card inspired by spring and the nice walks outside and getting caught in the spring rains!   

I started by creating the background with an outdoor background stamp from my stash.  For the images I used one of adorabe Anyas from the new mystery ANYA COMBO 2 set (limited edition, you can always resquest this set back in the TGF Farmers Market).  The little dog is from the BOW WOW Wow set and the bird from YOU'RE SO TWEET set.    I colored all the images and background with Copic markers and images were fussy cut. 

I added them to the background with foam adhesive to give them some dimension. 

 

The sentiment is from the Anya Combo 2 set and was stamped with black ink.  

I just hope the warm weather comes quickly! 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Easter Anya: The Greeting Farm

 Hello peeps!! 

I'm so excited to introduce The Greeting Farm new digi stamp Happy Easter Anya!!  Just in time for Easter cards!! It is available right away at the TGF store for your download.  

She is so adorable with her bunny hat and all her little peeps!!    There are 3 images and the sentiment on this digi set.  You can create some cute scenes!  

I've used all the images.  I duplicated the flowers and arranged them behind Anya.  Also I added 4 chicks and flipped a couple of them.  All images were colored with Copic markers.  AT the end I added a few enamels dots to finish the card.  I really enjoy working with digital images as you can create so much and really play with the sixes and positions of the images.

The Greeting Farm: March Preview Day 2: What's Buzzin'?

  Welcome back to our 2nd day of The Greeting Farm March 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 such a sweet buzzin stamp set called What's Buzzin'?  It is such an adorable bee stamp set.  They are all such cute little busy bees.    The extra little stamps are just the best to create cute little scenes.  

I started creating the background by wetting the heavystock cardstock with water and then spraying different Distress Ink Oxide sprays. I dried it and repeated the process until I was satisfied with the mix of colors.  I stamped the little honeycombs with Distress Oxide ink.  Heat embossed the flowers in gold.  All images were colored with Copic markers and die cut.   I used foam adhesive to give them dimension.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink.   They are just too cute!! 

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for our final day of previews!

 Hello!! Welcome to Day One of  The Greeting Farm March release 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!

First off we introduce Explore Anya FB.  I love how you can face her both ways and created a totally different scene.  This set has great little accesories and I love the little squirrel.  

I created the background scene with a landscape cover die.  I ink blended the grass and used a cloud stencil for the sky, completed with some ink drops.  All with Distress Ink Oxides.  All images were colored with Copic markers and die cut.  All were adhered with foam adhesive to give it dimension.  

Come back tomorrow for day two!! Hugs
