Coffee Break Anyone?

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

  Calling all the coffee and fall lovers with this card I created and sharing today on The Greeting Farm blog. I think I'm officially ready for some fall weather! It's been so HOT here in Cincinnatti! I've decorated for the Fall and can't wait for a little cooler weather.  



For this card I used the adorable Miss Anya Coffee Break and the sentiment is the Coffee Friend digi.  She sure is ready for fall in her cute little outfit and is handing some coffee! 



I printed the sentiment 1st and die cut the panel with a stitched border die.  I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers.   I stenciled the coffee splatters with some Distress Oxide ink and finished the card with some enamel dots on the corners.   




Very simple one layer card and loved how it turned out. 

Thanks fo stopping by! 

XOXO

The Greeting Farm August's Release Blog Hop

 

The AUGUST 2023 RELEASE is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new sets. Our first stamp set HEY TEACHER features our studious Anya and Ian ready to learn in the classroom. Next, we brought you MERMAID BDAY ANYA which combines two popular themes....birthdays and mermaids. Finally, to get you ready for Halloween we have a set called BOO featuring 13 adorable ghosts who are too cute to spook.

Today I created another spooky card using the adorable BOO set.  



I created the background by ink blending several Distress Oxide ink and I used a stencil for the moon.  I sprayed the background with water. 

I die cut the tree in black cardstock.  All the images were colored with Copic markers and die cut. I used foam adhesive to glue them to background.  The sentiment was heat embossed with glow in the dark embossing powder.

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.  

Make sure to check all the other DTs spooky creations.  


Come back tomorrow for our reelease day and a short blog hop for a chance to win this release! 

Hugs

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.

Happy Birthday To You

 Hello crafty friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new birthday card featuring Miss Anya Hobby!! 

I absolutely love this set which is perfect for girls birthdays cards!! 





I created the background with Distress Ink Oxides sprays and water. Once dried I applied Distress Grit paste on top of a stencil to create a cool background.  I die cut Happy Birthday to You into a sparkly paper and matted it with black.  It was glued to the background. 




Miss Anya was colored with Copic markers and die cut.  I added her to the background with foam adhesive to give it a little dimension.  

I finished the card by placing some enamel dots in the corner.  Pretty simple and quick to make! 




Thanks for stopping by!! 

Hugs
