Happy Fall

 Happy Fall Y'all!! 

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!


Copics Used:

Mini Anya: Skin E04, E11, E00, E000 R20   HAir: E49, E47, E44, E42   Outfit: YG95, YG99, E07, E35, E29 YR04, YR18, E08.

STAMPtember 2023 The Greeting Farm Collaboraion: WARM THE HEART

Happy Saturday  crafty Friends!

 I have a special post today to showcase the collaboration set The Greeting Farm created for Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember® 2023! This adorable set called WARM THE HEART is available for purchase starting NOW in the Simon Says Stamp Store while supplies last! There are two options available for purchase: the stamp set with coordinating outline dies or just the stamp set by itself.




I created a one layer card, and colored a wintery scene for all these little cute characters to have some fun in the snow.  

I had the please to meet the owner of Simon Says Stamps, Heidi Crowl,  last month at a local stamping craft show.  It's always fun to visit their booth and create their make and takes! 



Hurry and grab Warm The Heart before it sells out. 

This limited edition set is exclusive to Simon Says Stamp, and will not be available for purchase at a later time. Once it's gone....it's gone!

Today I pulled one of my favorite stamp sets Pumpkin Spice Anya.  She is so perfect for fall cards!! The stamp set is sold out right now in the store but should be coming back soon. 



I created a 5 ¼ x 5 ¼  card focusing on the images on the center with a squared scalloped die.   All images are colored with Copic markers.   The bunny, fox and latte were fussy cut and add on with foam adhesive.
