Swimming By To Say Hello!

 

Hello Crafty Friends! 

It’s May, and you know what that means… MerMay is officially here! As a huge mermaid fan, this month always inspires me to pull out some of my favorite fin‑tastic sets from The Greeting Farm. Today I’m on the TGF Blog sharing a sweet underwater card featuring one of the adorable mermaids from the MERMAIDS GALORE set. (This stamp set is currently not in the store, but can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site- HERE) 

Card details: 

• For the background I used a swirl-dot embossing folder to create a bubbly ocean texture, then added some ink blending with Distress Ink Oxides.  
• I cut it with a stitched wavy border die and layered it over a coordinating patterned paper.
• The sentiemt was staped in black. 

• 
  
  
• 
  
• I stamped and colored  all the images with Copic markers. Die cut them and added them to the background with foam adhesive.. 
• To finish the card I added some coordinating enamel dots.   

Thanks so much for stopping by today — wishing you a magical and marvelous MerMay!

Hugs!

It's For You!

Hello crafty friends!

Today I’m over on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a sweet birthday/thinking‑of‑you card featuring one of the adorable Anyas from the Anya Reboot 2 set. I just love her cute little pose holding the cupcakes and that tiny butterfly in her hair — she feels so cheerful and ready to brighten someone’s day! (This stamp set is currently not in the store, but can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site- HERE) 

 For my card: 

• I created the background using a retro grid‑style die and cut it from a peach gradient paper for a fun pop of color.
• To make it stand out, I layered the panel over black glitter cardstock for bold contrast.
• Anya was stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out using my Scan & Cut.

• The sentiment “It’s For You!”, from the same set,  was stamped in black embossing powder and added on a banner for a clean, crisp look.
• Everything was adhered with foam tape for dimension, and I finished the card with a few coordinating enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Hugs!

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome back to The Greeting Farm final day of April’s previews!

For my card:

• All the frogs were colored with Copic merkers, and die cut with my Scan & Cut.  All images were added to the outdoor scene with foam adhesive. 
• The sentiment was added to the scene and for a final touch I added glitter to some of the flowers.
