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!

DON'T FROGET: The Greeting Farm April Preview Day 3

 Hello TGF Friends! 

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

Today we introduce the adorable  DON'T FROGET.  How cute are these little frogs hopping around.

 

For my card:

• I started by creating the outdoor scene using a landscape die.  Each element was ink blended with Distress Ink Oxides. 
• 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.  

Be sure to visit the rest of the Design Team blogs for even more amazing creations using this sweet new set! And don’t forget to stop by tomorrow for the full release and the unveiling of the brand new monthly TGF challenge.

Teen Boy Birthday Card

Hello friends!

I’m back on The Greeting Farm blog today sharing a fun teen boy birthday card featuring the awesome HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment set paired with Ian from the LIKE LIKE YOU 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) . I created this card for my nephew’s 14th birthday, and I just love how perfectly these two sets work together for any teenager’s celebration.

To create my card:

• I started with the background by stamping Happy Birthday in red ink.

• Then I used a splatter stencil to create a cool background.
• I die cut the background panel with a stitched border die.
• Ian was stamped, colored with Copic markers and die cut.
• It was added to the background with foam adhesive.
• I die cut his age to personalize the card. 
• Finished the card by adding enamel dots and adding the whole thing to a red cardstock.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Wishing you a wonderful day. 

Happy Easter

 Hello crafty friends!

I’m stopping by the TGF blog today with a bright and happy Easter card to share. I used the adorable HAPPY EASTER ANYA digital set to create this sweet little spring scene filled with colorful tulips and tiny chicks.

To put my card together, I arranged all the digital elements in a Word document until everything looked just right. I printed the scene on Copic-friendly paper and colored it with Copic markers.

 After that, I used a frayed stitched border die to cut the panel and layered it over a fun, pastel-patterned background. For a pop of extra color, I added a few matching enamel dots in the top corners.

Such a simple card to make—and so much fun too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Wishing you all a joyful and blessed Easter!
