Fairy Love

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

I hope you are all surviving this cold weather!  Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new Valentine's card.  I used the super cute Fairy Love set.  I just love these tiny little fairies!  

I started by cutting strips of cardstock into different colors and adding them to a white cardstock. I cut it with a wavy stitched border die. I also used a stitched heart die to create the heart.  I stamped the sentiment and the little fairy, bees and hearts.  I stamped the fairy in the envelope in a separate paper, fussy cut it, and added it to the panel with foam adhesive.  All images were colored with Copic markers.  I matted the panel with a heart patterned paper and finished the card by adding glitter to all the hearts and wings.  

Perfect for a little girl for Valentines! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

XOXO

Our first set called ANYA IN NEW YORK features our fabulous girl touring all the hot spots in the Big Apple. Next, we showcased the cutest critters reading to each other in a set called BOOK LOVER. Lastly, we introduced COFFEE COUPLE featuring Anya and Ian drinking their favorite brew.

For my blog card I'm using Ian from the adorable set Coffee Couple!  I kinda of mimic my card from yesterday preview, a gift card holder.  The background is a patterened paper die cut with a stitched border die.    I assemble the coffee cup die and added the sentiments.  The main image was colored with Copics, die cut and added with foam adhesive. I added glitter to the donuts.

BOOK LOVER : The Greeting Farm January Preview Day 2

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome back to our 2nd day of The Greeting Farm January’s previews! 

This month we are introducing 3 new AMAZING  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 adorable set BOOK LOVER! I absolutely love this set!! All these little animals reading their books! The sentiments are just perfect for any book worm.  We also have a special surprise with a DiGI release of STRUCK BY CUPID just in time for Valentine's!! 

I'm a big reader and for the past three years I keep a annual reading journal. When I saw this set I was so excited as it was so perfect to create the opening page for my 2025 reading journal.  

I created little circle scenes for each of the images. Added all to a main background with the cute book shelf.  I stenciled some clouds and added the sentiments and the little cute mouse from this set. All images were colored with Copic markers.   Love it! 

For the special surprise we also introduce STRUCK BY CUPID ! This digital stamp set is so adorable with the cute Cupid Bean!! And it is available today to download.   It was so much fun creating this little scene.  

All images were colored with Copic Markers. The scene was die cut with an arch die and used a valentine's patterned paper for the back panel.  I added glitter on all the wings and glossy accent on all the small hearts.

ANYA IN NEW YORK : The Greeting Farm January Preview Day 1

 Hello Crafty friends! 

Happy New Year!!  I'm so excited as we start our 1st day of 2025 TGF previews!  We have some incredible new stamps coming in the next few months!!

This month we are introducing 3 new AMAZING  clear stamp sets. Remember, we will have our Blog Hop on the 15th where 1 lucky person will take home the entire release!

For our 1st  day of January's preview we introduce the globe trotter ANYA IN NEW YORK!!  I used to live in the state of NY about 30 minutes from Manhattan.  I still love to visit and go to my favorite restaurants and I always try to catch a Broadway show.  I was just there this past September and saw Moulin Rouge which I highly recommend it! SO good! 

I started by creating the background city scene by stamping the buildings and the Statue of Liberty. I masked these and with Distress Ink Oxides I ink blended the sky and water.  I used a separate stamp for the sidewalk.  Anya and the apple were stamped separately and die cut.  All images were colored with Copic markers.  I added Anya and the apple with foam adhesive.  The whole scene was die cut with a stitched rectangle border die and matted with red cardstock.  

Head over to TGF blog to see all the beautiful creations from our DT members using this set!  Come back tomorrow for the second day of sneak peaks!

Take it Easy

  Hello TGF Friends! 

Happy New Year!! So happy to be creating for The Greeting Farm for another year!! I love this group so much! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and took some time to relax and enjoy all the festivities!  It's always a busy month for us but I always take some time to relax.  

To start off the year I created a card that perfectly sums up the end of the year for me. I used the cute Happy Place stamp set.  That is totally me trying to take it easy and enjoying some reading time after a crazy month. 

For my card I cut the main panel and stamped the images and colored all with Copic markers.  The little stack of books were stamped seperately, fussy cut and added to the table with foam adhesive for a litlle dimension.  I used a scalloped rectangle die to frame the main panel and added patterened paper for the back.  

I hope you all took a little time to relax before the new year begins! 

Happy New Year!!
