The Greeting Farm: November Release Preview Day 1 - So Sweet Anya

 Hi TGF friends! 

I can't believe that we are doing the last The Greeting Farm release of the year!! What a year! so many wonderful releases! I've had so much fun this past year and worked with so many talented ladies. I also enjoyed so much seing all of the TGF friends' creations.   

Here we are with November's first day of previews. We have 3 amazing stamps sets this month!! We will have our Blog Hop on the 15th where 1 lucky person will take home the stamps sets we feature this week!

Introducing So Sweet Anya.  She is just adorable! 


The image was colored with Copic markers and cut with my Brother Scan & Cut. Card measures 5.5x5.5.  I layered some papers.  Die cut the scalloped circle and stenciled the background with Distress Ink Oxides (Tumbled Glass & Faded Jeans). I stamped the Love You sentiment  (from the Lettered set) and popped the Anya and the circle with foam adhesive.  I added some ribbon on the side and some enamel dots, and lastly added glitter on the strawberry. 

Come back tomorrow for day 2 of previews! 

Hugs!

Big Sentiment Dies with Little Images

Hello TGF friends! 

I'm on the TGF blog today sharing a couple of easy cards using some big sentiment dies and little images to accent these dies.    

We all have sentiments dies and they make creating a quick card so easy. I love to accent these with a small image, and it just elevates the card a little more, gives it a little more pizzaz.   The Greeting Farm has so many stamp sets with smaller images that are quick to color and make these card pop.   I have two samples today using the super cute Feels 3 stamp set.   I love all their little face expressions and are perfect to compliment certain sentiments.   

For my first card I used 2 images from the Feels 3 set, TGF Thank You word die and the So Much sentiment from Animal Pots set.  I used 2 different Fall patterned papers, from my stash, for the background. I added the sentiment in the middle as the central focus and the two little images on the sides, popped with foam adhesive. Stamped the small sentiment on a banner die cut from the same patterned paper.  

  




For the second card I used a bigger sentiment die and just one of the images.  I stenciled the background with Distress Oxide inks and die cut the sentiment in black cardstock and holographic cardstock. I layered them together with the black showing a little and i added foam adhesive to give it a little more dimension.  I added the image in the middle of the sentiment.   










I really love how these turned out.  
Thanks for stopping by! 
Hugs

Peace & Love

 Hello 

Today I'm at The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new card.  I'm loving getting a start on my holiday cards and TGF has some really adorable stamp sets.  I came across this older set in the shop and I had to order it!  Merry & Bright:  what an adorable set and I love all its Christmas sentiments.  I had to color these cute little deer.  



I created a one layer card.  All images and background were colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped and embossed in black.  I added the white snow with my Uni Posca white pen. I added Prisma glitter on the snow banks and trees. This little winter scene was framed with a scalloped die.  I popped both layers with foam adhesive to give it a little more dimension.  

Loved the way it turned out.  

Hugs
