The Greeting Farm GDT - Rockstar Anya 2

Hi everyone! I am back today on The Greeting Farm blog today with my last Guest Designer card. It's been so much fun sharing my cards and I've loved every minute. A big thank you to the TGF family for having me join them.

Today's card features Rockstar Anya 2. I just had to have this one when I saw her.

Coloured with Copic markers:

Skin: E00, E11, E04 and R20

Hair: R32, R35, R37, R39

Shirt & hairband: B00, B02, B04, B05 

Skirt & Boots: N3, N5, N7

Guitar:Y13, Y15,Y17. 

I cut the image out in a stitched circle , matted it onto a red scalloped circle, and adhered it to the front of the card using 3D foam. 

The papers I used are from Echo Park and they are a mix of  collections. To embellish I used a selection of dies.  I cut the "Rock Star" sentiment from shiny black card. The stars came from the guitar and rock star die cuts. 

Thank you so much for dropping by again today!

The Greeting Farm GDT - Nom Nom Nom

Hi everyone! I am back on The Greeting Farm blog today with my second Guest Designer card and this one is quite a clean and simple card featuring the Nom Nom Nom stamp set. This set comprises 7 fun character stamps that you can mix and match with the accompanying sentiments.

I used 3 little girls holding cupcake, donut and ice cream (of course! lol).

Coloured with Copic markers:

Skin: E00, E11, E04 and R20

Hair: E71, E74, E77. E50, E53, E33. N3, N7

Pinks: RV55, RV63, RV66. 

Yellows:Y13, Y15,Y17. 

Blues: BG02, BG53, BG57 

White gel pen on the yellow dress

The papers I used are from Doodlebug Designs Cream and Sugar collection. They are just perfect for this stamp set. I cut a white piece of card using a pierced rectangle die, then I used a hills border to divide it. I placed the top and bottom pieces over the designer paper so that the 'sweet as sugar' text could be seen. I fussy cut each of the girls and adhered the 2 outer ones flat on the white card. I adhered the middle girl using 3D foam dots. 

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom piece of white card using Archival black ink. 

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will be back with my final GDT card real soon. 

Thank you so much for dropping by !

The Greeting Farm GDT - Brew it Anya.

Hi all! I am so excited to be on The Greeting Farm blog today as Guest Designer for the month of May and I am sharing a card featuring Brew it Anya. As a coffee lover, this adorable stamp called out to be coloured up.

I coloured her up with Copic markers

Skin: E00, E11, E04 and R20

Hair: E71, E74, E77

Coffee Cup: YR02, YR07, YR09

Boots and Scarf: BG02, BG53, BG57

Shirt and Hair Grip: RV55, RV63, RV66. White gel pen on the shirt

Purse: Y21 Y23, Y26

My papers are a mix of random sheets left over from 6x6" paper packs. To embellish the card I used a selection of coffee themed dies, a stitched oval die and a pennant die. I also made a stitched circle tag for the sentiment and threaded some natural twine through the hole. Once I had all the background elements stuck down I fussy cut the image and popped her on the front of  card using 3D foam dots.

Well that's it from me for today. 

Thank you so much for dropping by and I will be back soon wth another GDT card.

The Greeting Farm November Release Previews - Frou Frou Sweet

Good morning!! It's Day Two of the new release previews from The Greeting Farm and today we are showcasing Frou Frou Sweet. 

My first project is a card.

The card base is  5.5" squared and I've layered up some blue, pink and white cardstock along with super sweet papers. I coloured my image up with copic markers and matted her onto pink card which I then adhered with 3D foam tape. To add the pearls I've used a PinFlair pearl wand and the beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

My next project is an altered gift bag. 

I've layered up some white cardstock with Prima papers and distressed the edges with Brushed Cordoroy distress ink. I coloured up my image with copic markers and then cut her out with a scissors, leaving a little white border all around. I adhered her with 3D foam dots and then added some Prima & Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers. To finish off I added an organza bow and a button flossed with twine. 

Check out what the other ladies have created, over on The Greeting Farm blog. And don't forget, for your chance to win this awesome stamp, leave a comment on each of the DT blogs as you go!!

The Greeting Farm Farm Fresh Friday - Back to School

Good morning!!! TGIF!! This week The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday is 

BACK TO SCHOOL!!

My little ones go back on August 29th. This is the first time I ever remember them going back in August and it's hard to wrap my head around. I am looking forward to having a little time for myself but I am sure gonna miss the lazy days of no routine, no homework, no uniforms & no school runs! However, it's been a long summer and they are keen to see their school friends again. 

I made a circle card featuring Cheeky Lessons - I just adore this cutie.

I stamped my image onto Make it Colour blending card and coloured her up with copic markers. I used both Classic and Scalloped Nestabilities to cut out the card base and front. To embellish I added a little bit of lace, layered up with red ribbon and added a star charm tied with twine and some pearls. 

Here's how to play: 

*You must use a TGF stamp (rubber, digi, or clear) as your main image.

*Entries must be uploaded via InLinkz no later than Thursday, August 29th at NOON CST.

*You can add a direct link to your entry from your personal blog, SCS gallery, Flickr or TGF galleria. (If the InLinkz tool is missing, feel free to link your submission URL in the comment section!)

*The fabulous prize: A random participant will be selected to win their choice of an in-stock SINGLE RUBBER STAMP or a 4x6 set!

Quixotic Paperie - Baby Anya & Ian

Hi!! Today I have a couple of little cards to share which feature the super cute Baby Anya & Ian stamp set and the TGF Baby Onsie Die. 

I stamped my images out onto Make it Colour Blending card and coloured them up with copic markers. I trimmed them out and adhered them with 3D foam dots. I used Prima Hello Pastel papers on both cards. To make the onsies I first cut it out with carstock and then I cut it out with the Prima papers and layered them up. Then I layered on the accessories (lapel, bow, etc) 

To embellish I used some white white, pink and dark blue pearls, a punched butterfly and a button flossed with twine. 

Other Supplies - 

Pink/Blue Cardstock - Papermill Direct

Hi!! Can you believe it's almost July?! Seriously, it's only 6 months to Christmas... LOL!! 

Anywhooooooo.. today we kick off The Greeting Farm's July Release previews with Tuesday Premiere and the Film Strip Die. Sadly, Mr Postie let me down and I didn't get my dies on time so today I am previewing Tuesday Premiere only... 

I have created 2 projects and first up is one of my favourite things to make - a Popcorn/Candy Box. The free template for this is available HERE. So easy to  make and the kids LOVE it!!!
