Let It Snow with The Greeting Farm!

 Hi everyone and happy Tuesday! 

 I am back to share one last post as September's Guest Designer for The Greeting Farm!

A huge thank you to The Greeting Farm for having me! It has been an absolute privilege!

For my card today, I wanted to use one of the new stamps released this month, Holiday Anya 13.

Here is a look at what I created...

I think she is just the cutest...and her little companion?? Cutest penguin ever!!

I decided to go with more of a winter themed card and it was super easy to do, just by simply changing up the sentiment. I stamped my image from the Holiday Anya 13 onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers. I decided to do a little paper piecing, so I stamped her onto 2 pieces of patterned paper scraps so that I could give a little interest to her jacket, skirt and hair bow. 

Copic Colors Used:

Skin: E50, E51, E21, R20

Hair: YR20, E31, E33, E35

Headband/Boots/Jacket Fluff/Mitten: C00, C1, C2, BG57, BG49, RV34

Penguin: V12, V15, V17, C00, C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C6, R00, YR21

I cut her out using the Scan N Cut and set her aside while I worked on my card.

I created an A2 top folding card and covered the front with some light blue patterned paper and added a "snowy" hill. I cut a piece of striped patterned paper out using a scallop rectangle die and then created an opening in the middle. I stamped my sentiment using an older stamp set titled, Let It Snow* onto a piece of white cardstock and used the same dies to cut it out so that it would layer perfectly onto my striped panel. I popped up my striped panel with foam tape and added my Holiday Anya 13 with more foam tape to create a little dimension in my scene.

*While Let It Snow is currently not available at the moment, it can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site.

I completed my card with a few snowflake sequins and some white Nuvo drops!

I think they are both so adorable!

September Mini Release

Happy Thursday! 

It's time for our new mini Sept release over at Jaded Blossom! 

We have a few new items available! Check them out HERE

Here is what I made using the new items...

 

For my first project, I decided to go with a Thanksgiving/Thankful themed card.

I created an A2 top folding card using some Kraft Cardstock. I used the Rectangle Dies 2 to cut out another piece of Kraft Cardstock, layering that on top of my card base & stamping the sentiment from the Friendsgiving stamp set onto the bottom right corner with some brown ink. I used the Card Layer Dies 2 to cut out a sheet of plaid patterned paper to get my diagonal piece, layering a piece of white and brown cardstock onto it that I cut out using the Border Dies. I popped it up onto my card with some foam tape and added some leaves that I cut out using the Street Lamp Die: Fall Add Ons.

I finished my card with some doodling, enamel hearts, Nuvo drops and some gems.

For the inside of the card, I used the extra diagonal piece that the Card Layer Die 2 cut out and added a brown scallop that I cut out using the Border Dies. I stamped my greeting using the Sunflowers For Sale stamp set, added more doodling and some leaves from the Fall Embellishment Clusters.

For my second project, I couldn't resist making a fun Halloween themed card. 

For this card, I started by creating the background for my scene. I used the Stylized Rectangle Dies and cut out two pieces of cardstock, one purple and one green.  I used the Spring Dies to cut out my grassy edge and added that to my purple cardstock, layering a fence that I cut out using the Halloween Scenic Dies in between my grass pieces. I added my background to a white A2 top folding card and began building my adorable little witch! I created her using the Girl Gnome Dies and the Gnome Dies: Halloween Costume Add Ons 2 and placed her onto my card, letting her foot hang off of the scene just a bit. I cut some clouds using the Spring Dies 2 & Gnome Dies: Weather Add Ons and added those to my card. I created my street lamp by using the Street Lamp Die, Street Lamp Die: Valentine Add On and the Haunted Highway stamp set. I placed it onto my card, allowing the top to hang off of the scene a bit as well. I finished my card by adding some bats from the Halloween Embellishment Clusters.

Vampire Treat Boxes

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog! Yay!

I love making my kiddos and their families a fun little Halloween themed basket or box every year. 

Jaded Blossom has so many fun treat boxes, that not only does it make it simple to add a little handmade touch, it helps make my baskets extra cute!

This year I found some fun candy in the store and knew right away the perfect little box to make

 to put them in!

 

These little coffin boxes are so fun and perfect for Halloween!

I made two boxes, I just simply switched up the colors and the placement of my bats on each box. 

I started by using the Coffin Die and cutting it from some black cardstock. I used the layering die that comes with the Coffin Die to cut out my Orange and Green patterned papers that I added to the top. I cut out a tag from the Label Shape Dies 1 and popped it up with some foam tape. I stamped my greeting from the Halloween Signs onto some gray cardstock and used the Gnome Dies: Sign Add Ons to cut it out. I placed it onto my box and added a black twine bow to the top of the sign. I used the Halloween Dies to cut out some bats, added some Wink of Stella for a little shimmer and added them to the box as well. I added some matching pearls to each box and some doodling for some finishing touches.

Wasn't this candy perfect??

I added some paper shred and two of each candy to each box.

I think these are so fun!!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!

Pumpkin Spice Everything with The Greeting Farm!

 Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

 I am so excited to be back today with another Guest Designer post for you with The Greeting Farm!

For my second project, I decided to give a little love to the upcoming Fall season.

Unless you are like me and couldn't wait for the official start of Fall before dipping into the Pumpkin Spice treats hehe!

Brew It Anya was the perfect image for my card!

While Brew It Anya is currently not available at the moment, it can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site.

I stamped her onto a piece of white Hammermill cardstock using some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her in with my Copic markers. I stamped her once more onto a piece of patterned paper so that I could do a little paper piecing with her neck scarf.

Copic Colors Used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13, R20

Hair: E50, E53, E55, E57

Hair Clip/Shoes: E31, E33, E35

Cup: E31, E33, E35, YR21, YR24

Shirt: BG09, BG57

Bag/Skirt: E31, E33, E35, E37

After my image was colored, I cut her out using my Scan N Cut and set her aside while I worked on my card. I created an A2 cardbase from Kraft cardstock and adhered a piece of plaid patterned paper on top along with a strip of orange patterned paper. I printed out my sentiment using the Miss Anya Pumpkin Spice Digi onto a piece of Kraft cardstock, trimmed it down and added a small white scallop to the bottom edge before popping it up onto my card with foam tape. I added some fun doodling with a black pen to all my layers.

I added Brew It Anya to the card and added a little enamel heart to her cup.

I completed my card with a few die cut hearts and some white Nuvo drops.

Cute cute cute!!!

Jaded Blossom's September Release Blog Hop!

Hey Everyone!

Here is a look at what I made to share with you today:

 

I could not resist making a fun little treat box to give to my daughter, the biggest Potter fan that I know!

I created my box by using the Handled Gift Box Die (one of my favorites) and some white cardstock. I die cut some patterned papers to go onto the front and started building my adorable little wizard. 

I created him by using the Gnome Dies and the Gnome Dies: Wizards Add Ons. I thought it would be fun to try and make it feel like he was playing a certain magical outdoor game so I cut out the mustache from the Gnome Dies: Wizard Add Ons and turned it upside down so that it would resemble wings. He of course needed a broom so I cut one out of the Gnome Dies: Halloween Costume Add Ons 2 and placed it in his other hand. I stamped my sentiment from the Stay Magical stamp set, cut it out using the Stay Magical Outline Dies and popped it up with some foam tape next to him. I added some stars from the Star Dies and the Embellishment Clusters Die and finished my box with a fun double bow from the Bow Dies.

I added some small Velcro dots to the inside of the handle for easy opening and closing of the box.

Inside I placed some paper shred & small chocolate candies.
