The Greeting Farm - November Previews Day 2

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of previews of The Greeting Farm November release!  Today I'm sharing the new Potted Plants stamp set!



All the plant images in this set are so much fun!  This set is perfect for any occasion because who doesn't love flowers and plants, right?  I stamped some of the images onto Neenah cardstock and colored them with my copics.  I diecut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the cardbase.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the set, diecut it, and matted it on cardstock.  Because these images are fairly small, this card came together in no time. 

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our third and final day of previews.  In the meantime, stop by The Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of the amazing team made with the Potted Plants stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by. 


Hugs, Anita

Aren't these little angels adorable? There are so many angels included in this set and they are the perfect size for cards, planners, and bible journaling too.  I colored the angels with copics diecut them with the coordinating dies.  I added some Glamour Dust to their wings and the little star the angel is holding.  I also added a few clear sequins.

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card that I posted over on The Greeting Farm Blog.
 

Have you started making your Christmas cards yet?  Christmas will be here before we know it so I've been trying to add a few to my stash.  These cute images are from the Oh, What Fun stamp set.  I love the sweet foxes in this set!  I diecut a rectangle from kraft cardstock and spattered some white acrylic paint to mimic falling snow, and then used a white colored pencil to color in the snowy ground.  I colored the fox, hat, tree, heart, pot, and ornaments with copics and then diecut them using the Oh, What Fun Die Cuts.  I adhered the images with foam tape for dimension and then added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the heart and ornaments.

Copics Used:
Fox - E09, E15, E13, E11, and W3, W2, W1, W0
Green - G46, G43, G40
Red - R59, R37, R05

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

Your Next Stamp - Fun Friday Challenge #101

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the new Fun Friday Challenge over on the Your Next Stamp Blog.



The theme of this Fun Friday Challenge is to make an interactive or fancy fold card.  I used the adorable Snow Much Joy stamp set to make a slider card.  I colored all the fun critters with copics and then diecut them using the Snow Much Joy Die Set.  I cut a snowy slope from white cardstock and then used the Slider/Spinner Die - Large to cut the sliding channel in my cardstock.  I used foam tape to adhere the snowy slope to a base that I created by applying distress inks.  I used a black glaze pen on the animals eyes and then added a few gumdrops to give my card some sparkle. 




If you want to play along in the challenge you'll need to share your interactive of fancy fold project by linking your entry on the Your Next Stamp Blog by Midnight EST on November 15th!  One random winter will be selected to win a YNS Store gift certificate!  Be sure to stop by their blog to check out all the amazing work by the DT!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Anita

Your Next Stamp Guest Designer

Good morning!  I'm excited to share that I will be a guest designer for Your Next Stamp for the next couple of months!     


These adorable images are from the Sprinkles - Sew Cute stamp set.  This has always been one of my favorite stamp sets from Your Next Stamp.  I used the Stitched Scallop Rectangle Die Set to cut 2 scalloped rectangles from cardstock.  I stamped multiple images on the larger rectangle and colored them with copics.  I colored the little bunny with copics and diecut her with Sprinkles - Sew Cute Die Set.  I adhered her to the smaller scalloped rectangle and added it to my card front.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita
