A Sweet and Sparkly Christmas Card

1 Comment

Hi, everybody! Now that I have a bit of a break from school, I can do a bit of crafting for fun! I made this card to send to one of my nieces:

100_6286wm

I used some papers from Bo Bunny’s “Candy Cane Lane” collection from a few years ago, and The Greeting Farm’s Holiday Anya 3. I combined stamps from Lawn Fawn’s Cheery Christmas and Toboggan Together sets to create the sentiment.

I’m entering my card into two challenges:

The Greeting Farm’s December Farm Fresh Challenge: Sparkle!

Freshly Made Sketches #267, because my card uses their sketch:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back tomorrow with a new card for Lawnscaping Challenges! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

I based my layout on the current Deconstructed Sketch (#130).

TGF FFF: All That Sparkles!

Happy Friday, everybody! It’s time for a new Farm Fresh Friday challenge at The Greeting Farm!
We’re celebrating all that sparkles and shines this week, so get out your rhinestones, glitter, sequins, or whatever sparkly stuff catches your eye, and join in the fun!
Here’s my card for today, featuring the super-sweet “Dollie w/Ice Cream” digi:

TGF FFF: Color Combo Challenge!

Hi, Friends of the Farm! For my friends in the United States, I hope you had a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday! We’re kicking off a new Farm Fresh Friday challenge today at The Greeting Farm, and Farmer Joni is challenging us to create with a color combo: silver, baby blue and white!
I chose “Holiday Anya” for my card today and added the hand warmer from “Holiday Anya 3” to my main image.
I puffed up some Liquid Applique on the fur trim of her dress and hand warmer with a heat tool. It’s also what I used to create the mistletoe berries in her hair. 
To work in the silver, I heat-set some silver ink with clear embossing powder on a strip of cardstock. 
So there you have it! For all the details on this challenge, and to link up your entry, visit The Greeting Farm’s blog!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

We are waiting until December rolls around to introduce all things merry and bright, and wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving full of gratitude and grace!

TGF Farm Fresh Friday: Wonderful Washi!

Hi, everybody! Are you ready for a new Farm Fresh Friday challenge? I know you’ll find this week’s challenge wishy-washi wonderful! That’s right…we’re inspired by washi tape (real or faux)!

My card features Amelia from the newly released “Oliver and Amelia Valentine” set:


I used woodgrain washi tape to make a border on the card and also covered a wooden heart accent with the same washi tape.

Here’s the scoop on playing along with this and all of our Farm Fresh Friday challenges:
  • You must use a TGF stamp (rubber, digi, or clear) as your main image.
  • Entries must be uploaded via InLinkz no later than Thursday, November 14th 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 4×6 set!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulously creative weekend!

Hugs,

Hi, everybody! I feel like the month of October just FLEW by! I can’t believe it’s time to start the November release previews at The Greeting Farm!

We’re kicking off our previews with a new mixed media set named “My Heart” and I’ve made two projects to share with you today. My first project is an altered 5×7 canvas:


There are lots of stamps in this set, so there are lots of possibilities for your creative projects! I made a chalkboard-styled display piece for my second project.


If you’d like to win this set, visit the blogs of the designers participating in today’s sneak peek (Annie Rose, Jodi, Rachel and ME)! Make sure to leave a comment on each blog. Then, visit the TGF blog to let us know you’ve visited all of the blogs and that you left a comment for each designer!

The winner will be announced on the TGF blog on the post for our final October preview, which will be on Wednesday the 30th. You have until 11:45 PM Central Time tonight to enter. This set and two more new stamp sets will be available in the TGF store on November 1!

Also, don’t forget that you still have time to enter our “Alter Ego” contest! Check out the TGF blog for all the details, and make sure you link up your entry before 11:45 PM on October 31! There’s a TGF Guest Designer spot up for grabs, so don’t miss out!
