Hi, sweet Friends of the Farm!

Thanks so much for joining me today for the JUNE release at The Greeting Farm! You probably arrived here from the TGF blog, and I’m so glad you stopped by!

As you’ve seen over the past few days, we’re going “ga-ga” over this new installment of cuteness available NOW in the TGF Store!   We’re welcoming the new onesie die (and accessories), the revamped Anya and Ian stamp set, the new Winky Bean, and a new WS “Charlotte Chic”!  We’re keeping it sweet and sassy this month and can’t WAIT to see what you do with these new items!


I have two projects to share with you today…the first is a quick set of gift tags that I made with the recently re-released Baby Anya & Ian stamp set!


These came together pretty quick. I cut a standard card base in half, added a panel of patterned paper and stamped the sentiment on a coordinating strip of paper. Adding the colored image, punching a hole, then threading twine, and you’re done! 🙂

I’ll leave you now to continue our Blog Hop, where you’ll not only find inspiration and adorable project samples, but you’ll also be on your way to a chance to WIN the ENTIRE JUNE RELEASE!   One lucky winner who hops and comments on each DT members’ blog and then returns to the TGF BLOG to let us know they did, will win and you have ALL WEEKEND to hop since today’s a Saturday!

Just enter by Sunday, June 2nd at 11:30 pm and we’ll announce the winner along with our fabulous June Guest Designer Monday morning, June 3rd.  Your next stop on the hop is Rosie’s fabulous blog! Happy hopping, everyone!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

TGF June Release Preview: Charlotte Chic!

24 Comments
Happy Thursday, Friends of the Farm! It seems like forever since I’ve blogged, but what I have for you today is worth the wait!
We’ve been previewing the June release this week at The Greeting Farm, and it’s my turn to share some creations with you that I made with the newest Wild Sprout, “Charlotte Chic”!
She’s a new, updated rubber stamp based on the “Charlotte” digi that’s still available in The Greeting Farm Store…and she’s fashionably fabulous!
For my first card, I paired Charlotte Chic with some bright, fun papers. Making these cards gave me the opportunity to practice my skills for coloring curly hair and darker skin tones! I paper pieced her shirt with some coordinating paper and added a flower to her headband. The sentiment I used is from the “Anya Styles” set.
For my second card, I kept the theme of bright and bold colors and added some polka dots to her headband and shirt. The sentiment on this card is from the “Anya Celebrates” set.

So, what do you think? This fashionable and fierce Wild Sprout will make her runway debut June 1st, but, you can have the chance to win her just by commenting on the blogs of the DT members who are previewing “Charlotte Chic” today: Suzanne (you’re here),  Rachel, Annie Rose, and Jodi! 

You have until 11:30 PM CST tonight to comment on the blogs and stop by TGF’s blog to let us know that you visited and left comments on all of them!

And, don’t forget about our RELEASE DAY BLOG HOP on Saturday, June 1st starting at the TGF blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Your Next Stamp: May Release After Party!

1 Comment
Happy Friday! I hope you’ve enjoyed all of the fantabulous creations that the Your Next Stamp Design Team whipped up for this month’s release! We’re still celebrating with our May release “after party,” and I have a pair of cards to share with you today!
Don’t forget, all of the new stamps are available NOW in the YNS Store!
My first card features the second new Darling Diva to be released this month, “Oceana“!

I made the sand by first coloring the area with a combo of E33 and E34 Copics. Then I added a thin layer of Distress Stickles in Antique Linen. It makes great looking sand when it dries!

I made the button accent by die cutting a circle, stamping one of the sentiments from the set, threaded some matching twine through a large button and then glue dotting the stamped circle to the button.
Other supplies: patterned paper (American Crafts 6×6 mini pad), twine, adhesive rhinestones, assorted Copic markers, metal circle and scalloped circle dies, cardstock.

My second card features one of the two new fairy stamp sets! This is “Skye“!

YNS supplies: “Skye” image stamp, flower dies from “Spring Garden Die Set,” sentiment from “Blossom” stamp set. Other supplies: patterned paper (“Hey Girl” 6×6 pad – Basic Grey), circle and scalloped circle metal dies, Stickles, glitter brad, assorted Copic markers, circle hole punch, watermark ink, white embossing powder.

Don’t forget, there are still some special discounts available in the YNS Store until Sunday, May 26:

Stop by the YNS blog for the full list of designers sharing their after party creations with you today!

Hi, everyone! It’s time for a new Design Team season at Whimsy and Stars Studio, and today we’re celebrating Mabelle’s May release with a DT showcase and blog hop! You should have arrived from Melissa‘s blog, and now you’re visiting me (Suzanne)!
This month’s new digi stamp release is “Garden Joy,” and she’s perfect for celebrating springtime and Mother’s Day!
I always think of my Mom when I color images like these…she has always been a whiz when it comes to gardening. Unfortunately, I didn’t inherit her talent, because my thumb is brown instead of green…LOL
Here’s a peek at the digi stamp:
And here’s my card!
Be sure to leave comments for all of the blogs on today’s hop, because Mabelle will be selecting two random comments from all of the ones left on the hop for a prize, which is their choice of one digi stamp from the Whimsy and Stars Studio etsy store! Our hop runs until Wednesday, May 8 at 7PM Eastern Time, so make sure to leave all of your comments for us before then!
Since I’m the last stop on today’s hop, head over to the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog to let Mabelle know how much you enjoyed the hop, and to find out all the details on the Whimsy and Stars Studio DT Call!
And, don’t forget to visit the Whimsy and Stars Studio etsy store for more fabulous digi stamps that you’re sure to fall in love with!

It’s a fence-tastic Tuesday at TGF!

22 Comments
Hi, everybody! It’s our last day of May previews at The Greeting Farm, and today, I have some fence-tastic cards to show you…along with a preview of our new fence die!

I chose to do two cards…one with each new Anya and the fence die. It’s a great way to build a scene on your cards and projects!

Here’s my first card with “Anya Strolls”!
TGF supplies: “Anya Strolls” stamp set, TGF Fence Die. Other supplies: patterned paper (“Kneehighs” 6×6 pad – Basic Grey; yellow polka dot paper is a scrap from my stash), assorted Copic markers, ink (Memento Tuxedo Black, Espresso Truffle), butterfly accent (Pink Paislee).
I added the butterfly accent from my stash because I thought it would be good for the puppy to have something to look at, and to chase later!
For my second card, I chose “Garden Anya” and made space behind the fence die for a little pocket, which is also a great place to add a gift card!

I also used TGF’s cloud die and flower die to help accent the scene, and I used an embossing folder to make the woodgrain pattern in the fence. I just inserted the die cut into the folder and ran it through the machine!

TGF supplies: “Mini Cloud Die“, “Mini Fleur Stamps and Die“, “Garden Anya”. Other supplies: patterned paper (“Green at Heart” 6×6 mini pad – Basic Grey), assorted Copic markers, embossing folder (Sizzix/Tim Holtz), sewing machine, kraft cardstock, ink (“Melon Mambo” – Stampin’ Up, “Northern Pine” and “Tuxedo Black” Tsukineko Memento), gift card.

So, what do you think? All of our new dies and stamps will be available TOMORROW in the TGF Store! Be sure to join us for our DT blog hop tomorrow, where we’ll show you some more fun possibilities with our new release!
And, one lucky reader/commenter will win their very own fence die! Just comment here and on the TGF blog and we’ll draw a random winner!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
