TGF Farm Fresh Friday: Thanks, Teacher!

1 Comment
Happy Friday, Friends of the Farm! I hope you’ve enjoyed all of our sneak peeks of TGF’s July release! Don’t forget about our New Release Blog Hop on Monday, July 1st!
Thank you all for the sweet comments you left for me and the other DT members as we previewed the Film Strip and Polaroid die set!
Today’s Farm Fresh Friday is all about thanking teachers!
Unfortunately, I don’t have kids, so I don’t make school-related projects. I think my gift card holder is kind of all-purpose, though…I just styled it with a school theme with the notebook designer paper and the blackboard strip across the middle.
I chose to feature Fancy Anya on my gift card holder because I picked her up recently and wanted to color her up! I made the gift card holder by folding a piece of designer paper in thirds, making sure it wrapped around the gift card, but leaving enough room to insert and remove the card easily. 
To keep it in place, I punched a set of two small holes under the notch that I cut at the top (using a small Spellbinders circle, but you could definitely use a circle punch). I looped some twine around the card and tied a bow, threading the twine through the punched holes. Once the bow is untied, you can pull the card out with the twine!
Here’s the info you’ll need to participate in this challenge:
  • You must use a TGF stamp (rubber, digi, or clear) as your main image.
  • Entries must be uploaded via InLinkz (at the bottom of this challenge’s post at the TGF blog) no later than Thursday, July 4th 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, please link your submission URL in the comment section at the bottom of the post.)
  • 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 wonderful weekend!
Hugs,

TGF July Release Preview!

HELLO Friends of the Farm! It’s our third and final day of sneak peek previews for the July release at The Greeting Farm! Today, we’re previewing the Polaroid die set. This set also comes with a film strip die and a larger heart die.

I was inspired by a retro Hollywood theme when I was creating my previews for this release, so for my first card, I’m pairing “Tuesday Premiere” with the Polaroid die and film strip. I also colored her in cool shades of grey to match the black & white papers:

And I couldn’t resist doing another card with the retro-fresh loveliness of “Cheeky Glamour“!
So, what do you think? Would you like to win this die set? Great! You’ll find the full list of the design team members participating in today’s preview at The Greeting Farm’s blog!
Stop by each designer’s blog to check out their preview creations, leave a sweet comment for each one (and stop by the TGF blog to leave a comment there and let us know you’ve visited all the blogs, and we’ll pick a random winner from all the comments!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure to also join us on July 1 for our new release blog hop, when the new release stamps and die set will be available in the TGF Store!

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!

Hugs,
