3D Projects!

The Greeting Farm (Little Party Clear Stamp Set)

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Copic Xpress It Blending Cardstock

Copic Markers: skin-E000, E00, E11, BV23, R20 / hair-E55, E57, E59 / dress-Y00, Y04, Y13

I'm not going to lie, this was a BIT out of my comfort zone! I don't normally do 3D projects but with Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought I could muster up some courage with a cute little treat box. I seriously took the easy way though decorating these little treat boxes a friend gave me with pattern paper, some embellishments and of course one of the adorable little stamps from the newest Little Party Clear Stamp set! Yep, I totally did it and you can, too! I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge this month.

 Now be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to read the rules and link up your card.

Hugs!

The Greeting Farm January Release Blog Hop!

It’s the 15th, and that means RELEASE DAY for all 3 of the new JANUARY Stamp Sets: Little Party, Hi Anya, and Get Well. We have been previewing these fantastic stamps over the past few days, and NOW they are available in The Greeting Farm Store. To celebrate, we are having a BLOG HOP, where one lucky fan will take home all 3 stamp sets!!

I couldn't choose just one stamp to use for the blog hop today so I have TWO cards to share with you! This first card I used the new Get Well Soon set and colored this cute little doctor Anya with Copic markers. I fussy cut her and popped her up on my background. Then I stamped the cart directly onto the pattern paper to set my sentient on and added a bit of shading. 

I think it looks so cute and I love the little clipboard included in this set. Wouldn't this just be such a cute card to send someone feeling a bit under the weather?

For my second card, I used the brand new clear stamp Hi Anya except I created a Valentine with her just by using some themed pattern paper. I also colored her with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment as well as the flower stamp on Dina Wakley Plain Media Tape to create my own printed washi tape and added that behind her. Such a cute and fun detail to do with your sentiments and the fun add on images in the stamp sets.

In this close up you can see all the clear wink of stella I aded on her clothes, flower and shoes. I just love how she sparkles!

Now it's time to finish the rest of the blog hop today. Be sure to leave a comment on each designer’s blog, and then head back to The Greeting Farm Blog to let us know you completed the hop. You have until Friday, January 20th at 12pm CST to leave your comments. We will announce the random winner later in the week!

Here we are, our last day of January previews for The Greeting Farm and today we're showcasing a brand new clear set called Get Well Soon. This set is absolutely adorable for making all of your get well cards as well as cards thanking our caregivers. I absolutely adore that we get 2 Anyas and 2 Ians!

I colored up my little nurse with Copic markers today and kept my card clean and simple. Can I say how much I will be happy when I have access to my Big Shot and dies?! I feel like I'm crafting in the dark ages over here. haha She looks so cute holding that little box of tissues ready to take care of you. I added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella just to give it a little pop. Some of my favorite dies are the ones that add that faux stitching so I went ahead and did some faux stitching of my own on my card. Not as pretty as the dies, but I like the way it turned out.

I have two girls that love stamping and coloring with me so today I'm so excited to have my oldest joining me on the blog today. She began by creating her background with watercolors and then colored her image with Copic markers. I'm in love with her background and that drop shadow! Seriously, amazed. I would love it if you would also leave her some love today that I can share with her.

Don’t forget, we will have a New Release Blog Hop on the 15th, where 1 lucky winner will receive... all 3 sets! For more inspiration with this cute set, be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of my teamies on the farm created.

The Greeting Farm January Release Preview - Hi Anya!

Whoohoo! Welcome to Day TWO of our January Previews which will be available for purchase at The Greeting Farm Store on Sunday, January 15. Today, I get to feature an all new Anya set - Hi Anya. This is a clear stamp set and I love that these new clear Anya's come with cute little coordinating stamps and a sentiment. For my card today, I decided to pull out some watercolor pencils and do a little watercoloring. This set also has a matching die set available to purchase separately.

I thought her flower was so cute, after I watercolored it, I added clear Wink of Stella and then some Ranger Glossy Accents on top. I also added a bit of clear Wink of Stella over the sentiment. I am crafting with VERY limited access to supplies during our renovation. It's TOUGH so I'm adding little accents when I can since one of my most used tools for card making (My Big Shot) is still packed away! haha

It's all in the details as you can see here, I added more Wink of Stella around the edges of the my card base this time in Black since I was using black card stock. I love that it has warm, gold undertones and it adds a bit of contrast.

I'm super excited to have a VERY special guest joining me today on my blog. If there are bigger TGF fans than me, it would be my kids. Today, my daughter joined me in making a card using this new release and I hope you'll leave her some comments that I can share with her today! She did this all by herself just creating away while I was creating mine. She chose to use Copic Markers and paired it up with some pretty pattern papers that believe it or not are from two completely different collections! I could learn a thing or two from her. She rocks but I'm a bit biased. ;)

Don’t forget, we will have a New Release Blog Hop on the 15th, where 1 lucky winner will receive... all 3 sets! For more inspiration with this cute set, be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of my teamies on the farm created.

The Greeting Farm January Release Preview - Little Party!

**As a design team member for The Greeting Farm, I receive product to use in my posts as compensation. This post contains affiliate links when possible at no cost to you. Clicking on these links helps me continue to bring you great content and I thank you for your support!**

Whoohoo, it's JANUARY release time at The Greeting Farm and we're kicking it off with this a preview of this adorable new set called Little Party! This is one of the mini sets and comes with these 4 adorable little girls all set to celebrate any occasion. I'm still crafting minimally (due to our renovation and move a couple months ago) so I kept my design clean and simple today. I pulled out my Copics and colored each girl then fussy cut them out so I could faux mask them to my card. ;) The GREAT new is, if you don't particularly like fussy cutting, there is a matching die set available sold separately. 

Now here is a close up of my faux masking. I stamped the table and cake directly on the card base. Then I used Ranger Multi Matte Medium to adhere the two girls in the background. I also added a bit of a drop shadow  under them. Then I used foam adhesive to pop up my girls in the front. I also added a bit of shading under them. Seriously, how simple is that?!

For the banner, I started by stamping it directly on my card base and then I stamped it on a variety of pattern papers and YES, I did fussy cut each one. LOL I swear, it was therapeutic! Added some shading and adhered them using Ranger Multi Matte Medium as well. I also added some Ranger Glossy Accents on top just to give them a little pop. I did the same on the cherries on the cake. I'm so happy with how this card turned out and so excited about this month's release. You won't want to miss day 2 tomorrow! Don’t forget, we will have a New Release Blog Hop on the 15th, where 1 lucky winner will receive... all 3 sets! For more inspiration with this cute set, be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of my teamies on the farm created.
