Last day to pre-order at TGF...

 

Hey, hey!

Today is the last day to pre-order the Big Birthday kit at The Greeting Farm for the discounted price of $42. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50. There are five cute Anyas and two Ians included in this kit, as well as a bunch of party accessories and four sentiments.

My first card features this pretty Anya wearing her fancy new party dress. She feels so special on her big day as the confetti falls all around and the shiny balloons float overhead.

 

Finally, this cute Anya couldn't wait to dive into that delicious birthday cake so she has helped herself to a slice. Don't worry, she cut it from the back of the cake so no one else would notice. ;)

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

A lovely Spring Birthday...

Hello again!

It's a review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and I thought I would play with some of the cute critters from the Spring Woodland digi collection again. This time I printed out the raccoon from the Spring Woodland Squirrel, Cub and Raccoon set and the fox from the Spring Woodland Chipmunk, Fox and Skunk set. Rather than pair them with the Spring Woodland Background I opted for the Wildflower Meadow Background clear set. It creates quite the idyllic scene for these furry friends. The sentiment was put together using the Birthdays are the Best set turning this card into a sweet birthday message. 

Toodles!

Happy Birthday Taurus...

Hello!

I'm back with a new Scenic Saturday card to share over on the Bellariffic blog and I'm excited to be using stamps from the new Spring release that just hit the shelves yesterday. This quirky birthday card is centered around Oddball Zodiac Taurus and her symbolic bull.

Because of the size discrepancy between the girl and the bull I stamped the bull higher up on the card front. This placement forces the perspective making the bull look like he is standing further away within the scene. From there all I had to do was hand color in the grassy field that they are both standing in. Then by sketching in the tiny fence behind them both I was able to push the distance of the field back even further. If that wasn't enough, adding the trees beyond the fence in varying sizes expands the world of these Zodiac cuties one final layer. Whenever you are building a scene keep in mind that playing with the size of the elements helps add a whole lot of interest.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!

More birthday fun at The Farm!

 

Hello again!

There is still time to pre-order the Big Birthday kit at The Greeting Farm. You have through April 12th, to get the kit for the discounted price of $42. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50. There are five cute Anyas and two Ians included in this kit, as well as a bunch of party accessories and four sentiments.

My first card features the second Ian in the kit and he is holding a big birthday present. I added another big gift from the kit at his feet and the stars became decals for the wall. The big banner sentiment is decorating the wall again, this time in blue. 

 

Finally, this Fancy Anya is excitedly holding a gift while a balloon floats above her and the big chocolate cake that she is eyeing. She's a pretty party girl with the prettiest party to celebrate her big day. 

Ok, that's all for today. I will be back with the last two birthday cuties in a couple of days.  :)
