Rain on your parade...

Hello, hello! 

It's May 1st and that means today is all about a brand new Farm Fresh Challenge at The Greeting Farm! As you know, a new challenge is issued at the beginning of every month over on the TGF blog and this time around it is...  'Swing Into Spring'. This theme is loaded with possibilities, inspiration can come from spring time color schemes, spring activities or even the unpredictable spring weather. All you have to do is ink up a character from the TGF store that best encapsulates your interpretation of the theme and you could win a $50 gift certificate!

For my card I inked up the sassy Creeper Riley because her hoodie looked like it would make for the perfect rain slicker. I guess that makes it pretty obvious that I pulled inspiration for my card from our spring weather. It's a safe bet that we will get our share of passing rain showers this time of year and I love how Riley's attitude kinda says, "Wet hair? Don't care." Nothing is bringing this girl down and I think that makes for a perfect stay positive kind of card. :) 

Alrighty friends, have fun with this one. I can't wait to see what you create!

cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It

Dreams do come true...

Hi there! 

For my card today I pulled out the Ever After stamp kit to create a super cute scene. There are so many adorable little Beans in this set, all dressed up like characters from a fairy tale, it was hard to pick just two to color up. When I finally settled on this couple I ended up going with an Ariel and Prince Eric look for them. And I can't even tell you how much I love the castle that is included in the set as well. I stamped it in grey tones and kept my Copic colors less intense to try and make it look like it was further in the background. 
There is good news too if you missed out on ordering this set the first time it was available... May 1st-5th pre-orders will go up in the TGF store for not only the new Aloha stamp kit but also many of the past kits which includes Ever After! So mark your calendars if you've had some of these on your stampy wish list, I know I will be hitting the store first thing!  ;)

Have a great weekend everybody!

Celebrating...

Good morning!

Today I've made a card for this week's Bellarific Friday Challenge which is Birthday Wishes. Tiny Townies Birthday Party was the perfect stamp and I was excited to have the perfect reason to finally get them on a card. I stamped these party girls on some vintage cream cardstock using a dark brown ink then proceeded to color them up in some bright, happy colors. Then I masked off the balloons and stamped on these cool streamers to make the scene extra festive. A sprinkling of matching sequins and this birthday card was fun and done.  :)

Alrighty, it's off to work for me. Have a good one!

You always shine...

Hi there! 

Ok, so I swear this is my last unicorn/pegasus card that I'll be posting this week. But I really wanted to get both the pegasus from the Magical Friends set and the Your Wings pegasus on a card together. These cuties can take to the skies and soar as far as their imaginations can take them. I also couldn't resist adding another winged friend from the old Never Ever set... a tiny version of the Tink Fairy! I created the watercolor background myself by 'smooshing' on four different Distress Ink colors. I was going for an abstract sunrise kind of look and I think I pulled it off. ;)
This card is up over on The Greeting Farm blog today too as part of the CardMaker Magazine blog hop that is going on. So be sure to check that out and get in on the fun!

Laters!

Show your wings...

Hello, hello! 

It's time to take to the skies with the super cute new pegasus set called Your Wings. I love it so much that when it came time to make my card I used every single stamp in the set, plus an extra from Glitter Bomb, to create this scene. Everything just works so perfectly together that how could I not? I was masking off stamps like crazy to give the illusion of layers on a primarily one layer card. Though I couldn't resist throwing on that stitched sun die and a few sequins to really help pull everything together. Another bright and happy card with these happy new magical ponies... so much fun!

Toodles!  :)

Hello my friend...

Good morning! 

OMGosh, can you believe how quickly these new unicorn sets sold out yesterday? Talk about flying off the shelves! Luckily a restock is due to hit the store sometime tomorrow so don't despair if you missed out yesterday. For my card today I used the Hello Unicorn set and I think she looks to be the happiest cutie of the bunch. I paired her up with some scribble star stamps and a bright neon ombre ink pad. It was a lot of fun trying to match her hair to those neon hues. And really that is what this card is all about... stamps, Copics and ink. I kinda can't believe I skipped the pretty papers once again! Still, I love how this card turned out paper or no.  :)

Hope your week is off to a great start. Laters! 
Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It

Hope your day is magical...

Hello, hello!

We've got a very special release day that fans of the Magical Friends set are going to go crazy for! Today we are introducing three new 3"x4" clear sets, each one featuring either a sweet unicorn or lovely pegasus. For my card I chose to ink up not only the fabulous little unicorn from the Magical Day set but I also used the included sentiment and little hearts and small hexagons stamps as well. After that, the first thing I pulled for my card was this pretty ombre stripe washi tape and all of my Copic colors and my treatment of her beautiful main and tail were directly inspired by it. I can't even tell you how much fun I had putting this card together!  :)

Now be sure to check out the TGF blog to see what my fellow Farmers have created with these magical new stamps!

Hi sweetie...

TGIF!

I've had quite the busy week and it hasn't left me with a whole lot of crafty time. So when I did finally find myself sitting at my desk I needed something quick and cute o work with. Wouldn't you know that the new For You Anya clear stamp fit that bill to a 'T'. I really can't get over her little belly shirt... I kinda want to poke her like the Pillsbury Dough Boy, LOL! It's been so unseasonably hot here that I have been craving ice cream treats all week so I really couldn't resist giving Anya the fudge-cicle that I wish I had. If it was possible to be jealous of a stamp I think that I am.  ;)

Anywho... another sweet and simple card in the bank. Now I have to go tackle the coming weekend. Have a good one everybody!  :)

Leave a little sparkle...

Olo! 

So last month I saw a card on Pinterest using a pretty little mermaid stamp by Elisabeth Bell and I just had to get my hands on it. So I immediately tried to find out where to buy it only to discover that they were released a couple years ago by Sweet Pea Designs which has since gone out of business. Disheartened but not discouraged I continued my internet search hoping to get lucky. After a couple strike outs I stumbled upon a little stamp shop that is sadly closing its doors as well but in the meantime has big discounts on all their remaining inventory. It's called The Stamp Room and while the exact mermaid that started my hunt was already out of stock I did find a few others to get just as excited about. I also stumbled upon this baby fairy called Flit that just stole my heart. I paired her up with some random paper scraps that were on my desk and kinda make it look like she is running into a field of flowers. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink and I think it is pretty darn perfect with little Flit. This card was a lot of fun to make.
In the meantime... if anyone knows where I can find Tide, Oceanessa and/or Little Splash please, hook a girl up!  LOL! :)

Later gators!

The flowers in your garden...

Hi there!

It looks like I can't pull myself away from the pastel color scheme because here I am again and this time a lovely little Gorjuss Girl got the treatment. What can I say... when you find yourself surrounded by pretty blossoming trees and blossoms in your day to day, I guess you can't help but be inspired. When I sat down to color and create yesterday I knew I wanted to make something for the current Sugar Bowl challenge and since it has been ages since I got a Gorjuss Girl on a card I went straight to the GG binder. I ended up choosing Rainy Daze because I really liked her fun hat and outfit. I colored Rainy to match this great floral print 'cause the black background adds a nice contrast to all the light pastels and she really pops. The rest of the design is super simple but I think it works.  :)

Ok, thanks for stopping by today!

Your own kind of beautiful...

Hello, hello!

I was lucky enough to be the winner of the recent Some Odd Girl Facebook challenge and this adorable Mushroom Fairy was one of the digi stamps that I used my gift certificate on. I've had my eye on her for quite some time so I'm pretty excited to finally be getting her on a card. I thought that Mushroom Fairy would look really pretty colored up in some light pastels so I found the perfect piece of striped paper to pull all my Copic colors from. And I finally had an excuse to use these fun wood veneer mushrooms that I got in a kit years ago. It always feels good to use up something that has been sitting in your stash for that amount of time. :)

Ok then, time to get ready for work. Later gators!

Smile, it's a beautiful day...

Good morning!

I'm on the run again this morning so all I've got is a speedy post to share. This sweet digital stamp is Erin from Mo's Digital pencil and while I know she is supposed to be a St. Patrick's Day image I figured that she could easily work for a more generic spring time card. So I colored the clover red and now they just look like little blossoms that Erin is sprinkling on the ground. I paired her up with a fun mix of papers from all different companies and I think the end result makes for a cute little card. :)

Ok I really got to go now. Talk at'cha later!

Thinking of you...

Hello!

It's release day over at The Greeting Farm and not only are two Super Secret Stamp Club cuties getting a permanent spot in the store but we've also got two brand spankin' new clear Anyas to introduce as well. How exciting is that?! I've colored up Cutesy Anya for my card today because with all that fabulous hair piled high on her head she was just too much fun to color.  I paired this little doll with a funky sheet of paper from the Simple Stories Summer Vibes paper pad. She just has that summer look to me... I think it must be her fun sneakers. As a special celebration of this clear release we are hosting a give away over on the TGF blog. There is a Cutesy Anya and a For You Anya up for grabs (so there will be two lucky winners) just by leaving a comment on today's TGF blog post. You have until Sunday, 12pm CST to leave a comment and the winners will be announced next week. So enjoy the previews and good luck! :)

Feel better soon...

Olo! 

I've got a super quick post today as I'm already running behind. Yesterday I made another CAS get well card and this one features the awesome Dr Anya digi from TGF. I know I was channeling McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy when I was coloring all these Dr digis and I think this gal looks a bit like Dr Kepner, LOL! What can I say... I must have been in a very Grey's inspired mood. I paired Dr Anya with a scripty sentiment from Avery Elle and I like that it kinda looks like it could be her handwriting, though much more legible than most doctor's signatures that I've seen.   ;)

Alrighty, gotta scoot my boot... TTYL!

Hello, beautiful...

Hey there! 

I've had Sweetie here stamped up and sitting on my desk for longer than I would like to admit. Which is a shame because she is truly adorable and deserved to get on a card. So I grabbed my markers and did something to fix that oversight. Something about Sweetie seems so soft and romantic and I decided to just go with that and cover her in pretty peachy pinks. Next, I tried my hand at another scenic background and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I did play with a couple dies to dress things up a bit and save myself the time and effort of coloring in my own clouds, LOL! All in all, I'm so glad I made the time to color Sweetie up just for fun and my own enjoyment. :)

Toodles!

Wishes come true...

Hello, hello! 

I made this card a couple weeks ago for a good friend's birthday and I just now realized that I hadn't shared it here yet. Shame on me, I know! So this sweet digi was a freebie from A Day For Daisies some time ago and I think she is called Dandelion Fairy, though I can't find her in the ADFD store. I'm such a sucker for fairies with dandelions, I can still remember being a kid and blowing the seeds off a dandelion just like this, hoping that my wish of the moment would magically come true. Unfortunately I never did get my own pair of fairy wings but I have a feeling that this lovely little fairy will be getting everything her heart desires. I printed her out nice and big so that she would be the star of the show and I kept the design very clean and simple. A quick addition of a sentiment, a sprinkling of sequins and this card was was done. :)

Later gators!

Worth it...

Good morning! 

This past Thursday I was watching Project Runway All Stars and their challenge was to create an Ath-leisure look. This was new to me but basically it's high end active wear that can be worn outside the gym. So imagine my delight when immediately afterwords I got the mail and this awesome Anya was my April stamp from the TGF Super Secret Stamp Club. She is called Relax Anya but I think I'm going to be calling her Ath-leisure Anya, LOL! Seriously, she looks like a stylin' runner in her leggings and artfully layered tank and t-shirt. I wanted to make her top shirt special with a cool print so I grabbed a couple of the small accessory stamps from the Glitter Bomb set, masked off her arms and neck, then stamped them on in some bright neon ink. I dotted on some sparkle with a Stardust glitter pen for extra pizazz to complete the look. The motivational sentiment is also from the Glitter Bomb set and I really like how it plays off Relax Anya's strong, self assured pose. 
Yep, this month's SSSC stamp is getting two big thumbs up from me, love her.  :)

Alrighty then, have a good one everybody!

A cup of good wishes...

TGIF!

I'm getting this card into the current Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge just under the wire. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new fairies that were released last month and once they arrived in my mailbox I just had to get one on a card. So when I saw that the challenge was to make a CAS card this was the perfect time to ink up Tea Cup Fairy. Since I knew the overall design was going to be on the simple side I could really go to town with my coloring of the china tea cup without the card getting too busy. My goal was to mimic the look of Delft Blue china and I gotta say that I'm pretty darn happy with the results. To keep the card bright and happy I chose to accent all that blue with some sunny yellow hues and this little doll seems to be right at home in her cozy cup world.  :)

Have a great weekend everybody!

Hey there!

From the look of things everyone is in love with Loveable Anya and I am no exception. I mean seriously, between her curly pigtails and that fabulous hat what's not to love? For today's card I wanted to color her up in some pretty Spring pastel colors so I found this happy paper from KI Memories to color match my Copics to. Her hat kinda reminds me of bubble gum now which is appropriate since Anya is as sweet as can be, LOL! I also used the new Say Bday sentiment set from TGF to turn this into a cute birthday card. Unfortunately both Loveable Anya and Say Bday are currently sold out but I'm sure it won't be long before they are both back in stock.   :)

Later gators!

Olo!

I really didn't want to miss a chance to play along in the current Some Odd Girl Facebook challenge because it is "anything goes" and it doesn't get any easier than that. Sweet Mae here was a recent purchase that I had printed out and was sitting on my desk just waiting to get on a card. She's so pretty that I knew I needed to find some special paper to pair up with Mae. It had to be feminine and soft but with a bit of quirk and edge. Luckily I came across this cool collage type print from Sassafras and it was perfect. After that all I had to do was add a few flowers and the card was done and I love it.  :)

Alrighty, have a good one everybody!

A fairy happy birthday...

Hello, hello!

With the introduction of so many amazing new clear sets at The Greeting Farm I was inspired to go back into my stamp stash and pull out the very first TGF clear set that I ever got. I simply adore these three fairies from the Fairy Princess set, Chloe, Tink and Eva. Sure, I also have the original, larger rubber versions of these cuties too but there is something really special about these fairies when they are shrunk down... kinda like all the mini sets that were recently on pre-order. Which got me thinking about how awesome it would be if Marie came out with a new companion set of little fairies to go with these wee friends. Who else would love to see that happen? 
Well that's my crafty wish of the moment, thanks for stopping by and listening to me go on.  ;)

Toodles!
