Listen to this...

Good morning! 

 

After a break last weekend for the big release I am back on the Bellariffic blog with another scenic Saturday card to share with you. This week I took advantage of the fact that the fun Cork Board backdrop is the stamp of the month for July and used it to show that not all scenes have to be vast landscapes going off into the distance. Sometimes close, intimate vignettes can be just as fun and effective in getting your message across. I thought it would be a cute pairing to use Call Me Teeny Tiny Townie in front of the Cork Board to create a sort of home office type snapshot, don't you just love that old rotary phone? I can still remember the wall mounted rotary phone that used to be in my mom's kitchen when we were growing up. I swear the cord on that phone could stretch half way across the house! Now once Call Me was stamped on the card stock I masked her off then repeatedly stamped and masked the little notes that come with the Cork Board because I figured if this Teeny Tiny Townie was anything like me she would have random notes all over the place, LOL! The board itself was the last image to be stamped so that once all the masks were removed it was pushed all the way to the back of the scene, framing everything beautifully.

Before I leave you, don't forget that the new release is in the store and you still have until the 15th to take advantage of the 15% OFF sale that is good on everything, not just the new stamps. Which makes the stamp of the month deal even sweeter, just use the code NR0719 when you check out.  :)

TGIF!
 
Are you ready for the fourth and final day of the Greeting Farm's July release previews? We are wrapping things up with a new clear set for all you planner peeps called, This Day. This Day includes all these great handwritten day of the week abbreviations as well as a bunch of extras and sentiments. Since I am not one who keeps a planner I used the abbreviations to create a colorful backdrop for this sweet gal from the new Miss Anya Samoyed set. By stamping the words in a variety of colors they give the card a bright and cheery vibe to go along with the positive message. :)

Ok, be sure to head on over to the TGF blog to see the fab cards that my fellow Farmers have created using the This Day set. And I will see you on Monday for the official blog hop and a chance for some lucky individual to win the entire July release!  :)

Hey there!

We are back with day three of the Greeting Farm's July release and today we are introducing the new mini Slumber set. This sweet mini set includes three little sleep over pals all bundled up in their sleeping bags and two coordinating sentiments. Of course I had to create a bird's eye view scene of these cuties camped out together on the living room floor surrounded by popcorn and their phones, because you just know they stayed up way too late watching funny Youtube videos. ;)

I ruff you...

Hello, hello!
 
It's day two of the Greeting Farm's July release and we are introducing another new Miss Anya set today... I just LOVE these bigger girls making a comeback! This set is called Miss Anya Samoyed and it includes two individual Miss Anyas and this sweet puppy lover with her Samoyed. I paired these two up with the Puppy Love paper and goodies from Doodlebug and pulled my Copic colors to match. The dog bed even came from the Doodlebug Odds and Ends die cut pack and I just used some blue Copics to add some dimension to it so it wouldn't look out of place and flat when compared with my colored characters.  Miss Anya Samoyed will be available for purchase on the 15th along with the other new stamp sets.

Now hop on over to the TGF blog to see all the gorgeous cards from my fellow Farmers using the new Miss Anya Samoyed set. Then I will see you tomorrow for day 3 of sneak peeks!  :)

An amazing day...

Hey there! 

I'm just sneaking in real quick with one last card for the Mama Elephant Top Card Contest before the deadline tomorrow. This card primarily centers around the super cute dolphins in the Marine Friends set but I also added element in from the Mermaid Kisses and Little Mermaid Agenda sets as well. I wanted to create a scene where a child is silhouetted against those cool underwater aquarium window looking out at all the magic and wonder that the oceans are teaming with. And guess who got her sea legs for this... one of the Mermaid Kisses mermaids, LOL! I only inked her from the waist up then when I was coloring her in as a silhouette I simply gave her some legs. Her seashell top became a hand on the glass window and I stamped the smaller sea turtle into her other hand so it looks like she is carrying her favorite plushy around with her. The sentiment was borrowed from the Picnic with Friends set and I think it does a great job bringing everything together. :)

Alrighty, now back to our regularly scheduled posting, LOL!

cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Catherine Pooler

Take a hike...

Hello friends!

Can you believe it is time to start previews for the July release at The Greeting Farm already?

Take a Hike features an adorable mini couple enjoying the great outdoors as they hike and canoe during their summer camping trip.

One sip at a time...

Good morning!

It's my day to post at 7 Kids and considering it has been a while since I've inked up a Picket Fence beauty I figured this was the perfect excuse to get one colored up and on a card. I debated between Beautiful Girl Kendyll and Beautiful Girl Kiki because they both look like summertime sweeties. Ultimately what gave Kendyll the edge was the drink she is sipping on as it gave me a very definitive direction to take the rest of the card. But don't feel bad for Kiki, I'm sure she will get on a card of her own before summer is out. With all those pretty flowers in her hair I imagine Kendyll as a runaway bride's maid who has skipped out on the reception for some relaxing time at the beach. And when she came across the little ice cream shop she decided to treat herself to a delicious milk shake. I don't know if her glasses where meant to be sunglasses but I colored them in that way and I think they look quite stylish. I stamped Kendyll in desert sand because I really wanted to give her blonde hair and I just always love how soft and dreamy no-line coloring is... I think it suits her. :)

Stay crafty my friends!
