So today I am sharing the companion card to the Love Couple Ian Valentine that I posted on Friday. This time I paired Anya with some digi background builders from a few various sets to create a candle lit dinner for two. I don't know, she looks pretty hopeful that he may just pop the question tonight over that tiramisu. LOL  ;)

This is a short hop and definitely worth playing along for a chance to win but if you want to grab your faves now, you can purchase the new stamps HERE. 

Toodles!

Only you...

 

Hello, hello!

Here we are at the fourth and final day of sneak peeks for the November stamp release at The Greeting Farm. Don't forget that this is the last release of 2020 as TGF takes December off for the holidays. The final clear set that we are introducing is called Love Couple and it features a stylish Anya and Ian as well as some hearts and three lovey dovey sentiments that make them perfect for Valentine's Day cards. I decided to give this couple each their own separate card, Ian today and Anya for the hop. This Ian is such a dapper looking little dude with that tie, it made me think he was getting ready for a big Valentine's date night. Rather than color in most of the background, this time I opted for ink blending some red Distress Inks and stenciling on floating hearts all around him. It's a clean and simple look that still gets across the whole love theme quite effectively. :)  

Now be sure to head on over to the TGF blog to check out the super cute creations from my fellow Farmers using the new Love Couple set and I'll see you back here on Sunday for the release day hop!

Hey there!

This little clear set is big on cuteness with its pups and kitty getting together to celebrate someone's special day.

Birthday wishes...

 


Hello!

Welcome back to day two of the November Greeting Farm release. This month we are introducing four new clear sets and today's preview finds Anya celebrating with a magical unicorn party in the super cute Unicorn Bday Anya set. Not only do you get this darling Anya dressed up like a magical unicorn but the set also includes the unicorn cake and cupcake, gift bag and present, magic wand and pretty hand scripted sentiment. I masked most all the stamps together to create this snapshot of Anya at her party and colored the whole thing in pretty pastel rainbow hues. What little girl wouldn't love to have a party like this? Heck, I would still love a party like this, LOL!  ;)

Warm Christmas Wishes...

Hello crafty friends!

The Sweet November Vault has been opened and three little Christmas elves have come out to play. Jolly, Bling-a-ling and Buttons originally made their debut back in 2009 so it was about time that they got a bit of an update and a fresh new chance to adorn some Christmas cards. For my card today I chose to color up Buttons with his sweet teddy bear in tow. I paired them with the Before the Ride Room Corner background builder digi to quickly and easily give them a warm and cozy room, away from the cold weather up at the North Pole. I think this must be their favorite spot to sit and just watch the snow fall. :) 

To see the other two elves brought to life be sure to head on over to the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook page and check out the amazing cards that Melissa and Tee have created with Jolly and Bling-a-ling... so much Christmas cuteness!

Laters!

A little more sparkle...

Hey there!
 
I'm up on the Bellarific Blog today with a quirky Oddball Christmas card. Personally I'm finding it hard to believe that Christmas is only 48 days away and by the looks of these two elves they may be finding it difficult to muster their usual holiday cheer in so short a time as well. Oddball Girl Elf was part of the most recent release and as soon as I got her in my hands I knew that I wanted to pair her up with the previously released Oddball Boy Elf. Together they make quite the festive pair don't they? I colored them into a winter wonderland doorway scene, I like to imagine that they are arriving to the annual elf workshop party on Christmas eve. While Santa's away the elves finally get to play and these two definitely need to cut loose, LOL!

Alrighty bellas, keep that Christmas crafting going because the big day will be here before we know it!
