You're so special...TGF Sketch Challenge

Hey Everyone,

It's Monday once again and I made a card few days ago for the TGF Sketch Challenge by Melissa. I used scraps and those scraps were my left over from the banner that I made a long time ago and I just have some spare and I thought why not use it for this challenge. Pretty much here I cut it with my cricut machine. The only thing I added was the lace trim and ribbon, flower and the sentiment. The opening of this card is a little bit different from the regular card. I punched an eyelets on the side and then in order to open it I have to turn the front page. It's hard to explain but you can see it in my Youtube channel. So onto the image I used TGF Do Si Do Anya, I colored her with my copic markers and just try to match the color of the background paper that I used. I believe the background paper was from DCWV. I love the outcome of this card and happy that I used some of my left over scraps. I hope you enjoy this card.

No tutorial for this card, sorry :(

Live a little...Love a Lot - TGF Farm Fresh Friday

Hey Crafty friends,
Today, is TGF Farm Fresh Friday and the challenge by Eva is to make something using Dies or/and Punches. In this challenge I made a side stair step card. I used my Cricut to cut the base for the sentiment and also I used my EK edge punch border. I used the stamped images from TGF OA Lovey Dovey set. I colored their hair and skin with my copic markers and then I used my prismacolor pencils to color their clothes. I've been neglecting my prisma pencils for quiet awhile so I decided to used them for a change. I like how it turned out even though different coloring type but still came out good. I used background paper from MME Fine and Dandy boy. No embellishment this time I don't know why but sometimes simple card is good enough. So I hope you like this interactive card :)

Gorgeous Blush in Shabby chic 3D

Hey Everyone,
Today I was assigned to post on TGF blog and I wanted to be special! I still can't get over that I'm a farmer and really thankful to Marie and Jess for giving me this chance :)
I like making interactive cards and so far aside from the easel card, this 3D box card is my favorite! It looks intimidating on how to make it but when you try it...it's not really that hard to make. So here I am very excited to share these 3D box cards that I made using the gorgeous (new)Blush Bettie, Blush Babette and Blush Bonnie. I had an awesome time making these box cards...so inlove with the TGF Blush society. So I want to make a really special card for them and this is what I came up with. It's very addicting to make this 3D box card, just giving you a heads up hehehe... For the details I colored their hair and skin with copic markers. Then I paper pieced their clothes, stockings and shoes. I added a butterflies on their hair and I thought it was really cute. So for the box I used my Bazzill Bling String of pearls cardstock as my base card. Then for the patterned paper I used Butterfly Garden by Pink paislee. To embellished it more I used MS punch border and EK success punch border. I added butterflies from MS punch and flower punch from EK success. Also, I used the sentiments that comes with the BLUSH Society rubber stamp. To finalized the design of the box I added faux rhinestones on the front for the frame to stand out. Then my favorite thing to do can't finish things without using it my distress ink to distress all the edges. I hope I inspire you to create these adorable 3D box cards with gorgeous Blush as your topper.

I'm here if you need me - Card

Hey Everyone,
Happy Friday! I'm here to share a card that I made using Papertrey Ink Stamps & Dies. First I used my papertrey flower and leaf dies to cut onto my glossy paper and then I stamped the image on the glossy paper with my archival black ink. Then I started coloring it with dye based inks like distressing or Jenni bowlin inks. Don't worry the ink won't smudge on glossy paper just make sure set it aside for a little bit to dry. I used the MME Fine and Dandy paper pad and I sewed all the edges for my background paper and used my walnut distress ink for all the edges of this card, love distressing! Lastly I added twine and some buttons as an embellishement. Have a happy weekend everyone!

I’m gonna be one of their designer for six months and I’m so excited and this is my very first designer experience and I’m really looking forward to this…and I’m so thankful for this opportunity that they’ve given me. For those of you who aren't familiar with THE GREETING FARM here's a little bit introduction: Sprouting sunshine and smiles through stamping since 2008, The Greeting Farm is proud to bring you a cute and charming cast of characters that suits your every whim! Whether it's a sweet and lovable Anya or Ian (Anya has been our "company mascot" since the beginning!), Cheeky chic, or something a little more edgy mixed with a fun beat or two of punk, TGF is your one-stop shop for all your rubber stamping wishes! Our line has expanded from the Anya and Ian character line to some cute and cuddly animal friends, and numerous other icons such as Wild Sprouts, Cheeky Cherry girls, our bit more edgy/artsy Creeper Crew, and the lovable Oliver and Amelia who bring childhood nostalgia to everyone they meet!

Thanks for visiting The Greeting Farm, where we grow smiles and bright, crafty days!

And for this month of JULY 2012 here's the easel card that I made using BLUSH BETTIE! Absolute adorable rubber stamp image. I colored her with my copic markers and for the background paper I used Kaisercraft Bonjour paper pad. Then just added tulles on both sides and some die cut flourishes and roses from the MFT. I printed the sentiment (Thank you) and I used my decorative scalloped scissor for the edges of some background papers. For the finish touch I used my walnut distress ink on all of the edges.
