Arigato (Thanks)!

Hello friends!  Today, I am sharing a sweet card that I created for the February Artful Angel Instagram Hop! 

Did you know that Artful Angel carries The Greeting Farm stamps in the shop?  They are some of my absolute faves, so I was so excited to get to use the darling Anya in Japan stamp set. 

I colored Anya using Copic markers and added some white accents with a gel pen before cutting her out.

I also colored up a few of the cherry blossom branches, the origami bird and dragonfly before cutting them out. 

I used the Stitched Scalloped Borders Dies from Kat Scrappiness and die-cut several panels from solid card stock and digital papers.  I layered everything up, stamped the sentiment and created a banner and added a loopy bow behind the origami bird. 

This was a really fun card to create!  Truthfully, any time I get to use The Greeting Farm stamps is a happy day!  I hope you will join us over on Instagram for a fun hop with the rest of the Design Team! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cowgirl Love!

  Happy Friday, friends!  Today, I am sharing a card that I had SO much fun creating!  I recently hosted a Mystery Craft Along with some of my favorite friends, and I taught them a variation on the Twisted Ribbon Technique.  I had so much fun with it, that I wanted to try it with washi tape rather than paper, and this time I used the traditional technique.

I love the Glitter Washi Tapes so much, so I decided to pair the Black and Hot Pink to create the Twisted Ribbon Panel.  I die-cut a black and pink banner and paired it with this adorable cowgirl image (colored with Copic markers) from The Greeting Farm that I received at Jennifer Dove's Boot Camp. 

I die-cut the sentiment from a die in my stash and adhered it to the card front.  To complete my card, I added a silver metallic bow to the hot pink paper flower, and then added one of the beautiful new Rose Brads.

I hope you love this card too!

Coffee, anyone?

 Hi friends!  I hope that you are having an amazing week!  I am so thankful it is Friday. Phew!  Wasn't sure I was going to make it.... 

Today, I am sharing this super fun gift card holder that I created to showcase the sweet Brew It Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm!   I seriously had SO much fun creating it.

I colored Anya with Copic markers (colors listed below), cut her out and set her aside.   Ages ago, I purchased the Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder Honey Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps and I had never used it, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to give it a go. 

This die set was so incredibly easy to put together. I die-cut the holder using 80# white card stock.  I had tried with 110# and I found it was a bit too thick once the layers were added for it to close properly.  I die-cut the outer layers from Stampin' Up Butterfly Bijou DSP.  It coordinated with Anya's outfit so well! Using the die for the coffee sleeve, I cut it out of kraft card stock and I heat embossed the "enjoy" sentiment from the Celebrate and Enjoy stamp set.   I drew the stitching on the sleeve using a white gelly roll pen.  Once I had all of the elements ready, I adhered Anya to the sleeve so that she would hold the coffee cup lid flat. 

Colors Used: 

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Hair - E29, E08, E13

Clothing - BG15, BG13, BG11, BG10, C10, C8, C6, C4, C2, C0

Cup (Lid) - C2, C1, C0

I hope that you love her as much as I do!  I think this will make a fabulous gift!  

A HUGE thank you to The Greeting Farm for providing such wonderful images to work with!  If you have not been to their store, please go check them out!

The Greeting Farm - Donut Worry

 Hi friends!  I am popping in to share a card that I made for fun!  When I saw the Donut Worry stamp set from The Greeting Farm, I knew I had to have a play.  I mean, this girl loves donuts!  Don't you? 

I colored the images with Copic markers (colors listed below), cut them out and set them aside.  I wanted to create a fun, cheerful card to send to a friend, so I decided to go with the bright pink, black and white. 

I created lots of layers with my paper and stamped the sentiment on the right side of the white panel. 

I adhered the main image using liquid adhesive, and then I used foam squares on the smaller images to create some dimension.  To finish it off, I added a bow using some Stampin' Up Bakers Twine. 

Colors Used: 

Skin - E04, E13, E31, E00, E000, E0000, R81

Hair - E55, E53, Y35, Y13, E00
