The Greeting Farm - Here's to a Great Year!

Hi everyone, Jo here. School is in session for most and that is the theme for my card today. "Here's to a Great Year!" using Miss Anya Hobby Clear Stamp Set and the Build-a-Locker Digi Set. Another wonderful mix of clear stamps and digital stamps.

The digital images were printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb cardstock. The lockers, backpack and all the decorations are from the Build-a-Locker Digi Set. It's so fun to set your scene by layering all the digis, size them up or down, whichever way you choose.

Miss Anya Hobby is colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut out and adhered to the card. The base of the card is covered with pattern paper for the border around the lockers. The digital sentiment was printed out and cut into a fish tail banner peeking out behind Anya.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Make sure to join our Facebook Community for more inspiration!

Lastly, we introduced you to ALPACA CHRISTMAS with 4 alpacas ready to have a woolly good time at all the holiday parties.

Here is my card showcasing elements from all three stamp sets. I created a slimline card to capture this fun scene. Did you know that our Winter in the US is Summer in Australia? Different seasons but same holiday festivities.

The vehicle and the occupants are from the Minkie Jingle Stamp Set. They are traveling in their camper van as they enjoy the scenery in Australia.

The Greeting Farm - Let's Spook

Hi everyone, Jo here. Let's create a fun and festive Halloween card today. Here I am using one of my newest favorite stamp set BOO paired with Halloween Nite Digi Set, Porch Digi Set and Miss Anya All Year (Limited Edition Set). This is a wonderful mix of clear stamps and digital stamps all in one card.

All the images are either colored with Copic Markers or Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, I couldn't decide which medium to use. The background starts with the door and coordinating door mat from the Porch Digi Set. I colored in some "siding" and ground for the house with Copic Markers.

The pumpkins, hay bale and the witch's cauldron is from the Halloween Nite Digi Set. I printed the images out, fussy cut them and adhered them to the card to create the front porch decorations. Miss Anya All Year is a Limited Edition Stamp Set that includes various Anyas representing the multiple calendar celebrations.

Lastly, the ghosts, bat, leaves and the sentiment are from the Boo Stamp Set. The bat garland across the front door was created by one image.
