FFF - Oh Boy!

Happy Friday! It's Farm Fresh Friday over at The Greeting Farm. Come join us for this "Oh Boy" challenge. Here is my card for you using CC Saturday.

I didn't do too many layers on this card. Actually I used one DP for the background and just used some nesting oval dies on vellum and another pattern paper. I wrapped some twine around the card and threaded it through a button. I used dimensional pop dots for dimension.

He is colored with my Copics and I added some paper piecing to his outfit.

Hope you enjoyed my card for today. Tomorrow is the June Release Blog Hop! Woohoo! That's your chance to win the ENTIRE June Release. See ya tomorrow!

How you BEAN?

Hi everyone! It's June release week over at The Greeting Farm. If you missed out yesterday's preview check it out. Don't forget to comment on today's TGF post for your chance to win this stamp. What's the stamp, you ask? It's WINKY BEAN!! It's a new clear stamp in the Bean Collection.

Isn't she so cute! 

Here's another sample that I created for you. For this card, I fussy cut her and the flowers. You can use the image whole or you can be selective of what part of the image you want to use. 

I placed her and one of the flowers on dimensional foam dots. I used Stickles on both cards for that added sparkle.

Thanks for taking a looky at my cards today. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments. Stay tuned for June 1st, where we will be having a June Release Blog Hop! See ya later!

FFF - Make it Move

Well what do you know, it's another Friday! you know what that means, Farm Fresh Friday time over at The Greeting Farm. The challenge is "Make it Move". I made a double slider card. 

I watched this video tutorial back in 2008. It was really easy to follow.

I colored Garden Anya with my Copics and added some red Stickles on the flowers. The sentiment is from the stamp set Anya Blooms and the flower image is from the Mini Fleurs w/Die Clear Stamp Set. On the bottom slider part, I just made a little slot to insert a gift card. You can choose to put your message here as well.

Check out all the other projects from the Design Team here. Thanks for stopping by!

GOOD LUCK!!

GVT - Photo Inspiration

It's Photo Inspiration time for this Garden Variety Tuesday over at The Greeting Farm. 

Here is my card using an image from the Rock the Farm Set (Retired). Parts of the image is paper pieced and colored with my Copics. I used four dies fromTGF: Delicate Words Die, Mini Clouds w/Die, TGF Fence Die and the Tulip Border Die.

The little heart that I used to dot the "i" is actually the one from the TGF Fence Die. When I layered the fence die and the tulip border dies together, I cut off some of the tulips and I like how it doesn't completely block the fence in the background.

Thanks for stopping by and come and play along this GVT over at the TGF Blog.

GOOD LUCK!!

FFF - Paper Piecing

Hi guys! It's paper piecing madness for this Farm Fresh Friday over at The Greeting Farm. Obviously that's the challenge for today. This was so much fun. For those who don't know what paper piecing is, it's basically stamping your image on designer paper and cutting the different pieces out of the image and layering them over the image. 

I did a pictorial tutorial for you, but here is my finished card:

So let's begin....

Step 1: Stamp your image on white cardstock.

Step 2: Color any part of the image that you will not be paper piecing. In my case, I just colored her skin.

Step 3: Choose several designer papers and stamp your image.

Step 4: Cut the images out.

Step 5 (Optional): I take a dark colored marker and lightly run the tip over the edges of the paper. This just ensures for a cleaner cut image, I don't like the white core of the paper to show around the edges.

Step 6: Take your favorite adhesive to glue the pieces on to the blank stamped image. Here I used the Xyron sticker maker.

And that is it! The designer papers that I used are from 6x6 papers, this ensures that the pattern on the DP is on a smaller scale so that you can see the design better. I just love her outfit!

This technique can be done with any image. Give it a try and play along with us for this FFF over at the TGF Blog.

GOOD LUCK!!

GVT - Blue & Green

Hello Tuesday. Not feeling good today, but the show must go on! Today is Garden Variety Tuesday over at The Greeting Farm Blog. The colors to use are Blue & Green. I made a card using My Guy Ian.

The paper is from Jilibean Soup - Spotted Owl Soup. It's a birthday pack and has cute owls. I've been really liking flat cards lately, so easy to mail and you don't have to worry about all the dimensional stuff. Oh you can't forget about the Stickles for some added sparkle. I placed the glittler glue on the owl's party hat and some of the polka dots.

This color combo of Blue & Green can be either Masculine of Feminine. Please join us for this GVT Challenge. I'll see you back on Friday for another Farm Fresh Friday.

GOOD LUCK!
