A Twisted Sweet November Sneak

Hello! I am so excited to get to introduce you to Oleander! She is from a new line of Sweet November stamps called Twisted Sisters, and I just LOVE them!! Just look at the adorable little bat wings and striped tights, not to mention her awesome kicky boots!! Isn't she fabulous!?

I colored her with Copics (of course!) and used some leftover chipboard letters for the sentiment. They are covered in black paint and Stickles. I made the pleated ribbon with a little help from my sewing machine (you just might be seeing a tutorial on how I pleated the ribbon for today's card and made the ribbon ruffle for yesterday's card about mid-week next week!)

It's Time for Somoa Anya and Ian Sneak Peeks!

I'm sorry - I couldn't resist that title with this adorable new stamp set from The Greeting Farm called Cute Troop! I was giddy when I opened my (final) (sniff, sniff) DT package and saw this super cute Scout set! I almost colored Anya as a Brownie (and yes, there is an Ian Scout in the set, too!) but my daughter is bridging to Girl Scout this year, so I thought I would make this card for our Fantastic Troop Leader! These cuties are going to be available on the 15th!


The Details:
Stamp: Cute Troop - The Greeting Farm
Paper: K&Co Girl Scout pad, Old Olive, Garden Green, PTI White

Sneak Peek of a Dressy Miss!

I am so excited to get to show you a sneak peek of a new stamp set from The Greeting Farm called Miss Anya Dressy! I just love all of the Miss Anya sets and this one is so beautiful with all of the lovely details each girl has! This one was my favorite from the minute I saw them (that may change once I color the other 2!), but I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT has done and which Miss Anya they have chosen to play with! The Miss Anya Dressy set will be available on the 1st of August (along with several other surprises we will show you next week!!) We will also be having a HUGE Blog Hop to celebrate The Greeting Farm's One Year Anniversary and you can be a part of it!!! You can get all of the details at HERE on Club Anya! I hope to see you there!!

I don't know why, but Miss Anya's hair wanted to be lilac! So, I had to go on a search for paper because with all of the paper that I have, very little of it is purple or lilac!! I also made this card to participate in the Farm Fresh Friday challenge at TGF, so I have included butterflies and flowers! The butterflies were made with a Martha Stewart punch and the flowers were a combination of Martha Stewart punches and Nestabilities (all decorated with stickles and Basic Grey brads!).

The rest of the details:
Stamp: Miss Anya Dressy - TGF
Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle, Lovely Lilac, Rose Red, Summer Sun - SU, White -PTI
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20

Sneak Peak Day 2 - Oh, Baby!

Hi! So, do you have fun plans for the weekend? This is the last weekend of Re-Faire here, so I will be there all weekend!I may already be listening to Bawdy Pirate songs or watching Bad Shakespeare being performed at the "Tomato Show"! But I am also happy to show you a sneak peak of another new set from The GreetingFarm - Oh, Baby! This set is SO cute! I made my card with the little boy, but there is also an adorable little girl, a teddy bear, duckie, several other accessories and some cute sentiments! I love The Greeting Farm sets because they give you lots of options!


For my first card today I used DP from The Greeting Farm. Although it is not what you would traditionally think of as baby colors, I thought the sweet bunnies would be cute on a baby card! The layout is from a past Mojo Monday sketch challenge. The image is colored with Copics:

Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Clothes: BG11,BG72,BG75, Y23,Y26,Y28


My second card uses Baseball Ian, previously a Digi stamp only that will be available in rubber on the 15th! Last week, Marie at The Greeting Farm had a black, white and gray color challenge. I had so much fun doing the challenge that I wanted to play with those colors again! The baseball is from the set Pupstar and I cut the word Dad out with my Cricut!

Now be sure to go see the other DT members who always have something amazing to show!
