  The Greeting Farm ~ Happy to Sea You!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jun 15th

  Hello crafty friends! 

  Crystal here with two fun cards using the adorable Happy to Sea You set by The Greeting Farm and I’ve paired it with the beautiful Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn!! 

  

  I love how easy it is to make a card using these beautiful papers for your background! They are so beautiful and all I needed to do was run them through the Big Shot with a fun die to create my background. For the cards I’m sharing today, I used the Stitched Circle Plate Background die by Gina Marie Designs. I die cut it four times… twice for the two patterned papers and then with white card stock and kraft card stock.

  

  Once I had that done, I set it aside and stamped my sea creatures… oh my goodness… this set of sea creatures just might be my favorite!! The turtle… love! And that seahorse… adore!! I sure had a blast coloring all the images!!

  I used the following Copic markers to color the images:

  Turtle ~ G12, G24, G28, BG10, BG23

  Whale ~ B21, B23, B26, T1

  Clam ~ RV63, RV91, N0, N1, N3, R00

  Seahorse ~ G12, G24, YG01

  Jellyfish ~ RV91, V04, V12

  Octopus ~ V04, BV000, BV00, BV04, BV13

  Starfish ~ YR15, YR16, R12

  Shark ~ N0, N1, N3

  Seaweed ~ YG01, YG23

  Coral ~ R12, R22

  

  Once I had them all colored, I fussy cut them out as close to the black line as possible and then colored the edges with my Memento tuxedo black marker. That’s a great way to make the edges look nice and clean. And then the fun part of building my scenes… so fun! On both cards, I wanted a creature to look like he was swimming through the circle so I used the whale on my first card and the shark on the second. I think it gives dimension to the card even though all the layers are adhered together. Yup… you read that right. I didn’t pop up any of the images!! Lol!

  

  But I did pop up the sentiments!!! I just love how these turned out! I hope I’ve inspired you to create a fun scene using pretty papers and cute stamps! Both items I’ve featured today are in stock in the SFL shop!!

  Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my blog!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Center Box Pop Out Card with The Greeting Farm Hands Down

  Posted at 9:00 am by Luci Manos

  Jun 10th

  Hi Everyone!  It’s Luci from “My Crazy Craft Life” with Center Box Pop Out or Pop Up Card!  I am so happy with how this turned out!  Be sure to check out the video for all the details, dimensions, and tips I learned along the way HERE!  For this project I used The Greeting Farm “Hands Down” and Sunny Studio “Magical Mermaids” stamp sets.  I stamped the images with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and I used  Tsukineko Jet Black to stamp the glasses from the Hands Down set on to Acetate, and Copic colored all of the images. The cardstock was from my stash.

  January 2019 FOTM Card Kit ~ Let’s Do Coffee!

  Posted at 1:00 pm by Crystal O. Minkler

  Feb 11th

  Hello there! Crystal here with a bonus post today! I just had to revisit the January 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit to make a couple more coffee themed cards for my stash. I’m not sure if I admitted this yet, but I believe that Brew It, Anya just may be my favorite stamp in this kit… very closely followed by the sweet Melting Snowman stamp set in the Banana Split subscription. But for today’s post, I have created two cards using Brew It, Anya… both using the same sketch.

  

  Since I was using my favorite stamp from the kit, I thought it only natural to use my favorite paper… Coffee Time by Scrapping for Less from Collection One. I can’t get enough of this paper and I was excited to find that it’s available in the store right here —> A La Carte . I cut the necessary pieces for my cards and adhered them to white card bases from my stash.

  

  I then searched through my leftover pieces of card stock from the kit to stamp Anya onto. I chose Whip Cream and Sno Cone card stock. I die cut her out using a scalloped circle die and then die cut the image again with a circle die (cutting out the center of the circle that I popped up on the cards). I stamped Anya again (twice) on Neenah 110# Classic Crest Smooth Solar White card stock included in the kit. For my first card, I kept Anya neutral to coordinate with the colors in the papers.

  I colored my first Anya card with the following Copic markers:

  Skin ~ E000, E00, R20

  Hair ~ E41, E42

  Clothes ~ E43, E44, E47, E49

  Cup ~ E44, E47, E49

  

  For my second card, I tried to use similar colors to the paper so I added some blue to this one.

  I colored in my second Anya with the following Copic markers:

   Skin ~ E000, E00, E11, E13

  Hair ~ E41, E42

  Clothes ~ E44, E47, E49, B000, B00, BG0000, BG000, BG10

  Cup ~ E43, E44, E47, E49

  As I mentioned earlier, I popped up the circle portion of the main image using foam tape and then I adhered the scallop with just a little bit of liquid glue. I love the dimension this gives to the focal image! I found a couple different sentiments in the kit to use for each card. I stamped them and then die cut them out using a banner die. I also popped the sentiments up on the card using foam tape.

  

  To finish off the cards, I added some glossy accents (from my stash) to the little bear barrettes and also added some sequins from Collection One. And that’s it! A couple more cards using the fabulous January 2019 Perk Up and Start the New Year Card Kit!

  I love this kit so much! There’s still a few card kits available… get yours before they’re all gone!!

  Thank you friends for checking out my blog post!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs!

  No-Line Copic Coloring with the FOTM Kit

  Posted at 8:58 am by infoscrappingforless

  Feb 2nd

  Hey guys.  I can’t seem to get enough of the stamp set by The Greeting Farm from the latest Flavor of the Month Kit.

  I decided to try some no-line coloring with the image this time.  I stamped the image onto Neenah Solar White card stock with a light colored ink and colored it with my Copic Markers.  I used a Copic safe pen to draw in her eyes and mouth and created a shadow under her.  I used some of the pattern paper to create a border of the left side of the card and adhered everything together.  Nice and simple.

  No-line coloring can be sooo scary but I have been practicing a lot and I am really loving the look of it!

  
  

  I hope you will give it a try.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

  -Courtney

• The Greeting Farm ~ Save the Day

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Dec 21st

  Hello! Crystal here sharing a Valentine’s Day card using The Greeting Farm’s Save the Day stamp set. I don’t know about you all but I needed a little break from the Christmas card making… don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas and I love making Christmas cards, but I needed a little creative break. So when I saw this sweet set I knew I was going to use it to make a Valentine’s Day card for my husband. He’s my hero!

  

  I had a rough idea for my design but believe it or not… it was supposed to be a no layer card. LOL! Isn’t it funny how sometimes the card just evolves into something you didn’t quite plan?! Well, that was the case with this one. I started with the Stitched Arch Stax dies from My Favorite Things. I die cut the white and the black layers and then decided I wanted to have red in the mix since it’s a Valentine, that only made sense… so I thought a red card base would be good. And then on my desk I saw the new Polka Heart Backdrop die from Lawn Fawn… of course, I had to use it! I used it to die cut a white piece of card stock that I trimmed down and adhered to the red card base.

  

  That turned out to be too much white in the background so to break that up I found some papers from my stash with a Valentine’s theme and trimmed them down. I adhered it to a piece of red card stock and then used a stitched scalloped edge die on both sides of the patterned paper. I adhered this panel to the card base and set it aside.

  Using a grassy edge stencil, I blended some Mowed Lawn distress ink for the grass on the bottom of the first layer. I then used a mini cloud edge stencil with Tumbled Glass distress ink to create some clouds in the background. I set that piece aside and stamped the images using Memento tuxedo black ink. I then colored them in using the following Copic markers:

  Trees ~ G05, G17, G24

  Knight ~ C0, C2, C4, C8, R000, R37, R89, E55, E57, E59

  Lady ~ E0000, E000, E00, E55, E57, E59, R000, R14, R20, R27

  I fussy cut each of them out along the black lines and then went over the edges of the images using a Memento tuxedo marker (that helps to clean up the edges). I decided the Lady needed a little glittery goodness on her dress so I added some Sprinkled Sugar Stickles to the image. I just love how the ombre coloring of her dress looks with the beautiful glitter on it. I adhered the images to create the scene and then popped up the arch panel on the card. I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark watermark ink on a scrap of red card stock and then heat embossed fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down and then adhered it to the card using foam tape on the left side and liquid glue on the right since it would lay over the popped up arch.

  

  Here’s a close-up look at the glittery goodness on the Lady’s dress. Love it!

  Well, that’s it for me. I hope that you enjoyed my first Valentine’s Day card for the coming year!

  I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  ~ Crystal

• One Layer Scene with S’more Fun by The Greeting Farm

  Posted at 9:20 am by infoscrappingforless

  Dec 15th

  Hi Crafters and happy weekend,  I hope it is off to a good start.

  Today I am creating a one layer scene using the S’more Fun stamp set by The Greeting Farm.

  I started by masking off all 4 sides of my card panel and stamped and masked my images.  I created a little sign for my sentiment and used liquid frisket to mask that out.

  I did some Distress Oxide Ink blending for my sky and my grass and colored the images with my Copic Markers being sure to leave a highlight that would be created from the campfire.

  Last I added some shimmer and a few details with my white gel pen and adhered this to an A2 size notecard.

  

  Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!!
