Prince Ian Preview Day!

Welcome to the MAY PREVIEW DAYS with The Greeting Farm!
Before I get to showing you some brand new projects today with some FRESH new stamps, we just have a few announcements we'd love to share:


We've had some changes to TGF Challenges and are very grateful to have heard such positive feedback so far as we've turned them over to our Showcase DT. Please make sure you visit the TGF Blog (and check out it's cute new makeover while you're there!) and tune into the Left-hand sidebar for all of our current challenges in ONE place!


Now on to the pretty stuff, alright?!  Well, how about handsome stuff instead?!  Today I am previewing Prince Ian, who would look adorable with Princess Anya from a couple days ago. Isn't he a majestic little Prince!

On this card, I used the Basic Grey Plumeria paper pad for inspiration.  Purple is such a regal color that I thought I'd start there. I colored him with Copics, cut out his "outer garment layer" from silver CS, and added the very hip and cool Two-Tone Grosgrain ribbon.  By slightly curving the "a special guy" sentiment from the TGF My Guy Ian stamp set, I was able to add it to the banner die cut.  :D 

And here he is close up!

We'll be giving away ONE stamp during each day of previews, so be sure to visit the TGF BLOG for that information as well!

Last but not least , please join us for our RELEASE DAY BLOG HOP, prizes, and fun on MAY 1st, when FOUR NEW STAMPS will be available on the Farm!

Oh Snap Blog Hop Challenge!

Hey y'all! Today is There She Goes' fourth and final day of new release peeks! So exciting!

 We are finishing up with my favorite set of the release, a set that is sure to appeal to all the cardmaking, scrapbooking, camera wielding stampers out there!!

Oh Snap is a 6x8 set that includes 33 stamps, and will sell for $24.

Did I mention that this is my favorite set in the release?!  Seriously there are soooo many sayings and adorable elements that I just can't wait to play with it some more. Here is my first card using the stamp set.

 I started with this week's TSG sketch (again, I know, work with me here!).  Using the EP This and That Paper Pad, i made the card.  So cute!  

Then I stamped the camera 3 times, colored each one, and cut out the layers of the camera.  By layering up, you get such awesome dimension when you look at the card IRL.

You can kinda see the layers here, but in person it's so dang cute!  I added Diamond Glaze to the flashes and camera lens'.  

And of course I had to use my favorite sentiment in the set: Take a picture...it will last longer.  Hee hee.  Reminds me of NYC and all the construction workers whistling at the women walking by. :D

Bombdiggity Blog Hop Challenge!

Click HERE if you are looking for the TGF Princess Preview Post.

Hey everyone! Welcome to day THREE of this month's There She Goes New Release Blog Hop Challenges.  Approach these SUPER CUTE girls, with their frazzled hair, with caution….they just might EXPLODE!  Bombdiggity is the PERFECT set for showing JUST how excited/happy/proud you are of that special someone in your life….and they're just FUN!  

Bombdiggity  is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 24 stamps and will sell for $18 .

I am loving ALL of the images in this stamp set, but this little girl reminded me of those dress up wigs we had as kids.  We'd get all dressed up and put on plays in the garage.  We got so good we even charged admission and my mom made snacks and lemonade for us!  Well, by now y'all know that I always start with a sketch.  This week's TSG Challenge is, lucky for me, a sketch!

I used the Echo Park A Boy's Life paper pad again, showing the versitility of a pad.  A "boy" themed pad can easily be used for a girl.   

I added a Stickled Star and colored her boots with a mix of black and stardust stickles. Of course her wig needed some bling on the bows and I added a little bling to the sentiment and down the side of the crown border.  Tied up the ribbon (May Arts Striped Twill in Red) with the Bow Easy.  That little tool sure does make my life easier.  And Voila!  And adorable card! :D

Today also kicks off TSG's Sponsorship of the Ribbon Carousel Challenge!  And we're making it SUPER easy on y'all....it's anything goes this week!

I decided to do something different this time.  I made a set of magnets for the fridge that would be easy to replicate in no time at all.  There are just so many cute sayings that I wanted to be able to use all of them!

First I assembled the supplies:  Bottle Caps with magnets, A Boy's Life Paper Pad, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Memento Ink, Copics and the lush and fabulous May Arts Twine (coming to the Ribbon Carousel this week)!  Then got to work making some magnets.  Punch paper, stamp and color, add Diamond Glaze, gently add the twine.  

And Voila, adorable magnets for the fridge that reinforce positive thinking for the kids!
