TGF Farm Fresh Friday - Embossing

** Please scroll down for my Your Next Stamp post ** )



Happy Friday!  We've got a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over on the TGF Blog today and the theme is "embossing".  We would like to see either wet or dry embossing on your projects.


 
 
I used the new Tweety Pie clear stamp on my card today.  I am in love with all the cute critters from our latest release!!!  I colored her with copics and then cut her out using the Tweety Pie die cuts.  I used an embossing folder to emboss the clouds behind the bird and added a few enamel dots.

Be sure to stop by the TGF Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today for our new challenge.  I hope you find some time to get inky and play along with us!  The random winner receives a $25 Gift Certificate to the TGF Store!!! 

There are only a few simple rules to play along in the challenge:

- You must use a TGF stamp (rubber, digi, or clear) as your main image- Entries must be uploaded to the TGF Blog no later than May 21 at noon CST
- The fabulous prize:  A $25 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store!  (If you're the lucky random winner you'll have 2 weeks to claim your prize)


Thank you for stopping by.  I have another card to share later this morning so I hope you find some time to stop by again.

Hugs, Anita

Your Next Stamp - Fun Friday Sketch and Color Challenge #14

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for our Fun Friday Sketch and Color Challenge over on the Your Next Stamp Blog.


Doesn't this scene just make you think of summer?  I used the fence from the Jessica with her Horse stamp set along with the coordinating die set.  Then I used the branch and a few of the birdies from the Word Critters Collection - Spring Birds stamp set and coordinating dies.  I colored all the images with copics and then used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the flowers.  I applied some Glossy Accents to the birds' beaks.  I also used the Stitched Rectangle die to cut my white cardstock and then stenciled some puffy clouds. 

 


To enter the challenge you need to follow the sketch and/or the inspiration photo.  Be sure to stop by the Your Next Stamp Blog to read the challenge details and to see the beautiful projects by the rest of the DT! 


 



Thanks so much for stopping by.  I have a few more cards I'll be posting today so I hope you'll join me again later!

Hugs, Anita

The Greeting Farm - For Someone Special

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a couple of the new May release stamp and die sets from The Greeting Farm.




I combined the deer from the Wood Friends stamp set and the tweet little birdie from the Cuddly Thanks stamp set.  I colored these cute critters with copics and then cut them out using the coordinating Wood Friends and Cuddly Thanks die sets.  These stamp and die sets are currently sold out but I know Marie will have them back in the shop soon.  In the meantime, you can find all the other awesome Greeting Farm stamps and dies here.

Copics used:
Deer - E35, E33, E31, E42, E41, E40, R11, R00
Bird - C3, Y18, Y15, Y02, Y38

Your Next Stamp - May DT Dare

Good morning and welcome to the Your Next Stamp May DT Dare!  This month our dare was to include stitching and yummy gumdrops along with stamps and/or dies from our May release.  




I used the new Woodland Cuties clear stamp set and the coordinating Woodland Cuties Die Set.  This set has the cutest little animals and sweet sentiments!  I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to cut both the polka-dot dp and white cardstock.  I used the Scrapworks - Mini Sunburst Die to cut the window for my shaker card, and then used the Confetti Die to cut the shapes for my shaker card.  And of course I added some yummy gumdrops in kiwi and bubblegum.


 
 
 

Don't forget to stop by the YNS Blog for more inspiration ... and Karen gives away a stamp set to one lucky person that leaves a comment!
