Hello and Happy Saturday! Welcome to day 18 of the 25 days of Christmas Tags. Today's tag sponsor is AveryElle. I kept today's tag C&S and this one will be adorned on one of my Momma's Christmas gifts. 

Stamp set used: Merry Flowers

Glossy Accents

Image was 1st stamped and then fussy cut out with scissors. I added some white highlights using my Sharpie paint pen. Glossy accents was added to the berries to give them the sheen that berries naturally have. Then popped everything up off of tag base using some 3M foam tape.

The Greeting Farm- Day 3 previews, Feels

Welcome, Welcome!! Today is DAY 3, our final day of Previews for our November Release. All new products will be available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store tomorrow, September 15th. 

 Also, don't forget we will have our New Release Blog Hop as well, where 1 lucky winner will receive the new stamp sets! Today, we are featuring a new stamp set called, Feels.

This set is perfect both in and out of the planner, as you can see I choose to use inside of my planner. These stamps are full images, but I knew I only wanted to use part of one of them and just get the upper body. I masked November 14th off with a post it note so I could get the, Meh girl stamped for the day above being I had a meeting that day that I didn't want to go to.
I wanted it to look almost as though she were resting her arm on the line of the planner, I feel I achieved that, dont you!?
I also used one of the images to make a, Me planner clip. Currently my hair is pink/purple, so that's how I colored her :) who know's next weekend it may be blue.

You can see I also used yesterday's stamp set, Tiny Plans on my monthly layout.

I will have one final post for you all tomorrow and then unfortunately my time is up with this AMAZING company.
After November is complete I may step back for awhile and take a stampy crafty break... we will see. This will be the 1st time in a long time where I will not be on any Design Teams.

25 Days of Christmas Tags, Day 13- Neat and Tangled

Happy Monday everyone. Today is day 13 of the 25 days of Christmas tags. This will be my 1st tag participating in this years festivities. I adore today's company and have been collecting their stamps quite frequently this past year and have grown a decent collection, I just had to play along. 

Today's featured Sponsor company is Neat & Tangled. I created a fun tag using the newly released, "Fa La Lama" stamp set. 

Colored using Copic Markers

Pattern Paper: Deck the Halls- American Crafts

Twine & Light bulb Embellishment

My image is stamped off of the tag, making legs and rest of body not visible. Mainly because they wouldn't fit on the size tag I was working with. 

I was still able to fit quite a bit a detail on this small little tag and it works perfect with being able to do the sentiment going vertical.

The Greeting Farm- Hello Gorgeous-November release previews

Welcome, Welcome!! Today is DAY 1 of Previews for our November Release, which will be available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store on Wednesday, September 15th. 

 Also, don't forget we will have our New Release Blog Hop as well, where 1 lucky winner will receive the new stamp sets! Today, we are featuring an adorable new planner set called, "Hello Gorgeous".

This little coffee drinking diva is life. I haven't had much time to decorate my planner lately with my busy work scheduled, kids and health, so it was fun to just sit down and fully decorate out a month. (you can kinda see an extra sneak peek in this photo of for whats to come on Monday)
 I'm really loving the Mini Happy Planner, this is what planner I use to keep track of all my crafty commitments. One thing I would advise is not use Copics in this planner.  Although the paper quality of this planner is nice, they like to bleed through and also don't blend all that well.
I would suggest some colored pencils.

TGF- Believe in Magic

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's design team day for me over at The Greeting Farm blog. 

 I have a fun out of this galaxy card to share with you all, that may or may not have an adorable certain wizard on the front. 

My adorable HP was colored using my Copic markers. I created the background using Spectrum Noir Aqua markers. I feel I get the best Galaxy by coloring directly onto the paper, it always turns out so vibrant. I add some muted black ink by using the ink splotching technique, after base has dried. My stars were created using some diluted acrylic paint. I may do a technique video showcasing this background, what do you all think!? 

   Many of you adore this set just like myself and have already added it to your TGF Collection, I hope this inspires you to get crafty and put it to use. 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

The Greeting Farm- Day 2 previews- Honor Students & Magic Class

Welcome, Welcome!! Today is DAY 2 of Previews for our October Release, which will be available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store on Sunday, September 15th. If you missed day one be sure to check out my post from yesterday so you don't miss out on the cuteness. 

 Today, we are featuring two new sets, Honor Students & Magic Class. I mixed both these sets for today's card as well as a little free hand.

EEP... I just adore these magical cuties. I free handed the Gryffindor shield and then outlined using a fineline pen. All the character images are from the Honor Students set. It's very faint in this photo but I stamped the entire background behind shield and characters using a bunch of images from the Magic Class stamp set. 

I colored everything using my Copic markers.

The Greeting Farm- October Farm Fresh Challenge

Hi Farmers!! Today starts a new Farm Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm! Our Farm Fresh Challenges start on the first of every month and run for an entire month to give you more time to enter. To top it all off, the prize amount is $50!!! Can you believe it?!! At the end of the month you could possibly win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store!!

Were you the winner from last month's challenge? Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see our winner and more inspiration from my fellow team members.

Now on to our October Farm Fresh Challenge. This month our challenge is...

Monochromatic!

I mixed three of last months new stamps sets to create today's card. I used, Holiday Wishes, Oh What Fun & Merry & Bright. I decided to do all my adorable little critters in monochromatic with just pops of color. The card just wouldn't have been me if I dint have more color, so I did a water-colored background using the ink smooshing method and some Tim Holtz Distress Oxides. I don't think this takes away from the monochromatic theme, but rather adds to it and only makes make critters stand out more being on a brighter background. 

Images colored using Copic Markers.

 Now be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to read the rules and link up your card.

SugarPea Designs,Day 4 - August Previews

Welcome Back! We are only one day away now from the SugarPea Designs August Release. Today is day FOUR and it's jammed packed with gorgeous goodies. Let's dive right in, shall we!?

I took a spooky take on today's products. I just had to use the vampire from yesterday's Monster Mash stamp set as well as the monster hugs sentiment. I Feel like the mandala has a webbing kind of design. I also thought the sentiment was perfect for how he's holding his arms are and I wanted to emphasis on the YOU part.

I used three different distress oxides to create the blended background, Candies apple,
Abandoned coral & Fired brick. I stamped the Mandala in Memento Tuxedo black ink. I used some watered down black acrylic paint to get the spackled effect.

Below you will see all the items being showcased for today... Be sure to head on over to the SPD Blog to see the entire lineup of designers and enter for your chance to win some SPD Goodies.

SugarPea Designs- Day 2, August Previews

Welcome Back for Day two of August release previews for SugarPea Designs. Yesterday was jammed packed with tons of new yummy products and today we have even more for you.

We are showcasing the new, "Made with love" stamp set as well as the,"With Love tag".

I decided to make a small little note card style card to go along with my next crochet project, when I get one done that is. 

My card measures at 4.25x 3.5, perfect for a hand written note inside or maybe even a Giftcard. 

Teal background created using- Tim Holtz, Peacock Feathers Distress oxide ink. 

For some reason I had the new die we are showcasing today written down for the wrong preview date in planner, so I ended up going with the older but still lots of fun..SugarCuts- For you Tag. 

I also ended up using the, Notched Hearts Journal Card. 

Below you will see all the items being showcased for today... Be sure to head on over to the SPD Blog to see the entire lineup of designers and enter for your chance to win some SPD Goodies.
