Scene It Sunday #198 Featuring Beach from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. It has been a long while since I last did one of these posts, so this scene is probably at the wrong end of the summer, especially as my own summer holiday is now over and I'm back at school!

I created this fun scene using various digi stamps from The Greeting Farm and had loads of fun colouring it all up. Would have loved to visit a beach this summer, but I've got a long term knee injury which means long distance driving and uneven walking are out of the picture for a while until it heals.

Something Else on Saturday #257 Featuring The Traveller from Krista Smith Stamps

All Things Magical and Mythical #113 Featuring Anniversary Fairy from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. This week, I have used another gorgeous image from The Greeting Farm, Anniversary Fairy which was a free image I think a few years back to celebrate The Greeting Farm's birthday.

I went for a pastel colour combo this time, but kept her hair nice and bright to stand out from the rest of the card. Lots of layers and lots of gems made for a pretty card, yet fairly simple.

The Greeting Farm Guest Designer Post #3 & All Things Magical and Mythical #112 Featuring Mermaids!

Good morning and welcome to my final guest designer post for The Greeting Farm for this month. Thank you so much to Rosemary for inviting me to join you all again. I have thoroughly enjoyed making all my cards and projects with these fabulous stamps!

For my final project, I have made a mermaid hanging using three of the gorgeous mermaid digi stamps - Coralina Merbean, Leela Merbean and Mermaid (I think this one must be retired as she is no longer in the store, but I have her saved from 2015!) I found these MDF boards in a box the other week, which I had completely forgotten I had. They turned out to make the perfect project for this post! 

I painted each board with a combination of baby blue and pearlescent blue acrylic paints before adding lots of seaweed, coral and shell die cuts. I joined the boards together with some aqua ribbon and added a different ribbon to the top before adding my mermaids on top with foam pads. I also dotted some Nuvo Glitter drops round them as well. The sentiment comes from the Mermaids Galore kit.

And some close ups of each mermaid...

This project is for

Good morning everyone and welcome to my second guest designer post for The Greeting Farm.

I also used my new Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine on this one, which was a lovely Christmas present to receive! Just had to buy some more hot plate die sentiments to go with it! Love the shimmer it gives the sentiment!

Good morning and welcome to my Guest Designer Post for The Greeting Farm. I was so lucky yet again that Rosemary asked if I would like to guest design for The Greeting Farm this month and of course how could I say no?!

For my first card, I have used the gorgeous Happy Birthday To You digital stamp, which comes with the sentiment as well. I used one of my favourite colour combos, pink, orange and brown and then matched them to this old patterned paper pack I have in my stash!  This image is just adorable and I think we need an Ian version to go with her now!

I seem to have lots of various things all over the places and I never remember what I have! Looks cute as snow on top of the letters though!

Something Else on Saturday #229 Featuring Pumpkin Spice Anya from The Greeting Farm

Good morning everyone and welcome to today's Something Else on Saturday. For today's card I have used the adorable Pumpkin Spice Anya from The Greeting Farm and made a very quick snowflake framed card. I found this patterned paper in a new pack that I bought the other week and although you can't see in the photo, the picture is of lots of fir trees with a pink, purple and yellow glow to them. Such a pretty paper, but as always I ended up covering most of it up, even though I tried not to!

13 Days of Hallowe'en #13 Featuring Hocus Pocus Kit from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and Happy Hallowe'en! Welcome to my final post for the 13 Days of Hallowe'en. Today I have made a cute little canvas board using the flying witch and some bats from the Hocus Pocus Kit form The Greeting Farm. My intention is to make a series of these with different seasons on and this will be my Hallowe'en one. I will make a Christmas/Winter one at some point as well.

Anyway...Here she is. I used one of my cloud stencils and inked up the sky using my Distress Oxide inks, before adding a moon die cut. My white Posca pen ran out and the nib actually fell out, so I thought I would use my Crystal Drops for the stars but that just absorbed the Distress Ink and they turned purple! But I still love how it all came together!

The Greeting Farm Guest Designer Post #3 Featuring Picnic Digi Set

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my final GDT post for The Greeting Farm. This week, I thought I would round my month off with a fun card for the summer. Summertime is the perfect time for a get together with friends and having a picnic in the park, so I used various images from the Picnic digi stamp set to create this cute scene. 

I merged various images together in Word to layer everything together before colouring with my Copic markers. 

You can see in this one the glossy accents I added to the glass, jug and wine bottle for a touch of shine!

The Greeting Farm Guest Designer Post featuring Anya in Japan

Good morning everyone and welcome to my first GDT post of the month for The Greeting Farm. I am so super excited to have been asked to join the TGF team as a guest designer for this month! I have been a huge Greeting Farm fan for years now and have a huge collection of older red rubber stamps, clear ones and digis, so choosing what I wanted to make was really hard! In the end I chose one of my newer sets that I hadn't yet used! 

This cutie is Anya in Japan and I wanted her to look like she was under an arch of these gorgeous pink cherry blossoms. I stamped the cherry blossoms branch several times and then added some single ones to fill in the gaps. I popped Anya up on foam pads after fussy cutting her out. 

I love adding fancy borders like this to my card base as it gives the card such a nice finish. And I always try to add some small touches of bling to my cards too. 

The sentiment comes from the same stamp set as well and means thank you in Japanese, so this will be one of my thank you cards for my team at work for the end of the school year.

Scene It Sunday #149 featuring Just Friends from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and Happy Sunday! I hope you have all had a great weekend so far. Mine's been very hot! Sure it will rain soon as the UK seems to only have a few days of heat and then rains come! Might take some of the mugginess away though! 

Anyway today's card features the fab Just Friends set from The Greeting Farm which I combined with some of their other scene builder sets to create this huge birthday card! It all went brilliantly until I got to the wall in the background and the sentiment smeared when I coloured over with my Copics despite having printed it hour and hours before! So I did what I could to try and fix it. It's not terrible, but it's not great either and I think even if I had reprinted the sentiment you would have still seen the smears! I live and learn! 

This card is for
