By LORi Designs~Winter Brian

Happy Tuesday and New Years Eve everyone! So do you have big plans to bring in the New Year? We don't do much as far as celebrating. We'll have a low key night with my family and our little boy (who's getting to be not-so-little anymore). Generally we stay home and just hang out. I don't like to be out on the roads with crazy, drunk people! Whatever your plans, I hope you all stay safe and wish you many blessing in the upcoming year!

 

Today the design team is showcasing some of the BLD Winter images. I used the super adorable Winter Brian from By LORi Designs. He's printed on X-press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

 

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11

Hair: E44, E47

Green: G21, G24, G28

Red: R22, R24, R27, R29

Gray: C3, C5, C7

I think my dps are from DCWV. The white ribbon is from Walmart. The top snowflake border is from Joy Crafts and the crystal bling is from my stash.

Be sure to head over to the By LORi Designs Digi Shop to see the fabulous creations from my fellow DT Sisters and to order your CUTE BLD Stamps!! You'll definitely want to stock up on these adorable winter digi stamps....I have a feeling there's more cold weather to come.

 

Have a great week and be sure to check back here throughout the week for more cards. It's a busy week for me! :)

 

Hugs,

I used some Stampendous Frantage Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel around the edges of the white oval. To make the poinsettia, I used my favorite Spellbinders Poinsettia Creations Shapabilities die. I cut the pieces out of kraft cardstock and colored them with a Gold Sharpie (not the paint pen, but the regular gold sharpie permanent marker). Then I curled the petals before assembling and added Melissa Frances Pewter pearls to the center. The gold trim, gold ribbon, and charm were in my stash.

Dollie with Bow is Berry Sweet at The Greeting Farm!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back today to share a card I made using one of the new digis at The Greeting Farm called Dollie with Bow. I think she's adorable and an excellent choice for Christmas or Valentine's Day cards, or even birthday cards....pretty much any occasion!! I paired her with elements from the Berry Sweet Print and Cut File....perfect match I think!! :)

Now, the great thing about the cutting files is that you don't have to own an electronic cutting machine to use the files. They come with a PDF file so you can print them and fussy cut the various designs using scissors, which is what I did on my card today. AWESOME, right?!!

The dps are from Carta Bella DEVOTED 6x6 paper pad....one of my favorite paper pads ever! The ribbon is from Martha Stewart. All the hearts and "This Way To Love" Arrow are part of the Berry Sweet Cutting File. I raised them on pop-dots for added dimension.

Here are my coloring details:

TGF Farm Fresh Friday~ALL THAT SPARKLES!

Happy Friday everyone! We have an ice storm that moved into Texas so school was canceled for my little guy! I'm so glad we get to sleep in and I don't have to drive on the slick roads with crazy drivers!! I hope my friends and family in both Oklahoma and Texas stay safe!

Today starts a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge! The theme for the week is: 

 

ALL THAT SPARKLES!!

How fun is that?!! For my card today I used a limited special stamp called Double Cupcake Anya. She was part of a set with the stamp and matching cupcake journal that was offered up on pre-order a few weeks ago. I didn't waste any time and snatched up the offer, which showed up in the mail this past week! LOVE her!!

My dps are from Carta Bella Devoted 6x6 Paper Pad. The red, glittery paper is from DCWV 12x12 Holiday Glitzy Glitter Stack. The banner and Sweet Sentiment were printed from The Greeting Farm Berry Sweet Print & Cut File.It comes with a jpeg file also so you can print and fussy cut, which I did because I was too tired to pull out my Silhouette. I also added Stickles to the banner pieces and the word Sweet. The flowers and lace came from my stash.

Little Miss Muffet~YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED!

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm back today to share my latest card as part of the Little Miss Muffet Design Team. If you haven't checked out the LMM Challenge Blog yet, then be sure to click HERE! To check out the LMM Store and do some shopping click HERE!! There are some CUTE and ADORABLE stamps available in digi and rubber!!

The challenge for the next two weeks is: 

 

YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED!!

(include a frame on your card/project)

I used the super adorable Swings 'n Slides BOOKS by Pollycraft! I've got lots of friends who love to read so that was my inspiration. I used to love to read, but not as much anymore. Not sure why though because when I find a great book I will stay up into the wee hours of the morning trying to finish it! Maybe that's why I don't start, LOL! 

 

I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card and coloring her with Copics.

 

 Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11

Eyes: E43, E44

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Pink: R81, R83, R85

Black: C3, C5, C7

Book: E40, E41, E42

 

I bought the wood frame from Michaels this week and sprinkled it with Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel. I attempted to heat it with my new heat gun and all that did was blow all the embossing powder everywhere. The wood was too thick to go over the toaster (which has been my embossing method lately, LOL!). So I decided to put it on a pan and stick it in the oven under the broiler!! My kitchen appliances are definitely coming in handy, hahahahaha! Just be sure to crack the oven door open and watch it....or you may have a fire on your hands! The script paper is from Authentique. I also embossed the edges of the paper and this time used my toaster. :)

 

The flowers, crystal stems, and Smile pin were in my stash and the pearls are from Recollections.

 Here are the rules to play along with us at the LMM Challenge Blog:

Happy Tuesday everyone! I can't believe Thanksgiving is already this week....WOWZERS!! I love the holidays, but man I felt like this year just flew by!! We are fortunate because we have family who don't live too far away so we'll definitely be spending Thanksgiving pigging out with our family. Last year my husband got really sick and we weren't able to leave the house. It was a pretty low-key event and he couldn't even eat that much. This year we are definitely making up for it! I'm going to need to eat salads for months after all the splurging that's already started!!

 

For the rest of the year we'll be showcasing Christmas images at By LORi Designs, which is fine with me since it's my favorite holiday! Making Christmas cards puts a smile on my face!

TGF Farm Fresh Friday~LET IT SNOW + Special Announcement!!

TGIFriday baby and last day of school for my little guy for Thanksgiving Break! He gets an entire week off, which is nice!! 

Today starts a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge! The theme for the week is:

LET IT SNOW!!

How fun is that?!! The only problem is that some storms are rolling into Oklahoma and is supposed to bring ICE instead of snow!! We live in Texas, but we were supposed to head to OK for Thanksgiving! I guess we'll see how bad it turns out. I would rather see snow instead of ice...that's for sure!!

Before I get to my card, I wanted to share a special announcement. The Greeting Farm will be having a CYBER MONDAY BLOG HOP!

You've asked for it….we've listened! TGF is excited to be sponsoring a fun Cyber Monday event! Since a lot of you will be online shopping anyway (and good for you for avoiding the crowds, haha!), why not head on over to the TGF BLOG for some fun, holiday cheer!

We are waiting until December rolls around to introduce all things Merry and Bright, and wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving full of gratitude and grace! However, once December is here, we'll be ringing it in with a bang! Since there's no December release, we are finding our muse in a different way…with all of YOU! 

WHAT: An all-customer HOLIDAY HOP! 

WHEN: Monday, December 2nd, at 12:00 NOON (CST) 

WHERE: The TGF Blog, and your blogs! 

HOW to SIGN UP:

Visit The Greeting Farm Facebook page starting TOMORROW (Saturday 11/23) at 10am. We will have a SIGN UP where you can leave your BLOG ADDRESS/URL. All participants must be willing to have their posts up at 12:00 noon CST, as this will be a large hop and there will be a lengthy list created to post all of the blogs in one place for you to scroll through. (if you do not have a FB account, email Jess). 

SIGN UP deadline is THANKSGIVING DAY. Because of the preparations, we can not take any signups past 11:59pm CST on Thursday, November 28th. 

PRIZES: 

We will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to one RANDOM winner who participates in the hop, along with a 2nd prize of a 4x6 set, 3rd prize of a single rubber set, and some 'honorable mention digis' for creativity and design at the discretion of the Design Team. 

We are SO excited to make the season BRIGHT! Hope to see a TON of you sign up for this! 

Now onto my card for today's FFF Challenge. I used the super adorable Beanie Ian! I love him and think he's soooo stinkin' CUTE!! And what better way is there to enjoy snow than snuggled up with a warm cup of hot chocolate...YUM!! My dps are from Echo Park Tis The Season 6x6 Paper Pad. The snowflake border is from Joy Crafts. The Snowflake Doily behind Beanie Ian is from My Favorite Things.
