The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: MY CARE TEAM

Happy Thursday friends! I'm back today for The Greeting Farm showcasing this newly released set called MY CARE TEAM. It is the perfect set for all the doctors and nurses who care for you and your family. I love all the different characters...from patients to doctors to nurses!

 

The cute paper at the top of the card is of course digital paper! I used a set I found on Etsy located here. The scallop border was made using a die from My Favorite Things. I raised all 3 characters on foam tape for extra dimension. 

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites! You're going to LOVE them all!

The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: TRICK OR TREAT 3

Happy Wednesday friends! Today's project is a Pop-Up Box Card! I always love these cards and have such a fun time making them. I'm hoping to make more of them over the next few months. This spooky one features a new release from The Greeting Farm called TRICK OR TREAT 3. I used the girl monster, clown, and the mini ghosts from the set.

 Copics:

  Girl Skin: E50, E00, E01, E02, E11, E13, E04
Purple: V12, V15, V17, BV08
Orange on Girl: YR04, YR07, YR09, E19

Orange Hair: YR02, YR09, E19
Red: R24, R27, R29, R59
Gray: C2, C3, C5

I get asked quite a bit about how I find coordinating papers for my projects. For me, digital papers and scrapbook kits make things easy peasy! One of my favorite digital companies is Mindy T Design Studio. Her kits are amazing and include not only digital paper, but also tons of embellishments and sentiments. This project features the Wicked Halloween Digital Scrapbook Kit. It has 17 digital papers and 44 embellishments including those awesome sentiments! I'll have more projects featuring this kit later in the week.

The great thing about this Pop-Up Box Card is that it folds flat for mailing. Pretty nifty, huh?!

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites! You're going to LOVE them all! 

Hugs,

Rosie

 The scallop frame die is from My Favorite Things. I raised the girl and all three snowmen on foam tape for extra dimension.

C.C. Designs: OCTOBER & NOVEMBER

The SEPTEMBER RELEASE from C.C. Designs is once again AH-MAZING! Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to grab your faves today. There are lots of things on sale also! Today, I'm showcasing the Halloween critters from the October and November Clear Stamp Set. Aren't they adorable?

 

 

 I found some fabulous Halloween Digital Paper on Etsy from RebeccaBDesignShop, and used that to create my background scene. Digital papers make it soooooo easy!! I then used a craft knife to carefully cut out the paper from the window panes and spider web. I stamped the tree/moon onto Xpress It Cardstock and colored the night sky and moon with Copics. Next, I taped the tree scene behind the window. The characters are raised on foam tape for added dimension.

 

 

Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store and check out all the deals!

The Greeting Farm STAMPtember 2019 Exclusive Collaboration!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm so excited to share my latest project with you using the exclusive stamp set created by The Greeting Farm for Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember 2019! What exactly is STAMPtember?

STAMPtember is a special celebration of stamping hosted by Simon Says Stamp that lasts all month long! You'll find special new products, industry collaborations, prizes, supersized inspiration, education and so much more! Join us in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of STAMPtember! This product has been designed to inspire and delight you in making your projects. It's available exclusively at Simon Says Stamp while supplies last.

 The set today from The Greeting Farm is called TO ALL OF YOU! While I was out shopping at a craft store, I found these adorable snow globes so (light bulb moment) I decided these adorable penguins would look great inside! I colored these cuties with my Copic markers. Then I remembered I had this awesome die set from Sizzix called Holiday Shadow Box Thinlets. I used several of the dies to create the snow globe scene.

I glued some of the little foam balls onto the bottom piece that goes inside the globe, and then added more loose foam balls so you get some action when you shake it. I found some wood decorative paper and glued a strip to the bottom lid. To get the Merry Christmas sentiment to stamp straight on the label, I cut it apart from the top words and then straightened it on my acrylic block.

Here is a side view so you can see some of the dimension. There are 3 little glittery hills. The front two penguins are glued to the first hill. The small tree is glued behind the second hill. The penguin in the back is glued to the front of the third hill with the large tree glued behind the hill. I also found a bottle of snow writer so I used that to cover the trees and make the round snow balls on the tree

 

Remember, you can only purchase this set from Simon Says Stamp. Since it was designed exclusively for this event, it will not be available at The Greeting Farm for purchase. Once this set sells out at Simon Says Stamp, it will NOT be available for purchase down the road.  

Head over to the Simon Says Store to grab yours NOW before it sells out!

Rosie
