i am a coconut.

i like coffee and you.

Hello, crafty friends! Did you get a chance to purchase COFFEE ANYA from the store? It's not too late for you coffee and Anya lovers out there!

Today, I created a card using Coffee Anya and a sentiment from the CAFFEINE CRITTERS set. I used a coffee embossing folder for the background and die cut a heart from patterned paper. I stamped a sentiment that paired perfectly with the image and colored her up with Copic markers. So fun to use up supplies that I haven’t seen in a while!

Supplies:

Neenah Desert Storm cardstock

Bazzil cardstock

Sizzix embossing folder

Copic Markers: Skin E13, E25, E27, E29; Hair C9, C7, C5, C3; Coffee cup E50, E51, R83, R81

Next, we had adorable bunnies come to the rescue to lift you higher in a set called LET'S GO. Our 3rd set called MINKIE FRIENDS gives you the opportunity to show appreciation to all of your friends who have stood by your side.

I created this A2 size card using some simple patterned papers from my stash. I colored up Anya from COOL COUPLE with red hair and added multiple red accents throughout the card. I really love coloring her locks! So fun! I stamped one of the sentiments from MINKIE FRIENDS and punched it out with Stampin’ Up! Punch. I added a matching strip of paper to ground the sentiment and the colored image. Super easy and simple!

cool couple.

Hello, crafty friends! It's a new month of releases at The Greeting Farm! Most of my projects are full of pinks, reds, and purples as this is the season of love. 💕 Today, we are releasing COOL COUPLE, a set with Anya and Ian and some sweet sentiments.

I created a slimline card for this Valentine project. I chose a color theme of pinks and purples and colored Anya and Ian with matching Copic shades. I absolutely enjoyed coloring up their hair! I grabbed some cardstock scraps and trimmed them into thin strips, lined them up on cardstock for a striped look and die cut that piece with a heart die. It is a great way to use up pretty papers! The script background is the perfect backdrop for this sweet scene. I stamped and punched out one of the sentiments and framed it with another punch to frame it. I used some flat backed pearls to add some interest to the page along with paper flags to draw the eye into the middle of the card.

Supplies:

Copic Markers: skin Ian E11, E23, E25, skin Anya E13, E23, E25, E27; hair W9, W7, W5, W3; purples V04, V15, V17; boots E70, E71, E74; Jeans B29, B28;
Pink and purple shades of cardstock from scraps
Stampin Up! Ink
Flat back pearls: Amazon
Heart die: unknown

sending lots of love.

Hello, crafty friends! I am happy to be sharing a simple card in time for Valentine’s Day! I can’t believe I’m saying that! Is it really already February? Time sure does fly! While I love all things Christmas, I am happy to see so many reds and pinks and sparkles for this time of year!

I colored up one of the digital 2020 GIRLS with the curly hair and added her to a background of distressed music paper. Her hair took the most time but coloring those waves with Copic Markers are very soothing to me. I especially love color black hair! I focus on one wave at a time and after a few minutes, she is transformed. :) I die cut a large pink heart and punched some glitter heart accents for her shirt and the sentiment from the LOVE COUPLE set. What a sweetie she is!
