THE GREETING FARM: Hey Book Lover

Hello Farmers! Heather here with a fun way to make it easy to craft and create a little more often. One of the tricks that I like to do whenever I stamp out anything for cards, is to stamp more images than I need. I keep those extra sheets of stamped images with my The Greeting Farm stamps, and when I want to color something without breaking out the stamping tools, I just dig through those images first. 

When I looked through the images that I had already stamped, I came up with a fun idea using three sets: Bookish Kids, Caffeine Critters, and Book Lover. I then hunted down some fun back to school papers, and used a fun foiled sentiment to finish off the card. 

 

Once everything was colored and cut out, I used a craft knife to cut around the hand, then used some foam tape to pop the coffee cup in the boys hand. I then popped the boy on some foam tape so he stands out in front of the bookshelf. Adding a little shadow under everything makes the scene more believable.

Once everything was placed, I just added the sentiment and the card was complete! I hope this little trick helps you create more with your The Greeting Farm stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

For my card today, I used Be Cappy! I really wanted to create a scene using a few stamps, and decided to just draw everything. I created a lake effect using a mix of Copics and white Posca markers, then created a hillside going back into a grove of trees using just Copics. 

Once everything in the background was colored, I colored the stamped capybaras, I cut those out and adhered them with foam tape. I handcut a few banners, and stamped the sentiments and also used foam tape for those.  ~ Heather

THE GREETING FARM: You Make Me Happy!

For today's project, I wanted to play with a stamp set that I had purchased from The Greeting Farm a little bit ago, You Are My Sunshine. Currently,You Are My Sunshine is out of stock, but if you would like this retired stamp to be brought back for a future Farmer's Market - use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know!  

The start of this card was pretty simple. I stamped and embossed the little woodland creatures, then colored each of them with Copics. Once everything was colored and cut, I layered some pieces from one of the fabulous Diamond Press card kits I have, cutting the vellum to create contrast. Once everything was layered, I stamped the sentiment and used foam tape to give the characters more dimension  

If you would like to see theYou Are My Sunshine stamp set again, use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know! 

 

Thank you for stopping by, and happy creating!
