The Greeting Farm - I think you’re Fintastic

Hi Guys! 

So, at the moment as I'm sure a lot of you have heard, my home state of New South Wales, and most of Australia is burning. The entire place is on fire. This is the worst fire season Australia has seen in a lot of years. Currently, over 12 million acres have burned, 23 people have died and over 400 homes have been lost! I am in a small part of the state that has gone unaffected at the moment. So, I am helping to raise much needed funds for the Rural Fire Service (volunteers that fight these fires). I am donating all proceeds less postage of all card sales between now and the 20th of January 2020 to the NSW Rural Fire Service.

To purchase my cards, please head over to my etsy. Or, if you'd like to donate directly to the Rural Fire Service, head to this link - DONATE HERE. 

You can see more information about my donations on my facebook page 

Now, on to my card, and something slightly less terrifying!

This card was made using the stamp Maisea from The Greeting Farm, coloured using copics and fussy cut out. I have then mounted with dimensional adhesive to a patterned paper card base. The papers are from Echo Park, and the local dollar store (the Kraft one)

I have stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock, using Memento Black ink and Kaisercraft Seafoam ink.

Here's a close up of the mermaid, with Copic colours used below.

Skin: E55, E11, E53 and E51

Tail: BG18, Bg13, BG32 and BG11

Get Well Soon - MFT Card

Hello Hello!

I have a card to share today. 

I started with an older stamp set, I have had in my stash for a very long time. I stamped her on three different surfaces, my xpress it card (for colouring), on my backing card, and also on some patterned paper. I coloured her up, adding highlights to the umbrella, which has been paper pieced. I used patterned paper from Echo Park and Simple Stories. 

I printed a sentiment, on the pc, and layered it all up, with doodling all around my patterned papers. I added some sequins to finish off this card.

Lawn Fawn - Dinosaur Birthday Card

Hi guys! 

I have a fun, masculine, birthday card to share

I started by inking up the dinosaur and a bunch of leaves, and palm trees from Lawn Fawn - Critters from the past set, and coloured them all in, using my Copics and Spectrum Noir markers, I then fussy cut them all, and popped them aside. My card is made up of papers from Echo Park, Kaisercraft and Doodlebug. I die-cut a couple of circles, using the Bigshot, and then layered them together. I finished off the card with a few clusters of resin dots.

Hello again 

I've got another card to share today. 

I used a cute My Favourite Things Tutu image, coloured up with my copic markers. I used patterned papers from Echo Park and Amy Tangerine, and layered them up with a doily, some ribbon and a trio of flowers, and button. I love this adorable little tutu image, and I'm surprised it's taken me so long to colour her up. 

Here's the close up

Hi again! 

This is another card I've made this week 

For this card, I dug out a stamp from The Greeting Farm, which is one of my favourites. I love her beanie and teddy bear. I coloured her up, using both Spectrum Noir and Copic Markers, and fussy cut her out. I used papers from Echo Park and My Minds Eye, and the sentiment is from My Favourite Things. I sat her on a doily, to create a girly feel.

Aother Some Odd Girl Valentine's Card

Hi again!

I'm back to share another lovely valentine's card with you!

I started off by grabbing papers out of my scrap box, bits and pieces that were leftover from other projects, off cuts. I popped them all together, and then went to my digistamp folder, where I have a bunch of printed digital stamps, ready for colouring. I found this new release from Some Odd Girl - Crazy Love Tia

 

I coloured her up using a selection of Copic Markers, and Spectrum Noir, fussy cut her out, and attached her using foam adhesive. The sentiment is from my Silhouette, Print and Cut feature. I have attached it to the image using double sided tape. The papers I've used, I believe are from an older Echo Park Valentine's Day collection, that I have still got plenty left of!

Anyway, here is the close up image -

The Greeting Farm - Birthday Card

Hi guys! I have been sick, and overwhelmed with uni work recently, so haven't had a lot of chance to create anything... I did get a new toy to play with in the mail, on Monday... I got one of these, and it's amazing!

It's a Silhouette Cameo, it plugs into the PC and die cuts digital files, much like the Big Shot, and Cricut, without the need for 100's of dies or cartridges! 

Anyway, I've uploaded a few cards to my stores (Etsy + Madeit), so stop by to have a look, now on to my card today

For this card, I used some patterned papers, by Echo Park, Everyday Eclectic (an old collection) and the hot pink at the bottom is from Kaisercraft. I layered them together, and added some gold ribbon. The main image is from The Greeting Farm, and I've coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir markers. I added some paper roses, and sequins, before creating the sentiment, which is a mix of dymo labels, My Minds Eye stickers, The Alley Way Stamps and some hand writing.

Scrapbooking - Nick and I Sydney Trip

Hi guys! I have another scrap page to share, before hopefully sharing a card tomorrow (if I get a chance to photograph it!)

Here is the layout

For this layout, I started with a black card stock base, and painted up a background using shiny gold paint, and a mask. I then grabbed one of my 3 ink sprays and sprayed some gold around. I added some circles using some white paint on a little plastic lid. I added 4 different patterned papers, from Kaisercraft, and Echo Park, a journalling card from October Afternoon, some washi tape, a flair, paper clip and some twine. The tittle is "Happy" which I coloured using my spectrum noir markers and added some gold paint dots. I added a Kaisercraft chipboard window, which I painted and some flowers from D-Lish Scraps.

Here is the close up collage -

Some Odd Girl - Hipster Mae!

Hi guys! Sorry for the quietness on the old blog, I've been spending a lot of time, out and about, and haven't had much time to create, except for custom orders! I have a few cards going up in store today (etsy and madeit) so keep an eye on the stores! Anyway, on to my card

This is Hipster Mae, I had a craft day with a friend recently, where I stamped and coloured a bunch of images... this was one of them. I think she needs to be added to my stash! Anyway, I've used my Spectrum Noir markers, and patterned papers from Echo Park. The sentiment is a mix of Some Odd Girl and Simon Says Stamp.
Here is the close up

I'm not obsessed with Some Odd Girl, I swear...

Hi guys, I've been creating again, this time with.... Some Odd Girl... You really shouldn't be surprised by now, haha... I have two cards to share, using the same layout, but are very different cards -

For this one, which went to my little niece today, I used the digital stamp, horsey Mae and coloured it in with my Spectrum Noirs. I used patterned paper from a no name stack, as well as Webster's Pages. I also used a bunch of loveliness from D-Lish Scraps in paper flowers, and resin roses. I used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp - here is the close up -

The second card, is Puppy Toby, which is also a digital stamp. I coloured him with my Spectrum Noir markers as well, and used papers from Sn@p and Echo Park. The sentiment on this card is from Lawn Fawn. 

And the close up -

Kraftin' Kimmie & Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday card!

Evening!

Just a super quick post tonight, to share a card I made recently! 

For this card, I grabbed a mix of patterned papers, Cosmo Cricket and Echo Park (I think) and coloured my mermaid (Kraftin' Kimmie) up to match. I fussy cut her out, and placed her on a piece of white card stock, that I'd stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp on to. I added a bow, some paper and resin flowers and some rhinestones. 

Here is the close up -

Belated Easter Cards

Hi guys! I've been on prac this last week, and I must say I'm absolutely loving it! I haven't had much time to craft though... Last night though, I had a friend over, who asked for two belated Easter cards... So, I sat and created!  

This one, I used a Greeting Farm stamp, coloured with my spectrum Noir Markers, and patterned papers from Carte Bella, Echo Park and Kaisercraft. I used paper flowers from D-Lish Scraps and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday for this card.

This second card, I printed a digital image, From the Heart Stamps, and coloured it up with my spectrum noir markers as well. I used patterned papers from an unknown company (no brand), and doodled around the edges. I wanted to keep this one fairly clean and simple, with nothing that an almost one year old could pull off, and stick in her mouth... 

I used the sketch from I {heart} card sketches for this one

From the Heart - Digital Stamps - Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Hi! You may not see much in the next two weeks, as I've just started my first prac for my teaching degree (yay!) I did craft last night, and Saturday night though...

 

I started by printing a newly acquired digital stamp, from From the Heart Stamps, and colouring it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then trimmed it out, and set it aside. The patterned papers on this card are a bit of a mix, with Authentique, Kaisercraft and Echo Park. I trimmed them down, mounted them on white card, and of course doodled some borders around them. I added two eyelets to the Echo Park paper, and a trio of buttons, the largest of which has a twine bow. 

Here is the close up

Hi guys! I have a quick giveaway happening over on my FB page, it will be drawn when I return home this afternoon (2pm AEST) All you have to do is comment on the post, of the custom journals!

Anyway, on to todays card!

For this one, I printed out the digi - Birdbrain with Candle, and coloured it up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then doodled around the edges, and set the image aside. For the card base, I used paper by Sn@p and layered it up with some very old October Afternoon, and Echo Park papers. I doodled around all the layers, and stamped a sentiment. I added some twine for some texture, and a couple of rhinestones.

The Greeting Farm & Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Cards

Hi guys! I've been popping things in, and changing things up, in both my madeit and etsy stores, so pop over for a look!

Last night, I was up late, creating a couple of birthday cards... One just for fun, the other because a friend is celebrating their 29th birthday today, and I procrastinated creating ;)

Here is the first one - 

I had to play with my all new patterned papers, from Kaisercraft (OMG, this is an amazing collection!) I grabbed the woodgrain paper, and the giant flower one, and the other paper is Carte Bella. I layered them up, and then decided on the stamp I wanted to use, which is from The Greeting Farm and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I popped her into one of the polaroid frames, from Kaisercraft, and stamped the sentiments, which are a mix of Some Odd Girl and My Favourite Things. I added a bunch of paper and resin flowers. Here is the close up

This one is being entered into -

and

The Greeting Farm - FFF Photo Inspiration

Now, on to the second birthday card, it's a lot different ;)

I printed out the digital stamp, from Bugaboo Stamps, and coloured it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, mounted it on some blue paper from Echo Park, which I'd printed the sentiment straight onto. 

I added a few rhinestones, and some doodling, and called this card done!
