Forest of cards

Well I got to play with my new stamps today. So this is my first "official" post as a DT member for The Greeting Farm. I'm starting with the stamp set "Forest Friends" and I think they are the cutest woodland creatures I ever saw!! I couldn't wait to get these stamps and make some cards.

I didn't have any background type stamps so I resorted to making one up! So I drew the trees coloured them with markers and chalked in a sky.


For the chipmucks I thought it would be funny to put a giant acorn behind them. So I got out my pencil and made myself an acorn big enough to fit a card!

Supplies
Stamps-Forest Friends-The Greeting Farm
Paper-Making Memories and digital papers I printed off
Pantone/Prisma markers
Ranger-Vintage Photo ink

Forest of cards part 2

The Forest Friends stamps from The Greeting Farm also come with an Owl. This is my first time making cards using an owl stamp and somehow I ended up with 3 cards! The sleepy owl card is my favorite, just looking at him makes me want to yawn!!


Here are two love birds....er I mean love Owls!

Since I don't have a tree stamp I made up my own! Lots of sticthing and distressing and my tree is fit for an owl!

Supplies

Shabby summer cards

Just a couple more fun paperpiecing cards. I hand drew the cherry and watermelon myself. I'm really loving making shapes out of pattern paper. The hard part is making the card to go with the shape I made! LOL.

Shabby baby


I really wanted to make some baby cards today but I just didn't have any baby stamps so I made some paperpiecings. Then I thougth I'd add lots of stitching and inking to make the cards kinda vintage shabby looking.
The ducks and sheep were hand drawn by me.

Club Anya blog hop

Welcome Blog hoppers! Are you having fun? I know I will be, stopping by everyone's blogs and seeing what they created. Speaking of creating here are some bookmarks I made using Miss Anya stamps. I wanted the bookmarks to be protected so I used clear sheets from ShortCuts and sandwiched the bookmarks between them. Then I stitched around the edge to keep them in place, plus I love stitching!!

And here's Digi Grad Anya.

Supplies:Miss Anya stamps-The Greeting Farm, Clear sheets-ShortCuts, pantone markers.

Interactive get well card

Have you ever visited someone's blog and saw something that made you say to yourself "now why didn't I think of that"? Well I visited Liegh O'Brien's blog and said just that. She altered a children's toy and put it on a card. So I just had to try one for myself. And just incase you want to make one I've included a tutorial on how I put one together.

In the Dog house

Good monday morning! I hope you like my little project this morning, I've challenged myself to use ShortCuts gift card holders in creative ways other than to hold a gift card. This gift card holder holds a coupon. I was thinking of my husband when I created it!! I took a gift card holder from ShortCuts and made it into a coupon holder. The coupon gives my husband a "free pass out of the dog house". I hope he uses it wisely..LOL.

My husband is getting this card for Father's Day. Do you think he'll like it? hehehehe
