Have Yourself a Cozy Christmas ~ Santa's Favorite Ian ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm also sharing a sweet holiday card featuring the adorable Santa's Favorite Ian digi stamp set from The Greeting Farm!! I just love playing with digi stamps and building fun scenes.

I combined and resized all the fun digis from the Santa's Favorite Ian digi stamp set in a Word Document. I colored the images up with Copic markers.

Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E95, E97, E09

Hoody: YG11, G24, G46

Jeans: B12, B95

Socks: C0, C2

Chair: C0, C2, C3, C5, E21, E23

Bear: E21, E23, C0, C2, R20, R14, R29

Train Track / Table: E21, E23

Train: N2, N4, R20, R14, R29, Y11, Y15

Stop Sign: R20, R14, R29, C0, C2

Railway Sign: Y11, Y15, C0, C2

Tree: YG11, G24, G46, E23, E25

Wall: BG70, BG72

Baseboard: BG75

Floor: C0, C2, C3

I die cut the panel using a die from the Wonky Stitched Slimline dies from Gina Marie Designs. I adhered the die cut panel to a white slimline card base measuring 8-1/2 x 7"; scored at 3-1/2".

Just like my TGF card yesterday, I originally had the sentiment on the 'wall' in the background, but I wanted it to pop some more so I printed it off again on white card stock, trimmed it and adhered it over the original sentiment. I hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fun on the Farm ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the May release! Introducing Fun on the Farm... today's adorable stamp set has a sweet Ian and Anya all dressed up as farmers with adorable critters and fun sentiments! 

I stamped Ian with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him and the adorable sheep up with Copic markers. I fussy cut Ian and the sheep and then colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R20

Hair: E70, E71, E74

Red Bandana: R20, R14

Shirts: BG10, BG01, BG34, E21, E35

Boots: N2, N4, E21, E35, E25

Sheep: C00, C2, N2, N4

Flower: Y11, Y15, BG10, BG34

I paired up Ian and the adorable sheep with the Doodlebug Designs Down on the Farm 6x6" paper pad. My paper layers are: Brown - 4-1/4 x 5-1/2"; Blue Green - 3-5/8 x 4" ; and the sheep paper is 2-3/4 x 4".

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card stock. I trimmed it and felt like the extra white space needed something. So I stamped the cute little flower included in the set. I colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it leaving a white border.

I added foam tape to the back of Ian and popped him up on the card. I finished it up with a few white enamel dots. The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST! Woohoo! Be sure to come back tomorrow for the release Blog Hop!! One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift card to The Greeting Farm. All you have to do is comment on the hop! Yay!

Oh my goodness, Anya and Ian from the Regency Couple stamp set were SO much fun to color!! I love them! They made me think of shows like Downtown Abbey or the Pride & Prejudice movie. 

I stamped sweet Anya and Ian with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them up with Copic Markers. I fussy cut them both and colored the edge of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I adhered them to a die cut piece of vellum card stock. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

I paired up this beautiful couple with the gorgeous Flora Paper Pad from Carta Bella. I die cut the floral piece and the vellum layer using dies from the A2 Lacy Layers Dies from Waffle Flower. I stamped the beautiful flowers and fussy cut them leaving a white border and then I popped them up on the card with foam tape.

I stamped, trimmed and popped up the sentiment, too. Lots of fun layers for this card! Release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST.

Coffee Couple ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm! Today we have a super cute couple with a coffee theme. So excited for this set!

Need Coffee? YES! Always should be the answer! LOL! I thought it would be fun to create a background with the sentiment so I stamped it several times. And then I ink smooshed the panel with Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Ink. I was pleasantly surprised that the sentiments didn't bleed. Phew. I'm thinking it was because the sentiments had set overnight to dry, but it could also be that I didn't use a lot of water to thin out the ink. Either way... I'm happy with how it turned out. The coffee rings in the background are from my mug that actually had tea in it at the time. Heehee... I just placed my mug in the inky puddle of Ground Espresso ink and then 'stamped' the panel with it. I added a few spatters to the inky background using the rest of the Ground Espresso ink on my table.

I stamped the adorable Ian with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him up with Copic markers. I'm pushing myself to use other markers. I tend to grab the same ones over and over. Not for this card! 

 Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E04

Hair: Y21, E42, E43, E44

Jacket: B91, B95, B97, B99

Hoodie: G82, G17, G29

Yellow T-shirt: Y11, Y15, Y17

Khakis: E30, E33

Shoes: N0, N2, N4

Cup: C00, C2, RV10, RV11, RV04, YR21, YR15

I trimmed the panel and adhered it to a dark brown card base. Fussy cut Ian and colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I added a bit of white gel pen to the eyes. And then I added foam tape to the back of Ian and to the extra sentiment that I had stamped and trimmed.

I popped them up on the card and finished it off with a few brown enamel dots. So fun! The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST... that's tomorrow! Woohoo!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
