Loves Rubberstamps Holiday Blitz Anything Goes!

Hello Friends!  We have the Holiday Blitz going on at Loves Rubberstamps! We have multiple fantastic sponsors for this and great prizes so I hope you will all join in with us!!!

Here is my card share...

This is part of a set of TGF handmade cards I've been for friends and family.  They're so easy to make now that I have quite a bit! :) I kept my card pretty simple just coloring up cute Anya with my Copic Markers and then adding lots of Wink of Stella glitter to her dress and also some white polka dots to the trim.   I also added some glossy accents to her Christmas Tree ornaments which I thought looks pretty cool!  For the sentiment, I stamped it using some versamark ink and then took some gold embossing powder over that to heat set.  It really looks so pretty against the kraft cardstock.  

Here are the Supplies Used:

Cheers Anya - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Santa Express - Doodlebug Designs

Black Tuxedo - Memento

Versamark Ink - Tsukineko

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Have a wonderful day  and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

TGF FFF and Inspiration Day: Happy Holiday Cards!

Hello Friends!  I'm combining my TGF and Inspiration Day posts together as these cards are all part of my last creations!  So how has your week been?  It's been a very busy one for me filled  with holiday events.  I was crafting away all weekend to get some Christmas cards together which I always make for my co-workers and close friends at work.  Every year I have been using a TGF Christmas image which are always the cutest!  They are always enjoyed and so appreciated each year so I don't mind making them at all! :)

So let me tell you about the FFF theme this week which is Non-Traditional Christmas colors!!!  Since some of my cards used different colors other than red and green, I thought they fit in for this challenge.  

Here is one of them...

and here are a few more samples of my TGF Christmas cards this year...

My picks for this year were the adorable Holiday Anya 4 and Cheers Anya!  I'll be sharing my "Cheers Anya" with you tomorrow! :)   Both are perfect for Holiday cards!!!  I even personalize the cards by using favorite colors and coloring hair to match the recipient which is always fun to do!  I hope they will like these cards and I hope you all like them too!  Do you also make personalized holiday cards for co-workers, friends and family during the holidays?  I'd love to see them! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week!

The Greeting Farm September 2014 Release Day: Merry Christmas Blog Hop!

Hello Friends!

Today is September 1st and the adorable holiday  NEW RELEASES are now available in the TGF Store!!!

We welcome Holiday Anya 4, Dollie with Gifts and Winter Greetings/Winter Kindness into the TGF collection and we are so excited to celebrate with you all!

Here is my final September 2014 Release Day card...

Since the Holiday Anya collection is one of my favorites of all time and I just love Holiday Anya 4, I couldn't resist creating another fun Christmas card with her as the star! :)  I challenged myself to again use non-traditional colors since I know I'll be making a ton of traditional cards using this sweet gal when the holidays comes around!  I also love royal blue, red and white together and decided to color her up with my copics in those colors.  I think Anya came out pretty cute and I had fun adding lots of my Wink of Stella in glitter clear to her clothes and glossy accents to the ornaments and star on the tree.   I did some embossing on the card base and then decided to also add some Christmas papers.   I found some royal blue ribbon and matching sequins in my stash at home to finish off my card.  I hope you all like it! :) 

Before we begin today's hop, we have a few special announcements.  We are welcoming ROSEMARY BRIDGES as our DT Coordinator and JONI WILSON as our Guest DT Coordinator/Special Project leader and we are so thrilled!  Jessica will still remain on the farm in some other capacities, but in her own words, she couldn't be more excited about these special ladies.  They have wonderful energy and will do an amazing job in their duties and are also two of the most talented crafters as well!   I'm so excited to work with Rosemary and Joni as well since I've always been a big fan of both of them and their gorgeous TGF creations!   There's more on the blog from Jess about these new changes, but for now... let's get hoppin'!

One lucky winner who visits all of the DT's blogs, comments, and comments on the TGF Blog that they "hopped" along will take home the ENTIRE SEPTEMBER RELEASE!  Wowzers, that's soooooo awesome, right?!!!

Let's kick things off right!  Here we go…

The Greeting Farm September Preview Day #1: Joy for Holiday Anya 4!

Hi Friends!  I'm so excited that today starts the previews for the The Greeting Farm's September 2014 Release!!!  And they're here just in time to get started for the holidays.  I'm sure you're gonna just love all of them.  So today, we are showcasing an adorable holiday stamp called Holiday Anya 4!

Here's my card for you today... 

The Holiday Anya collection is one of my favorites and I love every image!  This one is just sooooo cute and she's now at the top of my list!....My Christmas card list for sure!!! :)  Love how this one has a cute Christmas tree to embellish!  I had so much fun coloring cute Anya up with my copics and kept it simple with making this CAS card.  I wanted to use some bright festive colors and added some polka dots with my gel pen to her headband and dress.  I also added some glossing accents to the ornaments and of course couldn't go without using my favorite Wink of Stella in glitter clear over her outfit. I did some stenciling on the botton of my card which I thought looked pretty cool.  I also added some enamel dots and twine to finish off my card. 

Holiday Anya 4 will be released at The Greeting Farm store on 9/1/2014.  Please check out The Greeting Farm Blog as well as each of my fellow DT gals (Chitra, Lysa, Jodi and Kristina) to see their projects for the Holiday Anya 4 preview.   Each day, they will be giving away the preview stamp of that day so make sure to leave comments today so you can own this super adorable stamp set!

Hope you like my card for this Preview Day #1 and be sure to come by tomorrow for another Holiday cutie for Preview Day #2! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
