Christmas Joy!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday... and Christmas:)! The new Greeting Farm stamps have put me in Christmas mode and given me the perfect excuse to use my all time favourite Make It Crafty backgrounds and to make a little scene! 

I stamped Dollie With Gifts in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Make It Colour Blending Card, masked her, then stamped Make It Crafty Pine Trees three times, using both trees that come in the set. Those trees are also part of the Make It Crafty Winter Backgrounds Collection - a must have for all your winter cards! I coloured my scene in Copics and added one of the sentiments that comes with the Greeting Farm Dollie With Gifts stamp set.

A Couple of Cuties from The Greeting Farm!

Hi all, Elaine here!

I recently created a couple of fun cards with a new favourite stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I thought I would drop by and share them with you over here today. :)

The stamp set is The Greeting Farm - Wild Child and it is currently available over in the Quixotic Paperie store along with lots of other fantastic TGF stamps and sets. As with all TGF images, the characters are a lot of fun to colour up and create with.

The images were stamped on my favourite Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with Copic markers.

Keep your eyes peeled for new arrivals and restocks over at Quixotic Paperie in the next few weeks. There are lots of fun stamps on the way!

Happy crafting!

~Elaine

Spooky!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! As you may have seen the new Tiddly Inks clear stamp sets have reached the store and there are also some great new The Greeting Farm stamps! The Spooky Kit has arrived and has everything you need for Halloween! 

I stamped my image from the Spooky Kit on Make It Colour Blending Card, coloured her with my Copics and cut her out. To make the background, I used watercolour paper, acrylic paint and a cobweb stencil. I then stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Spooky Kit, placed my background on a punched square and added my Greeting Farm cutie on foam pads.

Let's Roll!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! Have you grabbed all the new The Greeting Farm stamps available from the store? I have used mine straightaway! Here is a little card using the Twisted Kit :)

Please meet Twin Marko and Desiree! I thought they would make a nice couple ;) I stamped them both on Make It Colour Blending Card, coloured them with my Copics and cut them out. For the background I used a texture stamp which reminded me of tyre prints and used my airbrush to add some colour to the card. I then airbrushed a die cut heart and added one of the sentiments which comes with the Twisted Stamp Kit.

Believe in magic...

Hello everyone! Today's post is about a garden with a bit of magic in it, some Copics and acrylic paint!

This cutie is from the new The Greeting Farm Magical Beans Kit. I LOVE this kit!! All the Beans are so cute, and there are TEN of them! I stamped this one in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Make It Colour Blending Card, coloured her in Copics and cut her out. The background was made using acrylic paint on watercolour paper. The flowers are from the Tiddly Inks Harmony At Home Set, I stamped them on a piece of watercolour paper, coloured them in acrylics too and glued them to my background. The branches were made with a stencil. And for a nice finishing touch, I added 2 Make It Crafty Mini Dragonflies and a Mini Butterfly chipboard too.

A Make It Crafty Garden and an Anya!

Hello everyone! It's hot and the sun is shining here, so time for "summery spring" inspiration! I have combined some of my favourite Make It Crafty background stamps with an Anya by The Greeting Farm for a little scene in Copics...

I used Spring Branch by Make It Crafty - available as a single stamp or as part of the Spring Garden Collection stamp set - and Make It Crafty Garden Fence. I coloured my background with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card, and on another piece of card, I stamped an Anya by The Greeting Farm, from the Miss Anya Summer set which includes three adorable Anyas. I cut her out and put her on foam squares. I added a sentiment and a Make It Crafty Mini Butterfly Chipboard colored in acrylic paint.

Up Up Bean - and Quixotic Paperie sponsoring

Hello everyone! I am sharing a little card, very little card indeed featuring one of the latest The Greeting Farm stamp available from the store - and to let you know Quixotic Paperie is sponsoring the current Girly Birthdays challenge at Without Words! So if you would like to win a gift voucher to the store, now is the chance! 

My little inspiration card to day is an ATC put on a card blank - I like tiny cuteness! 

I stamped the adorable Up Up Bean by The Greeting Farm on an ATC and coloured her with my Polychromos except for the balloons which were coloured with acrylic paint. For the background, I used Neocolor II. Around the image I added white ink with a texture stamp then rubbed a purple Neocolor II on the borders of the ATC. Then I painted the letters HB2U in acrylic paint and pasted them on the ATC. 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely evening/day! Hugs,

Delphine xx

Love, Live, Laugh...

Hello everyone! It's a The Greeting Farm inspiration post today - have you seen the latest stamps available from the store? They are fantastic! So I have made a little scene featuring one of the Miss Anya Night Out stamps.

There are three adorable Anyas in this Miss Anya Night Out set. I stamped mine onto Make It Colour Blending Card, coloured her with Copics then cut her out. On another piece of Make It Colour Blending Card, I stamped the row of houses which is from The Greeting Farm Dreamy Kit and coloured them with Copics as well. The sentiment I added is from a Tiddly Inks set - I thought the little hearts matched the houses well. 

That's all from me today! Thank you very much for your visit, enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Hugs,

Anya Blooms

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I'm back with some flowers and a very cute but big Anya, one I particularly love and would like to dedicate to Elaine who will know why :) 

This cutie is Anya Blooms by The Greeting Farm and for a little change, I decided to colour her using pastel pencils. For the little corners, I used my Greeting Farm Tulip Border die. It is one I love because the tulip border includes a very cute heart border and I have cut 4 little hearts from it to be used as corners. 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great Sunday! Hugs,

Merry Christmas Wishes

Hello everyone! It's not Sunday but I am here with a special post today, to wish you all a Merry Christmas from Quixotic Paperie! We hope you have had/ are having a wonderful time and enjoying the day! For sweet Christmas Wishes, I am joined by two cuties by The Greeting Farm...

I used Oliver and Amelia from the Surprise Stamp Set, stamped them onto Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured them with Copics. I cut them out and put them on 3D foam squares. The sentiment is from another set by The Greeting Farm called Sparkling Season - I stamped it twice to put the elements of the banner on foam squares as well for a bit of dimension. 

Thank you very much for your visit and thank you also for all your support! Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy Holidays! Hugs,

Delphine xx

Warm Wishes

 

Hello everyone! I'm here to share some more wintry inspiration today, with a simple scene combining one of my favourite Make It Crafty winter backgrounds and a cute Anya by The Greeting Farm.

I stamped my Anya from the Greeting Farm Miss Anya Rain Snow Shine set onto Make It Colour Blending Card, masked her, then stamped the Make It Crafty Winter Seat (available individually here or in the Winter Backgrounds Collection Set). I coloured my scene with my Copics and added a sentiment from another Greeting Farm set called Keep Cozy - I only used the sentiment but this "old" set includes the most adorable snowmen, simply perfect for quick CAS cards.

The DPs are from the Echo Park Very Merry Christmas pack and I added a Make It Crafty Snowflakes Chipboard, as I like doing on my winter cards. There are lots of different MiC snowflakes chipboard still available from the store, but remember, once they are gone, they're gone!

Sending Happy Blessings

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here to share a 100% Greeting Farm card I made with one of the beautiul Big Anyas - I just love them! 

I used the Anya Celebrates set, stamped Anya onto Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured her up with my Copics. I added a sentiment which comes from this same Anya Celebrates set, and the heart border was made with the Greeting Farm Tulip Border Die - yes, I cut off the tulips to keep only the heart border, which is what I love about this die, it's just like having two dies in one. I then added two little pearls, and that was it!

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely day! Hugs

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today with a little birthday card using the adorable Wryn - August is a busy month for me with LOTS of birthdays, so I'd better be ready!

I used the Tiddly Inks Happy Day clear stamp set for this card. I stamped Wryn on Make It Colour Blending Card, and stamped a little present too. I coloured with my Copics, then cut out my images.

Lovely Day with The Greeting Farm

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here - with some summery Greeting Farm inspiration today. After many rainy days, it is now so hot at the moment, I just felt like colouring a summer image and using bright happy colours!

I stamped the adorable Winky Bean by The Greeting Farm on Make It Colour Blending Card in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured her up with my Copics. For once, I knew which papers I wanted to use and I have to admit it helped... A piece of old double-sided Bo Bunny paper and I cut the two patterns that reminded me of the flowers on my image, added a pearl to them and that was it - simples!

That's all from me today, have a lovely day! Hugs,
Delphine xx
