Guest Appearance at The Greeting Farm

I was featured on The Greeting Farm again today - so exciting to have been asked to create some projects for them.  This time I made a spinner card our of their super cute polar bear.

Check it out!

More Fall Fun with The Greeting Farm

I really enjoyed making my fall card the other day so I thought I would share the process in a YouTube video.  I started out by filming two backgrounds using the Nuance Powders from Magenta (a canadian company!) with the beautiful fall colours.  And then I stamped out a couple of my Greeting Farm images to colour in.

For the first background I put blue in it by accident, but it still turned out so pretty.  I coloured my image with a little bit of blue to bring out the colour.

The second one was just perfect with the little touch of green.  both of the them were framed with the scalloped card front from Mama Elephant and adding a little banner with an image.

The funniest part was I didn't realize until I was colouring out the last image Evie from the Super Secret Stamp Club that she is holding a phone and not a coffee mug like I thought.  I had to have a second take when I noticed the little dot in the top right hand corner and realized that that was the camera from her phone - too funny!!

Check out my video for the background and colouring process.  I did show my peerless water colours and how I use them when colouring images like this.  And don't forget to subscribe when you are over there =)  I will be having a giveaway soon to celebrate my growing subscribers.

A Quick Easel Card

I wanted to play with my new Impression Obsession dies that I picked up at Scrappin Great Deals, so I made this super cute card =)

I chose "thinking of you" and used both the sitting above and hanging below words.  They are awesome, I even picked up the christmas sayings too.

To finish off the card I used Tress from The Greeting Farm.  She is so super sweet!!

To pick up these dies please visit Scrappin Great Deals.  You can find them under Tools and Impression Obsession Dies.

And as usual for a closer look check out my youtube channel - link is on the side of my blog.

Using your Halloween Stamps in Other Ways...

So, everyone knows that I love Halloween and I especially love Halloween stamps but I wanted to show you how you can use your Halloween stamps for projects that are not Halloween.

I decided to make a room sign for my son who then decided he wants to hang it on the craft room door.  So there are only monsters allowed in the craft room!!

I used some chipboard to make the sign and then cut out two pieces shaped like wood - all three pieces were covered with patterned paper from DCWV and inked with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I also used some brads that have screw heads on them and distressed them with black ink to bring out the design.  I used the four little monsters from the Greeting Farm Spooky Kit which you can get the Not2Shabby on Zibbet.

I just love how it turned out - very simple to make too =)
Here are the copic markers I used for each of the little monsters.

Hidden Surprise Card!

I was playing with the Twisted Kit from the Greeting Farm - again =) and came up with this super easy hidden surprise card.  When you pull the first tier of the cake you find Celeste - so super cute!!

It is a nice clean and simple card, I decorated with some old large sequin flowers that I found while I was cleaning up my craft room.  And the little metal tag and flower eyelets that came from the Eyelet Outlet.

I added some Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to Celeste.  Just love how she turned out.  Check out my youTube channel for more details and head on over to Not2Shabby for some awesome stamps.  Everything is still on sale right now for 15% off and if you use my GDT code "SARAH" you will get an additional 10% off - woohoo!!

Twisted Kit Cards

Here is my 2nd project for Not2Shabby on Zibbet using the Greeting Farms Twisted Kit.  These guys are so super cute and I just wanted to do some boy birthday cards.  After doing so much girly stuff it is hard to figure out what to do.  I had to ask Jonathan if it was okay to add sequins to the boy cards - lol.

Don't forget the Twisted kit is on sale right now for 5% off - $45.60 and with my coupon you get another 10% off that price.  (SARAH)  Head over to the shop now to get your kit -  Not2Shabby!

Now for my cards.  Since I am decluttering right now I picked out some very cute boy paper.  And also a star spellbinders for matting the little boys.  The tag die is from MFT and then sequins from the dollar store.

Here is a little close up of each of the little boys.  One blond, one brunette and one red head =)

Here is the copic colours used on all the images.  As always if you would like a closer look please hit the link to my youTube channel on the right.

Accordian Bean

I was playing around with different folds for cards and came across the accordian card fold from Splitcoaststampers.  The card base has been sitting on my desk for weeks just staring at me - so finally I matted it up and added some super cute Beans from the Magical Bean kit (which you can still buy right now at the Greeting Farm or Not2Shabby).

 It is so adorable!!  I added some black doily dies from My Favorite Things and some spellbinder shapes with the stamped sentiment.  All the paper is from the Citrus Stack from DCWV.

You can see the sparkle from the Wink of Stella on the images and the black doilies.
Check out my youtube channel from a close up look!

Here is the colic marker colours that I used on these two images.

It's about time...

Wow, it has been a long time!!

Well I've still been crafting but mostly posting on my youtube channel which I am happy to say is up over 1500 subscribers.

I thought I would come over here and give you some pictures of what you've been missing out on.  And I promise that I am going to keep sharing with you.  Life gets pretty busy but if I don't find time to craft I am definitely not a happy person to get along with =)

I have recently purchased quite a few new stamps from Simon Says Stamp, the Greeting Farm, Mama Elephant, Some Odd Girl and much more.  I made it a goal to make something with everything that I buy and start using up some of my stash.  No use keeping it lying around to look at when I could use it on some amazing projects.

Anyways, here are some of the cards that I have made recently.  If you want to take a closer look just head over to my youtube channel and check out my video's.

Hope you keep watching, I have some exciting news coming in July!!

Happy Papercrafting!
