The Greeting Farm May Release: Day 2

So hopefully you guys have had a chance to look at the new release previews from day one right? Good! Then lets get on with it, are you ready for more cute??? Day two is sure to make you hop with delight! Introducing the next two sets, "Hoppy Hello" and "Cuddly Thanks"!

See super adorable right?! I could barely stand it when I first saw them and definitely could not wait to show you guys! For the cute little bunny I pulled out my copics. He was the perfect size to practice coloring fur and I had a ball. I paper pieced his scarf from a bit of chevron paper to match the strip I used on the top of my card to stamp the accompanying sentiment onto . I also used the butterfly and patch of grass that came with the set to make a simple little background. For the little fox, once again I heat embossed him in white onto a piece of water color paper along with the tree stump from the set and watercolored him with my TH distress markers. When he was all dry I ran him through my big shot machine using the coordinating dies to cut both images out. I used a small piece of foam tape to adhere the sleepy little cutie to the tree stump and give it a little dimension . I also stamped the hearts and accompanying sentiment onto a watercolored background I prepared just as I did for yesterday's cards. I think that little fox is my absolute favorite. Coincidentally he's also the first image I tried the watercoloring with white embossing powder as well as the first set of this release I inked up! Don't forget to stop by the TGF blog and overload on cuteness when you see what the gals have come up with! See you tomorrow for our last preview for May's release aaaaand blog hop!

The Greeting Farm May Release: Day 1

Happy Hump day farmers! Coming at you today is a little hump day treat in the form of a release preview!!! And what’s better than one treat? TWO! So what do you say, are you ready for today’s awesomely adorable and oh so sweet previews? Well the wait is over, let’s get this party started shall we?

Our first clear set of the preview is called “Tweety Pie” and it’s just as tweet as can be (see what I did there?) The second is a treat to satisfy any sweet tooth, the beyond cute clear set, “Happiest Bday”! There will be 6 new clear sets coming out this FRIDAY and all 6 have a coordinating DIE SET so you won’t have to fussy cut your stamps if you don’t want to!! And since I've been on a watercoloring kick lately, you bet your tweet frosting I watercolored the heck outta these sets, check it out!

Don't you love the way watercoloring looks paired up with white embossing powder? Its such a fun and unique look, I fell in love the first time I saw it and couldn't wait to give it a try! The backgrounds were created by using a technique I found here. It's super simple and comes out gorgeous every time. I honestly can't get enough of these sets and the fact that I didn't have to cut anything out by hand was a huge bonus! I was excited and sad when TGF came out with their coordinating cut files because my die cut machine doesn't have the ability to use them, so I was still stuck fussy cutting everything.With these adorable clear sets, All I had to do was emboss, watercolor, and run it through my big shot machine and voila! Adorable images just waiting to be mounted to a card front! Have you had a chance to stop by TGF's blog today and check out what else the DT gals have to wow you? If not, head on over there and check it out! See you later!

lots-o-love
