TGF Preview Day 3: Sing Hello

Last day of previews before the big blog hop! If you haven't been following along you can stop by The Greeting Farm's blog and start from the beginning of the previews to absorb maximum awesome adorableness! If you have been following along you know this is the last but not least set in the release (which will be in stores on the 15th!) Today's clear set is called Sing Hello and it may well be my favorite of all three!

I used a no line watercolor technique and my distress markers to give this little cutie pie a soft look. The papers I used are actually scraps of paper that I stamped the little stocking from the set in a repeating pattern and added shadows and light with my copic markers and a white gel pen. The candy cane striped paper was made by using a ruler, a versamark pen and white embossing powder, fun right?  The dies I used are spellbinders lacy circle and lala land crafts stitched circles. I used my TH spun sugar distress ink to ink around the edges of the die. The best part about these adorable little sets? I forgot to mention, they all come with their own dies, so no more fussy cutting! The sentiment I used is actually made up of two separate sentiments included in this stamp set, combined to make one adorable new sentiment that goes so well with this adorable kiddo. Remember, this is the last preview before the hop so keep an eye out on TGF's page for your chance to win the whole release during the blog hop!

TGF Preview day 2: Let it Snow

Can you feel it guys? The excitement in the air, the buzz that comes knowing winter is only a hop skip and a jump away? Can't stand the wait? Well I've got great news, another wintery preview and the best news is that you won't even need to wait till Christmas to get your hands on these awesome little clear sets. Excited yet? Well wait no longer, here's my preview for you guys of the new Let it Snow Clear set from The Greeting Farm!

Isn't this little polar bear just the cuddliest thing you've ever seen? I wanted to keep his coloring soft so I pulled out my distress markers and watercolored this little guy. After adding a bit of diamond glaze to the cocoa in his cup and his adorable little pink nose I decided something was missing still. I stamped a little hat from the same set onto a small piece of watercolor paper, watercolored it with my distress inks also, fussy cut it out and adhered it with a dot of diamond glaze. As usual, I couldn't resist adding a bit of sparkly cheer, so I added stickles to the white parts of the little hat and my wink of stella brush pen for a subtle shimmer on his scarf. These new releases are seriously making me excited for the winter season, even though I actually HATE the cold, crazy huh? See you guys tomorrow for one last preview before the blog hop!

TGF Preview day 1: Happy Winter

Hi there bloggers! It's that time again, time for a new release preview and as usual stay tuned all week for your chance to win the entire set! First up is this super fun set that gets me in the mood for hot chocolate and toasty warm flannel pajamas, the Happy Winter clear set from The Greeting Farm! This set comes with so many different pieces to mix and match and play around with, you can seriously get many different looks from this one set. For my card today I decided to forgo the adorable kiddos in their marshmallow jackets (part of the set) and go for a CAS card with no coloring GASP! No coloring? Yes even I must try something new. Besides, these kinds of cards are great for mass production when you want to make a bunch of cards but don't have much time!

I chose the two trees from the set and stamped them on a piece of bazzill heavyweight cardstock in the color marshmallow. I added a bit of sparkly green chevron cardstock from my scrap pile to the top and bottom to add a bit more character. The tall tree in the middle was stamped in Lilly Pad dye ink by Ranger and the smaller trees were masked off and stamped repeatedly in Electric Lime dye ink (also by Ranger) I used a small star from the set to stamp a yellow star at the top of my tree and added a bit of yellow stickles to make it sparkle. I also added some christmas red stickles to the heart shaped bulbs on the tree because I truly cannot help myselfe :D

Ok I know I said I decided to forgo using the adorable kiddos in the marshmallow jackets from the set but I just couldn't resist! Here's a quick book mark I whipped up using the same set! Enjoy!

Remember to pop over to the rest of the DT's blogs and check out their cute creations!
