On the Farm

Posted on February 20, 2023 by sharon

Today we are “On the Farm” 🙂 On my Facebook live on Friday I chose to play with the On the Farm Bundle and coordinating papers Day at the Farm which you can earn for Free but only till the end of February during Sale-a-bration.

This is a great bundle that you can use to build up a scene on your card. I chose to create 6 cards, 3 simple cards showing off the Designer Series Paper and 3 stepped up cards. Again using the DSP with a touch of stamping. I had a couple of technical issues on my Facebook live but maybe it was more a PEBTAC error – The problem exists between table and chair – that is ME 🙂

I had fun creating all these cards though and I hope you enjoy watching me create the cards.

On the Farm Bundle paired with the Day at the Farm DSP

You can find the video from Friday below. There is a short/quick video that I created at the same time, but I did move the camera slightly so half way through I am on an angle. All the products I have used are in the list at the bottom of this post. It should just be a quick click on the picture and it should take you straight to my store.

Have a great day and I’ll see you next time.

Friendly Gnomes

Posted on February 13, 2023 by sharon

The Friendly Gnomes stamp set coordinate with the Gnomes Dies from the Holiday Mini Catalogue and you can still purchase the dies if you haven’t already. The dies were originally bundled with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and you can see what I created with these last year at this post.

This bundle is so super cute and I love all the cards that we made. The original designs of 5 of the cards are by Ronda Wade, however I did change up the sizing for some of the cards to utilise our A4 card stock size. The last card is my design and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I chose to create a fancy fold with a card inside a card. It is something a bit different which is why I like it so much. What do you think? The Country Gingham Designer Series Paper 6×6″ paper stack works really well with this stamp set.

Friendly Gnomes cards - set of 6. The cards also showcase the Country Gingham designer Series Papers. — Friendly Gnomes Stamp Set and coordinating Dies

This is my long video from my Facebook Live on the Friendly Gnomes.

Queen Bee

Posted on February 3, 2023 by sharon

The Queen Bee Stamp set is one that didn’t really appeal to me when I first went through the Mini Catalogue but after seeing a class that Erica Cerwin created I knew I just had to have it! Below are the projects I created on my facebook live today and I also added in a cute fancy fold card.

In the video below is my very quick video that is only about 8 minutes or so. If you want to watch the full video you can watch that right here. This will give you an overview of how I have created the cards. But if you’d like to watch with some extra directions then you can check out the longer video that is also on my YouTube channel.
