Hey everyone! I am finally ready to start launching a project I have been working on for months! And it all starts with a new facebook group called Cards and Colour! I will have to approve you into the new group, just to save me the headache of all the sunglasses ads and load ads and all that garbage!

There are lots of fun things coming for this group that are in the works but to get us started there will be 1 – 2 live videos done in the group on colouring and cardmaking tips and tricks per month!

Hope to see you there! Share with your friends if you wouldn’t mind!

Hey everyone! It is day 3 of previews for The Greeting Farm! Today we have a fantastic set for you all called Get Well Soon!

tgf-get-well-soon-wm

I stamped a sentiment from the set in Versa mark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder! Using Distress Inks and Clarity Stamp Stencil brushes I created the background. I cut a circle out of white card stock and used foam tape to adhere it over top of the background. Using foam tape and Tombow liquid adhesive I added all the little characters. Some faux stitching and this card was complete!

Remember to come back on the 15th when we will be having a blog hop and these stamps will be released!
