More Greetings Farm Cards to Share

Just wanted to share some cute new Anya card samples with all of you...


The first card is a shaker card by Kelli. The background paper she used is by Island Paperie. If you look closely, you can see that its a photo of coral. Included in the shaker portion of the card is a laser cut crab designed by Island Scrapbooking. Just as Ariel had Sebastian, Mermaid Anya has her crabby friend to keep her company.


Other supplies used:
Mermaid Anya- The Greetings Farm
Rectangle frame- Spellbinder dies
Markers- Copics






The next card was designed by Debi, our newest class instructor! She used one of the girls from the Miss Anyas set. The base of the card was cut using the Spellbinders scallop circle dies and the Anya image was mounted on Doodlebug glitter paper. Don't ya just love the contrasting colors she used?





Lastly, this card was made using the Teacher Anya stamp. Normally she's holding an apple but the apple was covered with a cupcake since it was a birthday card.


Other supplies used:
Scallop circle die- Spellbinders
Cupcake die and Happy Birthday Sentiment- Sizzix
DP- Doodlebug
Cardstock- Bazzil
Markers- Copics

One Small Step For Ian...One Giant Leap Of Creativity!



Isn't Kelli amazing?? She creates the most funnest cards ever.... Yes, I said funnest, I'm making up words again.

Anyway, Kelli used Astonaut Ian and some ingenuity to create this card. The space ship and moon were cut using the Cricut. Stars are actually Hero Arts flower crystals. The coolest thing about this card is Ian actually moves! Not sure if you can see the hand in the photo, but there's a lever on the side that allows you to move Ian up and down on the moon. Cool-ness! (yes, another made up word). Oh yah, in case you are wondering... the bungee cord she attached to Ian is actually a Mizuhiki cord. Stop by the store to see the sample up close! Stay tuned for more card samples...

Skater Ian and Fairy Chloe

If you've been waiting for Skater Ian to get back in stock at the store, better hurry in cause he's rolling out fast! This card was designed by Tracy using some cool brick background paper by Stamping Station. She "graffitied" the wall using a white uniball gel pen. What a cool way to add a sentiment to your card! She accented the background using the circle embossing folder by Cuttlebug.






This Fairy Chloe card was designed by Kelli. She used Copics to color in Chloe and accented her wings using Stickles. The Bazzil cardstock was embossed using the swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder to add some texture to the card. The DP used is by Die Cuts With a View and the background paper is by Bazzil (Swiss Dots). The card was accented with Hero Arts flowers and pearl bling.






Stay tuned for more Anya Samples later this week!
