Crafty Files #3 : Shaped Cards and Tags

Happy Thursday! Today I am hopping online to show off the new card I created for this week Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm. This week, the challenge was to make a shaped card or tag. I created an easel card for the first time, using one of my favorites, Fleur Anya!!

I also played around with some mixed media ideas, using different paper to stamp on. It was a little challenging but I think it gave the card a vintage vibe :-)

I also received some "happy mail". Some flower dies I ordered came in, so I had to test them out. I had never made flowers before; it was a pretty tedious task to be honest, but I loved the results!

Thank you for stopping by to see my creation!

Crafty Files #2: Back to School

Today I am linking up with another Farm Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm blog. This week's theme was to make a card to represent back to school. As a teacher that is CLEARLY what is on my brain these days, so I decided to use Teacher Anya!

Here is my entry. 

I am really getting the hang of card making. And a new pair of scissors did the trick, so "fussy cutting" was not my demise-yay.

Crafty Files #1: Christmas in July

Confession: I almost ALWAYS have to be creating something.

My most recent interest include Copic Markers, 

Digital/Rubber Stamps....and Cardmaking.

Spoiler Alert: My two worlds are colliding!

Anyway, one of the stamp companies I am digging on lately is called The Greeting Farm. Every Friday or so they host a Challenge on their blog. I am pretty new, so I have been watching from afar.

Until this week- CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Farm Fresh Friday: Christmas in July

I usually use digital stamps, so this was my 

VERY FIRST time even stamping an image....

It was also MY FIRST TIME...using my Greeting Farm Stamps.

I think it came out pretty cute, though cutting out those images with an EXACTO was not my idea of a good time. 

I definitely see cut files in my future.

Any of you guys crafty?
