Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here with my final blog post, and I'm wrapping up the year with a Christmas card using several of the digital stamp sets available in the store. This pretty Anya from the older Dress Up Winter set was really speaking to me so she became the star of the show that I built the rest of the scene around. After dressing her in the lovely scarf ensemble her outstretched arms seemed to be perfect for carrying gift bags. So I went to the Cheeky Shop set and added the bundles of bags to each of Anya's hands.

Amy here, and today I've made a Fall card using one of the stylish Anyas from the big Anya Combo 2 kit. Because a lot of the cuties in this kit are wearing sweaters and other cold weather apparel, I've been waiting for the right time to start creating with them... and here we are! I instantly fell in love with this beauty and her perfect curl of hair so I decided to put together a charming small town background for her using the Store Fronts and Hello Fall digital sets.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here and I was inspired to create a spooky twist with Anya in Mexico for my card today. With the Day of the Dead celebration only a couple weeks away I thought it would be fun to get Anya all dressed up for the festivities. 

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here and now that we are officially in spooky season I'm all about making fun Halloween cards. This had me reaching for the adorable witchy Beans in the Hocus Pocus kit. Year after year, I slowly whittle away at getting them all inked up. This time around one of the little broom flying witches caught my eye and with her cute pose I thought that it would be fun to pair her with some wee ghosties from the new Boo set.

Amy here, and I figured it was the perfect time of year to add some pumpkin spice to the super cute Coffee Bean stamp kit. I've been saving this curly haired coffee lover, with her sweater and fun sunflower headband, for a fall inspired coffee card. Of course I also went to my TGF digi collection for all of the seasonal background elements that I needed to make this scene happen.

Amy here, and since it is my first blog post for September, this seemed the perfect time to revisit the big Anya Reboot kit and ink up the updated version of Teacher Anya. With the kids all back in school now I thought it would be fun to pair Teacher Anya with one of the sweet students from the Hey Teacher set (which is currently out of stock in the TGF store but can still be found at Simon Says Stamp). Together they make for a really cute classroom scene.

Amy here, and I'm back again with another caffeinated cutie from the big Coffee Bean stamp kit. This time around I was drawn to the Bean wearing a fashionable, wide brimmed summer hat with her carry-out holding a Venti cup for her and her bestie. It was that idea of her surprising a friend with their favorite blend that had me going to my TGF digi collection for the perfect sentiment.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and the big Coffee Bean stamp kit arrived at my place recently so you know I had to ink up one of those cuties right away. There are so many sweet little Beans included but it was this adorable tot with her backwards cap and grande frappuccino, that had just the summer vibe I was looking for.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, with one more Anya Reboot kit card to share before I take a break from it for some other new cuties who are waiting to get inked up. As you can see, this time around I created an updated version of the pretty Princess Anya that originally released back in 2010. Back then, I altered Anya a bit by wiping away her closed eyes before stamping and drawing in open eyes instead. The new card leaves her as-is with her lovely lashes fluttering away. My first card relied on patterned paper to add the castle and critters to the over-all scene but this time around I used a mix of clear and digital stamps to do the same thing.
