TGF's Double Take Tuesday

Image
By
Hello!  I hope I've scheduled this right.  Daylight savings time stuff always throws me off.  We don't change here but I'm always confused what time it is on the mainland.

Anyway, it is time for The Greeting Farm's Double Take Tuesday.  It's a color challenge this week.  Use Red, Teal and White on your cards/projects.

I used the newly release Sadie for my card.  I stamped my own background using stamps from TGF.  The splotchy parts were heat embossed but in red, not white.  Hehe.  The sentiment says You're my kind of cool.  It was embossed in white.

So maybe you're thinking why her hair highlights are off.  That is what happens when I am coloring and then get interrupted a gazillion times by 3 kids.  I thought about redoing it but figured Sadie is cool enough to pull of this look. 

Okay, please hop over to the TGF blog to check out the rest of the team's creations and join in on the challenge!

Thanks for reading!

Kind of convenient that we don't change times either, just time zones.

Cool card, so neatly grungy! Ha ha, still can't reconcile you and messy! The hair looks nice!

Wonderful card and I wouldn't have noticed the highlights if you hadn't said something...thought it was just her coolness coming out in her hair!

What a sweetie and a fab background you created. I never knew highlights to be even...are they supposed to be?

Snowman gift card holder

By
Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

coffee cup shaped cards

By
Hi!  I think after this post I may need a little nap!  My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately.  And this cooler weather is making me drowsy.  It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps .  It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut.  I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end.  Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes.  I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder.  And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside.  The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set.  I cut that opening with one ...

Knuffle Bunny

By
Hi!  The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges.  I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up.  It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE .  I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category.  It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny .  It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story.  We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series.  Those books are hilarious!  This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books.  I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately.  Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story...
