Funny Farm Blog Hop

Hello my friends!!

Tonight I am hopping with the talented Gina K designers to show you a fun stamp set called Funny Farm. This set has the cutes images, especially the animals! I love their expressions!

For a limited time, the coordinating card kit designed by Jessica Fick is included for free with the purchase of the Funny Farm stamp set. To view the full card kit, visit Jessica's blog post here for all the details.

Lets take a look at the cards I made to share tonight.

Stamps: Funny Farm

Ink: Copics, Tuxedo Black, Ladybug

Papers: Gina K Pure Luxury

Other: Spellbinders Double Ended Labels, Labels,

Sizzix Embossing Folders, ribbon, Silver Nailheads

The farm scene n the background was colored with copics, E39, E31, E33, E34, E35, E37, YR17, YR25,YR21, YR23, YR24, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG95, YG97, R24, R27, C0 , C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7. The animals are colored with Kohinoor pencils and oms. The papers I used are Gina's Pure Luxury Red Hot, Sweet Corn, Grass Green and White. I used the Checkerboard embossing folder on the Green Apple and the Square Lattice on the Sweet Corn.

I almost did not include my next card in my post because I did not like how the lamb looked in my picture. But I did decide to include it and share why the lamb looks as he does. *smile*

Stamps: Funny Farm

Ink: Memento, Copic

Paper: Gina K Pure Luxury

Other: Die-namic Dies, Spellbinders Labels 16 & 17,

Flock, Glue Pen

All the papers are Gina's Pure Luxury. The tree and grass were cut out with Tan Leather and Green Apple. The card base is Little Boy Blue and the lamb was stamped on white. I sponged a bit of Bamboo leaves behind the grass and some summer sky above that for the sky.

Before talk about the lamb I have a question for you...Do your kids or Grandkids sit and stamp with you or hang out with you while you stamp? Well Abbi was sitting with me making cards and chatting up a storm. Given that, let me explain the lamb. I colored his feet, ears, and tail with C4 and C5. His nose with R000, R00, and R11. I used C0 and C1 to add a bit of shadow for his wool and while doing that I decided to cover it with flock after I blended out the shadow. Well Abbi was quite chatty at this point and instead of grabbing my colorless blender, I grabbed my quickie glue pen. Now as you know glue pens do not blend copics so my poor little lamb has a harsh line to him even after I covered him in flock. I plan to fix the lamb by stamping another image and popping it up over the one on the card. Remember, there are no mistakes in stamping! *wink*

Hello stampers!
I can not believe it's been whole week since I last posted! I have been having problems with my blog. Not sure what is going on but I keep getting a server error. I just have to find the time to look into it. Arrgghh! It took me a while but I was finally able to get a post to publish!

Tonight I would like to share a card that I made for a challenge over on Stamp TV. The challenge was to make a note card using these dimensions - 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches.

I used a stamp from Gina K's Funny Farm which was released last week. The images are in this set are so fun! My daughter has been having fun stamping with them too!
I stamped this little farmer gal on Copic X-press It paper and colored her with copics R11, R20, R21, R22, R24, R27, E000, E00, E21, E25, E27, E30, E31, E41, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, W00, W0, and W1. I cut the image out with Spellbinders Labels 3 and 16.

The paper is Gina K's Red Hot and Black Onyx. I embossed the red hot with Tim Holtz's Regal Flourishes embossing Folder. The pattern paper is Basic Grey's Olivia. I finished off the note card with a ruffled ribbon and brads.

Thank you so much for checking in with my tonight and have a wonderful rest of your evening.
