Blue shabby rhinestone card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This card is using a gorgeous image from The Greeting Farm, I have had her forever but still love this rubber stamp. For this card I used an embossing folder, something I don't actually get out and use very much although I love how everyone else seems to create so beautifully with them. Once I'd embossed the teal paper I lightly went over it with sandpaper so you can see the details better. 

I used some love heart stamps, snowflake die cuts and some Flourish with a Bling - Elise silver flourish, Elise white flower and silver rhinestones. Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Bright and Crisp Birthday Girl Card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, I can't believe I've posted 6 cards tonight! That's a record for me I think. Well, this is the last one and I really like how this card turned out.

I have used a gorgeously girly image from The Greeting Farm, I have created cards with her a few times in the past but not for quite some time so thought she was due for another showing. She is a rubber stamp.

Shabby Chic Umbrella Birthday Girl (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't created a card with this image from The Greeting Farm for a long time so thought now Autumn challenges were about, this little girl with her umbrella is perfect for this time of year. 

I have been raiding any old clothes for zippers at the moment and this is the first time I've used one but I like it. I tore the paper so it kind of (hopefully hehe) looks like the zip goes up and down. I have used pearls and flourishes from Flourish with a Bling. Can you see the little kitty cat under the sentiment, isn't he sweet, I bought him at a craft show.

(my first card created with this image - the tree, leaves, cloud, raindrops and toadstools are all from Flourish with a Bling)

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.

TGF Taylah banner card

What a silly Billy I am, I made this card to fit a few challenges and thought I'd have a card ready for my girlfriend's little girl who's Birthday isn't until December. Her family is very into Aussie Rules Footy and I thought she went for the same team as her brothers and Dad which is a navy blue coloured team. She actually follows her Mum's team which is black and white stripes! Then I've added the "9" but she actually turns 10 this year! Hmmm... so now I need to find a 9 year old girl called Taylah who supports Carlton or this card is just for fun lol.

The gorgeous bling and flower are from Flourish with a Bling and you can buy them HERE.  The sweet girl is from The Greeting Farm and the papers are Echo Park.

TGF Green and pink card

Hi and welcome to all my lovely followers, I now have 150 after having 4 more join me overnight after my last post, I'm so thrilled you like to see my creations! I want to say a special big thank you to Marie and Laura Love who left me such sweet comments as well as all the lovely comments I received, they make my day. 

I have been crafting up a storm so I'll have a few blog posts over the next few days, as Jim Carey says in The Mask, "Somebody stop me!!" lol. I'm sure hubby will be right onto that hehe. 

I have had these gorgeous rubber stamps from The Greeting Farm for the longest time, they were one of my first stamps when I started using copics and I still think they are cute as can be even though I haven't used them in a while. I do find digi stamps a lot easier to use normally but in this case it's easier if you want to paper piece like I have done on his hair and her cap. 

I have used pearls from Flourish with a Bling and if you love pearls you'll love our Rainbow Pearl value pack with 16 packs of different coloured pearls for only $30AUD (AUD & USD are almost identical at the moment) - That's 1600 pearls!!! Check out all our amazing value packs HERE.
