Hello, TGF Fans!!
Welcome to my little stop on The Greeting Farm's 'Cyber-Monday Celebration Hop', featuring US---The Greeting Farm customers :-)
I'm so super excited to be playing along with a handful of other TGF lovers!!
We've each spent time in our crafty spaces creating with some of our favorite TGF products, and today we get to share those creations with you in an EPIC Holiday Hop!!
Here's what I've come up with...
This sweet little tag was inspired by the word 'sparkle' on the My Favorite Thing set from the Oliver & Amelia range.
You may have noticed that I've done a little body swapping to create my very own mix of TGF characters for this tag---Amelia's body and Twinkle Bean's head. I LOVE how she turned out!!
Sparkle indeed.
Here's a peek at the back of the tag...
Aaaaaannnnddd, here's a peek at 'Amelia Bean' herself...HA!!
For this tag, I've used the sketch from the December Challenge over at UmWowStudio as inspiration. YES!! I've actually used a sketch. I've never been very successful at using sketches, but I think this one worked!
Here's a peek at the sketch, and how I've translated it into inspiration for my tag...
#1 - Clip! Even tho' the sketch is showing a paperclip, I think this mini clothespin works.
#2 - Horizontal strips of patterned paper, with a focal image/photo (in this case, a colored image).
#3 - Splatter!! 'Nuff said.
#4 - A sprinkling of stars. DREAMY!
#5 - A circle element. Instead of flair, I went with doodled circles.
#6 - A strip of vertical paper along the edge.
#7 - Polka dot paper.
Here's a quick list of products I've used:
My Favorite Things stamp set (RETIRED) & Twinkle Bean stamp (RETIRED) - The Greeting Farm
Vintage Christmas 6x6 inch paper pad
Star Confetti & Circle Confetti Mask - UmWowStudio
Caribbean Blue Flat Fabio & Danny Zuko's Denim Flat Fabio - Lindy's Stamp Gang
And finally, if you're TOTALLY diggin' the wrapping on the gift in the first couple photos above, here's a little tut on how to up-cycle yourself a little Holiday Garland LOVE.
