The Greeting Farm Customer Blog Hop


Welcome to the Greeting Farm Customer Blog Hop. There are a lot of amazing stops along the way. Start at The Greeting Farm Blog to get the order. Make sure to leave a comment on all the blogs because one lucky hopper will win all 6 January release stamp sets. Isn't that a wonderful prize.


My first project is a Holiday project. This was a gift for a friends sons. I used Cafe' Ian for the front. I used a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers for the paper behind the image. I used white felt to mount the image. A Stampin Up button frames the sentiment. Walnut Brown & Sulphur Blue Vintage Seam Binding.

This is the inside of the hot coco holder. The cute seal is Robbie Hot Chocolate digi. Pearls were used for the snow.

My second project is an every day card. I choose the color scheme based on 5/8" Orange/Black Solid Dot ribbon. The DSP is Glowing from Authentique that was colored with Distress Ink. The charms were created using Tim Holtz's Tag Day 10. It fits Simon Says Stamp challenge to use techniques learned from Tim's 12 days of tags.


Make sure to go to the TGF blog to get the next person.
