The Greeting Farm --- September Release BLOG HOP

 

The September 2025 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first stamp set called WICKED ANYA features a cute witch with wand ready to add a little hocus-pocus to your projects. Next, we have AMELIA THE BUNNY, a heartwarming set with three delightful bunny illustrations to remind you comfy days are here. Lastly, we introduced HOLIDAY ANYA 13, a festive holiday stamp set with Anya bundled up in a cozy coat with her adorable penguin friend. (PLEASE NOTE: one sentiment in this set contains a small typo so it is discounted. But no worries, you will receive the corrected version as a downloadable digital file!)

For this release, I conjured up another Halloween card starring the fabulously spooky Wicked Anya. I stamped her first and masked her off to let the background magic unfold. Using a splatter stencil, I blended rich shades of Distress Oxide Ink in purples to create a mystical haze behind her.

The sentiment—"I'M UNDER YOUR SPELL"—was heat embossed in black for a bold touch. I added tiny bats and spiders to creep up the scene, and finished it off with coordinating enamel dots in the corners for a pop of Halloween sparkle.

Anya herself was colored with Copic markers, bringing her orange curls, witchy hat, and skull-accented dress to life. The entire scene was then matted with classic black and orange cardstock, tying everything together in true Halloween spirit.

HOLIDAY ANYA 13: The Greeting Farm September Preview Day 3

 Hello TGF Friends!

Welcome back to the final day of September previews at The Greeting Farm! 

Today, we're excited to introduce our annual HOLIDAY ANYA 13! I eagerly anticipate her arrival every year, and this time, she's joined by some adorable penguin friends to wish us all a very cool holiday!  ( One sentiment is misprinted so the set will be offered at a discounted amount and a correct Digi will be sent out to those who order the set).

For this card, I created a one-layer design where all the images were stamped and colored with Copic markers. The winter scene was entirely freehand with Copics as well. I then cut the scene with a deckled stitch frame die and matted it with festive Christmas patterned paper.

Make sure to visit all the other blogs for some amazing creations! The release is on Monday, so come and celebrate with us with a short blog hop for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the store!!

AMELIA THE BUNNY: The Greeting Farm September Preview Day 2

 Hello TGF Friends!

Welcome back to Day 2 of The Greeting Farm’s September previews!

We’re so excited to share one of the coziest new additions to our clear stamp collection—AMELIA THE BUNNY! This adorable set features three sweet bunnies enjoying the ultimate comfy day at home, complete with warm drinks, soft quilts, and cute accessories. Plus, it includes two heartfelt sentiments and plenty of elements to build your own cozy scene.

For today’s card, I wanted to capture that warm, snuggly feeling. I started by stamping the middle bunny and masking it, then added the other two to complete the trio. Using a heart stencil and Mica Distress Ink Oxide spray, I created a soft, sparkly background that adds a soft touch. The bunnies were colored with Copic markers to bring out their sweet personalities.

To finish the scene, I stamped and fussy cut the flower pillow and potted plant, then added a stitched border and heart accents to frame the design. The sentiment “COMFY DAYS are here” perfectly ties it all together, and the wavy stitched die adds a playful edge to the layout.

Make sure to visit the TGF blog to see how our amazing Design Team brought this set to life!

And don’t forget—our Blog Hop is coming up on the 15th, and one lucky winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the store!

See you tomorrow for our final sneak peek!

XOXO

WICKED ANYA 2: The Greeting Farm September Preview Day 1

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome to our September Release Kickoff at The Greeting Farm!  We’re bubbling with excitement as we unveil three brand-new clear stamp sets this month! And don’t forget—our Blog Hop is coming up on the 15th, where one lucky crafter will win a $50 gift certificate to the store. Mark your calendars!

Day 1 Preview: Meet WICKED ANYA 2! She’s back and more spellbinding than ever! Wicked Anya 2 is casting charm and mischief with her adorable witchy style. This set is packed with magical accessories and two fabulous sentiments that make it perfect for Halloween crafting.

She stands beside a bubbling cauldron of green potion, surrounded by a cozy brick wall and a wooden shelf filled with potion bottles. An open spellbook and glowing candle complete the scene, inviting you into her magical world.

Behind the Card: A spooky little lab to set the scene, I created a textured brick wall using Distress Crackle Opaque Paste and a stencil, then layered on moody tones of Distress Oxide sprays. A few water splatters added that eerie, aged effect.

Next came the fun part—building Anya’s potion lab! I stamped and colored all the elements with Copic markers, then die cut them. Using woodgrain cardstock, I crafted a shelf and book holder to anchor the scene. Foam adhesive gave everything a pop of dimension, making the cauldron bubble and the potions glow.

To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment “YOU BEWITCH ME,” die cut it into a circle, and matted it with orange patterned paper. 

 Head over to the TGF Blog to see what our amazing Design Team has conjured up with this set—and come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks from this magical release!

It's Fall Y"All!

  Hello friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm Blog sharing a fall card!! 

As the leaves begin to turn and pumpkin spice fills the air, it’s the perfect time to dive into fall crafting! Today, I’m excited to share a handmade card that captures the warmth and whimsy of the season. This project features Anya from one of my favorite stamp sets PUMPKIN SPICE ANYA. The stamp set is sold out in the store but you can request it in our next Farmer's Market. 

Anya is enjoying her pumpkin latte, in the company of her sweet little fox.  

To set the scene for the background, I started by blending Distress Oxide inks over a cloud and grass stencil combination. I then used a rounded rectangle die to cut the panel, giving it a clean look. To add texture,  I splattered white ink across the background and softly inked the edges. 

The star of the card is Anya, dressed in a cozy purple sweater and a knitted hat, sitting on a large orange pumpkin while sipping her whipped-cream-topped latte. I colored her and her woodland companion — a sweet little fox — using Copic markers, choosing warm, rich tones to reflect the season.

Each element was adhered to the background using foam adhesive to create depth and dimension. The sentiment, “IT’S FALL Y’ALL,” was stamped in the top left corner, tying the whole theme together with a cheerful seasonal greeting.

To finish, I mounted the entire panel onto a piece of fall-patterned paper using more foam adhesive. This final layer adds warmth and frames the scene beautifully.

This card is a celebration of everything I love about fall — cozy clothes, warm drinks, colorful leaves, and quiet moments in nature. Whether you’re sending it to a friend or adding it to your seasonal collection, it’s sure to bring a smile.

Hugs and pumpkin lattes!

Miss You So Much

  Hello crafty friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new card I created to send to my daughter who is a freshman in college. I already miss her so much!  I used one of the adorable bunnys from the  HUNNY BUNNY stamp set.  The sentiment is from the CUTE SCRIPT set (not in stock right now but can be requested in The Farmer's Market) .  

I cut the background in a smaller rectangle with a stitched rectangular border die. I stamped the brush strokes in different colors and added the big sentiment in a brown ink.  The bunny image was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I added the the background with foam adhesive to give it a little dimension. 

I matted it with a brown cardstock to give it a little edge and with foam adhesive glued it to a white stitched cardstock.   

I added some enamel dots to finish the card.  

Thank you for stopping by!! 

Hugs
