You're Frightfully Fun!

Hello Crafty Friends! 

 Halloween is just two days away, and I couldn’t resist sneaking in one last spooky creation featured in The Greeting Farm blog! For this card, I had double the inspiration: the adorable new ANYA REBOOT 2 (new limited set that was released - none are availble in the store but can be requested on the Farmer's Market)  set and my love for all things Halloween. I took the sweet cheerleader Anya and gave her a ghoulish twist—say hello to FrankensteinAnya, cheering her way through a haunted night scene!  

To build the background, I started by die cutting the Full Moon Scene from black cardstock. I created a glowing moon using a 5¼" white cardstock panel, blending Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Scattered Straw, with a touch of Lost Shadow for shading. For the eerie sky, I layered Twisted Citron, Rustic Wilderness, and Forest Moss, then splattered Distress Mica Spray to give it a little shimmer. The spooky black tree was the perfect finishing touch to anchor the scene.

The floating ghosts are from the BOO set (out of stock in the store  but can be requested on the Farmer's Market) —stamped on vellum, lightly inked with Oxides, and fussy cut for that soft, translucent look. I heat embossed the sentiments from WICKED ANYA 1 (out of stock in the store  but can be requested on the Farmer's Market) in black and added tiny bats for extra Halloween charm.  Anya was colored with Copic markers, die cut with my Scan&Cut, and popped up with foam adhesive to bring her to life (pun intended!). 

A few stars and dots with a white gel pen completed the sky and added that final touch. 

I had so much fun mixing sets and textures to create this frightfully fun card. Thanks so much for stopping by—and have a spooktacular Halloween!

XOXO

HOT COCOA KISSES: The Greeting Farm October Preview Day 3

Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome to our final day of October previews! We’ve had so much fun sharing this month’s releases, and today’s stamp set is the perfect way to wrap things up—with snowy smiles and sweet sips of cocoa.

Introducing the adorable HOT COCOA KISSES stamp set! These cheerful snowmen are embracing the chilly weather with mugs of cocoa, cozy scarves, and heartwarming moments. One even runs a tiny cocoa stand—with a gingerbread friend peeking out to say hello!

For my card, I created a winter mountain scene using a landscape die and ink-blended each layer with Distress Oxide inks for a frosty feel. I stamped all the characters and elements, fussy cut them, and arranged them with foam adhesive to build a dimensional, festive scene. A few enamel hearts added the perfect finishing touch.

This set is perfect for winter cards, holiday greetings, or just sending a little seasonal sweetness to someone special.

KNITTING ANYA: The Greeting Farm October Preview Day 2

Hello TGF Friends!

Welcome back to Day 2 of The Greeting Farm’s October previews! We’re thrilled to introduce three amazing new clear stamp sets this month, each one bursting with seasonal charm. And don’t forget—our Blog Hop is happening on the 15th, where one lucky winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the store!

Today’s spotlight is on the irresistibly cozy KNITTING ANYA. She’s the perfect stamp for yarn lovers and handmade enthusiasts alike—spending her day surrounded by furry friends and crafting tiny sweaters with love. The sentiment “All You Knit Is Love” says it all!

For my card, I stamped Anya and masked her to ink-blend a soft, cozy background using Distress Oxide inks. A few white splatters added texture and warmth. I trimmed the scene with a frayed border die and layered it over patterned paper. 

Anya, her sweet dog in a green sweater, the yarn basket, and the little mouse were all colored with Copic markers and die-cut for dimension. I arranged them around her using foam adhesive to create a snug little scene. To finish it off, I added enamel dots in the corner for a playful pop.

For my card, I created a playful snowy scene using a stitched hillside cover die and added a touch of sparkle with glitter on the hills. All the images were colored with Copic markers, and I popped up the characters with foam adhesive to give them a little extra dimension. The background features cozy houses, pine trees, and a cheerful snowman to complete the winter vibe.

Stay Wicked

Hello crafty friends!

I’m back on The Greeting Farm blog today with a spooktacular Halloween card that’s all treat, no trick! This one-layer scene was conjured up using the digital stamps from Miss Anya Bewitch, Haunted House and Halloween Nite—two sets that are frightfully fun and full of charm. The sentiment, “Stay Wicked,” is the only non-digi element and comes from the classic Wicked Anya stamp set (sold out at the store).

I arranged all the digi elements to create a whimsical haunted night, complete with a glowing moon, fluttering bats, floating ghosts, and a broom-riding Miss Anya with her trusty black cat. 

Everything was colored with Copic markers to bring out the rich Halloween hues, and I finished it off with a pop of orange cardstock to frame the scene.

Whether you're brewing up cards or just soaking in the spooky vibes, I hope this one inspires a little seasonal magic!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

XOXO, Elisabete

I Like Coffee & You

Hello Crafty friends! 

Who doesn’t love coffee? It’s one of those cozy indulgences that feels just right—especially in the fall. Today’s I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a slimline card that celebrates coffee with a playful twist, using the adorable CAFFEINE CRITTERS stamp set. 

To create this card, I began by stamping two of the critter images and masking them off to build a autumnal background. Using Distress Oxide Inks, I blended a warm palette of fall colors, then layered in some fun texture with a coffee splatter stencil—perfect for those realistic coffee stain effects.

The sentiment was stamped in a deep brown ink to complement the earthy tones. I colored the critters with Copic markers.  

To finish the card, I matted the main panel with a fall-themed patterned paper and a coordinating brown cardstock. A few enamel dots in matching tones added the final touch of dimension. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this card inspires you to mix your love of coffee with your creativity this season.

Hugs
