The Greeting Farm --- November Release BLOG HOP

 

The November 2024 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first set called ANYA'S FLOWER SHOP is the perfect set to send a thank you to dear friends and family. Next, we brought you FAIRY LOVE with 9 of the cutest little fairies ever. In our last set, DOG DAD IAN get wags and kisses from his 4 fabulous pooches because he's their best pal.

For my card I picked Dog Dad Ian and used the little dogs.  I colored them with Copic markers and die cut them with my Scan & Cut.  I created the main background and stenciled a brick wall and stamped the sentiments.  The dogs were added with foam adhesive and stamped the little paw prints.  I matted it with patterened paper. I love the more masculine theme for this card.

Best Day Ever!

 Hello TGF friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a Disney Themed card. When I saw that this little cutie was back in the store I couldn’t resist making a card with her.  She is one of my favorite Anya’s.  Best Day Anya set combines my love for Anya and Disney.  Every year we go to Orlando for the end of the year volleyball tournament and I always use her to make goodie bags tags for the team. 

I started by creating the background with some different stencils.  First the brick wall with Distress ink Oxide Lost Shadow, and the splatter stencil I used Black Soot, Lumber Jack Plaid and Scattered Straw. I cut the background with a wavy stitched die.  

 The main image was colored with Copic markers and die cut with my Scan & Cut. I added glitter to the headband ears and added her to the background with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was stamped in black.    To finish it, all was matted with some black glitter cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!! 

XOXO

Little Witch Flying By

TGIF crafty friends! 

It's been a long week!  Today I'm on TGF blog sharing a cute Halloween card using one of the darling witches from the Big Hocus Pocus Kit (still available in the store). All the images are just so cute! 

For this card I started working on the background.  I used heavy cardstock and ink blended Dried Marigold and Kirch Flaming Distress Ink Oxides.  I sprayed with water and speckled it with Black Soot and Fortune Teller Mica Stain Spray.

 I then used a Spider Web back drop and die cut it in a black glitter paper.  The witch was colored with Copic markers and die cut. I added glitter on some parts of her costume.  The sentiment is from Wicked Anya set and I used a bubble speech die.  The witch and the little spiders were all added to the background with foam adhesive.  

I hope you all have a great Halloween!

Hello Autumn!

 Hello TGF friends! 

I’m on The Greeting Farm blog today sharing a fall card.  I love this season with its cooler air and all the changes in nature colors.  My house is now all decorated waiting for my next favorite event, Halloween! 

For this card I used the super cute Mini Remix Fall  stamp set and the sentiment is from Foxy Fall. 

 

I started working on the background which I ink blended with Distress Ink Oxides sprays using fall colors.  I also used some Mica colors. 

I added a beautiful cover die and you can see that background come through.  

All the images were colored with Copic markers and die cut with my Scan & Cut.  

All were added to the panel with foam adhesive.   For the sentiment I stamped it a dark brown ink and cut it with a circle die and matted with a dark cardstock.  

I love how it turned out!

Cover Die from Sunny Studios Retro Petals Die 

Sending Smiles

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing some cute notes.  I created these for my daughter's volleyball gift exchange so she could write a little note of encoragement to her teammates.  I used the school colors for the color scheme. 

I used the super adorable A Little Message stamp set (currently out of stock but can be requested in the Farmer's Market), it was the perfect one to create these and I love all the sentiments included.  

I stamped all the images and colored them with Copic markers.  All were die cut with my Scan & Cut.  I created the little background for the image by die cutting with a stitched border die, and the scalloped edges were also die cut from the same die set.   I colored the grass and sky with Distress Ink Oxides by blending the colors and stamped the little pile of letters and colored these.  

I added the image with foam adhesive and started assembling the card.  The yellow panel was cut from a note book die and sending smiles sentiment was added with black ink.  It was glued to a red cardtstock at an angle.  I finished the note by adding some enamel dots. 

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Hugs
