Happy New Year, crafty friends!
I hope you all had a joyful holiday season filled with love, laughter, and maybe a little creative time too. It feels great to be back, and I’m so excited for all the new goodies coming our way this year at The Greeting Farm. I can’t wait to see what fun adventures await our beloved Anya!
To kick off the year, I’m sharing the birthday card I made for my husband — and it’s extra special because it’s from our furry babies! We have three cats and two tiny toy fox terriers, so I thought it would be fun to use the Birthday Dogs and Birthday Cats stamp sets to represent our little crew. (these two sets are out of stock right now but can be requested at The Farmers Market)
I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, and fussy cut each one. For the dog stamp, I kept just the two smaller pups to match our terriers. The background was created using a confetti stencil, with the bottom portion masked off. I blended a mix of Distress Oxide inks to give it a festive, colorful vibe.
To finish it off:
- I trimmed the panel and layered it over a coordinating scalloped die-cut paper.
- The sentiment was stamped in crisp black ink.
- I popped up the images with foam adhesive for dimension.
- The whole panel was mounted onto glittery cardstock for extra sparkle.
- A few enamel dots in the corners added the final touch.
Here’s to a year full of creativity, inspiration, and handmade happiness! Wishing you all the best in 2026
