The Greeting Farm --- April Release and a new challenge

 

The April 2026 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 SMARTY PANTS features a charming lineup of book loving critters, and captures the cozy, playful side of learning. Next, we showcased a delightful picnic-themed set called FINE DAY ANYA, with our adorable Anya wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat enjoying a picnic basket full of goodies. Lastly, we introduced DON'T FROGET, a set with cute, whimsical frog illustrations paired with sweet, punny sentiments.

You guys have asked for more challenges so we are giving you one every month! The challenges will start on the 15th of each month, and run until the 14th of the next month so you have several weeks to work on your project.

DON'T FROGET: The Greeting Farm April Preview Day 3

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome back to The Greeting Farm final day of April’s previews! 

Today we introduce the adorable  DON'T FROGET.  How cute are these little frogs hopping around.

 

For my card:

• I started by creating the outdoor scene using a landscape die.  Each element was ink blended with Distress Ink Oxides. 
• All the frogs were colored with Copic merkers, and die cut with my Scan & Cut.  All images were added to the outdoor scene with foam adhesive. 
• The sentiment was added to the scene and for a final touch I added glitter to some of the flowers.  

Be sure to visit the rest of the Design Team blogs for even more amazing creations using this sweet new set! And don’t forget to stop by tomorrow for the full release and the unveiling of the brand new monthly TGF challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs!

Teen Boy Birthday Card

Hello friends!

I’m back on The Greeting Farm blog today sharing a fun teen boy birthday card featuring the awesome HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment set paired with Ian from the LIKE LIKE YOU set (This stamp set is currently not in the store, but can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site- HERE) . I created this card for my nephew’s 14th birthday, and I just love how perfectly these two sets work together for any teenager’s celebration.

To create my card:

• I started with the background by stamping Happy Birthday in red ink.

• Then I used a splatter stencil to create a cool background.
• I die cut the background panel with a stitched border die.
• Ian was stamped, colored with Copic markers and die cut.
• It was added to the background with foam adhesive.
• I die cut his age to personalize the card. 
• Finished the card by adding enamel dots and adding the whole thing to a red cardstock.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Wishing you a wonderful day. 

Happy Easter

 Hello crafty friends!

I’m stopping by the TGF blog today with a bright and happy Easter card to share. I used the adorable HAPPY EASTER ANYA digital set to create this sweet little spring scene filled with colorful tulips and tiny chicks.

To put my card together, I arranged all the digital elements in a Word document until everything looked just right. I printed the scene on Copic-friendly paper and colored it with Copic markers.

 After that, I used a frayed stitched border die to cut the panel and layered it over a fun, pastel-patterned background. For a pop of extra color, I added a few matching enamel dots in the top corners.

Such a simple card to make—and so much fun too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Wishing you all a joyful and blessed Easter!

The Greeting Farm --- March Release and a new challenge

 

The March 2026 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 BE CAPPY features five relaxed and playful capybaras enjoying life in the cutest ways. Next, we showcased BOOKISH KIDS, a set celebrating the joy of learning and perfect for classroom-themed cards, teacher gifts, and encouragement projects. Lastly, we have CAT MOM ANYA, a set that brings warmth, cuteness, and a little bit of purr-sonality to every project. 

For my card I used the cute little capybara in his floaty.  I created the beach scene with stencils and distress ink Oxides.  I cut is a frayed stitched die.  The capy was colored with Copics and fussy cut.  It was then added to the beach scene.  All was matted with a fun patterened paper.  Lots of greens were used for this challenge.
