BOOK LOVER : The Greeting Farm January Preview Day 2

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome back to our 2nd day of The Greeting Farm January’s previews! 

This month we are introducing 3 new AMAZING  clear stamp sets. Remember, we will have our Blog Hop on the 15th where 1 lucky person will take home the entire release!

Today we introduce the adorable set BOOK LOVER! I absolutely love this set!! All these little animals reading their books! The sentiments are just perfect for any book worm.  We also have a special surprise with a DiGI release of STRUCK BY CUPID just in time for Valentine's!! 


I'm a big reader and for the past three years I keep a annual reading journal. When I saw this set I was so excited as it was so perfect to create the opening page for my 2025 reading journal.  



I created little circle scenes for each of the images. Added all to a main background with the cute book shelf.  I stenciled some clouds and added the sentiments and the little cute mouse from this set. All images were colored with Copic markers.   Love it! 



For the special surprise we also introduce STRUCK BY CUPID ! This digital stamp set is so adorable with the cute Cupid Bean!! And it is available today to download.   It was so much fun creating this little scene.  


All images were colored with Copic Markers. The scene was die cut with an arch die and used a valentine's patterned paper for the back panel.  I added glitter on all the wings and glossy accent on all the small hearts.

ANYA IN NEW YORK : The Greeting Farm January Preview Day 1

 Hello Crafty friends! 

Happy New Year!!  I'm so excited as we start our 1st day of 2025 TGF previews!  We have some incredible new stamps coming in the next few months!!

This month we are introducing 3 new AMAZING  clear stamp sets. Remember, we will have our Blog Hop on the 15th where 1 lucky person will take home the entire release!

For our 1st  day of January's preview we introduce the globe trotter ANYA IN NEW YORK!!  I used to live in the state of NY about 30 minutes from Manhattan.  I still love to visit and go to my favorite restaurants and I always try to catch a Broadway show.  I was just there this past September and saw Moulin Rouge which I highly recommend it! SO good! 




I started by creating the background city scene by stamping the buildings and the Statue of Liberty. I masked these and with Distress Ink Oxides I ink blended the sky and water.  I used a separate stamp for the sidewalk.  Anya and the apple were stamped separately and die cut.  All images were colored with Copic markers.  I added Anya and the apple with foam adhesive.  The whole scene was die cut with a stitched rectangle border die and matted with red cardstock.  



Head over to TGF blog to see all the beautiful creations from our DT members using this set!  Come back tomorrow for the second day of sneak peaks!

Take it Easy

  Hello TGF Friends! 

Happy New Year!! So happy to be creating for The Greeting Farm for another year!! I love this group so much! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and took some time to relax and enjoy all the festivities!  It's always a busy month for us but I always take some time to relax.  



To start off the year I created a card that perfectly sums up the end of the year for me. I used the cute Happy Place stamp set.  That is totally me trying to take it easy and enjoying some reading time after a crazy month. 



For my card I cut the main panel and stamped the images and colored all with Copic markers.  The little stack of books were stamped seperately, fussy cut and added to the table with foam adhesive for a litlle dimension.  I used a scalloped rectangle die to frame the main panel and added patterened paper for the back.  


I hope you all took a little time to relax before the new year begins! 

Happy New Year!!

Peace Love & Joy

 Hello TGF friends! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new project. I can't believe this is my last post of the year!!

This year has gone by so fast! I'm looking forward to the Holidays. 

For my project I created my annual Holiday Anya ornament.   I love to add these to my tree and I’ve been doing it for a few years and my goal is to go back and create the past years.  I used the adorable Holiday Anya 12. (currently sold out) 



The image was stamped and cut with a round die. The image was colored with Copic markers.   I used a round scalloped die for the backing where I added some ribbons and finished it with some enamel dots.  



Thank you for all the love this year! 

I wish you all a Blessed Thanksgiving and a wonderful Holiday Season and I will be back next year with lots of new inspiration! 

Love and Hugs

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.
