SMARTY PANTS: The Greeting Farm April Preview Day 1

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome to another fabulous release at The Greeting Farm!!  This month we’re excited to introduce three AMAZING new clear stamp sets — and today kicks off Day 1 of our April previews!

Say hello to the adorable SMARTY PANTS set! These studious little cuties are busy reading, learning, and getting all their work done. They’re absolutely perfect for school‑themed cards, encouragement notes, or anything that needs a dash of nerdy charm.  

For my card:

• I printed the office elements from the digital set Build A Living Room on copic paper and all was colored with Copic markers. 
• I used a stitched border die to cut the background,
• All the main images were colored with Copic markers, die cut and added to scene with foam adhesive.  
• I finished the card by adding  some enamel dots to one of the corners.

Each challenge will run from the 15th of the month through the 14th of the next, giving you plenty of time to create something magical for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store.

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.

BE CAPPY: The Greeting Farm March Preview Day 1

 Hello Crafty Friends!  

I’m so excited to kick off  Day 1 of March TGF Previews! This month, we’re introducing three AMAZING new clear stamp sets — and trust me, you’re going to love them!

As you remember we’ll now be hosting monthly challenges over in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group. Each challenge will run from the 15th of the month through the 14th of the next, giving you plenty of time to create something magical for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store. Be sure to stop by on the 15th to see what the March challenge is! 

Today’s spotlight is on the BE CAPPY stamp set — an irresistibly cute collection featuring five cheerful capybaras and lots of fun little accessories to dress up your scenes.

To create my card:

• I started by using a window die to cut out four panels, giving each capybara its own little moment to shine.
• I colored each panel by ink blending  different shades of Distress Oxide inks to create the grass and sky. I misted the cardstock with water to get a bubble effect and sprayed some Distress Spritz for a little shimmer.  
• Each cappy was stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut using my Scan & Cut.  I popped them onto the panels with foam adhesive for dimension.
• A couple of the sentiments were stamped directly onto the background panels to tie everything together.
• To finish, I sprinkled in some of the tiny accessories from the set — the perfect little details to complete each mini scene.

This set is pure joy to create with, and these happy little capybaras just make me smile.

Be sure to visit the TGF Blog to see all the gorgeous creations from our Design Team using this set. And don’t forget to come back tomorrow for Day 2 of our sneak peeks!
