Life is Better With A Lil' Spice

 Hello, crafty friends!

Today I’m sharing a cozy fall gift card holder card featuring the adorable Miss Anya from the Pumpkin Spice Season stamp set. With crisp autumn days, pumpkin patches, and pumpkin spice drinks everywhere, I couldn’t resist creating a card inspired by all my favorite things about the season.

For this project, I turned a large coffee cup die into a fun gift card holder. The gift card tucks perfectly into the cup, making it a sweet and practical way to treat someone to their favorite coffee shop this fall. I decorated the cup with patterned paper, a stitched heart, and a cute little pumpkin embellishment to enhance the seasonal feel.

Miss Anya was colored with Copic markers and cut out using my Scan N Cut machine. I paired her with warm fall colors and layered everything over a soft plaid background. The whipped cream topping and cinnamon stick details make the coffee cup look extra cozy, while a few enamel dots add the perfect finishing touch.

To complete the design, I stamped the sentiment "Life is Better With a Lil' Spice," which perfectly captures the spirit of this card. Whether you're gifting a coffee lover, celebrating a fall birthday, or simply sending a little autumn cheer, this gift card holder is a fun way to make the gift extra special.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this project inspires you to create some cozy fall cards of your own!

For this challenge I used this new adorable Bite Size set.   I created the background with this quilted die and added on top of a brown cardstock. 

I used a stencil for the splatter in a fall color. Die cut the Happy Fall and stamped the sentiment right under it. The images were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. I added them on top of a banner with fall colors . All was added to the same fall pattern paper.   

Finished the card with some fall colored enamel dots.

SENDING CUDDLES. : The Greeting Farm September Preview Day 3

  Hello TGF Friends! 

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

Today we introduce the adorable SENDING CUDDLES set.  These two are so happy to playing outdoors with their little furry friends and sending cuddles to all of you.  So many images in this set to create a sweet little scene for all animal lovers.  

For my card:

• I started by creating the outdoor scene using a landscape die.  Each section was ink blended with Distress Ink Oxides. 
• All the images 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 heat embossed in white and for a final touch I added some enamel dots to the top corner.  

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!

BITE-SIZE. : The Greeting Farm September Preview Day 2

  Hello TGF Friends! 

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

This month, we’re introducing three new clear stamp sets that will be available on the 15th at 12am EST.

Today we're featuring the absolutely adorable BITE-SIZE stamp set!

These tiny hamsters completely stole my heart! With so many sweet little critters, fun accessories, and punny sentiments included in the set, the creative possibilities are endless. I had so much fun bringing these miniature cuties to life with lots of color and playful details.

Card Details:

For this card, I created a grid-style design that gives each little hamster their own special spotlight. The backgrounds were ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in soft shades of green, then spritzed with water and mica spray for a subtle shimmer and texture.

After the panels were dry, I die cut them and arranged them inside a clean white frame to create a fun window-pane effect. Each hamster, accessory, and sentiment was stamped, colored with Copic markers, and carefully arranged throughout the design to tell its own tiny story.

I mixed in several of the adorable accessories, including seeds, fruit, and flowers, to add extra interest and personality to the individual panels. The sentiments, "Sending Bite-Sized Hugs" and "Just So Cute," fit perfectly with these lovable little characters.

To finish the card, I added colorful enamel dots and heart embellishments throughout the design for pops of color and a playful touch.

I love how this layout showcases so many images from the set while keeping the card bright and full of charm!

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see all the amazing creations from the Design Team featuring BITE-SIZE.

Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING!

  Hello friends! 

Today I’m on The Greeting Farm Blog sharing a cozy fall card that celebrates everything I love about this season! As the leaves begin to turn and pumpkin spice fills the air, I couldn’t resist creating a scene full of autumn warmth and whimsy.

This card features all digital stamps, combined to build a full orchard moment. I used Miss Anya from the MISS ANYA PUMPKIN SPICE digi set, and all the background elements come from the HELLO FALL digi set. It was so much fun to layer, resize, and arrange each image to create the perfect fall day — pumpkins, apples, colorful leaves, and even a cheerful little scarecrow.

Miss Anya is bundled up in her cozy jacket and pumpkin hat, enjoying her pumpkin latte while taking in the crisp autumn air. Every image was colored with Copic markers to bring out those rich fall tones.

To finish the card, I die‑cut the scene with a frayed border die and mounted it onto a piece of fall‑patterned paper using foam adhesive. This final layer adds warmth, dimension, and a beautiful frame around the entire scene.

This card is a celebration of all things fall — cozy clothes, warm drinks, colorful leaves, and peaceful moments outdoors. Whether you send it to a friend or tuck it into your seasonal collection, it’s sure to bring a smile.

Hugs and pumpkin lattes! 

Happy Reading

This set is perfect for creating fun scenes for book lovers. It includes the cutest reading images, accessories, and themed sentiments, making it ideal for cards, bookmarks, journals, and handmade gifts for the readers in your life.

For today's card, I created a cozy outdoor reading scene with Anya relaxing on a blanket surrounded by colorful flowers. Her adorable little cat is curled up beside her while a tiny mouse friend joins in on the story time fun. I love all the whimsical details that bring this scene to life!

Card Details:

• This is a one-layer card design.
• All digital images were sized, arranged, and combined to create this cozy garden reading scene.
• The images were colored with Copic markers.
• Glitter accents were added to several of the flowers for a little sparkle.
• To finish the card, I added a lavender postage-style frame die cut around the focal panel.
• The sentiment "Happy Reading" was added to complete the design.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day, and I hope you find a little time to curl up with a good book.

Hugs,
