******************************************************************* 

For my card today, I used one of my favorite sets - SMALL SURPRISES.

They are just too cute having fun in their little boba drinks.  I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers and die cut them.   I used a window slimline die to create the card.  Each have their little window, for the pink and green I used patterned paper and for the middle window I ink blended it with Distress Ink Oxides and sprayed some water to give this cool watery effect.  All images were added with foam adhesive for some dimension.  To finish  I matted all with a blueberry cardstock and added some enamel dots.  

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store to grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations with us. 

Hugs,

Hi Honey!

Hello friends!

I’m on the TGF blog today sharing a bright and cheerful card featuring the sweet BEE HAPPY stamp set. These little bees and blooms were just perfect for a sunny, happy scene!

I stamped all the images onto cardstock and used a stitched rectangle die to cut the panel. Everything was colored with Copic markers.   For the background, I lightly stenciled a honeycomb pattern in a soft yellow and added the sentiment right at the top.

To frame the scene, I added scalloped borders in two tones of yellow for a fun layered look. The panel was then matted onto black glitter cardstock with foam adhesive for dimension. A few tiny enamel dots and a touch of glitter on the bees’ wings finished the card with just the right amount of sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs!

Sending Hugs

 Hello crafty friends, 

I’m back on The Greeting Farm blog today with a card that’s all kinds of cuteness. This Miss Cheeky, from  the set Miss Cheeky Summer,  is surrounded by these adorable little dogs, from the Bow Wow Wow set.  They are all here to send you a hug. 

I stamped and masked Miss Cheeky, then brought in a splatter heart stencil and blended three shades of pink Distress Oxide inks. A few spritzes of Mica Distress Oxide spray added some shimmer. Once unmasked, I colored her with Copic markers to bring her to life.  The little dogs were stamped seperately, colored and die cut.  I added them to the background surrounding Miss Cheeky.  

After that, I used a frayed stitched border die to cut the panel and layered it over a fun patterned background.

Thanks so much for stopping by today—I hope this card brings you a little smile. 

Have a wonderful day!

Have a Blossom Day

  Hello Crafty Friends! 

Today I’m on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a bright and cheerful handmade card featuring another sweet Anya from the PETAL PRINCESSES big kit! This set is such a treasure — eight flower‑themed Anyas, three sentiments, and lots of adorable accessories. I couldn’t resist coloring this darling girl with her long pigtails, summery outfit, and that gorgeous floral crown.

 For my card: 

• I started with a bold striped patterned paper to create a fun, vibrant background.
• The sentiment “Have a BLOSSOM Day” was heat‑embossed in white so it stands out crisply against the stripes.
• Anya was stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out using my Scan & Cut. I popped her onto the panel with foam adhesive for dimension.

• I added glitter to the flowers and leaves in her hair for a soft sparkle.
• The groovy cream‑colored flowers were die‑cut, layered with colorful centers, and arranged around Anya. Once everything was placed, I trimmed the excess for a clean look.
• To finish, the entire panel was mounted onto yellow cardstock with foam adhesive to bring out the sunny colors.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Hugs!

This kit is still available in the store!  HERE

Groovy Flowers  dies from Simon Says Stamps 

Celebrate!

 Hello, crafty friends!

Today I’m over on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a bright and patriotic scene featuring the adorable SCOOTING BY ANYA. She’s cruising along with a cheerful bouquet in her basket, enjoying the sunshine and celebrating the spirit of the 4th of July. With fireworks bursting in the sky and little flags waving in the background, she’s ready for all the red, white, and blue fun! She reminds me of my girls when they used to decorate their bikes for the neighboorhood 4th of July parade.  

Card Details:  

• This is a one‑layer card.

• All images were stamped and masked to build the full scene.

• I blended Distress Oxide inks to create the path, grassy hillside, and soft summer sky.

• The fireworks were added using a festive stencil for that sparkle.

• The sentiment was stamped in crisp black ink.

• Everything was colored with Copic markers.

• To finish, I die‑cut the panel with a wavy stitched border and mounted it onto coordinating red, white, and blue patterned paper for the perfect patriotic pop.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you a joyful and safe 4th of July filled with celebration, color, and creativity.

Our JUNE 2026 Challenge is: ADD A BANNER

For this challenge I reached for one of the adorable Cheekys from the Miss Cheeky Summer set—she is just perfect for a sunny beach scene!

To create my card, I started by stamping the main image and masking off the sides with low‑tack tape to form a clean vertical strip. I colored everything with Copic markers and blended a soft beach background right inside that masked area. Once I lifted the tape, it revealed the prettiest crisp striped panel.

I trimmed the edges and layered the scene over a bright striped patterned paper to tie in all those fun summer colors. The sentiment was stamped onto a banner die and popped up with foam adhesive for a little extra dimension.

To finish the card, I added coordinating enamel dots along the side for a playful pop of color.
