The Greeting Farm --- October Release and a new challenge HALLOWEEN

The October 2026 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new clear stamp sets. Our first stamp set called HOLIDAY ANYA 14 celebrates the merry little moments of the holidays with a gorgeous Anya all bundled up feeding sweet little birds in the park. Next, we showcased WAG ON, a playful collection of sweet puppies in fun poses. Lastly, we have ANYA PRESERVES with a charming Anya surrounded by everything you need to add a homemade touch to your crafting.  

For my card, I paired the new Wag On set with the Halloween Nite digi set to create a fun Halloween scene full of puppy charm! I began by arranging the digital elements to build the moonlit background, complete with a spooky fence, bare tree, and festive scarecrow.

The scene was colored with Copic markers, die cut with a wavy stitched border die, and layered onto striped Halloween patterned paper. For a fun interactive touch, I heat embossed the sentiment with glow-in-the-dark green embossing powder.

The two adorable pups were stamped separately, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up with foam adhesive for added dimension. I love how it looks like these playful little friends are trying their best to get the scarecrow's attention for a game of fetch on this spooky Halloween night!

In addition, we have a brand new challenge in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate. The challenges 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.

ANYA PRESERVES: The Greeting Farm October Preview Day 3

 

Hello TGF Friends!

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

Today we’re introducing the adorable ANYA PRESERVES! Anya is hard at work in the kitchen, filling jars with homemade jams, pickles, and other tasty goodies. This charming set is packed with delightful canning-themed accessories, making it perfect for creating cards for anyone who loves preserving fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade treats, or country-inspired kitchen projects.

For my card, I created a sweet one-layer scene featuring Anya proudly showing off her homemade creations. Using masking techniques, I built a cozy canning setup complete with a table full of colorful jars ready to be shared. Everything was colored with Copic markers, and I added extra dimension by popping up a few of the jars. The finished scene was cut with a scalloped frame die, and I softly ink blended the border in a vibrant red to coordinate with the preserves and add a warm, homespun touch.

Make sure to visit all the TGF blog for some amazing creations! Come back tomorrow for our release day and the unveiling of a new challenge!  

XOXO

WAG ON: The Greeting Farm October Preview Day 2

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome back to our 2nd day of The Greeting Farm October’s previews! This month we are introducing 3 new AMAZING  clear stamp sets. 

Today we're introducing the adorable WAG ON set! This charming set is filled with sweet and playful pups that are perfect for creating cards and projects for every dog lover.

For my card, I used a three-window die cut from wood-textured cardstock to create the look of a cozy doghouse window display. For each window, I die cut white cardstock and ink blended different shades of green Distress Oxide inks to create a soft gradient background. A light mist of Distress Mica Spray added a little shimmer and sparkle.

The cute sentiments were stamped in black ink, and all of the puppy images were colored with Copic markers, die cut, and popped up with foam adhesive for added dimension. I love how each window tells its own little story. The top puppy is happily trotting along with a tennis ball in its mouth while a butterfly flutters nearby. The middle scene features an energetic pup in a playful bow, hoping to make friends with a curious little chicken. In the bottom window, a sleepy puppy has curled up for a nap after a busy day of play. The tiny hearts sprinkled throughout the scenes add an extra touch of sweetness and show just how lovable these furry friends are.

Anya is enjoying a sweet holiday moment on a park bench with her charming pigeon friends, complete with a candy cane, a tiny gift, and even a festive feathered friend wearing a Santa hat. The playful "coo" sentiment adds the perfect touch of whimsy to this heartwarming holiday scene.

For my card, I created a cheerful park setting by stamping, coloring with Copic markers and fussy cutting some ofthe images.

Stay Wicked!

 Hello crafty friends!

Happy October!  I'm back on the The Greeting Farm blog today with a delightfully wicked Halloween card that's brewing up all the spooky season vibes!

For my card, I featured the adorable HALLO WITCH digital image soaring through a magical moonlit sky. To complete the look, I added the sentiment "Stay Wicked" from the classic Wicked Anya stamp set, which couldn't be more perfect for this little enchantress.

I printed the image onto Copic-friendly cardstock, colored her with Copic markers, and then cut her out using a stitched circle die. After masking the image, I blended Distress Oxide Inks to create a nighttime backdrop. A spritz of Distress Shimmer Spray added just the right touch of eerie sparkle, like moonlight dancing through a witch's spell. The finished circle was layered onto a scalloped mat for extra dimension.

To build the card, I layered coordinating Halloween papers and popped up the focal panel with foam adhesive. The black bow adds a touch of spooky elegance, while a few sparkling gems bring just a bit of magical mischief.

With her pumpkin-topped hat, colorful broom, and wickedly cute charm, this little witch looks ready to sweep through the night casting Halloween happiness wherever she goes!

Whether you're brewing up cards of your own or simply enjoying all the spooky season inspiration, I hope this project adds a little magic to your day.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

XOXO, Elisabete

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
