The Greeting Farm --- September Release BLOG HOP

 

The September 2025 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 WICKED ANYA features a cute witch with wand ready to add a little hocus-pocus to your projects. Next, we have AMELIA THE BUNNY, a heartwarming set with three delightful bunny illustrations to remind you comfy days are here. Lastly, we introduced HOLIDAY ANYA 13, a festive holiday stamp set with Anya bundled up in a cozy coat with her adorable penguin friend. (PLEASE NOTE: one sentiment in this set contains a small typo so it is discounted. But no worries, you will receive the corrected version as a downloadable digital file!)

For this release, I conjured up another Halloween card starring the fabulously spooky Wicked Anya. I stamped her first and masked her off to let the background magic unfold. Using a splatter stencil, I blended rich shades of Distress Oxide Ink in purples to create a mystical haze behind her.

The sentiment—"I'M UNDER YOUR SPELL"—was heat embossed in black for a bold touch. I added tiny bats and spiders to creep up the scene, and finished it off with coordinating enamel dots in the corners for a pop of Halloween sparkle.

Anya herself was colored with Copic markers, bringing her orange curls, witchy hat, and skull-accented dress to life. The entire scene was then matted with classic black and orange cardstock, tying everything together in true Halloween spirit.

WICKED ANYA 2: The Greeting Farm September Preview Day 1

 Hello TGF Friends! 

Welcome to our September Release Kickoff at The Greeting Farm!  We’re bubbling with excitement as we unveil three brand-new clear stamp sets this month! And don’t forget—our Blog Hop is coming up on the 15th, where one lucky crafter will win a $50 gift certificate to the store. Mark your calendars!

Day 1 Preview: Meet WICKED ANYA 2! She’s back and more spellbinding than ever! Wicked Anya 2 is casting charm and mischief with her adorable witchy style. This set is packed with magical accessories and two fabulous sentiments that make it perfect for Halloween crafting.

She stands beside a bubbling cauldron of green potion, surrounded by a cozy brick wall and a wooden shelf filled with potion bottles. An open spellbook and glowing candle complete the scene, inviting you into her magical world.

Behind the Card: A spooky little lab to set the scene, I created a textured brick wall using Distress Crackle Opaque Paste and a stencil, then layered on moody tones of Distress Oxide sprays. A few water splatters added that eerie, aged effect.

Next came the fun part—building Anya’s potion lab! I stamped and colored all the elements with Copic markers, then die cut them. Using woodgrain cardstock, I crafted a shelf and book holder to anchor the scene. Foam adhesive gave everything a pop of dimension, making the cauldron bubble and the potions glow.

To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment “YOU BEWITCH ME,” die cut it into a circle, and matted it with orange patterned paper. 

 Head over to the TGF Blog to see what our amazing Design Team has conjured up with this set—and come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks from this magical release!
