The OCTOBER 2021 RELEASE is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new sets. Our first stamp set called POSITIVE COUPLE features Anya and Ian who choose happy and focus on the positive. Next, we introduced you CHEEKY JOY...all dressed up for those holiday parties. Lastly, we gave you the sweetest big Anya and her loyal companion in a set call MISS ANYA JINGLE.

To celebrate this release we are having a short BLOG HOP! One lucky fan will take home the entire release! You have until October 18th, 12pm CST/1pm EST to leave your comments on each Designer's Blog and The Greeting Farm Blog (letting us know you completed the hop). Only leave 1 comment please. We will announce the random winner later in the week on the Blog and in our Facebook Group: The Greeting Farm Fan Page.

For my card I used Ian from the Positive Couple set and made it intoa masculine birthday card.  I stenciled the background with a brick stencil from Tim Holtz. The sentiment is from Miss Anya Birthday set.

Peace & Love

 Hello 

Today I'm at The Greeting Farm blog sharing a new card.  I'm loving getting a start on my holiday cards and TGF has some really adorable stamp sets.  I came across this older set in the shop and I had to order it!  Merry & Bright:  what an adorable set and I love all its Christmas sentiments.  I had to color these cute little deer.  



I created a one layer card.  All images and background were colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped and embossed in black.  I added the white snow with my Uni Posca white pen. I added Prisma glitter on the snow banks and trees. This little winter scene was framed with a scalloped die.  I popped both layers with foam adhesive to give it a little more dimension.  

Loved the way it turned out.  

Hugs

Holiday Anya

 Hello TGF friends! 

 After all this month Christmas themed release at The Greeting Farm I decided to continue this theme.   I just love all the Holiday Anya's and for my project today I used the stylish Holiday Anya 6.  Who doesn't love a good cup of hot chocolate?  She totally brings in the warmth and joy of the season. 



The image was colored with Copic markers and die cut with my Brother Scan & Cut. She was popped with foam adhesive.   The background was slightly stenciled with a coffee stain stencil from Tim Holtz and I added some Christams floral patterned paper.   The sentiment is from TGF called Lettered (currently sold out).   I finished the card with some glossy enamel drops.

LAwn Fawn: Bubbles of Joy Challenge 108

 Hello 

I created a card to submit to Lawn Fawn Challenge # 108 inspiration photo.   I used the cute Bubbles of Joy set.  I just love all the little mice!!

I started by ink blending the background with Distress Ink Oxides (Cracked Pistachio, Chipped Saphire and Savage patina) on Rangers Distress White Heavystock.  I spritzed some water and heat dried.  I splattered some of Lawn Fawn's Liquid Stardust.  After I used Lawn's Fawn Bubble stencil and the same Distress ink and added some of the bubbles onto the background. All papers were cut with Lawn's Fawn Stitched Rectangle dies.   All images were colored with Copic markers and die cut.  I popped most of them with foam adhesive.  The sentiment were stamped and die cut with the simple sentiment strips.  

Hugs
