January 2021 release.

The JANUARY 2021 RELEASE is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! First up, we introduced you to MISS ANYA FANNY PACK with 3 different big Anyas carrying fashionable critter fanny packs. Next, we have CAFFEINE CRITTERS... a set featuring 5 coffee loving critters. Our 3rd set called DREAMS DO COME TRUE has Anya and Ian living happily ever after in their castle with a pet frog and unicorn! And finally, we have a brand new stand alone MAGIC CASTLE DIE.

I created this card using an image from MISS ANYA FANNY PACK and an image/sentiment from CAFFEINE CRITTERS. I love how these sets can be mixed and matched according to the project. I dry embossed the white background, colored her up with Copic Markers, and added some heart bling to finish up the card. Super easy peasy!

magic castle die.

If you loved the magical set from yesterday, you are going to love the new MAGICAL CASTLE DIE on Day 4 of Previews! This die has lots of little details to make a charming little kingdom scene.

It took some time to piece together the castle. I used up some of my glitter cardstock and some patterned paper for the sky background and the heart filled magic kingdom bubble. I colored up one of the images and one of the sentiments from Dreams Do Come True and paired them up with the castle die. Such a lovely die to add to my collection!

Supplies:

Patterned paper from my stash

Neenah 80# Solar White Classic Crest cardstock for the castle

Bazzill pink cardstock

Martha Steward glitter cardstock

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Copic Markers- skin E11, E00, E000; hair E59, E57, E55; dress BG11, BG13, Y04

dreams do come true.

Hello again! It’s Day 3 of Previews at The Greeting Farm! Today, we release DREAMS DO COME TRUE, a sweet and lovely fairytale set. 

This card is super dreamy with loads of images for a magic kingdom. Here I used the little castle and princess for a little scene that’s happily ever after. I colored up the little images with Copic Markers, added some colorful enamel dots, and a pink ribbon to match the background cardstock. I mounted everything on a teal gingham background- another piece from my stash. I die cut a background to frame the stamped sentiment. This set is truly a dream! :)

Supplies:

Pink cardstock and gingham cardstock from my stash

Offray ribbon

Enamel Dots unknown

Copic Markers: skin E11, E00, E000; hair E59, E57, E55, E53; dress BG11, BG13, R83, R81; castle C3, C1, R85, R83, Y04, BG11, BG13, RV04

caffeine critters.

It's Day 2 of Previews at The Greeting Farm! Today, we are featuring a set after my own heart- CAFFEINE CRITTERS! While coffee doesn't solve life's problems, it sure doesn't hurt. I love coffee in the mornings, hot or cold. These critters love them, too!

I created this card using some of my use-what-you-have paper scraps, doily, and twine. I colored up one of the sleepy, groggy critters with Copic Markers. He is slowly waking up after drinking his morning java. :) I also colored up the toast and coffee with the same tones and colors.

Supplies:

Bazzill brown and teal cardstock

Oval Die cut dies unknown

Paper doily scraps

Paper Studio patterned paper

Twine from Walmart

Button from my stash

White Signo Uni-ball pen

Copic Markers: fur, toast, coffee cup E55, E53, E51, E50; cheek R20; sweater and coffee sleeves BG18, BG13, BG11

miss anya fanny pack.

Hello, crafty friends! It’s the first day of Previews at The Greeting Farm! Today, we are featuring MISS ANYA FANNY PACK, a new set with a trio of Miss Anyas with cute fanny packs. They’re definitely not your parents’ fanny packs! LOL! 

This set along with the rest of the release will be available on the 15th! 

I colored one of the Miss Anyas with Copic Markers and partnered her up with patterned paper to match. I also added some soft elements for this sweet card. A bit of twine, lace, and a pink button completed this card along with a punched heart. 

One of my crafty goals this year is to shop my stash and this card is a mix of all my supplies that need to be used up!

Supplies:

Paper Studio patterned paper

EK Success primitive heart punch

Offray lace

Twine from Walmart 

Copic Markers: skin- E000, E00, E11, E04; hair- E44, E43, E42, E41; shirt- BG99, BG96, BG93: bow and heart hair clip R85, R84, R81; shirts: E29, E27, E25; Fanny pack E09, E07, E53, E51, E50

bye bye bye 2020.

Happy New Year, crafty friends! I am happy to share my first post of the year! I am so excited to start creating again with new stamps and dies from the Greeting Farm store but I could not help but create this card using one of the digitals from last year. 

I have received multiple comments from friends saying Ian from the Dress Up Winter digital release looks like Justin Timberlake from his *NSYNC days. Yes, I am now showing my age. LOL. I agree and I completely see the resemblance. Why not celebrate it? :) Look at that hair. Ramen noodles, anyone? 

I created this card with Justin Timberlake and the New Year in mind. I am ready to leave 2020 behind so this card is my farewell message to this past year. Bye bye bye 2020!

I created a slimline card, keeping it simple with black and white and a little glitter cardstock for some New Year glam. I colored Ian/Justin up with Copic Markers and added some die cut letters for the title. I stamped up the year on vellum keeping the ink light as it fades from my memory. Ha!  I also had fun creating a mini rosette with crepe paper, my first and probably not my last. I added some Stickles to the little rosette added a glittered center. That was fun!

Supplies:

• Recollections 110# black cardstock
• Hammermill 100# coverstock
• American Crafts Hot Cocoa black/white patterned paper 
• Martha Stewart glitter cardstock 
• Vellum scraps
• Momenta alphabet die cuts
• Hero Arts number stamps
• Stickles
• Copic Markers: skin E000, E00, E11, E04; hair E44, E43, E42, E41; jacket N3, N5, N7; jeans B95, B97, B99; shoes E44, E43
