Beach Digital Release

Hello, crafty friends! There is a new BEACH digital release at The Greeting Farm making its debut today. This set is perfect for those summer, vacation scenes. There are loads of accessories and fun little details for sun kissed cards.

I created 2 cards to celebrate this release. I added Anya from an older digital set called Summer Dress Up to showcase the background elements of the tiki hut, palm tree, surfboard, flowers, pineapple cocktail using Photoshop Elements! I used a sentiment from Summer Dress Up also. I colored up all the stamps with Copic Markers, including the sky, sea, and sand. So fun!

The second card was inspired by an iconic TV show of the 80’s. This BABEWATCH scene was so much fun to color! I found a free brush font from the internet and used it for the title. I gathered up the Anyas from Summer Dress Up and Winter Dress Up plus the Birthday Girls digitals. They are lifeguards ready to keep the beach fun and safe! David Hasselhoff, eat your heart out! LOL. :)

May 2022 Release Day

The MAY 2022 RELEASE is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new sets. Our first magical set called CHEEKY MERMAIDS takes you on journey under the sea and features 2 gorgeous mermaids, some sea life, and two sentiments. Next, we added a set to our sentiment line called HAPPY BIRTHDAY that can be used alone or combined with other stamps. Lastly, we brought you characters who are ready for a trip to the beach in a set called MINI-REMIX SUNSHINE.

I created this birthday card for today! I colored up one of the images from Mini-Remix Sunshine with Copic Markers and the big sentiment from Happy Birthday! I die cut a circle and stamped the background with the little embellishment stamps for some added interest. I added some enamel dots to match and the card is done!

Mini-Remix Sunshine

It’s Day 3 of Previews at The Greeting Farm! Today, we are featuring a new remix of stamps called MINI-REMIX SUNSHINE. These mini versions of Anyas and Ians are super cute and fun to mix and match. 

I chose a multicolored background cardstock for this A2 card. I colored up the puppy along with  a couple of the images and a sentiment to finish this card. The easiest, simplest cards are my absolute go-to and this is surely one of the easiest and simplest!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

It’s Day 2 of Previews at The Greeting Farm! Today, we have a versatile sentiment set for those special birthdays! This is perfect for all the friends and families in your lives!

I colored up a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock and blended some Distress Oxide Inks for this slimline card. I forgot how fun it is to blend these colors together. For added measure, I sprayed and splashed some water on the card. I love how the colors react to each color. 

I also resurrected an older retired rubber stamp set called Dollie with Cupcake. I colored her up with Copic Markers, added some white highlights to her cheeks with a white gel pen and added some red lipstick with a Copic Marker. She’s one of my favorites because she has such personality! I added the sentiment along with her image and then stamped a few of the elements on the panel to tie in the black ink. I added a doily border die in black to mimic her eyelet apron. Easy and fun!

Cheeky Mermaids

Hello, crafty friends! It's finally MerMay and what better way to celebrate than a new set of Cheeky Mermaids from The Greeting Farm! This set has 2 new Cheeky girls with their underwater friends and some cute sentiments. I had fun creating a water scene blending different Distress Oxide Inks and adding some water splotches.

I colored up the 2 sweet Cheeky mermaids with soft, pastel colors and added some chalk for their makeup. I colored up some of their sea friends in multi colored Copics also.  

I added some iridescent sequins inside the stamped bubbles for some added interest.

• Strathmore Bristol cardstock
