THE GREETING FARM - OCTOBER 2026 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.  

I chose to take Anya from the Anya Preserves clear stamp set and give her some goth flair. I started by taking the bow from the Goth Girl digi stamp set and covering up the existing strawberry barrette. Using lighter skin tones, along with some violet around her eyes, and now Anya looks a bit more in season. 

Matching the purple around her eyes to her outfit, helped with the goth feel of this card. I also doubled up the skull on her bow to give it more dimension. I added an extra skull cut from another bow to decorate her sweatshirt. Once she was all colored, I used some extra paper, foam tape, and a bit of twine to create a bag for trick-or-treating. 

Once Anya was complete, I used the Haunted House digi stamp to create a house for her to trick-or-treat at. I colored this with Copics, then added a little chalk color mist to dull the colors just a little bit. I popped the two colored images onto a background that was inked up, and added a sentiment from the Monster Hugs stamp set. As you can see, you can use a lot of different sets in some unique ways to create a Halloween card!

THE GREETING FARM: A Fall Picnic

 

Hello Farmers! It's been too warm here to truly embrace the autumnal spirit, so I drug out the summery, Fine Day Anya clear stamp set to use once more before all of the leaves fall. 

To make this more fall focused, I chose a few themed papers from Kingston Crafts & Diamond Press, inking the acorn Kingston Crafts paper to create a nice dark base. I then colored Anya in fall colored Copics, adding some apple cider to the picnic basket. 

Once everything was colored and cut, I added a few falling leaves to give it more of a fall feel. I added one of the sentiments and put it all together with foam tape. 

Grab your Fine Day Anya clear stamp set from The Greeting Farm, and thank you for stopping by!

Happy creating,

THE GREETING FARM: You're My Book Bestie

 Happy Friday Farmers! As the weather starts to cool, I start plotting out my book list. Currently I am rereading a series, while anticipating the next installment. When I saw the digi stamp, Book Bestie, I knew that I wanted to create this card for myself. 

 

I used my Silhouette cutting machine to situate everything prior to printing. I then printed through the program, and used the print and cut option to cut out each piece of the

 

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this card came together once everything was cut out and colored. I cannot wait to create more fun projects using the

******************************************************************* 

When I saw the Mr. & Mrs. stamp set, I wanted to create something that could be used not just for a wedding. This colorway could be used for a fall themed wedding, homecoming, anniversary card, or just a fun surprise. 

I used a color palette with browns, reds, and oranges as the focus, then tailored the entire card around those colors. 

Even the flowers got colored with fall hues. Lastly, I used just the Cherish sentiment instead of the more wedding-themed ones. This way, the card could be used for anything. I cannot wait to see what fun, fall creations you make with this challenge.

THE GREETING FARM: Color Me Happy

Hello Farmers! Heather here with a fun and creative card that could be used for any occasion. I started by stamping all of images of the fun Anya Paints clear stamp set. I colored all of the images, matching the paint bucket to the same color I stamped the painted heart. 

 

I colored everything with Copic markers, then fussy cut each of the stamped images out. To finish all of the pieces, I used a mid-gray marker to take away any white paper that I might have missed when I cut around Anya, her cat, the stepladder, and the paint bucket.  

To create the decorative edge on the background paper, I used the same purple ink as the heart to stamp the paint-stroke pattern onto the paper. I added a lavender die cut paper to also create more interest. 

Once everything was placed, I just added the sentiment and the card was complete! I hope this little trick helps you create more with your The Greeting Farm stamps. Grab your Anya Paints clear stamp set soon!

THE GREETING FARM: Hey Book Lover

Hello Farmers! Heather here with a fun way to make it easy to craft and create a little more often. One of the tricks that I like to do whenever I stamp out anything for cards, is to stamp more images than I need. I keep those extra sheets of stamped images with my The Greeting Farm stamps, and when I want to color something without breaking out the stamping tools, I just dig through those images first. 

When I looked through the images that I had already stamped, I came up with a fun idea using three sets: Bookish Kids, Caffeine Critters, and Book Lover. I then hunted down some fun back to school papers, and used a fun foiled sentiment to finish off the card. 

 

Once everything was colored and cut out, I used a craft knife to cut around the hand, then used some foam tape to pop the coffee cup in the boys hand. I then popped the boy on some foam tape so he stands out in front of the bookshelf. Adding a little shadow under everything makes the scene more believable.

Once everything was placed, I just added the sentiment and the card was complete! I hope this little trick helps you create more with your The Greeting Farm stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!
