THE GREETING FARM: Bookish Kids - March 2026 New Release

Day 2 of Previews for the March 2026 New Release is here, and I cannot wait to share today's project. This month we are introducing 3 new clear stamp sets that will be available for purchase on the 15th at 12am EST. So far, we have introduced Be Cappy. 

We are changing things up starting this month for the prize! Instead of a blog hop every month, we are going to do challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store!   

The challenges will start on the 15th of each month and run until the 14th of the next month, so you have several weeks to work on your project that fits the challenge theme. Stay tuned to the 15th to see our new challenge for March!!  

Day 2 of The Greeting Farm March Preview brings us Bookish Kids. There are two cute kids along with a lot of fun school-focused details. 

I love creating things that are school focused, and the Bookish Kids stamp set is no different. I loved the little backpack, the stack of books, and the fun glasses. I even tried to create a tortoiseshell look to the glasses. 

 Grab your Bookish Kids set from The Greeting Farm on March15th at 12am EST!

AUTHENTIQUE PAPER: Christmas in July

For today's post, I have a trio of fun Christmas Tags using our Jingle Collection. It was easy to create some wonderfully colorful and fun tags with a few of the 12x12" papers, some stamps, and ribbon ends that I had in my stash. 

The first of the tags that I had was this fun cocoa flavored tag. I paired a sweet little cup of cocoa stamp set from my stash with the wonderful papers from Jingle Three.

The wonderful marshmallows were just too adorable. The adorable Santa image is from the NEW Jingle Elements, die cuts that are pre-punched out for you!

Tags are a great way to use up some of those smaller elements that are just lying around in your stash. In this case, the star has been hanging out in my stash for over a year. Use up those fun little details on tags!

I couldn't resist pairing this wonderful image from the Elements sheet on this tag. The adorable Santa just looked perfect against the marshmallows of Jingle Three.

The second of the trio of tags focused on the wonderfully, vintage Santa from the Jingle Eight cut-apart sheet. The doily behind the Santa was from the reverse of Jingle One. I loved the peek-a-book look of the patterned paper behind the main image.

Again for this tag, I used little scraps of ribbons to create the attachment bows. Don't be afraid of using just small ribbons. By using a tiny attatcher or stapler, you can secure even the smallest of ribbon scraps.

For the last tag, I pulled out one of my absolute favorite Christmas stamp and die sets, Light Parade by Brandi Kincaid. I just love this image of the little girl (there is also a boy). I colored her to mimic one of my own little girls, and paired a non-traditionally Christmas rainbow ribbon scrap with the fun patterns of Jingle Two.

I really loved the little Christmas tree snowglobes from the Jingle Two paper, and the sentiment from the Elements die cut page. The colored image works perfectly with all of the papers.

I hope this inspires you to start your Christmas tag collection going! I cannot wait to add these to my Christmas tag stash, for those extra-special presents!

Diamond Press Stamps and Die Sets - INSTAGRAM GIVEAWAY

Recently I was introduced to a fantastic (new to me) company, Diamond Press by the fabulous Beth Kingston of Kingston Crafts. Diamond Press has great stamp and die sets that make crafting super fun and easy. So easy in fact, my kiddos were able to craft and create without any assistance from me. They have a mini die cut and embossing machine that is just amazing.

Isn't it just the cutest? I was pleasantly surprised on both how easy it was to really use, as well as how well it works. I really loved how well all of the stamps and dies worked together. Some of the stamps have matching die cuts, and some of the die cuts work by themselves. There are even great sentiments that go along with each set.

Everyday Words Nesting Cutting Dies Bundle 
This die cut set made sweet tags that you can use with sentiments, or by themselves with a stamp. I added some gorgeous ribbons to dress these up just a little more. A super easy tag, that looks fabulous in just a few minutes. 

Check out the video for these tags!

 In The Kitchen Stamps, Dies, Inks and Embossing Folders (airs 2PM EST / 11 AM PST)

This is probably one of my favorite stamp and die sets now. I just loved the little Kitchen-Aid style mixer. It's just too fun to add interesting colors to. These images were easy to color and add details to with both my Prismacolor pencils and Chameleon Markers. The fussy cut images were all edged in black marker to cover any cutting issues.

(I loved these cute recipe cards!)

Nature Stamps, Die Cuts, Inks and Embossing Folders (airs 11 PM EST / 8 PM PST)

I loved the stand-alone dies in this set. The bow was just a perfectly interesting bow with a lot of sweet detail, and the birds and butterflies were just too adorable when colored. 

 

Two crafters, Pam and Mistyana and I have a great giveaway* that we are launching on Instagram later today! Make sure to check out my Instagram later this morning for the details*!
