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! 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

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!

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

For my card today, I used Be Cappy! I really wanted to create a scene using a few stamps, and decided to just draw everything. I created a lake effect using a mix of Copics and white Posca markers, then created a hillside going back into a grove of trees using just Copics. 

Once everything in the background was colored, I colored the stamped capybaras, I cut those out and adhered them with foam tape. I handcut a few banners, and stamped the sentiments and also used foam tape for those.  ~ Heather

THE GREETING FARM: You Make Me Happy!

For today's project, I wanted to play with a stamp set that I had purchased from The Greeting Farm a little bit ago, You Are My Sunshine. Currently,You Are My Sunshine is out of stock, but if you would like this retired stamp to be brought back for a future Farmer's Market - use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know!  

The start of this card was pretty simple. I stamped and embossed the little woodland creatures, then colored each of them with Copics. Once everything was colored and cut, I layered some pieces from one of the fabulous Diamond Press card kits I have, cutting the vellum to create contrast. Once everything was layered, I stamped the sentiment and used foam tape to give the characters more dimension  

If you would like to see theYou Are My Sunshine stamp set again, use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know! 

 

Thank you for stopping by, and happy creating!

THE GREETING FARM: Thanks A Sloth

 Hello Farmers! Heather here with a fun card featuring the Thanks A Sloth stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I recently was grabbing a few things in my basement, and happened upon these layered background paper sets from Diamond Press (Diamond Press Nature Scene Layered Die-Cut Paper), and new a jungle card was in my future. 

I used Copics to color the stamped sloth, then fussy cut him out. I put the background together, and placed the sloth so that he was hanging out of the plants. I popped the sloth onto foam tape to help him stand out just a bit more from the plants around him. 

Once everything was laid out and adhered, I stamped the sentiment towards the bottom in the empty space. Thanks A Sloth for looking at today's card, and happy creating!

Hello! I wanted to use the Big Birthday Kit stamp set for this fun project. I really liked the cute party girl that was included in the set as my main character. To make this seem more Christmas focused, I colored her in a bright red for her dress, and include included two green presents.

The larger present is from the Big Birthday Kit stamp set, but the smaller present that she is holding is actually cut from one of the other characters also in the set. To get the present alone, I simply stamped the other character colored the present and then cut the present out of his hands. And then foam taped that on top of the girl, and now she is holding a cute present. Once everything was colored and cut and assembled, I added a sweet Christmas style bow to her hair.

THE GREETING FARM: Fill Your Day with Small Surprises!

Hello Farmers, Heather here with a sweet surprise! This card features the Small Surprises stamp set. I love the cute bunny, and wanted to use a lot of pinks to mimic bubble tea and all of it's fun colors. 

I couldn't resist coloring this cute bunny in soft colors, adding some extra pink to his cute cheeks. I made sure to add some brown colors for the tapioca balls. 

Once everything was stamped and colored, I added the fun sentiment from the Small Surprises stamp set. I loved this sentiment as it's good for both birthdays and everyday joys. 

Lastly, I used an oval die to cute out the scene, popping it onto a Wavy Card Front background that I die cut from a few colors of pink paper. 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

THE GREETING FARM: Cat Mom Anya & Dungeon Crawler Carl (well, really Katia & Princess Donut)

Hello Farmers, Heather here with a little fun inspired by popular literature. I have been plotting a way to combine my love for reading with my love for crafting. I live nearish to Seattle, and nearby to the author of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, so the DCC fever is everywhere here. 

I started this card by creating my inspiration of Grand Champion, Breed Winner Regional, National Winner Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk (the cat) and Katia Grim (Anya). I used the Cat Mom Anya set for this card, but did a little tricky cutting to get this how I wanted it to look. Currently, Cat Mom Anya is out of stock, but if you would like this retired stamp to be brought back for a future Farmer's Market - use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know!  

I wanted to use the fluffy cat as my Donut, but there already was a cat in Katia's arms. To help build the scene and create a realistic look to this, I layered the cat so it covered the previous cat, stamped and cut new hands, and layered the hands so they looked like the cat was being held. I then placed the colored scene onto a stenciled and embossed background in the favorite pattern of Carl's (IYKYK). 

To complete this card, I created a banner sentiment (Add A Banner Challenge) using one of the stamps from the Cat Mom Anya set. I think this card might just stay home with me and my books! 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

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

Our JUNE 2026 Challenge is: ADD A BANNER

For this challenge, I grabbed the Artsy Kids set from The Greeting Farm. I really liked the ability to use fun art work in this one. I even cut out part of a cyanotype and added some marker to create a fun canvas. 

I added a background of mini stamps using all of the smaller stamps, then cut those into strips to create a background of banners. I used white embossing powder and Copic markers to color the images on kraft paper. 

 

The cute little girl is also colored with Copics, as is her accessories. Once those were all colored and cut, I popped them up on dimensional adhesive and created the scene. Adding one more banner with a sentiment, and the card is complete. 

 

The challenges 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. The full list of CHALLENGE RULES will be listed under the challenge album on Facebook.

THE GREETING FARM: Hi Honey, Bee Happy!

Hello! Heather here with a lovely card that is perfect for this in-between Spring and Summer season. The card features the lovely stamp set, Bee Happy. The stamp set is full of fabulous flowers, buzzing bees, and cute sentiments. 

I love hydrangeas, and wanted to create a background using these fabulous flowers. 

I started by using a light brown ink for the flowers, then colored each of them with a handful of pastel alcohol markers. I really wanted the base of the card mellow, so the cute bees stood out. 

I then colored each of the bees with bright yellow, and light blue on their wings. Once the bees were cut out, I popped them up with some dimensional adhesive over the stamped flight paths of each of the bees. 

I then stamped the Hi Honey sentiment on white paper, and layered that onto another strip of paper. Trimmed off the ends, and now it's a cute banner! I placed that onto the card, and now it's ready to send off!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card using Bee Happy, and happy creating!

THE GREETING FARM: Amelia's Friendly Garden

 Happy day! Heather here, and I'm excited to share today's project. Amelia's Garden is such a cute stamp set that I HAD to create another card with it. I loved all of the cute critters and scene additions.

I started by stamping and coloring all of the images from the  Amelia's Garden set with alcohol markers. I fussy cut all of the colored images and used a mid-range gray on the edges to finish each of the small images. This trick helps with any extra white paper that might not be cut perfectly. 

Once the images were colored and cut, I created the background using a frame die cut and a stamped background in A2 size. I used the smaller flower and the SHINE + GROW sentiment from the stamp set. Once the flowers were colored, I mapped out where the frame would cover the background and inked the edges of the white paper with green ink. This helped to tie the green frame into the card. 

Then I popped each of the creatures and details onto the frame with dimensional foam tape. 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!
