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!
