Hello, crafty friends! Cynthia here sharing a bright, colorful card! I’ve been rebuilding my card stash and I’ve been slacking with birthday greetings!
I created a birthday card using Positive Couple and a sentiment from Everyday Script! This set has quickly been one of my favorite sets, so perfect for any handmade card! I Copic colored Anya up in greens and yellows and added some fun glasses. I gave her sandy blonde hair and a little tan!
I stamped the sentiment on a word bubble, added a small punched heart and used a rainbow colored background for this card.
Thanks for stopping by!

For this design, I've used two digis - the Happy Easter Anya digi set and the Porch digi set. That's it! It is so much fun to create your own scenes with digi stamps.
Digis are really very easy to use. I assembled my layout in Canva, and then downloaded the design as a .jpg file in order to print out - perfectly to size. You can imagine how you want your whole creation to fit together and your project is sure to be unique every single time!
Hope this design inspires you to work on a digi layout today!
I used all three to create this little family having fun on a Eater egg hunt. I created the scene on a word document and added the sentiment on top. Printed it and colored all the images with Copic markers.
I cut the scene with a border die and added to a patterned paper with foam adhesive for some dimension. I finished the card by adding glitter on all flowers, hats and easter eggs and added some matching enamel dots on the top corners.
Hope you all have a blessed Easter!
XOXO

I know the song is sad and so haunting, but I love it and had been wanting to make this idea for a while, and the other day I got to work. I found the hair I liked on a Cheeky Girl from a previously release Big Kit called Cheeky Girly Girls. And the dress and body I preferred was on the Cheeky Divas “Sia” image. I began by masking the body on one image, stamping, and then lining up the neck with head, and masking the face of the Sia
Because of the nice large stamp sizes, it was easier than other times I’ve done this, and I was able to use a white gel pen to erase a smudge and a black COPIC Multi liner to fill in the patchy area when the images connected. I colored my new image in with her yellow dress and platinum ponytail. It was perfect! I also used two of the accessories from the Cheeky Divas set, the microphone and the Grammy.
I stamped a positive sentiment onto a wavy banner so my card didn’t seem said, and I printed up some lyrics that I die cut a word bubble for. Everything was adhered to my custom mini slimline shaker set and filled to the brim with sparkling stars and sequins. I feel like it has a Glam appearance and if you look carefully, there are some Barbie icons on the back point patterned paper.
I hope this fun card is inspiring to you and that you shop your stash to make some new projects. Always remember that there are enough requests for previous stamp sets, that The Greeting Farm might re release them! Thanks for stopping by,
Davina

I colored the little cat with Copic markers to match my Oreo. The image was fussy cut and added to the circle die cut with foam adhesive. I also stamped and fussy cut the HI sentiment.
For the background I used the little mouse toy and ball yarn from the set and stamped with different colors. Sentiment was stamped in black and I finished the card with some enamel dots.
Thanks fo stopping by!
Hugs, Elisabete
I used an older cloudy sky die cover that I had in my collection. I like that it had many smaller clouds all over. I tend to put lots of images onto my scenes, so I like to know that some of the background stuff will be visible. I inkblended that sky panel in shades of blue and layered it over a shimmery white background. I also added an inky grassy hillside to the bottom for my cuties to stand upon.
After stamping and coloring my images, I cut them out with my scan n cut then added some highlights to their hair. I had to add little pug from Mini-Remix Sunshine set (I am a pug lover so it had to be done) I added a shadow die cut sentient to the top and bright yellow sun to balance the scene. And of course no card is complete without some sparkly sequins.
I hope you enjoy this sunshine filled scene until true Spring starts to set in, thank you for stopping by, Davina

I printed them both using my Canon printer and colored them in coordinating colors of creams, corals, blues, and greens.
I also printed out the sentiment included with the Ian image and die cut it with a word bubble die. I used a heart punch and added them to the sentiment.
I used patterned paper and a color blocking die as the background to complement Anya and Ian’s outfits.

I used Copic paper for the poastage backgound. I stamped all the animals first and masked them. I then worked on the background with a cloud stencil in diffrent shades of pink using Distress Ink Oxides. After I used a heart stencil and with a little darker pink I stenciled them into the clouds. I colored all the images with Copic markers and I added the sentiments. I matted the panel with black cardstock and a heart patterened paper.
A perfect Valentine's to all animal lovers.
Thanks for stopping by!

I decided on my big Coffee Beans Kit and got to work. This large set was once a Farmers Market pre order set, and it has sat for way too long on my shelf unopened. I started by stamping out 4 of the 11 characters, the coffee bar, and a few mugs. Before coloring my images, I decided on the papers I would be using, so I could color to match.
I built my box card and inserts using a slimline die set, and pretty papers from Doodlebug Designs. I colored all of my images using COPIC and Ohuhu markers, then cut out with my Scan n Cut. I swear now that my machine is super old, it cuts better than ever, with way less clean up needed.
I adhered my images to my box design using a micro tip hot glue gun. I always get the best results using my glue gun on these types of cards. I finished it with a cute embossed sentiment of the front and a colorful stamped sentiment, from the stamp set, on the back. I lieu of sequins, I added several die cut and inked coffee beans to the front for a little extra pizzazz.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this box card design, Davina]]>I created this card using both the new digital and the set called Everyday Script. I colored up the image with Copic Markers. I chose some dark skin tones and bright reds for this image.
I chose a heart filled die for the background and added a soft pink patterned paper to soften the red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on a heart die and added a little pink button tied with twine to finish the card!
Hope you are all working on Valentine’s Day cards filled with hearts! Thanks for stopping by!
]]>For today's TMT, I wanted to do a fun trend I've seen in the art world where they 'reimagine' favorite characters in different art styles. I thought of this trio - Linus, Chuck, and Franklin - immediately when I saw the Anya & Ian Big Kit:
For Linus, I colored in his red striped shirt and then his jacket as if it was his beloved blue blanket. Charlie Brown's hoodie was the perfect design for his iconic chevron pattern, and Franklin's orange/blue outfit was so much fun to do. I really wanted to include a fun Snoopy! Due to space constraints, I used b/w patterned paper, then added a red "roof" from his doghouse instead.
I think it's adorable that Peanuts characters are still so popular after all these years! When I was just a toddler, we had a dog named Charlie Brown. I now have a white and black dog (Riley), and a yellow bird (Yoshi) that we've nicknamed Snoopy and Woodstock. :)
I would love to know if you've ever reimagined a TGF image for a fun project! Be sure to join us on our Facebook Fan Page to share your ideas and cards. We'd love to have you there.
Have a wonderful day and happy crafting to you!

I use the Minkie Friends clear stamps a lot - they are teeny little people whose expressions pack a wallop in lifelike character. They are a pleasure to work with.
The background is also created using stamps! The stamp sets used for that are the new Be Mine clear stamps and Miss Anya Samoyed clear stamps!
It's easy to create the fun Valentine background - here's how you do it. You'll need 3 colors of ink, and 3 heart stamps - one color for each heart. I used the conversation heart stamp from the Be Mine set, and the 2 hearts from Miss Anya Samoyed for this.
Once you have paired stamps with inks, all you do is stamp away! It's really that easy.
Hope you're inspired to create with love and hearts today!
For my final project, I have made a mermaid hanging using three of the gorgeous mermaid digi stamps - Coralina Merbean, Leela Merbean and Mermaid Anya (this one must be retired as she is no longer in the store, but I have her saved from 2015!) I found these MDF boards in a box the other week, which I had completely forgotten I had. They turned out to make the perfect project for this post!
]]>Good morning Greeting Farm fans and welcome to my final guest designer post for The Greeting Farm for this month. Thank you so much to Rosemary for inviting me to join you all again. I have thoroughly enjoyed making all my cards and projects with these fabulous stamps!
For my final project, I have made a mermaid hanging using three of the gorgeous mermaid digi stamps - Coralina Merbean, Leela Merbean and Mermaid Anya (this one must be retired as she is no longer in the store, but I have her saved from 2015!) I found these MDF boards in a box the other week, which I had completely forgotten I had. They turned out to make the perfect project for this post!
I painted each board with a combination of baby blue and pearlescent blue acrylic paints before adding lots of seaweed, coral and shell die cuts. I joined the boards together with some aqua ribbon and added a different ribbon to the top before adding my mermaids on top with foam pads. I also dotted some Nuvo Glitter drops around them as well. The sentiment comes from the Mermaids Galore kit (retired, but can be requested to be brought back for a future Farmers Market).
You can read more about my project over on my blogpost. I would love for you to stop by!
Thank you all for having me and I hope to be back someday!
