The Greeting Farm - Let's Do Coffee

Hi everyone, Jo here. "Let's Do Coffee" is the theme. Today's card features images from Anya Combo 2 Kit and Store Fronts Digi Set. Do you like creating with digital stamps? Hybrid cards are one of my favorites to create, a combination of digital and stamped images.

Anya is from the limited edition Anya Combo 2 Jumbo Set. If you were able to recently pick this up, she is one of the images included. The sentiment "Let's Do Coffee" is a combination of a clear stamp "Let's Do" and a digital stamp "Coffee".

The building is from the Store Fronts Digi Set. I printed the image on 80lb Neenah Solar White CS. I layered the planter box in the front of the store and also placed the coffee image in the window.

All images are colored with Copic Markers. I inked up a cloud background and colored the pavement to ground the building.

The Greeting Farm - Just Friends

 Hi everyone, Jo here. I've created two cards featuring the newly released Just Friends Digital Stamp Set. If you are a fan of the show "FRIENDS" then this digital set is for you. Also, if you like creating scenes with different characters, this set gives that.


This first card shows all the characters included in the set. Keeping in the "Friends" show theme, can you guess who is who? I tried to created the iconic picture with all of them on the famous couch.


My second card features one character, Phoebe. Here she is playing her song "Smelly Cat" atop the table included in the set. I placed the guitar on her hands and the coffee mug next to her.


All the images here are colored with Copic Markers. I added a few musical notes and star sequins. The sentiment I used is "Thank you for your Friendship".


Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for our May 2023 Release.

The Greeting Farm - Welcome to the Neighborhood

Hi everyone, Jo here. How wonderful would it be to receive a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" card when moving into a new community? Today's card features images from: Miss Anya Sweaters Clear Stamp Set, You're So Tweet Clear Stamp SetMinkie Neighbors Clear Stamp Set, and the Porch Digi Stamp Set

This is a hybrid card put together with elements from clear stamps and digital stamps. All images are colored with Copic Markers. The background was created with a brick stencil and a combination of Distress Oxide Inks in Pumice Stone & Black Soot.

The topiary was pieced together with different sizes of the digital image. I placed it in a cute planter included in the Porch Digi Set. The sentiment is directly stamped on the digital door image. I fussy cut all the images and adhered it to the base of the card to create this warm welcoming scene. Lastly, I put the adorable bird on the very top of the topiary.
