The Greeting Farm March 2026 Stamp Feature Day 3: CAT MOM ANYA

Happy Wednesday friends! We are on our last day of Stamp Features for the March 2026 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Joni and I are on the Blog this week showcasing the new release. 

Today's set called CAT MOM ANYA captures the special bond between a cat mom and her furry companion. Purrfect for cat lovers, this set also includes playful elements like a curious kitten, a cozy cat condo, a fish, yarn ball, and heart. Whether you're creating something for a fellow cat lover or celebrating your own furry family member, Cat Mom Anya brings warmth, cuteness, and a little bit of purr-sonality to every project.  


To create the scene, I used patterned paper. I colored the images with Copic Markers and fussy cut them out. I raised some of the images with foam tape for extra dimension. 


Instead of a blog hop every month, we are having 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 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 challenge for March is: ADD SOME GREEN. To enter, upload your card to the Challenge Album in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group (challenge rules will be shown under the Album). 


Be
 sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store to grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share your creations. We can't wait to see what you make for the new challenge! 

Hugs,
Rosie

The Greeting Farm March 2026 Stamp Feature Day 1: BE CAPPY

Happy Monday friends! We are on Day 1 of Stamp Features for the March 2026 New Release at The Greeting Farm. This month, TGF introduced three new stamp sets which are all available now for purchase. Joni and I are on the Blog this week showcasing the new release. 

Today, I am featuring BE CAPPY, an adorable stamp set featuring five relaxed and playful capybaras enjoying life in the cutest ways! Each cappy has its own personality from lounging peacefully among flowers, to floating with a cool drink, to frolicking in the fields, to cuddling up with sweet treats. This set is perfect for creating uplifting cards, scrapbook pages, and happy mail.  


I created the background scene using an AI program, printed it out, and adhered it to a 5.5" x 7" card base. I probably could have gotten away with the standard 5 x 7, but it would have been a little more cramped.


I stamped the capybaras on kraft cardstock, and colored the nose area and feet with Copic markers. The rest of the capybara image was colored with colored pencils. There is definitely a learning curve with pencils, and I need more practice! 

The falling leaves, heart, strawberries and flowers at the bottom of the card were stamped on Xpress It Coloring Card, and colored with Copic Markers. I fussy cut each stamped image, and glued them flat to the card. There's no foam tape raising any of the images....shocking, I know, haha!

The coordinating Sheep Faces Stamp Set are so cute and hilarious. The sentiments in the new Wool Done Stamp Set + Outline Dies are so awesome! These woolly guys definitely need to be a part of your collection!


I used Rectangle Dies 1 to cut out two white frames. I then cut two grassy knolls using Border Dies 2 from patterned paper. I cut a cloud border using Border Dies 2, and inked around the edge to create the cloud background on the card base. I glued the grass to the back of the white frames and layered everything with foam tape to create a layered shadowbox effect.

*********************************
The temperature is warming up (it was in the 80s today), and it's making me miss Hawaii. My husband is half Hawaiian. Visiting his home and seeing where he spent his youth makes me want to move there. Hawaii feels like home every time we visit. So for today's card I'm bringing Hawaii to me and to you. ALOHA!
 
 
To create this scene I used Tropical Dies, Large Palm Tree Die, and the Aloha Word Die. I cut a small circle from washi tape to place above the blue paper before I glued it down, and inked up around the circle to create the sunset sky using Distress Oxide Ink.
