Release Day Blog Hop ~ Maddox the Dog ~ The Greeting Farm


The August 2025 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. EMOJI COUPLE is an extra fun set featuring a studious Anya and Ian, along with Emoji signs so you can personalize your projects with feelings. Next, we showcased MADDOX THE DOG which comes with a studious pup carrying a stack of books, a helpful dog holding a letter, and a cheerful standing canine full of charm. Lastly, we are ready to celebrate in style with BIRTHDAY GIRL ANYA, who is dressed in a beautiful 2-tier ruffle dress with flowers in her hair ready to bring a graceful touch to all your birthday cards. 


I am LOVING the cute pups from the MADDOX THE DOG stamp set... just THE cutest!! I made a simple card with the standing pup and the single flower.


I stamped the adorable pup and flower using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut the pup on the line and colored the edges with a black marker to make the fussy cutting nice and neat. I fussy cut the flower leaving a white border. I've found this to work better with images that have just a single line.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:
Dog: C0, C2, C3, C5, N2, N4, N6
Shirt Y11, Y15, Y38
Flower: R20, R14, R27, YG11, G07


I paired up the pup with some fun papers from my stash called Magic and Wonder 6x6 Paper Pad from Echo Park Paper Co. I kept my card simple with an easy past sketch from Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration.
