{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party ~ Holiday Reboot Kit ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another holiday card for day 7 of the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party!! Just today and tomorrow left to play along with the linky party. This week has gone by so fast!!

I inked up the super cute and sweet stamp from the Holiday Reboot Kit from our Sponsor The Greeting Farm using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in my mini misti and I applied pressure with the awesome Pressure Pal from our Sponsor Twiddler's Nook. I love using the Pressure Pal... it's especially helpful when my hands are hurting {darn arthritis!}. I colored up the sweet Anya from the kit with Copic markers and fussy cut her on the line. I used a black marker to color the edges of my cutting so it looks nice and neat.

Copic Markers used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Mouth: R20, R14, N4, N6

Hair: E33, E35, E37

Star: BG000, BG10

Scarf: BG000, BG10, BG15

Red Sweater: R20, R14, R27

Skirt / Boots: N2, N4, N6

Hand Muff: C0, C2

The Holiday Reboot Kit isn't available right now but if you'd like to add her {and all the other cuties in the kit} to your collection, you can check out the Farmers Market and submit a request via email... maybe the kit will be available for the next Farmers Market that's scheduled for April 23rd. Fingers crossed! Here's a couple cuties that are available if you're interested... Holiday Anya 11 and Holiday Anya 12.

I like to revisit some of our past sketches when I'm looking for inspiration. I went WAY back and chose BYSHC Sketch 9 for my card today. Another fave! I love the simple design with the tilt of the top panel.

I paired up cute Anya with the Knit Picky Winter Petite Paper Pack from Sponsor Lawn Fawn. The colors coordinate nicely with the colors I used for Anya. The Hawaiian Shores card stock from Papertrey Ink measures 3-5/8 x 3-3/4" and the knit pattern paper measures 2-3/4 x 3-5/8". I popped up Anya with some foam tape to add some dimension to the card. I finished off the card with a cute sentiment from the kit and card I added some confetti pieces from the White Glossy Card Bling from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs.

If you haven't already, stop by the {BYSHC} Spring into Christmas 2026 Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration!! I am blown away by all the inspiration being shared!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Gift of Joy ~ Gift Wrap Anya ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet holiday card featuring the new adorable Gift Wrap Anya digi stamp set from The Greeting Farm!! I love working with digital stamps! It's so fun to put a scene together on the computer and just print it off. 

I combined and resized all of these fun digis from the Gift Wrap Anya digi stamp set in a Word Document and then I printed it off on white card stock. I colored the images up with a bunch of Copic markers.

Here's the list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, E43, E44

Hair Bow / Sweater: BG10, BG34

Jeans: B95

Socks: C0, C2

Rug: E50, E51

Tree: YG11, G24, G46, R20, R14, R29, Y11, Y15, Y35, E21, E23, E25

Chair / Blanket: E21, E23, E25, YG11, G24, G46, R20, G14, R29

Cocoa / Cookies: BG70, BG72, C0, C2, E25, E51

Wrapping Papers / Boxes: R20, R14, YG11, G24, G46

Tree Wrapping Paper: R20, R14, R29, YG11, G24, G46, E21, E25

Gift Box: G82, YG63, C0, C2, V12, V15

Scissors: BG10, BG34, C3, C5

Tape Dispenser: RV000, RV02, C0, C2

Wall: BG70, BG72

Base Board: BG75

Floor: C0, C2, C3

I die cut the panel using a die from the Big And Little Chain Rectangle Dies from Gina Marie Designs. I adhered the die cut panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base that I flipped on the side for a landscape card.

I added some white Sakura Gelly Roll pen here and there on the card to add texture and interest to some of the colored images. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the card. It's actually covering the spot where I had the sentiment originally with the images. I wanted it to pop a bit more, but I would have made it a bit smaller and maybe add a mat if I redid this card. I hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Knitting Anya ~ Preview Day 2 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 2 of previews at The Greeting Farm for the amazing October release. KNITTING ANYA is up next and OMG! LOVE her!! You know I make cards, but I also knit and crochet... so this stamp set is perfect! I love the pup included too with the comfy sweater. Too cute!

I inked up Anya, the pup, and a couple of the yarn stamps. I stamped all the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers that coordinated with the colors in my papers {minus maybe the knitting, because I started coloring before picking the papers and then stopped, picked the papers and continued to color}. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: E70, E71, E74

Clothes: YR21, YR15

Knitting: B000, B00, BG000, BG34, RV10, RV02, V000, V12

Knitting Needles: C1, C3

Pup: E31, E35, E37, C0, C1

Pup's Sweater: YR20, YR31, YR23

Yarn Basket: E21, E25

Yarn in Basket: BG000, BG34, YR20, YR21, YR31, YR15

Yarn on the Side: YR20, YR21, YR15, C1, C3, C5, R20, R14

I went with a very classic design for this card and used pattern papers to create a scene. I used the I'd Rather Be Crafting paper pad from Echo Park Paper Co. I also used a piece of the pattern paper to paper piece Anya's chair. And another piece to mat the sentiment so it looks like a framed piece on her wall.

I fussy cut all of the colored images and colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I adhered the pup's nose to Anya's chair, and then the basket and yarn to the bottom of the chair. Next, I covered the back with foam tape and popped them all up on the card. I finished this one off with a few glittery enamel dots from my stash.

Such a fun card to make! Be sure to stop by the TGF blog to see all the makes from the design team. The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bewitched ~ Hocus Pocus ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I 'm sharing one more Halloween card. I couldn't help myself. It's my favorite holiday after Christmas. I inked up one of my favorite witches from the Hocus Pocus Big Kit.

So, I've been trying to ink up my neglected stamps, or at least ones that I haven't inked up before and I was surprised after I made this card that I have in fact inked up this cutie before. Haha... she's definitely a fave! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the Hocus Pocus big kit on the website. But if you'd like to add this sweet stamp {plus all of the others included in the kit} to your collection, you can check out the Farmers Market and submit a request via email... maybe she'll be available for the next Farmers Market. Fingers crossed!

I inked up this sweet witch and all of the accessory images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut them on the line and then I used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. This makes the fussy cutting look nice and neat. I adhered Anya to the cauldron and the frog to Anya and then I popped them up on the card with foam tape.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: B000, B00, B91

Hat: N2, N4, N6, YR20, YR15, YR68, V12, V06, V17 

Dress: N2, N4, N6, C0, C1, C3, V12, V06, V17

Boots: N2, N4, N6

Cauldron: YR20, YR15, YR68, N2, N4, YG11, YG23

Frog: YG11, YG23, G07

Stars: Y11, Y15, Y35

I inked smooshed a fun background using Uncharted Mariner and Villainous Potion Distress Inks. I also spattered the background with some Villainous Potion Distress Ink. I dried the background with a heat tool and then trimmed it to 4 x 5-1/4". The card stock was pretty warped from the ink smooshing so I adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base and then tucked it under my mat to let the glue cure for a bit. Doing this made the background nice and flat.

I stamped the fun 'Bewitched' sentiment directly on the card to finish it off. Now I did plan to add glossy accents to the glasses but I forgot and took my photos. Oops! I think I probably still will do that. I'm so happy to add another fun Halloween card to my stash! I sure hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Stay Wicked ~ Wicked Anya ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm getting excited for Halloween! Playing with the new Wicked Anya 2 reminded me of the cute Wicked Anya so I thought I'd ink her up for another Halloween card.

I've been inking up my neglected stamps and I can't believe that I haven't inked up this cutie before! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find Wicked Anya on the website. But if you'd like to add her to your collection, you can check out the Farmers Market and submit a request via email... maybe she'll be available for the next Farmers Market. Fingers crossed!

I inked up the adorable Wicked Anya and her sweet kitty companion with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut them on the line and then I used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. This makes the fussy cutting look nice and neat. I popped up Anya and the kitty on my card with lots of foam tape.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04

Hair: E21, E23, E25

Hat: N0, N2, N4, N6, YR20, YR21, YR15, YR27, C0, C2

Dress: N0, N2, N4, N6, YG11, YG63, YG95

Kitty: R00, R20, N0, N2, N4, N6

Kitty Hat: YG11, YG63, YG95, YR21, YR15, N0, N2, N4

Kitty Cape: YG11, YG63, YG95

I paired up Anya with the Hocus Pocus Palette {paper pack} from Unity. I die cut the papers and a piece of black card stock to ground Anya and the kitty using the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from Unity. I adhered those pieces together and then adhered them to a black A2 card base.

I stamped, trimmed and popped up the sentiment with foam tape. Another fun Halloween card for my stash! I sure hope I've inspired you to get inky!

Inky Hugs,

Holiday Anya 13 ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the September release! Today we're introducing HOLIDAY ANYA 13... today's super sweet stamp set includes the adorable Anya with a couple cool penguins and bunch of accessory stamps! All so super cute and fun!

I stamped Anya with her cute penguin friend, the tree, the gifts, and the pine sprigs with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them all with Copic markers. Fussy cut each of them on the line {except for the pine sprigs} and then colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker making the edges nice and neat.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair: Y21, YR23, YR24

Hair Band: YG11, G24, G46, R20, R14, R27

Coat: C0, C2, YG11, G24, G46, N2, N4, N6

Penguin: N2, N4, N6, R00, R20, YR20, YR15, C0, C2, Colorless Blender

Gifts: R20, R14, R27, E21, E25, E18, YG11, G24, G46

I paired up Anya with the Sweater Weather 6x6 Paper Collection from Brutus Monroe. I used oval dies from Newton's Nook Designs called Oval Frames for all my ovals. The embossing folder I used behind Anya is from Spellbinders and it's called Nordic Noel.

Anya is popped up with foam tape. I adhered the tree to the gifts and then popped those up with foam tape too. I adhered the sprigs to the card and they needed a little something so I added a few confetti pieces from A Colorful Life Designs called Hologram Red Card Bling. Please note: one sentiment contains a small typo - no worries! You'll receive the corrected version as a downloadable digital file. So I printed the sentiment, trimmed it, and then adhered it directly to the card. 

The release goes live in the store on Monday the 15th at 12am EST! Woohoo! Be sure to come back then for the release Blog Hop!! One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift card to The Greeting Farm. All you have to do is comment on the hop! Yay!

I stamped Anya and all the magical elements with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored the images up with Copic Markers. I fussy cut them all on the line and colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker making the fussy cutting all nice and neat. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

I paired up this fun set of stamps with some Halloween papers from Unity called Haunted Hues {paper pack}. I had originally planned on making a portrait card but I wanted to use so many of the fun stamps, I had to turn the card for a landscape card. I remembered I had a Cobweb die from Tim Holtz in my stash so I die cut a piece of black card stock and added that fun piece to the top left corner.

I adhered all of the elements directly to the card except the heat embossed sentiment and Anya. Both of those are popped up with foam tape. I adhered the panel directly to a white A2 top fold card base that I turned on the side for a landscape card.

This fab new Anya with all the magical elements will release in the store on the 15th at 12am EST. Come back tomorrow for preview day 2.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Birthday Girl Anya ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the August release! Today we're introducing BIRTHDAY GIRL ANYA... today's super sweet stamp set includes the adorable Anya with a cute kitty and a cake and some other cute accessory stamps! All so fun!

I stamped Anya, the cake, the table, and kitty with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. Fussy cut each of them on the line and then colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker making the edges nice and neat.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Freckles: E33

I paired up Anya with some old papers from Stampin' Up that's been in my stash for quite awhile. I think the party theme of the papers really worked nicely with these stamps. I die cut the background layer with the largest die from the Postage Stamp {nesting dies} and the garland paper was die cut using a die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}, both from Unity.

I stamped and trimmed the sentiment and adhered it directly to the card. I popped up the kitty with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with three rhinestones from the Frosty Rhinestones from Gina Marie Designs.

Inspiration for my card comes from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 34. This has been a fun sketch to play with. I invite you to join us over at the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group and play along with the sketch. There's just under two weeks to get entries in for this fun sketch challenge.
