A new release to DIE for from The Greeting Farm!

** For my Avocado Arts Hop post please scroll down. **

The Greeting Farm is moving in a NEW direction, and we are so excited to unveil what you may have seen bits and pieces of after CHA!  Yes, the rumors are true!  While TGF will still continue to bring you the cute characters you've come to know and love, but they are expanding and bringing you a new collection of clear stamp sets that come packaged with....drumroll...... MATCHING DIES!

TGF took its time testing them until they found the perfect fit and we think you will love them!  They will work in any standard die cutting machine (Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Grand Calibur, etc.) and come tucked in with their matching stamp sets for an amazing price of only $10.50 per set!  Your papercrafting adventure just got a little more exciting, right?  The possibilities with these sets are endless and you'll see just what we're talking about when you hop with us today!

To celebrate this exciting news, The Greeting Farm has invited SIX guest bloggers to the party today, including yours truly. To say I am super excited over this awesome invitation is to put it mildly!! I love cute and CAS stamps. Thank you for the opportunity, Jessica. :)

Let's get on to the projects so you can see what I'm talking about! First up is my card using "Mini Cupcakes w/ die". Love, love, love how easy the whole things work. This set has various cupcake top & bottom designs that allow you  to create lots of different cupcake.



I just had to add candle for a little extra oomphh. ;) There's just something about having something stick out of the card.

Next card is using "Mini Flower w/ die". This set comes with various leaf that has different pattern. My favorite is the one with heart of course.



The 3rd set is "Mini Butterflies w/ die". There are 5 butterflies on this cute set and all can be used with the die of course. I used 3 of the butterflies on my card. Do you notice a trend by now?? Yes... I am ready for spring. Look at those pretty springy colors.


Then on my desk I found some rectangles that I cut out from patterned papers and in an effort to clean my desk from scattered paper I ended up with an extra card to showcase the other butterfly from the set.



Now, last but not least "Mini Clouds w/ die". I decided to use the cloud as non cloud though. Hah... In fact, I decided to pair it up with the cupcake bottom and create a hot air balloon. I add a bird that I cut using Silhouette and cover it with glitter for finishing touch.




Phew... quite a long post, isn't it? So, what do you think of these new sets from TGF? Please leave a comment & share your thoughts.

Be sure to stop by The Greeting Farm's blog once you complete the hop and enter for your chance to win ALL FOUR new stamp/die sets!  We cannot wait to see all of the super creative ways you are going to be able to use these new sets and will keep this contest open until NOON CST tomorrow so grab some snacks, have fun getting inspired on our hop and enjoy our new release that is simply, to "Die" for!
