THE GREETING FARM - APRIL 2026 NEW RELEASE & CHALLENGE!

The April 2026 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first stamp set called SMARTY PANTS features a charming lineup of book loving critters, and captures the cozy, playful side of learning. Next, we showcased a delightful picnic-themed set called FINE DAY ANYA, with our adorable Anya wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat enjoying a picnic basket full of goodies. Lastly, we introduced DON'T FROGET, a set with cute, whimsical frog illustrations paired with sweet, punny sentiments.  

Instead of a blog hop every month, we are doing challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store. You guys have asked for more challenges so we are giving you one every month! The challenges will 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 full list of rules will be listed under the challenge album on Facebook. SCROLL to the bottom of this post to see March's WINNER!

Our April 2026 Challenge is: RULE OF THREE
(use 3 specific elements on your card like 3 images, 3 patterned papers, or 3 embellishments, etc.)

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).
(Click on "Media" > "Albums". Find the challenge album for the month and click on it. Click on "Add Photos". After you upload your card to the album, leave a comment under your card so it shows up on the Discussion page.) 

For this month's challenge, I used threes, thrice. Three little creatures, three paper airplanes, and three strips of paper from one of my most favorite Sassafras Lass papers. 

I couldn't resist creating some motion lines with a white gel pen. 

These two are just too adorable, And the little hedgehog is just studying quietly. 

We are so excited to see your take on this challenge! We will have more cards featuring the New Release from our Design Team Leaders starting on the 16th so be sure to stop by The Greeting Farm Blog to see more inspiration.

THE GREETING FARM: Fine Day Anya - April 2026 New Release

Day 2 of Previews for the April 2026 NEW Release is here, and this stamp set is perfect for Spring and Summer. Last week we shared Smarty Pants, and this week we will share the next two April sets that will be available for purchase on the 15th at 12am EST 

Meet Fine Day Anya, a super sweet gal, sharing her picnic with a fun little bird and hedgehog. I couldn't resist cutting a fun piece of gingham for a cute blanket underneath. I will fully admit - the blanket was a trial and error thing, and it took awhile to get the "right" size and shape. 

Just to remind you, we are changing things up starting this month for the prize! Instead of a blog hop every month, we are going to do challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store!

Stay tuned to the 15th to see our new challenge for April!! I'm excited for this month's challenge, and I hope you are also!

Isn't she just adorable?!?! I loved adding some pink to her cheeks, as I am SO ready for summer to be here.  The little additional stamps made for a cute scene, especially when paired with some fun stencils that I forgot that I had. 

Grab your Fine Day Anya set from The Greeting Farm on April 15 at 12am EST!

THE GREETING FARM: Thanks A Sloth Card Set

 

For today's post, I bring you a pair of cute sloth cards using the Thanks A Sloth stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I just adored the cute sloths, and have been waiting to use these on a few fun projects. 

I couldn't figure out which of the sloths to create a card with, so just made two of the same style of card, with a few tweaks to each one. 

 

I colored both sloths at the same time, so they were easy to match using alcohol markers. Once colored, I cut both out with a sharp pair of scissors. 

Then I used an arch die to cut out a window, then stamped the sentiment below. I inked the background with a cloud stencil from Lawn Fawn, then layered the sky behind the frame. I grabbed one of my tropical die sets from Diamond Press and cut out a bunch of leaves. 

 

I created a pair of scenes by changing up how the leaves were used. They became a seat for the birthday sloth, and a tree canopy for the hanging sloth.

THE GREETING FARM: Welcome to the Minkie Neighborhood

For today's project, I wanted to play with a stamp set that I had purchased from The Greeting Farm a little bit ago, Minkie Neighbors. Currently, Minkie Neighbors is out of stock, but if you would like this retired stamp to be brought back for a future Farmer's Market - use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know!  

 

I also wanted to continue the love for the "Use Some Green" challenge over at the The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group. Make sure to check out the last post and see more of how you can win a $50 gift card to The Greeting Farm as well!  

The start of this card was pretty simple - use as much green as you can! I colored most everything with green Copic markers, then added skin and hair, and a few extra details. Once everything was colored and cut, I used a few shades of green paper, stamped a bunch of bricks, and added some gold watercolor paint to create details. 

Then I popped everything up on dimensional foam, added a sentiment, and arranged in all as if each little Minkie Neighbor was popping their heads outside of their apartments on a fun, spring day. 

Make sure to check out the March "Use Some Green" challenge over at the The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group, and if you would like to see the Minkie Neighbors stamp set again, use the Contact Page on the store website to let The Greeting Farm know! 

 

Thank you for stopping by, and happy creating!

The March 2026 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first stamp set called BE CAPPY features five relaxed and playful capybaras enjoying life in the cutest ways. Next, we showcased BOOKISH KIDS, a set celebrating the joy of learning and perfect for classroom-themed cards, teacher gifts, and encouragement projects. Lastly, we have CAT MOM ANYA, a set that brings warmth, cuteness, and a little bit of purr-sonality to every project. 

Instead of a blog hop every month, we are doing challenges in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store. You guys have asked for more challenges so we are giving you one every month! The challenges will 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 full list of rules will be listed under the challenge album on Facebook.

Our March 2026 Challenge is: USE 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).
(Click on "Media" > "Albums". Find the challenge album for the month and click on it. Click on "Add Photos". After you upload your card to the album, leave a comment under your card so it shows up on the Discussion page.)

For this month's contest, I used ALLLLL of the green Copics I could find, coloring everything except the two Bookish Kids green. I loved creating the green-tinted glasses amongst all of the other fun features. I paired all of the colored images with a fun rainbow paper from Diamond Press. Rather than adding a sentiment, I am just leaving it like this. 

Check out the AMAZING cards from our Design Time featuring the new products! Please leave them some love!
