The Greeting Farm --- February Release and a new challenge

 

The February 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 MONSTER HUGS features four mischievous, yet lovable creatures known for their jagged teeth and playful expressions. Next, we have PETS & KIDS, an adorable, feel-good set celebrating the sweet bond between kids and their favorite pets. Lastly, we have SCOOTING BY ANYA, a set perfect for friendship cards, hello cards, or sending words of encouragement. 

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. 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 that fits the challenge theme.

Our first challenge of 2026 is a SKETCH CHALLENGE. 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 my card I used the darling MOnster Hugs set and follow the sketch!

MONSTER HUGS: The Greeting Farm February Preview Day 1

 Happy Wednesday, Farmers!

We’re kicking off  Day 1 of Previews for The Greeting Farm February 2026 Release, and we’re starting with something adorably monstrous! This month, we’re introducing three new clear stamp sets that will be available on the 15th at 12am EST.

We’re also shaking things up with our monthly prize format! Instead of a blog hop, we’ll now be hosting monthly challenges over in The Greeting Farm Fan Page Facebook Group. Each challenge will run from the 15th of the month through the 14th of the next, giving you plenty of time to create something magical for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to The Greeting Farm Store. Be sure to stop by on the 15th to see what our first challenge of the year will be!

Introducing… MONSTER HUGS!

These sweet little monsters are ready to bring smiles, giggles, and—of course—BIG monster hugs! Today’s card features three of these cuties all dressed up and ready to leap off the card with love.

Card Details:

• I created the background using a bubble stencil blended with soft pinks, greens, and browns of Distress Oxide Ink. 
• The panel was then die-cut with a stitched border and layered over a soft green card base.
• The sentiment “BIG Monster HUGS” was stamped in brown ink to coordinate with the color palette.
• Each monster was colored with Copic markers, die cut using my Scan & Cut, and popped up on foam adhesive for extra dimension.
• To finish the card, I added a few pastel enamel dots in the corner plus tiny stamped sparkles and hearts from the set. 

Be sure to visit The Greeting Farm blog to see the rest of the Design Team’s monster sized cuteness using this new set! And don’t forget—tomorrow we’ll be back with Day 2 of our sneak peeks.

Hugs!
