Hello and happy New Year 2026!!! I am so happy to share the first STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge with you guys!!! So this is the January 2026 Monthly Challenge with the theme: “anything goes!“.

For this challenge I created a card using Neocolor II crayons in purple with Gansai Tambi golden pigments on the background. I mixed the two to create colored, but sparkly stripes to the background. On top I have used Bloom Cutups ATC Ephemera as a cluster. In addition some color splatters and New Day Clear Stickers, adhered onto a piece of cardstock.

Challenge start is January 6th and it runs until 31st of January.

As always, there are prices to be won, too:

a) a winner of $25 credit to the STAMPlorations store chosen from the entries that use STAMPlorations products

b) a winner of $10 credit to the STAMPlorations store randomly chosen from all entries (you don´t need to feature a STAMPloration product for this category, so everyone can join and win this and this way, maybe also start their own STAMPlorations collection of awesome goodies).

Here are the rules to play by:

– Anything goes, any type of project, any style
– use of STAMPlorations products not a requirement
– link back to the particular challenge post (if blog entry) or tag @stamplorations if joining via IG
– multiple entries per crafter allowed
– pls. note: AI generated and free-off-the-internet images/designs are NOT allowed in projects
– be sure to read and understand the challenge rules listed on the STAMPlorations blog before linking up projects to avoid being disqualified and your entry from being removed

I hope you will be joining in with us again! It´s been a while, but we are all very excited to be inspiring you guys! Hope to see you join in!!

ps. as always, my DT Discount Code at the store is valid, so feel free to use it 🙂 !!!

That´s all for now! Be sure to check out the varios product categories in the STAMPlorations store. Also check out the blog – always good to know what is happening (hint, don´t miss any new offers, challenges and new product!!).

Happy to be back, crafting with STAMPlorations!
