2026 Challenge Rules - Please Read Before Linking Up!

04 January 2026 -- Hello, STAMPlorations friends! We are finally back after 4 years -- YAY! The STAMPgirls are back and so are our challenges!

For now, we're starting off with one challenge then we'll see how it goes. When I'm completely back into the swing of things, the plan is to bring back the other challenges.

And so -- on the 6th of each month, we have our Anything Goes Challenge.

Please read, understand, and abide by our challenge rules if you wish to participate to avoid being disqualified and having your entry removed.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

  1. You may enter as many times as you like, as long as your projects are in separate posts, regardless of the platform you use for linking up your projects (blog, Flickr, IG, Splitcoast, etc.)

  2. Your projects must be NEW, not something you created or posted prior to our challenge starting. Do not link projects you have shared or posted before the 6th of the month.

  3. Card and non-card projects are allowed -- you may enter scrapbook layouts, tags, mixed media, etc., as long as you hand-make your projects and...

  4. You must use stamps in your project(s) -- rubber, clear, or digi from any company. Non STAMPlorations stamps are OK (But please don't use our challenge to enter projects you make for promotional purposes.)

  5. Projects that make use of images taken off the internet (e.g., free/uncredited/unknown) as well as AI-generated images are not allowed. Please don't risk infringing on another's intellectual property and/or copyright. Any and all focal images you use in your projects must be credited (e.g., name the company that made/produced the stamp you used in your project). Give credit, especially if you were inspired by another crafter/artist. 

  6. No sneak peek projects. Full project photo must be displayed on your blog/IG/Flickr in order to qualify for the prizes.

  7. To qualify for  the prizes, you must display the challenge graphic and link back to the challenge post (for bloggers). If you are entering via IG, add the challenge graphic as a second photo and tag @stamplorations.

PRIZES
  • $25 prize code to the player who used a STAMPlorations product as the main/focal point in her project.
  • $10 prize code to two (2) players randomly picked from all entries

ABOUT PRIZE CODES
  • Prize codes expire 4 weeks (30 days or 1 month) from the date they are issued to winners.
  • Prize codes can be applied on all products (digital and physical) in the store (except for subscription products), before shipping. 
  • Prize codes issued to challenge winners are not transferrable. A prize code is tagged with the winner's name and if it is used by someone other than the one it was issued to, the order will be voided and the prize code will not be re-issued. If you have a prize code you don't intend to use, simply let it expire or email stamplorations@gmail.com so it can be deactivated.

CLAIMING PRIZES

Winners have two (2) weeks to claim their prize. The winners post is published on the 10th of the month, so winners have until the 24th of the month to claim their prize. Prizes not claimed by the 24th of the month are forfeited -- no exceptions.
