Last month’s challenge gallery is full of beautiful projects! A huge thank you to everyone who joined the fun!

Winners will be revealed on the 10th, so mark your calendars and check back to see if you’ve won. 

Didn't play in last month's challenge? You can still win because there will be at least three winners that will be picked from those who left comments on all posts we published here on the blog and on our Instagram account. If you want to increase your odds of winning, simply comment on all posts we published here and on Instagram from February 1. You have until March 8 to leave comments.

Anyway, it’s a brand new month, which means a brand new challenge is officially live!

{FEBRUARY 2026 CHALLENGE} Anything Goes

Well, we had an awesome turnout last month -- thank you so much to everyone who played! Winners will be announced on the 10th so be sure to stop by then to see if you're one of the lucky winners.

That said, it's a new month and a brand new challenge!

Before you link up your beautiful projects, though, please read our updated challenge rules.

Plus, we tweaked our challenge rules just a little bit:

* Each player may enter a maximum of 7 times. Any player who enters more than 7 times will not qualify for the prizes.

* If you use STAMPlorations exclusively (no stamps, dies, stencils, digis, stickers from other companies), then your project does not need to have any stamping on it to qualify. For example, you can enter a project wherein you used our cover plate die and word/phrase die.

The challenge is open until February 28, 11:59 pm Pacific time and the winners will be announced on March 10. Again, please read and follow our challenge rules if you want to qualify for the prizes.

Without further ado, here are the STAMPgirls with their projects for this month's challenge:

{April Theme and Photo Prompt Challenge}

Hello crafters! Welcome to the April Theme and Photo Prompt challenge. We are very happy that you are with us here today and hope you will enjoy this month's challenge. We were so impressed with your projects last month and can't wait to see what you share with us this month. As always, the ladies of the design team are sharing their stunning creations to inspire you.

Do check out our updated challenge rules and prize info here. As always, we have prizes for grabs if you play along - one of the DT members will pick their favourite project to win a $20 prize code ($25 if you used STAMPlorations products as the main/focal point in your entry) to the STAMPlorations store and two randomly drawn crafters will win a $10 prize code ($15 if you used STAMPlorations products as the main/focal point in your entry). The winners will be announced on May 10th, so don't forget to check in on that date if you play along.

Our April theme is Stamps and Text. As usual, we also have a photo prompt you can draw inspiration from. You can use the theme, the photo prompt or both to inspire your project. To be eligible for the prizes we ask that you follow a few very simple rules to make it fair and fun for everyone. You can link up a maximum of 3 projects (any kind!), no more, even if using different platforms. Your project is required to involve stamping of some kind (rubber, clear or digi stamps are all permitted). We love to see you use your STAMPlorations supplies, but any crafting supplies are allowed. Also, your project should be displayed in its full glory on your blog/Instagram/other platform, sneak peeks are not eligible for our challenges. Last but not least, don't forget to link to this post (find the link below) and make sure you add the challenge graphic to your post to qualify for prizes (if linking from a blog). All the challenge rules are summarised at the end of the post. And the most important rule is of course to have fun, get messy, inky and creative!

If you play, make sure you include the graphic in your post and link back (via text link) to this challenge post in order to qualify for our prizes :o) Please also read our simple rules, which you'll find toward the end of this post.
