Welcome to the STAMPlorations™ blog! We have a monthly challenge and welcome all types of projects. We spotlight projects by the design team, publish tutorials, host fun blog hops, and announce new products. Our goal: encourage you to "stamp with all your ART!" through our challenges, inspiration projects, events, and products.
Hello, STAMPfriends! Can you believe we're halfway through 2021? Plenty of new stuff and most especially...June is our BIRTHDAY month! STAMPlorations turns 8 this month and we have a fun birthday event for you all later in the month!
We have brand new challenges that started yesterday -- so check them out because we'd love for you to play! They're also the last challenges before the STAMPgirls go on summer break. Our challenges will resume in October but we've got lots planned here during the summer.
The Spring Fling Blog Hop and Linky party is still open! Link up to 5 of your spring inspired creations by Monday, June 7, for a shot at the prizes. Use a STAMPlorations product in your entry/entries to receive a bonus prize if you're picked a winner.
Our May posts are still open for commenting until the 8th so you still have time left to comment for a chance to win spending $$ on our store. We'll be picking SEVEN (7) winners of $15 prize code from comments left on ALL posts published during May. So comment on as many May posts as you can by Tuesday night to increase your odds of getting picked.
To keep updated on all the specials we're running in the store at any given time, be sure to bookmark our Current Promotions page. Even better, subscribe to the store's mailing list -- where we have special deals exclusive to subscribers + you get automatically entered into an exclusive drawing. For June, one lucky subscriber will win $75 spending money.
However, when you put at least $100 worth of products in your cart, you get 40% off instantly!

Hello crafters! It's time to kick off the June STAMPlorations stencil challenge. We hope you have your stencils at the ready and that you feel super inspired to get inky and play along with us. This is the last Stencil challenge of the 2021 Spring season. The Desing Team will take a few well earned months off and let their stencils rest, but fear not, they will be back again in October with more inspiration! If you play along with our challenge, don't forget to check in on the 10th of July to see if you are the winner of the $20 prize code to the STAMPlorations store or one of three randomly drawn crafters to win a $7 prize code.
We love to see your beautiful projects but to keep it fair and fun for everyone we have a few simple rules which you can also find at the end of this post. In addition to using a stencil on your project, we ask that you link up no more than three (3) projects per challenge. As always, our stencil challenge is anything goes as long as you use a stencil somewhere in your project. Also, remember that your project should be shown in its full glory on your blog post or Instagram, sneak peeks are not eligible to take part. Please don't forget to link back to this blog post via text link, and to include the challenge graphic to be eligible for the prizes. And above all, we hope that you have a lot of fun when you get creative with your stencils!
Hi CAS crafters! Welcome to the STAMPlorations June CAS Challenge. This will be the last CAS Challenge of the Spring 2021 season. The design team will take a few months off to re-charge their crafty batteries, and in line with previous years, they will be back again in October with more CAS goodness. But until the end of June they are here to share their crafts and I hope you will feel inspired to play along. I'm sure you know by now, but a reminder that every month one of the DT members picks their favourite to win a $20 prize code to the STAMPlorations store and three randomly drawn crafters receive a $7 prize code. If you play along, check back on July 10th when we announce the winners.
We have a few simple rules and we ask that you follow them so that playing along will be fun and fair to everyone. All the rules are summarised at the end of this post. Your challenge is to create a clean and simple (CAS) card with or without the optional color twist which this month is spring inspired light blue and cream. You may enter up to 3 CAS cards. Remember to link to this blog post (via text link) and display the challenge graphic to be eligible for the prizes. You can use any craft products you want, but if you have STAMPlorations stash, we would love to see what you create with it. And of course the most important rule - have fun and be creative!
Hello friends! Welcome to the June STAMPlorations Theme and Photo Prompt challenge. Thanks for joining us, I hope you are feeling crafty! This will be the last Theme and Photo Prompt challenge for the 2021 Spring season. The Desing Team will take some time to re-charge over the summer and they will be back again in October with more inspiration. And I'm sure you haven't forgotten that we have some lovely prizes for grabs if you play along - one of the DT members will pick their favourite project to win a $20 prize code to the STAMPlorations store and three randomly drawn crafters will win a $7 prize code. The winners will be announced on July 10th, so don't forget to check that post if you play along.
Our June theme is Stamps and 2 Colors. 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. 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!
