Introducing the Spellbinders Monthly Cardmaking Challenge | January 2026 Glam (Now Closed)

We’re excited to introduce something brand new on the Spellbinders blog — the Spellbinders Monthly Cardmaking Challenge! This challenge is all about celebrating handmade cards, connecting with fellow crafters, and inspiring creativity using the Spellbinders products you already love.

Whether you’re a longtime Spellbinders fan or just getting started, this monthly cardmaking challenge is designed to be fun, inspiring, and community-driven.

We’re launching this as a test for several months, beginning January 5th, and we’d love for you to join us and help shape the future of this creative community feature.

January Challenge Details

Challenge Dates: January 5th – 26th.

For our very first Spellbinders Monthly Cardmaking Challenge, we’re turning up the sparkle! January Glam is all about foiling, metallics, and anything shiny.

Create at least one brand-new handmade card using current Spellbinders products and add a touch of glam wherever you like. Think:

• Glimmer Hot Foil details

• Metallic cardstock and specialty papers

• Shimmering accents, elegant shine, and luxe finishes

Any style, any occasion is welcome — as long as it’s a card, it’s new, and it features Spellbinders products currently available in our store. If it sparkles, shines, or glimmers… it’s perfect for January Glam
