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
