Join the Spellbinders Monthly Cardmaking Challenge | February 2026 Pop of Color (Now Closed)

We’re excited to continue 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.

February Challenge Details

Challenge Dates: February 5th – 26th. For February’s Spellbinders Monthly Cardmaking Challenge, we’re turning up the color. “Pop of Color” is all about bold, bright, playful color combinations that instantly catch the eye. Create at least one brand-new handmade card using current Spellbinders products and add a noticeable pop of color anywhere you like. Think:

• Bright and unexpected color pairings
• A bold focal element against a neutral background
• Vibrant cardstock, inks, foils, or embellishments
• Colorful details that bring energy and personality to your design

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. Clean and simple or layered and detailed, subtle or bold — if your card has a pop of color, it’s perfect for February.
